Opening the first box.... always a thrill

Tom Fleischner @tomfleischner.bsky.social · 01/05/2026

Very excited that ASTONISHED BY BEAUTY: A FIELD GUIDE TO THE PRACTICE OF PAYING ATTENTION will be out in less than two weeks. I'll be offering a number of readings and lectures over the next several months. Would love to see you along the way! I'll be adding other locations and dates. Please share.

Between 800 and 900 people, of all ages, showed up in Prescott, Arizona this afternoon to protest ICE and the immoral regime behind it

Always a thrill to get the first glimpse..... Just received the proof of my next book from Torrey House Press. The real thing comes out mid-May. I'll be posting updates, reviews, and info on events in upcoming days.

With less than 24 hours notice, more than 400 people turned out to insist on ICE OUT yesterday in Prescott, AZ. For context, this town is historically so red that there wasn't even a Democratic party when I moved here in the late 80s. That's me, by the way, holding the two signs in the foreground.)

700 people showed up, on very short notice, in Prescott, Arizona--once an indomitable Republican stronghold (there was never even a Democratic party in this county until ~1990), but now bristling with indignation and outrage at this regime's heartless cruelty.

Honored to be profiled by the AZ Republic's excellent climate reporter, Joan Meiners, on our work on the ecological importance of the #MogollonHighlands Ecoregion, and more generally of the Natural History Institute. (Orig article is behind a paywall: links to article in first 2 comments).

I'll be helping lead this wonderful program in Ecuador this coming winter-- join me? Every time I visit Ecuador I emerge rejuvenated by the beauty of the world.

Hands Off rally in Prescott, Arizona--the biggest crowd (law enforcement estimated close to 2000) I've ever seen in 37 years here. For context, this is a deep red county, which didn't even have, and never had had, a Democratic Party when I moved here in the late 80s. Incredibly uplifting. Onward!

I was recently invited to share my thoughts on the importance of integrating sciences and humanities. My essay, "The Way of Integration," is included in this exciting new collection. (My piece is linked in the first comment)

Here at the Prescott, Arizona Courthouse Square—iconic backdrop for many Republican rallies (Goldwater and McCain both announced their presidential campaigns here)— 850 people showed up today to call for an end to our current national madness.

Bottom line: we make the case here that the #MogollonHighlands, which had never been recognized before, is actually one of the most biodiverse ecoregions in North America, and also an area with capacity for climate adaptation and resilience. (Link to paper in first comment)

A couple spots unexpectedly opened up on the ECUADOR trip I'll be co-leading this winter. It's a remarkable trip--a transect across the most biodiverse (for its size, surely) country in the world... Feel free to get in touch if you have questions. Registration info at bottom, below.....
