Wild Hearts Beat

Summary

Wild Hearts Beat explores the innovative concept of "forest morale," suggesting that a forest's well-being extends beyond board-feet or biodiversity to include elements like routine and hope. It examines how predictable cycles, such as seasonal changes, and the forest's capacity for regeneration contribute to its overall health and ecological resilience. Keystone species play a vital role in maintaining ecological stability, while disturbances like fire can unexpectedly foster hope through renewal, highlighting the forest's dynamic nature. 

 
The book adopts a narrative non-fiction approach, blending scientific rigor with engaging storytelling to make complex ecological concepts accessible. Focusing primarily on temperate and boreal forests, where seasonal cycles are pronounced, Wild Hearts Beat examines how these forests respond to environmental stressors. 

 
The book progresses by first introducing the concept of forest morale, then exploring the roles of keystone species and the impact of cyclic events, and finally presenting practical strategies for forest management. This unique perspective challenges conventional approaches, urging a more holistic view that considers the forest as a complex adaptive system.

Frostlines - A Journey Through...

Neil Shea

SILVER WINNER OF THE 2026 NAUTILUS BOOK AWARDS 
Recommended Read from Yale Climate Connections 
“[Frostlines weaves] together natural history, indigenous perspective, and environmental transformation in the Arctic. The book helps bring a human story to the science of climate change.”—Parade 
A sweeping exploration of the Arctic—and how it’s being transformed by climate change—from National Geographic writer Neil Shea 
As warming reshapes our planet, the Arctic—a region that once seemed unchangeable, beyond the reach of modern problems—is quickly coming undone. While the old cold world can still be glimpsed in the movements of caribou, the hidden lives of wolves, and the hunting skill of an Iñupiaq elder, look closer and you’ll find a new Arctic appearing in its place. 
In Frostlines, Neil Shea blends natural history, anthropology, and travel writing to explore how the beauty, chaos, and power of change in the far north are reflected in the lives of people and animals. He sojourns with a wolf pack on Canada’s Ellesmere Island and travels with Indigenous hunters in Alaska, Nunavut, and the Northwest Territories. He tracks dwindling caribou herds across the top of North America, searches for vanished Vikings in Greenland, and visits the front line of the new Cold War rising between Russia and Europe. What Shea finds is not one Arctic but many—all still linked by shattering cold, seasons of darkness, and a pure, inimitable light. 
Frostlines illuminates: 
  
How Greenland’s history has led to Trump’s interest in [or obsession with] the country todayHow Russia is using the Arctic as a testing ground for geopolitical confrontationsWhy oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge will further threaten Indigenous people and animalsWhy increased ship traffic in the Northwest Passage has profound consequences for the Inuit and global politics  
Written with masterful prose and a spark of adventure, Frostlines is an expansive yet intimate revelation of the Arctic during a time of transformation, and a journey along the threshold of a stunning and sometimes frightening world that’s emerging right before our eyes.

Lay Me in God's Good Earth - A...

Kent Burreson, Beth Hoeltke

ECPA Top Shelf Book Cover Award
A Christian case for natural burial
The promises of the Christian gospel are never more precious or more beautiful than in the context of death and burial. And yet current burial practices in Western society are archaic and impersonal. They fail to confront us with the reality of death, and they make it harder to process death or to grieve properly.
Kent Burreson and Beth Hoeltke have been teaching a Christian understanding of death and natural burial for many years. They argue that natural burial—laying the body into the earth in a way that allows it to decompose naturally—is not only better for the environment but is also a more accurate picture of Christian hope of the resurrection. Grounded in sound Christian teaching about death and burial, they advocate for natural burial and offer practical instructions for navigating the complex questions around burial practices.
Lay Me in God's Good Earth is not only an immensely practical guide to natural burial; it is also an application of the hope of the resurrection to those grieving the loss of their loved ones.
