The Fall of the Wild: Extinction, De-Extinction, and the Ethics of Conservation by Ben A. Minteer

This is a book of (almost) essays. The author is an expert in the field and has been involved in multiple conversations about the status of the conservation and related fields. This may be an abrupt form of starting a review but the book is equally straightforward and jumps right into the heart of the…

The Papers of A.J. Wentworth, B.A. The Wentworth Papers, Book 1

This book was originally published in 1949 and is one of the many books being republished to bring to the attention of people like me, who would never have read it otherwise! I was torn between my emotions for poor Mr.Wentworth. I wanted to think of him as a pompous man who deserved the treatment…

Escape to Giddywell Grange by Kim Nash

I read my fair share of contemporary 'happy' books and I read them to feel a little more pepped up at the end of the protagonists character ARC and when she reaches an understanding of herself and her own goals. I start with this because I know by now which stories I enjoy and which…
