These gripping stories contain a level of intimacy and detail not usually encountered in other styles of natural history writing.
Praise for the first collection of stories
Stephen Daubert's “Threads from the Web of Life” is written in the tradition of Aldo Leopold and Bernd Heinrich. It teaches by drawing you into the drama, excitement, and beauty of nature.
--Don Glass, host of the NPR-syndicated program "A Moment of Science"
“Threads from the Web of Life” is a uniquely wide-ranging combination of scientific research and literary imagination that takes the reader on journeys through time and space that even the most elaborate television programs still can’t provide. Stephen Daubert’s grasp of a variety of botanical, zoological, geological, and climatological disciplines is impressive, and he presents them and their interactions with grace and authority.
--David Rains Wallace, author of “The Klamath Knot, The Monkey’s Bridge,” and “Beasts of Eden”
Each of these happenings is a thread in the intricate web of life, and Daubert, a molecular scientist at the University of California, Davis, demonstrates that these threads are easily broken by humans. ... Instructive and entertaining. --”Publishers Weekly”
“Threads from the Web of Life” takes readers on a journey around the globe as the author describes unique and unusual ecological processes. It is ideal for casual reading as well as a source of selections to read aloud (!) or to link literature with the study of natural history.
--”NSTA Recommends”, National Science Teachers Association
Highly recommended. ... The stories are as much enjoyable as they are informative.
--”Science Books& Films”
In these sixteen stories of the interplay of organisms, weather, and geophysics, many a being succumbs to predation, and many another endures. Evolution happens as species learn the hard way. There is often a tragic element in these fascinating tales. . . . These vivid, poetic tales . . . afford good teaching. “Threads from the Web of Life” will appeal to any reader whose heart is in the living world.
