Hey Y’all,

I just learned that my book, Explorations in Ecology, is included in a Barnes & Noble (B&N) preorder campaign that starts today (6/23) and runs through Friday (6/26). B&N Rewards members (it's free to sign up online) get 25% off all preorders. B&N Premium members get 25% off, plus an additional 10% discount.

As many of you know, I wrote Explorations in Ecology as a guide for adults interested in supporting kids learning a synthesis of modern ecology (including permaculture) and traditional ecological knowledge (including ancestral skills and a relational kinship worldview) while playing and exploring in relatively wild ecosystems and gardens.

You can preorder now at a discount via the link below:

Please consider sharing this post with any friends who care for kids. Preordering now is the single best way to support the book. Many thanks!
