From butterflies and beetles to mosquitoes and moths, the "six-legged horde" receives admiring treatment, revealing the huge number and variety of bugs that occupy our space. With the Tvetens' intimate and knowledgeable descriptions, you are sure to begin viewing the nature at your doorstep in a whole new way."--BOOK JACKET.

Over the course of his career, Hal Borland wrote eight nature books and hundreds of “outdoor editorials” for the Sunday New York Times, extolling the virtues of the countryside.

Book Synopsis Nature at Your Door by : Sara A. Gagné
Download or read book Nature at Your Door written by Sara A. Gagné and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-07-01 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are an integral part of the ecosystem where we live. In this book we learn that what we do in our yards matters just as much as the way our local parks and nature preserves are managed. Author and professor of landscape ecology Sara Gagné focuses on the ecological importance of our day-to-day activities and spaces we are most familiar with and can most influence. With cutting-edge science, anecdotal experiences, and practical recommendations, Sara brings the message of how people and nature are vitally connected in the urban and suburban landscape. Each chapter is dedicated to a particular space—beginning with the yard, moving onto the street, the park, the greenway, the neighborhood, and the town/city. She tells stories of the latest ecological research, interwoven with her own experiences studying animals, to show readers how they affect nature and how nature in wilder, greener spaces affect us in both positive and negative ways. Sidebars feature practical steps readers can take to deepen their connections with nature. Based on the author’s fifteen years of research and teaching in urban ecology, the wide variety of places and topics covered in this book adds a fresh perspective to urban nature writing and appeals to those who want to take action to make the places they live greener, healthier, and more biodiverse for themselves, the wildlife, and the earth.

Book Synopsis Nature on the Doorstep by : Angela E. Douglas
Download or read book Nature on the Doorstep written by Angela E. Douglas and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2023-03-15 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nature on the Doorstep reveals the simple pleasures of paying attention to the natural world in one's own backyard over the course of a year. In weekly letters, Angela Douglas shares the joys and curiosities of a decidedly ordinary patch of green in upstate New York cultivated through the art of "strategic neglect"—sometimes taking a hand to manage wildlife, more often letting nature go its own way. From the first flowers of spring to cardinals singing in the winter, Douglas shows us the magic of welcoming unexpected plant and animal life into one's backyard. A paean to the richness we find when we stop to look and let be, Nature on the Doorstep celebrates the role humble backyards play both in conservation efforts and in an expanded appreciation of the living world.
