À propos de cet audio
A distinctive, funny, inspiring, and intimate dive into urban nature.
With wonder and a sense of humor, Nature Obscura author Kelly Brenner aims to help us rediscover our connection to the natural world that is just outside our front door - we just need to know where to look.
Through explorations of a rich and varied urban landscape, Brenner reveals the complex micro-habitats and surprising nature found in the middle of a city. In her hometown of Seattle, which has plowed down hills, cut through the land to connect fresh- and saltwater, and paved over much of the rest, she exposes a diverse range of strange and unknown creatures.
From shore to wetland, forest to neighborhood park, and graveyard to backyard, Brenner uncovers how our land alterations have impacted nature, for good and bad, through the wildlife and plants that live alongside us, often unseen. These stories meld together, in the same way our ecosystems, species, and human history are interconnected across the urban environment.

You know nature? Think again.
Amazing. This book actually became a lifeline / lifesaver for me after I retired. My career was swallowed up by dullness and bureaucrats. I would binge watch tv at night to make memories of policies and procedures go numb in my head after work. They were spiritually dead. I too was soulless when I finally packed up my office. I bought a camera as a retirement present to myself to go bird watching but I had no clue where to start. Then on a random stroke of luck. I heard an interview and I learned about Kelly Brenner’s book. This woman’s curiosity, clever humour as well as her knowledge and expertise opened up the unseen world I was living in, but never noticed. I wish I could have lunch with her and be her geeky non environmentalist friend. Her writing is personal, intimate, filled with detail- you will never look at moss, insects, crows, trees or anything living, the same way again. My father, who is 88, got excited listening to this. The world is amazing and she is in the middle of it. Just wow. Thank you. Broken hearts can be healed by the power of nature. Looking to read A LOT more of her stuff. Don’t bother with all the self help “how to grieve” publications Get a hobby and get into learning. Let this brilliant woman open your eyes. It’ll be a game changer.
