while i don't agree with every essay in this collection, it is generally a really insightful look into how we view the natural world and what we can do to learn and grow in our awareness of our environment. i'm always a fan of critiquing academia, and this does it in a way that understands the point of formal education while also pointing out that what it focuses on is not always what's actually important. unlike most environmental science-based essay collections, this one makes a point to include artists, poets, musicians, and other creatives, which allows for a more well-rounded view of how various forms of environmental awareness fit into one larger education.
my fav essay: Robin Wall Kimmerer's, but that shouldn't surprise anyone, i adore her writing
