Soundings by Doreen Curnningham

A single mother and her toddler set off to follow the migration of grey whales from Mexico to Alaska.

She lived a decade earlier with the Iupiaq, traditional subsistence whalers in Alaska, and their family. Cunningham combines past and present to create a unique and unexpected blend of memoir and nature writing.

Cunningham brings a natural sensitivity to the page, whether she is observing the effects of global warming on the cetaceans’ lives, digging into the lives and struggles of the Iupiaq or sharing her personal struggles.

This is also a moving riposte for those who offer atomized views on the natural world.

Small Bodies of Water, the Nan Shepherd Prize winner, looks set to grow its fan base when it publishes paperback.

Powles, a mixed Malaysian Chinese and white Aotearoa Kiwi heritage, writes evocatively about shifting sands that confront those who struggle with belonging, identity, migration, or mobility.

The natural world plays a crucial role in all of this. Her essays here are loosely connected through a love for swimming and water.

These tiny bodies have held her down wherever she is in the world. But so have many plants, trees, and flowers. And, of course, delicious food. A shape-shifting wonder.

This Book is A Plant is an eclectic anthology that will make earth-lovers’ hearts beat faster. It wants us to reimagine our relationship to the natural world.

What are the marvels of plants? How can we see them with new, unprejudiced eyes. How can we help plants reclaim their histories?

An assortment of writers from around the world have opened our eyes to non-Eurocentric ways to relate to the natural world and plant consciousness. They include Sumana Roy and Jessica J. Lee, Robin Wall Kimmerer and Sheila Watt Cloutier, Nataly Canales and Sheila Watt Cloutier.

Haskell explores the rise, decline, and fragility of earth’s aural wonders. He explores the sonic wonders of birdsong, whales, forests and the human music of violins and ivory flutes.

How did each strand come to be in this symphony? What is the significance and purpose of the sounds that reverberate through and around us

He notes that sound connects us all. However, it can also be a destroyer of our lives. For example, the sound of chainsaws cutting down trees in the rainforest or the engine in a diesel truck.

He writes that our actions leave behind an impoverished sensory environment for the future. It is both sobering and enlightening. Publication date April 21.

Crowley psychologist and Wiccan Crowley wrote that Crowley’s magical wildness flourishes because of deep connection with all sentient nature.

She clarifies that she does not reject science and rationality, but rather shares an expanded vision of the world that places a spiritual relationship at the heart of it.

This book will send you running to the nearest wild place, eager for those moments of ecstasy which Crowley describes, when we become one in the movement of wind, the scent of the earth, and the song of birds.
