Because reviewing natural history books doesn't feed the bulldog, I have a bread and cheese job developing microscopes, binoculars, and other optical instruments. Presently I'm at @nstaofficial.bsky.social talking about @celestronuniverse.bsky.social microscopes. If you're here, I'm at stand 1641.
And yet it is still so much superior to the present (dis)United States.
As my impromptu urban naturalizing activities have mostly only gained me quizzical looks and the odd hesitant question, I long thought I was the only person who did such things. Then I recently discovered the writings of @amandatuke.bsky.social. #Booksky

I placed your book at the top of Mt. To-be-read promptly upon its arrival and have now, in fact, begun reading it. You had me right from the first page. Your approach to natural history - that it's not necessary to travel far but only to adjust your perspective - is one I hope spreads far and wide.
That's a very interesting question. I'm looking forward to hearing @lixingsun.bsky.social's explanation in this interview. #Booksky
Now this is a book that looks to be very interesting indeed! #BookSky

Thank you very much, Blackwell's. Without you and your willingness to send books to the former colonies, I would be deprived of the joy of reading many of the fine works of modern British natural history. @chiffchat.bsky.social @britishwildlife.bsky.social @amandatuke.bsky.social #Booksky
