About this work

Description

"The publication reconsiders archival histories and explores how narrative can help us build more empathetic relationships with nature... Touching on subjects of colonialism, public access to science, the catty humor of botanists, and ecological catastrophes, the texts detail our inherent need as humans, with our virtues and failings, to make sense of the world."--Provided by publisher.
