The Forest Unseen: A Year's Watch in Nature by David George Haskell
3.0
"We are Russian dolls, our lives made possible by other lives within us."
A gentle reminder of the symbiotic nature humans have with the environment. We come from the same place as trees and animals, and that can be easy to forget in the society of metal that we have built up around ourself.
This book is a collection of short essays that describe the author's perceptions of nature, and contains as many interesting anecdotes as it does pointlessly extravagant language. The parts I enjoyed I loved, and the parts I did not enjoy had me skimming to the next section.
