Chasing Spring: An American Journey Through a Changing Season by Bruce Stutz –
Part science, part travelogue, Chasing Spring follows Bruce Stutz's journey across America to "see spring in various phases." What he discovers on his trip is both fascinating and disturbing: climate change is causing spring to arrive earlier, resulting in altered migration patterns for animals, glaciers that melt more quickly and unbalanced relationships between plants and pollinators. In the end, Stutz's book is both a personal and scientific appreciation of spring, and a warning about our planet's future.
