Recs if you like A Natural History of Empty Lots: Field Notes from Urban Edgelands, Back Alleys, and Other Wild Places...

A collection of non-fiction books that touch upon the stories of the natural world, and all the people who live among it. (Or, as an astronomer once said: "I love stories, and the story of our universe is the grandest one we have") Always open to suggestions!

Books dedicated to exploring how nature is all around us no matter how we try to fight it! Whether right outside our door, within our microbiomes, or deeper into our cities, nature will find us. After all, we are a part of it, not distinct from it.

Nonfiction books across varying interests. Excludes memoirs and self help books

Exploring the edgelands and (humanly) abandoned places where nature steps in, starts healing, and other lives take sanctuary.

I haven't read all of these, so this list is subject to change. Recommendations welcome.

like if you had to read this for school but actually enjoyed it
