Bat Ecology | Thomas H. Kunz, M. Brock Fenton

I bought a bar calendar for 2025 from Bar World Sanctuary, and they also sent their annual report, which is a transparent breakdown of their finances, but also an index of their rescues for the year. So many lovely sky puppies!

Yuki_Onna Awwww... So cute! 🥰🦇 3w

AnnCrystal 🤩🦇 sky puppies! Like that nickname for them ☺️💫. 3w

Deblovestoread Maybe I can get over my fear of them by calling them Sky puppies 🤷🏻‍♀️ 3w

RamsFan1963 My brain is wired to see certain words. When I first saw the pic I thought it said Bat Man Sanctuary, and I wondered why it wasn't one word 🤣 3w

A Sand County Almanac, and Sketches Here and There | Aldo Leopold

bailed

Many moons ago I did an environmental studies minor in college and this book was mentioned repeatedly. I‘m glad Leopold exists for having influenced so many in thinking about the natural world, but much as I‘ve tried for several years now, this book is not for me. It just doesn‘t hold my interest.

Ecosocialism: A Radical Alternative to Capitalist Catastrophe | Michael Löwy

pick

Change the system, not the climate.
An accessible introduction to the idea of ecosocialism. Makes clear that capitalism cannot be made environmentally friendly, nor can leftist/neoliberal governments who are backing corporations/capitalism, no matter how many green washing initiatives are advertised, an obvious conclusion given decades of international environmental conferences without seeing meaningful reduction in carbon emissions, etc. 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? Explains the socialist experiments of the 20th century failing for specific reasons, mistakes that do not have to be repeated, as well as the ways the original idea of socialism should be upgraded from modern sensibilities. Clarifies how the conjoining of eco- with -socialism allows for the best path forward to ensure both global justice and environmental recovery. 2mo

Robotswithpersonality 3/? Heavy emphasis on solidarity, acknowledging where indigenous and labour movements have made some progress against corporations which sought to harm and harvest, i.e. the Amazon rainforest, while acknowledging the obstacles, the work needed on the ground to remake government and society in such a way, and the need for more detailed plans. 2mo

Robotswithpersonality 4/? I am glad that the author never missed a chance to remind the reader that working toward this vision should not stop the attempts to get certain environmental initiatives happening ASAP, even within the existing governmental framework, as time is growing short in respect to the effects of global warming. 2mo

Robotswithpersonality 5/6 A collection of essays, with an appendix of manifesto and declarations, this lays the groundwork that lets me understand the importance and the goals, and empowers me to do further research, investigate avenues of action in support of ecosocialism, because the case made here is a strong and convincing one. (edited) 2mo

Robotswithpersonality 6/6 If I have one complaint it's that the same ground appears to be covered multiple times in a short space, but insofar as that increases the chances of any reader absorbing the salient points, I can't blame Löwy for that approach. 2mo

Ecological Literacy: Education and the Transition to a Postmodern World | David W. Orr

"The plain fact is that the planet does not need more successful people. But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every kind. It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane. And these qualities have little to do with success as we have defined it.”

A Sand County Almanac, and Sketches Here and There | Aldo Leopold

pick

(Don‘t make me pose, dad! I‘m tired!)

A gentle naturalist classic. He can be a little poetic, but mostly he quietly talks about what he‘s seen, and more passionately talks about what he thinks we are losing (It‘s a 1949 view. He underestimated) There is a lot of naturalist experience behind his writing. Recommended to those interested in the naturalist literary tradition.

Dispersals: On Plants, Borders, and Belonging | Jessica J. Lee

pick

This is a beautiful collection of essays that span place and time and ideas of borders, belonging, invasion, and conquering.
I am not one to read much non-fiction but this kept me engaged and both resonated with me as well as provoked more questions.
