Reviewing environment and nature memoir books that have come into my library! This is part 1 of my new environmental book review series where I will review books under all different genres under the realm of nature and environment writing. Today's books are about environmental activism, returning to the nature of ancestral homelands, and the magic of the grasslands.

I can't wait for the Environmental Fiction books video! I've been very curious about finding good books in this genre!

Hey Kristina! Thank you for this video. One of my New Year's Resolutions is to read more books especially about subjects I know very little to nothing about. In return may I suggest a fine permaculture classic "The One-Straw Revolution" by Masanobu Fukuoka who was born and raised on the Japanese island of Shikoku. Cheers!

@@kristina_lynn Yes! It can get pretty long and extensive (a bit of humor here and there) but the amount of knowledge and experiences shared through the science of Biogeography is beyond fascinating.

Hi ! I just wanted to tell you that I've been watching your videos since february and they really inspired me to study ecology/biology/environmental sciences in university next year (I'm currently studying natural sciences in Cégep (Québec)) ! So thank you !!! Also, I wanted to know if you read « A country year : living the questions » by Sue Hubbell ?

Hi im a middle schooler in an investigation careers class and i want to be a conservation biologist and i couldn't really find any good videos but i did find your videos and i wanted to ask when u are in one location like a for an example if your in Texas how long would u stay their how many months or years do u stay in 1 location till u move to a diffrent location and i know these 2 jobs are diffrent i was just wondering

@kristina_lynn 3 жыл бұрын

;mari; :jane: good question - it’s up to you and your career on what contracts you take! Common options though are either a field seasons length of time away (4-5 months), a few weeks at a time for a field visit, or multiple years away for a long contract.
