“There are more than nine hundred species of bats, a figure that represents almost a quarter of all mammal species on earth,”
Christopher Dewdney, Acquainted with the Night: Excursions Through the World After Dark

“We are tied to the sea, and its dark abyss, by blood.”
Christopher Dewdney, Acquainted with the Night: Excursions Through the World After Dark

“The six seasons in the temperate zone are hibernal (winter), prevernal (late winter, early spring), vernal (spring), aestival (summer), serotinal (late summer) and autumn. I like these nuanced divisions, particularly prevernal and serotinal, because they capture something of the magic of seasonal transitions. In the northern temperate zones, the prevernal marks the time when the sap begins to run in late February and when, in early March, a few patches of snow remain on the northern slopes of hills, but the grass is green on the southern sides. Here in North America, the serotinal season is that marvelous time, in early September, when the monarch butterflies start to migrate, the lakes are still”
Christopher Dewdney, 18 Miles: The Epic Drama of Our Atmosphere and Its Weather
