Forest Euphoria: The Abounding Queerness of Nature by Patricia Ononiwu Kaishian

4.0

---

This book is queer, romantic, and beautifully written! It hits on so many topics!  The author is great at storytelling and making autobiographical events, scientific history, ethics and philosophy together sound romantic. I was totally surprised when taxonomy, evolutionary biology, scientific history of biological sciences, invertebrates, and fungi, were discussed!! My background being in zoology and entomology, and become giddy when hearing anyone appreciate invertebrates! This book made me miss working in biological sciences all the more. Which is an unhealed wound for me, the current administration pushed me out of my biological science job back in Feb👎. 

I do have some criticisms. To be honest this book was a little too romantic for my taste and commonly anthropomorphized animals as having human emotions, but still a great read.
