Robert Macfarlane
“I?ve waited twenty years for this book. Arctic Dreams by Barry Lopez made me decide to become a writer, when I read it while walking the west coast of Vancouver Island, aged 21. Now, at last, comes Horizon, his first fulllength work of nonfiction since AD. It?s magnificent. | The books I read in 2022. Loved so many of these. The ones that really stayed with me (not necessarily my favorites) are in bold. Happy New Year, fellow book dorks.”

Consider From Seed to Plant by Gail Gibbons.
“Bright, picture-driven, and firmly aimed at early elementary listeners, this book walks through pollination, seed formation, and germination in clear, child-accessible steps. The strongest value is the combination of simple, age-appropriate vocabulary and colorful diagrams that make basic plant processes memorable during a single read-aloud. Its main limitation is scope: adults or older kids seeking depth or experimental instructions will find the text spare and the explanations high-level rather than detailed. No hands-on exercises are provided.”
