    New Wild Review vol 6 ep 1 Loren Eiseley’s The Star Thrower

    In the first podcast of 2025, we look at the essay by Loren Eiseley, "The Star Thrower", first published in his book The Unexpected Universe (1969). This essay has been paraphrased in numerous ways over the years, telling a simple story of a man encountering another person throwing Sea Stars into the ocean after they'd been heaved onto a beach by a storm. The man usually says something to the effect of "but there are so many, your efforts won't matter." No matter how the essay is paraphrased, it ends with the thrower telling the man that "it mattered to this one!"While many fond the little story thus paraphrased useful, the essay is so much more than that - in fact the phrase "it mattered to this one" isn't even in the orirginal text. Rather the essay is about the natural and proper work of beating back against the odds and loving the world. Eiseley writes of coming to realize that compassion, which in his time was considered anti-science, is as much a part of human nature as the fierce competitive aspect of living in the actual world which has been the presumption since Darwin. It's a magnificent and deeply reasoned piece of writing. You can listen to it here, in the latest edition of New Wild Review. As always, thank you for your support!

    New Wild Review vol 3 episode 2 – It becomes a part of you – a conversation with Veronica Bowers, songbird rehabilitator and advocate.

    This podcast is the recording of a conversation over the internet (please forgive the occasional audio glitch!) with Veronica Bowers the founder and executive director of Native Songbird Care and Conservation in Sebastapol, California. Veronica is a leader in rehabilitative songbird care, a powerful advocate for songbird conservation and protection and a standard setter for excellence in wildlife rehabilitation. It was a great pleasure to sit down and talk with her about achieving excellence, maintaining high standards over time, mentoring those who are new to the field of wildlife rehabilitation and keeping oneself healthy and sane despite the stress, sorrow and trauma that are an inescapable part of this work. Pour yourself a mug of chamomile and settle in for a long chat with Veronica Bowers!
