"I am dreaming of nature nonfiction and nature-laced memoirs that are rooted in the land, that give me hope, but don’t shy away from why we need that hope. Nature-driven books that marry science with storytelling."

NONFICTION: Nonfiction by experts in their field. Not so much memoir. Topics of interest include:

-Sex/gender studies
-Feminism from a fresh perspective
-Psychology and sociology
-Theology (teaching, not preaching)
-Mental health (anxiety, depression, self help if not preachy)

I would be pretty happy if someone sent me a commerical/pop history of the US govt prosecuting ppl on the left for "anti-US activity" from the red scare to Haymarket to the Prairieland defendants, etc. Ideally for a layperson audience, but also immaculately researched and fact-checked #mswl
