Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake

Gathering Moss - a Natural History of Mosses (ok, older than 10 years, but so great and also the German translation appeared only recently!)

I'm also clearly not reading enough in our field, can't come up with an astro title I read ....

@mcnees (can't help with that but wanted to mention that my favorite is also a rotting - the disconnitued version of Tikky II, not the current one...)

@mcnees at the time of her death, she was my age, working in (roughly) my field ... Scary :(

A reminder, also to myself: if someone does not feel right, block. Block early. Block before you spend emotional energy.

It's not a public forum (except if you want it to be). It's your space. Your little corner. (Your salon if you run it like I do mine.)

Ahem... 📢

Dear ppl - please do not repost stuff from accounts such as "amazing science", "wonders of science/nature", etc. OR posts that use these accounts as sources.

They are spoofers, stealing artwork without attribution, often misrepresenting highly photoshopped (or fully artificial) images as real and not so seldomly posting absolutely bogus explanations.

Nature is beautiful - it does not need Photoshop or wrong explanations to make it sound more sensational.

And my colleague @mcnees has an even more detailed thread on Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin. Go and read! It includes a link to the PDF of her thesis:
