Before 1910 the American chestnut was one of the most common trees in the eastern United States. An important natural resource, chestnut wood was preferred for woodworking, fencing, and building construction, as it was rot resistant and straight grained. The hearty and delicious nuts also fed wildlife, people, and livestock.

Fascinating story!
Revisado: 12-14-22
This book provides a great story on this once common tree! Its history and uses shows how vital this tree was to native and early Americans. It's demise is tough to hear about but there are people who stepped up to try and save it. If you don't know the story of the American chestnut but want to learn, I recommend this book!

Most books about the history of humanity pursue either a historical or a biological approach, but Dr. Yuval Noah Harari breaks the mold with this highly original book. From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens integrates history and science to reconsider accepted narratives, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and examine specific events within the context of larger ideas.

This book is a great blend of stories and sound science. Ben does a great job of including indigenous wisdom from history, he also matches it with first hand accounts of the people living today carrying on ancient customs. The modern science is blended in to create a thrilling and educational book that tells stories of the past while laying out the potential future in the ever changing climate. I love these types of books and this will be one of the first books I'll recommend going forward! Thanks for this great book and all the stories included.

As a botanist and professor of plant ecology, Robin Wall Kimmerer has spent a career learning how to ask questions of nature using the tools of science. As a Potawatomi woman, she learned from elders, family, and history that the Potawatomi, as well as a majority of other cultures indigenous to this land, consider plants and animals to be our oldest teachers.

When we think of fungi, we likely think of mushrooms. But mushrooms are only fruiting bodies, analogous to apples on a tree. Most fungi live out of sight, yet make up a massively diverse kingdom of organisms that supports and sustains nearly all living systems. Fungi provide a key to understanding the planet on which we live, and the ways we think, feel, and behave.

Merlin does a great job presenting this book. Its educational and entertaining, learning all the ways our lives are connected to fungi has given me a new outlook towards life and an appreciation of the small organisms we may never see with our own eyes. Will be listening to this again.
