Dirt (book): Makes you think about dirt, something most of us never think about, in a whole new way. It’s an interesting blend of information on science, history, and agriculture; and The Mongabay Newscast (podcast): Great way to hear interesting updates on current research and issues in the conservation space, and to hear from scientists themselves about the messages they really want to convey to a broader audience about their work.
