What if Nature could talk to us--would we like what it has to say? What if it is already speaking to us, but we aren't listening? These are some of the many questions addressed in Through Nature's Lens. This latest book explores the history of nature and its impact on our lives. Important questions on the minds of all Iowans--water quality concerns, surprising cancer rates, increasing reliance on agricultural chemicals, and the fraught topic of climate change -- are addressed. Nature is the narrator, sharing its perspectives on our actions, which are particularly timely in this age of increased political extremism and federal and state actions that harm nature. The book is inspired by hope and finds it in opportunities like nature-based education, increasing citizen activism, innovative local efforts to enhance nature, and the ever-present role of land as the face of nature. Ideas on how citizens can become nature champions are shared in this latest installment of Professor Hamilton's nature series, which includes two previous books on the land and rivers.
