Squirrels on Earth and Stars Above is the first published collection of the writings and lectures of the late maniacal naturalist, Peter Warshall (1943-2013). A generalist ecologist with a special enthusiasm for natural history, ornithology, and hydrology, Warshall influenced a generation of countercultural field biologists, poets, and activists. He was an editor for the Whole Earth Review and CoEvolution Quarterly, an ecosystem designer for Biosphere 2, a lecturer at the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics, and an elected member of the Bolinas Community Public Utility District. Assembled from his personal archive, this book showcases his innovative thinking on science, poetics, environmental citizenship, and the relationship between our species and the living planet.

Edited by Parker Hatley in collaboration with Gregor Huber, Noha Mokhtar, Harris Bauer, and Diana Hadley. -Publisher
