Entwined: Dispatches from the Intersection of Species

Picture
.What can octopuses’ nine brains teach us about climate resilience?
How can great horned owls’ keen hearing illuminate relationship dynamics?
Does playing with kelp cultivate respect for the value of living things?


What can our 8.7 million “more-than-human” neighbors teach us about life?

Entwined: Dispatches from the Intersection of Species explores these questions through a collection of fourteen essays. Set in locations ranging from Alaska and California to Mexico and Honduras, Lyons’s stories are braided with careful observation, scientific research, and wonder to foster the connection between us and our nonhuman neighbors.
