We meet apes that swallow leaves to dislodge worms, sparrows that use cigarette butts to repel parasites, and bees that incorporate sticky resin into their hives to combat pathogens.

How, she asks, can we learn from Indigenous wisdom and the plant world to reimagine what we value most? Our economy is rooted in scarcity, competition, and the hoarding of resources, and we have surrendered our values to a system that actively harms what we love. Meanwhile, the serviceberry's relationship with the natural world is an embodiment of reciprocity, interconnectedness, and gratitude. The tree distributes its wealth--its abundance of sweet, juicy berries--to meet the needs of its natural community. And this distribution ensures its own survival.

However Desert Solitaire is not just a collection of one man's stories, the book is also a philosophical memoir, full of Abbey's reflections on the desert as a paradox, at once beautiful and liberating, but also isolating and cruel.

In the summer, Dillard stalks muskrats in the creek and contemplates wave mechanics; in the fall, she watches a monarch butterfly migration and dreams of Arctic caribou. She tries to con a coot; she collects pond water and examines it under a microscope. She unties a snake skin, witnesses a flood, and plays King of the Meadow with a field of grasshoppers. The result is an exhilarating tale of nature and its seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 x 8 x 5.45 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 10, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46627469623375,"sku":"9780061233326","price":17.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/8328\/0463\/files\/B-Ep9hCL219780061233326.webp?v=1788543110"},{"product_id":"the-soul-of-an-octopus-a-surprising-exploration-into-the-wonder-of-consciousness-paperback","title":"The Soul of an Octopus: A Surprising Exploration Into the Wonder of Consciousness - Paperback","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eSy Montgomery\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinalist for the National Book Award for Nonfiction * \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003eBestseller * Starred \u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal \u003c\/i\u003eEditors' Spring Pick * A \u003ci\u003eHuffington Post\u003c\/i\u003e Notable Nonfiction Book of the Year * One of the Best Books of t\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSy Montgomery is a naturalist, adventurer, and author of more than thirty acclaimed books of nonfiction for adults and children, including \u003ci\u003eThe Hummingbirds' Gift\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Hawk's Way\u003c\/i\u003e, the National Book Award finalist \u003ci\u003eThe Soul of an Octopus\u003c\/i\u003e, and most recently, \u003ci\u003eOf Time and Turtles\u003c\/i\u003e, which was a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestseller.
