July 8 - The Solace of Sunrise 

              with Ted Levin
Finding solace during the Pandemic by writing about the natural world right outside the front door for 500 days

 

 

A former Bronx Zoo zoologist, Ted Levin is the author of Blood Brook: A Naturalist’s Home GroundBacktracking: The Way of the Naturalist, and Liquid Land: A Journey through the Everglades, which won the Burroughs Medal in 2004. He has written for Sports IllustratedAudubonNational WildlifeNational Geographic Traveler, and other publications.

Ted Levin “has trained himself over the course of a lifetime to read animal signs the way a forensic scientist might interpret the physical evidence at a crime scene. Levin is a naturalist, somebody, as he puts it, who interprets the environment and aspects of the environment to the public. He also defines himself by what he isn’t: he doesn’t conduct original research, and therefore doesn’t consider himself a scientist. Levin leads the life of what most would consider to be a modern-day adventurer. He’s trailed Kodiak bears, Florida alligators, eagles, puffins, coyotes, salamanders and even mosquitoes (when they weren’t swarming behind him). His primary pursuit is tromping through swamps, sloughs, forests, mountains, prairies, deserts, and tundra in search of flora and fauna. He makes his home in Thetford, and he earns a living as a writer and photographer. He’s written three natural history books: Backtracking, Blood Brook and his latest tour de force, Liquid Land: a Journey Through the Florida Everglades, which was published in September. Levin is a Vermont Public Radio commentator, a syndicated newspaper columnist, the coauthor and photographer of a series of books for children and a contributor to The Curious Naturalist, a book published by National Geographic. He’s also written articles for Audubon, Sports Illustrated, Wild Earth, Sierra Club Magazine, National Wildlife and National Geographic Traveler. Levin’s photographs have been published in the Sierra Club calendar, Audubon Magazine, Vermont Life, and The New York Times. Liquid Land, which has received glowing reviews from Publishers Weekly, Washington Times and Audubon, is part thorough going natural history of the Everglades, complete with details about the climate, geology, human history and individual species unique to the great swamp, and part muckraking expose. “
