The Next Noise is Our Hearts
“The Next Noise Is Our Hearts draws on history, science, and poetic language to raise our awareness of the interdependence of humans and the natural worlds. Poetic words draws the reader into the wonder and awe of the natural world while learning scientific facts on the demise of species or damage to the environment. Fascinating scientific facts are offered—honeybees make twenty-five thousand trips for every of honey, and then, we are reminded that humans depend on pollinating invertebrates, forty percent of which face extinction.
Willard reminds us, ‘the world floods with eerie beauty,’ that “small miracles” are right outside our back door, that beauty and wonder and ecological damage occur across the West and the world. She ends with a call to action; the evidence cannot be ignored.”
—Linda Joye, Emeritus Research Ecologist for the USDA Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station and owner of the Kealakoa tree farm in Hawaii.
