Chicago Review of Books' Best Nature Writing of 2018
List of Amy Brady's favorite nature writing published in the second half of the year. This one is filled with books that expand the traditional notion of nature writing to include some works that veer closer to poetry than prose, and address the darker realities of humanity’s relationship with nature: climate change, ecological destruction, and illegal poaching. That’s not to say this list is entirely depressing. On the contrary, these are books that inspire as well as reveal truths.
Allotment Stories: Daniel Heath Justice and Jean M. O'Brien.
Saving Animals: Elan Abrell and Kathryn (Katie) Gillespie on sanctuary, care, ethics.
Making creative laborers for a precarious economy: Josef Nguyen, Carly Kocurek, and Patrick LeMieux.
