Love Plants and the Earth? Read This

Revisado: 10-31-19

This is my number one most highly recommended book. As a horticulturist I probably find myself referencing or talking about this book almost every single day. Masanobu Fukuoka has a deep knowledge grown through years of determined and gracious struggle. His efforts have born knowledge that is deeply important to continue to teach to every generation. It is a simplistic, natural, high effort, high reward type of stewardship of our lands that may come off as common sense but through reading this book you will realize there is nothing common about it.

Great read for economists and naturalists alike

Revisado: 10-31-19

This has become one of my most highly recommended books to the point I convinced my brother in law whom is a literary professor at CU Boulder to add it to one of his courses. Fungi is a connector and Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing uses this wondrous mushroom to connect vastly different worlds and economies by following the lines in the soil. Read this book and share it.

Worm Loving Horticulturist

Revisado: 10-31-19

I have maintained a large scale vermicompost bin for the past few years and reading this book gave me some great insights into the lives of the wriggly friends. It left me feeling appreciative of my soil building co-workers and even more determined to spread the the good word of the remarkable worm. Highly recommend.

This book opens your mind and melts your heart

Revisado: 01-27-18

Giving the scientific method an indigenous framework seems to make for a complete process. This book brought me tears, the calm of understanding and the joy of knowing many others feel a connection with Mother Earth. Robin Kimmerer's unique set of applied knowledge and science acumen is quite rare but increasingly important in today's world. Reading this reminded me that science is beautiful and so is the world we live in, if we choose to connect with it.

Great mixture of research and story telling

Revisado: 11-27-17

Do you believe yourself to be a rational and objective decision maker? If you trust your own judgement then you are in desperate need of this book. Dan Ariely gives his take on how if human beings are predictable at all, it is in the irrational way in which we remember, compare, contrast and decide. His research itself is probably entertaining enough to be a book but the conclusions he draws make real world application seamless. Great read.

We should all strive to be more like Jane Goodall

Revisado: 11-27-17

Jane Goodall is an amazing person. She personifies the calm curiosity in which we should all approach the world. Her life choices and experience are inspiring, her story is touching and reading this book definitely planted a seed of hope in my soul.

Thoreau was the best of us

Revisado: 11-02-17

Henry Thoreau spent two years, two months and two days living a simpler version of life so that he could change our view points for millennia. This book will change the way you see, hear, smell and experience our world. It is a pleasure to read and a warm reminder of the simple beauty in nature.

Short Answer: No...but books like this help

Revisado: 11-02-17

Are we smart enough? Are we open minded enough? Not yet most likely but people like Frans de Waal does an excellent job of detailing the history, research and current state of affairs in our views towards our fellow earthly brethren. I enjoyed this book very much and will never mess with a crow ever again!

Great Book for Scientific Minded Beginners

Revisado: 11-02-17

I especially appreciate the perspective of Robert Wright from the evolutionary biologists perspective. The connections and insight are powerful and may even start you down an enlightening path. Whether or not you are interested in meditation, this book is worth your while.
