About David Haskell
Biologist David Haskell, PhD, of the University of the South, author of the best selling book The Forest Unseen, will be the speaker at the annual Wine & Wildflowers reception on Friday, March 8. Haskell will talk about his new book, coming out March 1, entitled Sounds Wild and Broken.
David Haskell is a longstanding supporter of the FSC and a past recipient of the FSC Yeatman Environmental Educational Award. His book The Forest Unseen was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the PEN/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award, and won the 2013 Best Book Award from the National Academies and the National Outdoor Book Award. Haskell is a masterful storyteller on paper and in person.
Advance praise for Haskell’s latest book, Sounds Wild and Broken, includes a review in Scientific American: “What do we lose when the diversity of Earth’s noise is drowned out by humans? The science stories in Sounds Wild and Broken offer one delight after another. What a joy to know that elephants can ‘hear’ with special sensory pads on their feet, picking up the rumbling voices in the ground, and that birds in cities sing at pitches higher than those of their country cousins, choosing frequencies less masked by the city’s dull roar.”
The late naturalist Edward O. Wilson, Harvard University, writes: “Haskell leads the reader into a new genre of nature writing, located between science and poetry, in which the invisible appear, the small grow large, and the immense complex and beauty of life are more clearly revealed.” The New York Times called his writings “…a welcome entry in the world of nature writers.”
