The book stands out by blending ecology with vivid storytelling, using analogies like the "wood-wide web" to demystify plant intelligence and coral reefs as bustling underwater cities. It bridges disciplines, linking plant carbon sequestration to climate policy and animal migration patterns to conservation design. Case studies, such as wolves revitalizing Yellowstone's ecosystems or mycorrhizal fungi boosting soil health, highlight practical applications. Structured in three sections, it progresses from core concepts like trophic levels to human impacts, urging readers to see societies as part of ecological networks.
By reframing resilience as collaboration between rooted and mobile life, Roots or Wings offers a fresh lens on climate change and conservation. Its narrative style balances rigor and accessibility, appealing to fans of Robin Wall Kimmerer while equipping policymakers and biologists with actionable insights-a compelling call to honor both stability and movement in safeguarding our planet's future.
