Episode 165: Priyanka Kumar - The Light Between The Apple Trees

Priyanka Kumar is a prolific and widely published writer who has authored over a hundred essays and reviews on subjects including the high desert and bird migration. Her latest book The Light Between The Apple Trees brilliantly weaves together science and childhood memories with the apple’s storied history. On this episode of Nature Revisited, Kumar invites us on a transformative journey to rediscover apples. Today we rarely encounter more than a handful of varieties, yet sixteen thousand apple varieties were once celebrated in America, their mature and wild orchards acting as havens for creatures from hummingbirds to bears and a living connection to generations past. Join us as Kumar unearths a rich and complex history of apples while illuminating how we can reimagine our relationship with nature. https://priyankakumar.com/ The Light Between The Apple Trees book: https://www.amazon.com/Light-Between-Apple-Trees-Rediscovering/dp/1642833630#desc Listen to Nature Revisited on your favorite podcast apps, on YouTube, or at https://noordenproductions.com Subscribe on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/bdz4s9d7 Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/5n7yx28t Subscribe on Youtube Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/bddd55v9 Podlink: https://pod.link/1456657951 Support Nature Revisited https://noordenproductions.com/support Nature Revisited is produced by Stefan van Norden and Charles Geoghegan.
