Field Notes on Science & Nature
Michael R. Canfield (editor)
An interesting collection of essays on the many notetaking habits of field researchers! I skimmed over much of the scientific details as a non-scientist. I liked the essay on birding, and the one on sketching.

The Wake

Love the art. I enjoyed the first half, which was spooky and strange, a lot more than the second half, which was confusing.

I read this because of the cover, which stayed in my mind since when I first saw it. I kept reading it because the beginning was intriguing and I liked the writing. I found the rest of it slow and the ending unsatisfying. The narrative structure (told over 50 years, out of order) made me think a bit more about how long a lifetime really is.
