White bites into this critical issue and talks to the lobstermen who are working their tails off now but already bracing for an uncertain future. But that industry, currently booming, could soon crash as a result of climate change and warming oceans. The Last Lobster: Boom or Bust for Maine’s Greatest Fishery? by Christopher White - As someone who spent eight years living in coastal Maine, I know how utterly reliant the local economy is on lobster fishing. (Related: read Goldfarb’s recent essay, “Can Wildlife Services Learn to Believe in Beavers?”) Goldfarb looks at the consequences of the loss of beavers, as well as the people who are trying to restore their populations. Millions of these crafty critters were trapped and killed for their fur, leaving the ecosystems that depended on them up a creek without a beaver. Wildlife, Animals and Endangered Species:Įager: The Surprising, Secret Life of Beavers and Why They Matter by Ben Goldfarb - North America’s ecosystems are messed up, and the eradication of beavers is often to blame. As usual, we’ve tried to pick a wide range of titles for dedicated environmentalists, nature-loving kids, mystery fans and everyone in between. Here’s our list of the 16 best-looking books being published this month, including books about whales, beavers, sea-level rise, national parks, the Trump administration’s attacks on science, the history of radical environmentalism and a whole lot more. Luckily there are plenty of new environmentally themed books coming out in June - more than any one person could read at the beach or by the campfire, but enough for everyone to easily pick out a few titles that appeal to them. We’ve made it past Memorial Day weekend, which means that for many of us it’s time to start planning our summer reading lists.
