Prizes & New Books

Jane Hu’s story, New Wind Projects Power Local Budgets in Wyoming, published in High Country News, was selected for The Best American Science and Nature Writing of 2022. Sarah Gilman’s Keeping Watch Over Seabirds at World’s Edge, published in Hakai magazine, the same except for being an Other Notables.

Sally Adee’s new book, We Are Electric, published by Hachette Press, was glowed upon in a New York Times review which featured the phrase, “the long grass of some mightily weird modern research.”

Craig Child’s newest book is Tracing Time, published by Torrey House Press, about the rock art on his home Colorado Plateau.

Ben Goldfarb just published Crossings with Norton Press, about his other preoccuption, the ecology of road kill.

One advantage of writing for free for LWON is that you can write about things that have triggered books or fallen out of their research. So: Sarah’s seabirds, Sally’s bioelectricity, Craig’s rock art, Ben’s roadkill.

People of LWON or those who are LWON-adjacent populated the Other Notables pages of The Best American Science and Nature Writing of 2021: Nell Greenfield-Boyce, Rose Eveleth, Jane Hu, Emma Marris, Amy Maxmen, Melinda Wenner-Moyer, Richard Panek, Josh Sokol, and Emily Underwood. We are so proud.
