Memoir
Trace: Memory, History, Race, and the American Landscape
Lauret Savoy
A geologist's reckoning with the American landscape through the lens of race — how the land was taken, who was erased, and what the rocks remember. Savoy brings scientific training and personal history to terrain that most nature writing ignores.
