Description

On this richly illustrated love letter to the wild places and natural wonders of North Carolina, Tom Earnhardt, author and host of UNC-TV’s Exploring North Carolina and lifelong conservationist, seamlessly ties deep geological time and forgotten species from our distant past to the unparalleled biodiversity of lately. With varied topography and a climate that may be concurrently subtropical, temperate, and subarctic, he shows that North Carolina is a meeting place for living things more recurrently found far to the north and south. Highlighting the ways wherein the state is a unique ecological crossroads, Earnhardt’s research, insightful writing, and stunning photography will both teach and inspire.
Crossroads of the Natural World invites readers to engage numerous topics, including the impacts of invasive species, the importance of forested buffers along our rivers, the role of naturalists, and the challenges facing the state in a time of climate change and sea-level upward push. By sharing his own journey of more than sixty years, Earnhardt entices North Carolinians of all ages to explore the natural diversity of our state.
