I’m starting a new academic research project and will be periodically publishing excerpts in Brief Ecology as I write it, so paid subscribers can follow along in real time. The study is a literary and geo-critical analysis of a book titled Reading Shaver’s Creek: Ecological Reflections from an Appalachian Forest. To fully understand this project requires knowing a bit about what this book is.
