Timely-Takeaways for Lifelong Learners

"Natural magic: Emily Dickinson, Charles Darwin, and the dawn of modern science” by Renee Bergland is a thought-provoking work of comparative biography perfect for educators who have passions across disciplines. This engrossing work of nonfiction uses the lives of Emily Dickinson and Charles Darwin to explore shifts in thinking about the art and science of the natural world. As someone who enjoys both art and science through hobbies such as nature journaling and citizen science, I was fascinated to learn about how modern science split from what we now think of as the humanities and how these two nature lovers were caught in the middle of this change. This dive into the lives of two well-known but little understood writers will convince you to learn more about both the fascinating men and women of the 19th century.

Timely-Takeaways for Lifelong Learners

Emory, Jerry (2023). George Melendez Wright: The fight for wildlife and wilderness in the national parks. University of Chicago Press.

Celebrating the life and work of George Melendez Wright, this well-researched biography traces Wright’s vision for science-based wildlife management. Wright’s work set the standard for National Park Service policies and American conservation practices today. Because he died early in this career, it’s taken almost a century for him to become know to the general public.

Using primary source documents including field notes, letters, interviews, the author skillfully weaves together Wright’s personal and professional life. A champion of science-based wildlife management and conservation, Wright was trained as a field scientist. Many of Wright’s approaches were ahead of his time. His innovate work changed how natural resources are managed in national parks. Although many of his recommendations weren’t adopted until decades after his death, his wildlife studies conducted in the 1930s are still referenced today. His field studies were used to establish science-based wildlife management practice.

Emory’s conversational approach makes this compelling biography enjoyable to read. Whether exploring Wright’s early family life or his adventures conducting wildlife surveys, Emory builds an engaging narrative that helps readers understand his passion for both family and wildlife conservation and the tragedy of a life and career cut short.
