Ologies Podcast Suggestions
Ologies is a weekly science podcast hosted by Alie Ward. Each episode, Ward interviews an expert from a distinct scientific field.
This unofficial list contains book suggestions made by the host or by her guests. I avoided extremely technical books or papers. Currently from episode 1 to 525 More details on these books and their associated episodes in my ever evolving spreadsheet.
In the spreadsheet there are also books not found on Goodreads and general book recommendations (like the entire bibliography of a specific author or group of people)
feel, hear, see, taste nature
lyrical and evocative, to be at one with nature
tending the earth
eco-philosophy, ecology, capitalism and how it relates to climate, etc etc with some fiction thrown in there to spice things up.
Nature books that feel like a hug
Lay down in the moss and learn about nature
