![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Ultimately, it’s about how we can learn to coexist, harmoniously and even beneficially, with our fellow travelers on this planet. Eager is a powerful story about one of the world’s most influential species, how North America was colonized, how our landscapes have changed over the centuries, and how beavers can help us fight drought, flooding, wildfire, extinction, and the ravages of climate change. From the Nevada deserts to the Scottish highlands, Believers are now hard at work restoring these industrious rodents to their former haunts. Today, a growing coalition of “Beaver Believers”-including scientists, ranchers, and passionate citizens-recognizes that ecosystems with beavers are far healthier, for humans and non-humans alike, than those without them. The consequences of losing beavers were profound: streams eroded, wetlands dried up, and species from salmon to swans lost vital habitat. In Eager, environmental journalist Ben Goldfarb reveals that our modern idea of what a healthy landscape looks like and how it functions is wrong, distorted by the fur trade that once trapped out millions of beavers from North America’s lakes and rivers. The fascinating story of how nature's most ingenious architects shaped our world, and how they can help save it. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you have not had a chance to read one of her books, try this one first. When I first started reading this book, I had no clue that Rekab had written other books and I thought this writer needs to continue to write she has a voice that should be heard - and then I looked her up (laugh) and she has been writing. Enter for a chance to win one of 100 copies of Phianna Rekabs memoir, Busted: A Memo. It is a familiar tale, unfortunately, but I think it is one that every teenager should read and should be part of a high school reading list because it gives the point of view from her at that age and Rekab's voice is perfectly shown for that time period. She holds the mirror up to everyone - including herself. She indicates this through her stories of her family, friends, and herself. Ugly pain and hardship meets good humor as she details her personal story of migrating from the Caribbean and growing up in Brooklyn, New York in the 1980s. Coming to America in the 1980s, Rekab's family came at a period where you would have thought all of the strife of hard living would have passed, but it never does if you are a non-white. Her voice changes from the child hiding under the table sipping sweet milk to the disillusioned yet still oddly hopeful American immigrant. Phianna Rekab's teenage voice clearly shows through this memoir of those years from her travels from her home in the Caribbean to the dreamland called America. ![]() ![]() How long they’ve been keeping their relationship a secret.
