Her quest drew her to a landscape unlike any other: the Driftless area of Wisconsin, a region untouched by glaciers, marked by steep hills and deeply carved valleys, capped with forests and laced with cold, spring-fed streams. There, she confronted, in ways large and small, the challenges of meeting basic needs while facing the ravages of climate change--an experience at once soul-stirring and practical that she recounts in \u003ci\u003eShelter and Storm\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Dean's boundless curiosity and gift for storytelling imbue these essays with urgency and a sense of adventure. She invites readers to share in her discoveries while hunting for water, learning that a persistent weed could be food, or burning a hayfield to recreate a prairie. Contending with the fallout of fires, floods, and tornadoes, she offers responses to natural disasters that reflect the importance of community, now and for generations to come. Whether tracking down a rare, blue-glowing firefly, engineering a beaver-friendly waterway to appease a dying neighbor, or building a house of earthen blocks, Dean unites personal experience with science and history, presenting a perspective as informative as it is compelling. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Keenly attentive to the stakes for our planet's future--and the implications of extreme weather, shifting agricultural practices, and political divides--\u003ci\u003eShelter and Storm \u003c\/i\u003eilluminates a thoughtful way forward for anyone concerned about climate change and its far-reaching consequences or for anyone searching, as Dean has, for a more sustainable way to live. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRetail e-book files for this title are screen-reader friendly.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Tamara Dean has been camping, fishing, hiking, and gathering wild foods from an early age, led and inspired by her parents.
