Local Author Explores Human-Animal Connections in New Book
“Entwined” Prompts Empathy for Wildlife
Santa Cruz author **Bridget A. Lyons** is set to release her new book, “Entwined: Dispatches from the Intersection of Species,” this Thursday. The work delves into the planet’s diverse inhabitants, from mountain peaks to ocean depths.
A Global Journey Through Nature
Lyons, a seasoned wilderness guide and explorer, offers readers a global perspective in her book. Through 14 essays, she transports readers to locations like Alaska, Greece, Honduras, and local Santa Cruz beaches. Her writing beautifully merges memoir, scientific observation, and travelogue.
Bridget A. Lyons stated, Every single species on this planet exhibits an array of amazing talents, unusual habits, fascinating skills, and ingenious adaptations that enable them to thrive in their surroundings.
The book also probes humanity’s role in the natural world, questioning the unintended consequences of conservation efforts and the essence of respecting all life forms.
