The Arbornaut: A Life Spent Discovering the Eighth Continent in the Trees Above Us Staff Pick: Jan Arbornaut is the story of globe-trotting canopy explorer and scientist, Meg Lowman, who self-professed shyness and introversion led her to the tops of the trees, but whose unwavering passion for tree conservation spurred a 40-year+ career pioneering tree canopy research and recreation. by Meg Lowman | published August 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551ed22be4b0820f03494c61/1631626547417-NEZICY2O0I3JU0DABWDU/Sept+15+2021+Blog+Cover.png The Main Squeeze - Vitamin N(ature) for your night stand - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551ed22be4b0820f03494c61/1631621577585-SEHPV5XHZHDRHKCVBSXI/Windswept-cover-RGB-800x1236.jpeg The Main Squeeze - Vitamin N(ature) for your night stand - 3.

The End of Night: Searching for Natural Darkness in an Age of Artificial Light Staff Pick: Jennifer For millenia humans have looked up to the stars to create the stories of their humanity and origins, and now that experience is relegated to niche moments like summer camp and destination travel because light pollution from human development drowns out visibility of sky objects This is a thought-provoking tour of the night sky and our relationship to it. by Paul Bogard | published July 2014 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551ed22be4b0820f03494c61/1631620651600-PTCQERS959R2UROI41LG/9780812975598.jpeg The Main Squeeze - Vitamin N(ature) for your night stand - 2. The Wild Trees Staff Pick: Adah Scientists didn’t begin studying the redwood canopy until the 1990’s because they couldn’t get into them. A couple of college students decided to use their rock climbing gear to give it a (wholly terrifying) go of it, and opened one of the last natural frontiers in the United States for scientific observation and learning. This book is a fascinating profile of the very odd ducks that pioneered redwood canopy climbing and research. Read this before you read Damnation Spring by Ash Davidson, and you’ve got an incredible book pairing.

In an imaginary Nigeria, a cunning entrepreneur is selling body parts stolen from Dr. Menka's hospital for use in ritualistic practices. Dr. Menka shares the grisly news with his oldest college friend, bon viveur, star engineer, and Yoruba royal, Duyole Pitan-Payne. The life of every party, Duyole is about to assume a prestigious post at the United Nations in New York, but it now seems that someone is deter­mined that he not make it there. And neither Dr. Menka nor Duyole knows why, or how close the enemy is, or how powerful. by Wole Soyinka - September 28, 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551ed22be4b0820f03494c61/1631117259448-K0MXIEUSDH2PZEGBDVJ6/9780062312662.jpeg The Main Squeeze - The September Pipeline - When Ghosts Come Home When the roar of a low-flying plane awakens him in the middle of the night, Sheriff Winston Barnes knows something strange is happening at the nearby airfield on the coast of North Carolina. But nothing can prepare him for what he finds: a large airplane has crash-landed and is now sitting sideways on the runway, and there are no signs of a pilot or cargo. When the body of a local man is discovered—shot dead and lying on the grass near the crash site—Winston begins a murder investigation that will change the course of his life and the fate of the community that he has sworn to protect. by Wiley Cash - September 21, 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551ed22be4b0820f03494c61/1631117379301-XQGCQOG9SRFHHPL7HZ7Q/9780593457047.jpeg The Main Squeeze - The September Pipeline - Bewilderment A heartrending new novel from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Overstory.

Set in Constantinople in the fifteenth century, in a small town in present-day Idaho, and on an interstellar ship decades from now, Anthony Doerr’s gorgeous third novel is a triumph of imagination and compassion, a soaring story about children on the cusp of adulthood in worlds in peril, who find resilience, hope—and a book. In Cloud Cuckoo Land, Doerr has created a magnificent tapestry of times and places that reflects our vast interconnectedness—with other species, with each other, with those who lived before us, and with those who will be here after we’re gone. by Anthony Doerr - September 28, 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551ed22be4b0820f03494c61/1631116671056-7FR6MK69IXUL48WRR8LQ/9781324001935.jpeg The Main Squeeze - The September Pipeline - Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law What’s to be done about a jaywalking moose? A bear caught breaking and entering? A murderous tree? Three hundred years ago, animals that broke the law would be assigned legal representation and put on trial. These days, as New York Times best-selling author Mary Roach discovers, the answers are best found not in jurisprudence but in science: the curious science of human-wildlife conflict, a discipline at the crossroads of human behavior and wildlife biology. by Mary Roach - September 14, 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551ed22be4b0820f03494c61/1631118114597-EW4PGPWWAC8NT9KR7YKL/9781250217349.jpeg The Main Squeeze - The September Pipeline - Under the Whispering Door A Man Called Ove meets The Good Place in Under the Whispering Door, a delightful queer love story from TJ Klune, author of the New York Times and USA Today bestseller The House in the Cerulean Sea.

The voices belong to the things in his house—a sneaker, a broken Christmas ornament, a piece of wilted lettuce. Although Benny doesn't understand what these things are saying, he can sense their emotional tone; some are pleasant, a gentle hum or coo, but others are snide, angry and full of pain. When his mother, Annabelle, develops a hoarding problem, the voices grow more clamorous. by Ruth Ozeki - September 21, 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551ed22be4b0820f03494c61/1631115991562-DUP9HCGSQOUS5ZBJ6PDN/Copy+of+Sept+7+2021+Blog+Thumbnail.png The Main Squeeze - The September Pipeline - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551ed22be4b0820f03494c61/1631116787846-6QNSRDD0CY2NE63E2XXP/9781250220257.jpeg The Main Squeeze - The September Pipeline - When Apples Never Fall If your mother was missing, would you tell the police?
