<p><em>I love the playful lyricism of this book, combined with its soulful reflectivity. The words beautifully articulate a collective experience of our time: awe for the abundance and flourishing of nature, and the grief of irreparable loss. Laurel shares remarkable learnings from communing with nature, whether it be the joy of parent and child encountering 1000 sea lions, or reflecting on the loss of tens of thousands of shorebirds that we no longer see with the rapid decline of bird populations. Terms of Venery conveys a powerful message: reconnecting with diverse ecosystems can motivate us to defend them.</em><br></p>
