Omschrijving
Farnsworth has created a single narrative out of experiences from various years and turned the rotating cast of science professors who helped lead the class into a composite character, "Dr. Awesome." The result is warm and witty, a resource full of information about birds, sea creatures, desert plants, and the changing environment; tips for camping, cooking, kayaking, and teaching writing; and insights into how humans respond to encounters with the natural world.
A lifelong student of literary natural history, John Seibert Farnsworth teaches environmental writing and literature at Santa Clara University. He holds a PhD from the University of Stirling, in Scotland, and masters degrees from Antioch and Stanford universities. For more than a decade, his signature course, "Writing Natural History," culminated with a sea kayak expedition to the Isla Espiritu Santo archipelago of Baja California during spring break. In addition to being an avid sea kayaker, Farnsworth is a retired scuba instructor and a dedicated birder. His current research focuses on how long-term ecological studies foster community.
