Are we smart enough to know how smart animals are? By Frans De Waal
Scientific literature on animal intelegence. What it looks like, how's it's different than ours and how it's studied. A bit dry but fascinating
The company by Stephen R Brown
Oh man. I love this book. For leaf only as it deals with the history of the Hudson's Bay company, a frontier fur trading empire that operated mostly in Canada. Full of adventure for a non-fiction.
Willing by Isabella tree
Another great read. A minor noble or member of the landed gentry (not sure which) in Britain's experience with restoring thier large farming estate into natural habitat. Very comfy and inspiring to read about a small victory of nature against development in one of Europe's most developed countries. Would recommend.
Twilight of the mammoths by Paul S Martin
Pleistocene archeology and theorizing on what caused the demise of the Pleistocene mega-fauna. Actually deals more with giant ground sloths than holly mammoths, but whatever. Interesting book.
The aliens among us by Leslie Anthony.
Invasive species. The information wasn't as expansive as I was expecting considering its length. The author also seems like a fag (he regularly gets sidetracked on whining about a specific politician that lives rent free in his head). It was ok... I wouldn't necessarily recommend.
The comfort crisis by Michael Easter.
Super interesting. Deals with the unintended consequences of an overly comfortable modern lifestyle. He frames this around his experience with a caribou hunt. Lots of it has to do with nature and the outdoors. Would recommend.
American Serengeti by Dan Flores.
Talks about the mega fauna of the North American great Plains, specifically thier history and significance pre-european settlement, as well as thier ensuing extraction from much of the continent. We've lost so much bros. Very good read.
