Stranded

di Bearzi Maddalena (Autore)

Heyday, 2023

A marine scientist, stuck at home during the pandemic, turns her scientific skills to the world of urban nature. Urban nature is a growing book genre since the pandemic. Maddalena Bearzi’s voice is compelling: She writes with warmth, candor, and caution for a general audience about the collective traumas of the pandemic and the challenges that still lie ahead as we face climate breakdown—issues of acute interest in the culture. Bearzi has been published with Harvard, University of Chicago, and has been featured on CNN, NPR, Al Jazeera, Los Angeles Times, American Scientist, and National Geographic among others. For nature lovers of all stripes, environmental scientists, and activists, readers of Braiding Sweetgrass and any book that attends to our connections with the natural world; this is a book with national appeal and particular interest to the LA market where the author is based and from which standpoint she is writing. Teaches readers how to become a citizen scientist through examples of observation, and also shows how observation leads to wonder at the spectacular that was hidden in the all-too-familiar. Features illustrations by the author.
