Music

• Halcyon and Photosynteses and Embryo by H. Takehashi
• Intro by Library Tapes
• The Florist Wears Knee Breeches by M. Sage

Notes

• I found Andrew Isenberg’s book, The Destruction of the Bison, An Environmental History, completely fascinating.
• If you want to do a deep dive on Madison Grant, I’d recommend Defending the Master Race: Conservation, Eugenics, and the Legacy of Madison Grant by John Peter Spiro.
• If you want to do a deep dive on the Catalina Buffalo, this site is a fun place to start.
