pickThe history of the National Forest Service and the men who helped form it along with a horrific forest fire that happened in Idaho at the time. This was a really good book in face of what‘s happening now. (Pictured is a note written in a historic school house in Smoky Mountain National Park.)
I started a re-listen to this book about the beginnings of the US Forest Service and the response to massive wildfires in Idaho around that time. Somehow I had forgotten what a great conservationist Teddy Roosevelt was.
During this blog we turn the Authors Spotlight onto Lukas Klessig and his book “Words With My Father: A Bipolar Journey Through Turbulent Times”.
Words With My Father offers a gripping portrait of the evolution of a young man's mental illness and how it manifested into a dramatic and often dangerous existence through the turbulence of the Civil Rights, Peace and Conservation movements.

bailedMany moons ago I did an environmental studies minor in college and this book was mentioned repeatedly. I‘m glad Leopold exists for having influenced so many in thinking about the natural world, but much as I‘ve tried for several years now, this book is not for me. It just doesn‘t hold my interest.

Wow! Fascinated nonfiction book about how “conservation became a movement for the protection of all species including human”.
This book made me feel angry and sad about the atrocities made in the past that put in extinction many species. Things that I was not aware, things I ignored, shame on me, because these actions put in danger these species and I admire led some of these actions in the fashion world😔⬇️

A gentle naturalist classic. He can be a little poetic, but mostly he quietly talks about what he‘s seen, and more passionately talks about what he thinks we are losing (It‘s a 1949 view. He underestimated) There is a lot of naturalist experience behind his writing. Recommended to those interested in the naturalist literary tradition.
