I just want to add that, on top of being an amazing author, he's also an absolutely amazing person, and so is his wife, Ann. We met him at a book signing in Florida years ago and after a few drinks, and a long conversation finding out that we're both really into native plants, he invited us back to his house. It was WILD. He is kind and funny and genuinely invested in climate and native species. I still talk to him when I can and consider him a friend. I left his house that day with arm fulls of books (literally from his bookshelf) that he thought I'd like and lots of pictures with his cat 🤣 100/10 buy all of his books, both bc they're wonderful and bc he deserves every penny
