Crossings: How Road Ecology is Shaping the Future of Our Planet, by Ben Goldfarb Crossings, the latest book from Ben Goldfarb, environmental journalist and award-wining author of Eager (Beaver), is an eye-opening and witty account of the global ecological transformations wrought by roads. Some 40 million miles of roadways encircle the earth, yet we tend to regard them only as infrastructure for human convenience. Goldfarb travels throughout the U.S. and around the world to investigate how roads have transformed our planet. A million animals are killed by cars each day in the U.S. alone, but as the new science of road ecology shows, the harms of highways extend far beyond roads. Sponsored by the Santa Barbara Permaculture Network and the San Luis Obispo Beaver Brigage.
