<p>Join Ellen and Jennifer and making her debut as their 3rd co host is &nbsp;tiny human Kaeda! &nbsp;You have been warned now that there will be some cute baby noises in this episode! &nbsp;They will be chatting all about the book: &nbsp;The Forest Unseen by &nbsp;David George Haskell&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>⭐Why Stories From the Earth? &nbsp;Humankind’s relationship to the natural world is as diverse and dynamic as each individual plant, animal, mineral, and piece of geography. There are many ways that we can engage with our living planet, be it through herbalism, gardening, hiking and other explorations, meditation and observation, and even artistic expressions. There are many ways for us to connect, and it is important to do so, as the human species is not a separate entity from the whole web of life. Each takes their own path. This series explores some of the many ways in which people may weave a tapestry of meaning in coexistence and mutuality with what surrounds us, these are Stories From the Earth.</p> <p><br></p> <p>⭐From the cover: Visiting a one square meter patch of old growth Tennessee forest almost daily for 1 year, biologist David Haskell traces nature's oath through the seasons and brings the forest and it's inhabitants to vivid life. Beginning with simple observations - a salamander scuttling across the leaf litter; the first blossom of spring wildflowers - Haskell spins a brilliant web of biology, ecology, and poetry. He explains the science that binds together the tiniest microbes in the largest mammals, and describes the ecosystems that have cycled for thousands - &nbsp;sometimes millions - of years. Written with remarkable grace and empathy, The Forest Unseen is a grand tour of nature and all its beauty and complexity.</p> <p><br></p> <p>⭐As mentioned in the Podcast</p> <p>Fall of Civilizations</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@FallofCivilizations" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@FallofCivilizations</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>⭐The Unruly &nbsp;Podcast&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="https:
