    Episode 171: Beronda L. Montgomery - When Trees Testify

    Beronda L. Montgomery is a writer, researcher, science communicator, and professor at Michigan State University and Grinnell College. With a PhD in Plant Biology, her research has centered on how photosynthetic organisms adapt to changes in their environment. On this episode of Nature Revisited, Montgomery explores the intersection of trees in America and Black History & Culture. Pecan trees were domesticated by an enslaved African; sycamore trees were both havens and signposts for people trying to escape enslavement; poplar trees are historically associated with lynching. Montgomery explains how knowledge surrounding these trees has shaped America since the very beginning and are material witnesses to the lives of enslaved Africans and their descendants. https://www.berondamontgomery.com When Trees Testify book: https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250335166/whentreestestify/ Listen to Nature Revisited on your favorite podcast apps, on YouTube, or at https://noordenproductions.com Subscribe on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/bdz4s9d7 Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/5n7yx28t Subscribe on Youtube Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/bddd55v9 Podlink: https://pod.link/1456657951 Support Nature Revisited https://noordenproductions.com/support Nature Revisited is produced by Stefan van Norden and Charles Geoghegan.

    Episode 169: Terry Tempest Williams - The Glorians

    Terry Tempest Williams is an American writer, educator, conservationist, and activist. Writing in the genre of creative nonfiction and lyrical essay, her work focuses on social and environmental justice ranging from issues of ecology and the protection of public lands and wildness, to women's health, to exploring humanity's relationship to culture and nature. On this episode of Nature Revisited, Williams discusses her latest work The Glorians and the formative experiences in her life that led to its writing. A Glorian is the name Williams has given ordinary, often overlooked presences—animal, plant, memory, moment—that reveal our shared vulnerability and interconnectedness with the natural world. Recognizing the Glorians within our own lives can be a testament to the power of witness, a field guide to finding grace in the unexpected, and a moving invitation to engage with one another and our surroundings with renewed intention. http://www.terrytempestwilliams.com/ https://groveatlantic.com/book/the-glorians/ Listen to Nature Revisited on your favorite podcast apps, on YouTube, or at https://noordenproductions.com Subscribe on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/bdz4s9d7 Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/5n7yx28t Subscribe on Youtube Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/bddd55v9 Podlink: https://pod.link/1456657951 Support Nature Revisited https://noordenproductions.com/support Nature Revisited is produced by Stefan van Norden and Charles Geoghegan.
