Review of 'Crow planet' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Haupt uses crows as her basis to contemplate our responsibility to belong in nature, and how it ties with environmental degradation.
Crows, while a symptom of humanity's exertions against nature—their numbers so large due to thriving in the degradation we cause—are also nature's refusal to be won. A constant reminder that we are ultimately a part of nature, that we are "in" it as much as we try to be apart from it.
It is interesting as a philosophical look at how we place ourselves in the world. But it isn't as much a book on crows, which I thought it was.
