Bøker av Georgann Eubanks

"Georgann Eubanks offers readers a tour of the seasonal joys of ecosystems in the Southeast. The ordinary destinations and events she explores are scattered across seven states and include such wonders as a half-million purple martins roosting on an island in a South Carolina lake, the bloom of thirty acres of dimpled trout lilies in a remote Georgia forest, gnat larvae that glow like stars on the rock walls of an obscure Alabama canyon, and the overnight accumulation of elaborately patterned moths on the side of a North Carolina mountain cabin. These phenomena and others reveal how plants, mammals, amphibians, and insects are managing to persevere despite pressures from human invasion, habitat destruction, and climate change. Their stories also shine a light on the efforts of dedicated scientists, volunteers, and aspiring young naturalists who are working to reverse losses and preserve the fabulous ordinary that's still alive in the fields, forests, rivers, and coastal estuaries of this essential and biodiverse region"--

"Paul Green (1894-1981) is best known for his outdoor historical dramas, which are still performed across the United States. In North Carolina, The Lost Colony remains a must-do event on a trip to the Outer Banks. Green was not only a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, but was also an activist committed to human rights, racial equity, prison reform, and ending the death penalty. This anthology includes the frank reflections from an array of award-winning contemporary North Carolina writers. Their essays about Green's work and relationships will launch new conversations about a man who was seen as progressive, even radical in his time" --
