Recently I have been curating some bird books that I will bringing at my next popup at the Freedom Farmer's Market at the Carter Center on Saturday morning, October 12th.
There are reference books like Birdpedia and Birds of Georgia which are never out of date. The book The Verb to 'Bird' is a timeless eclectic memoir on birding that came out over two decades ago.
Birds and Us: A 12,000-Year History from Cave Art to Conversation, just arrived in my last shipment of books. It is a hefty sized book, which you would expect of a book that spans centuries of bird lore.
You may wonder why Gods, Wasps and Stranglers: The Secret History and Redemptive Future of Fig Trees is part of the mix, but the not-to-be-ignored Rhinoceros Hornbill plays an integral part of the fig tree Circle of Life. I just finished reading this book a month ago inspired by the reports from those readers who visited our booth. They absolutely correct about what a delight this book is.
Admittedly, I was so inspired that I am looking to plant a couple of fig trees in the back pollinator area of our development.
(Most of these books are also available at our pint-sized "permanent" popup stall at The Journeyman in downtown Decatur.)
