About Creature Needs. . .Creature Needs is a polyvocal call to arms about animal extinction and habitat loss that harnesses the power of literature and scientific research to move us, and stir our hearts and minds, toward action and change. A collection of new literary works by prominent writers paired with excerpts from recent scientific articles that inspired and informed them, this innovative anthology engages the collaborative, cross-disciplinary spirit and energy that is necessary to address the impact of humans on all other animals on our planet. Divided into six sections representing the basic needs for survival—air, food, water, shelter, room to move, and each other—the stories and poems in Creature Needs vividly portray how these essential conditions are under assault through climate change, habitat loss, plastic and industrial pollution, and human intervention in natural landscapes. As the dominant species on Earth, humans not only control access to survival resources but we also overconsume and harm them. Rather than surrender to despair, the writers here believe that we have the power, if we choose, to change course and protect these resources. A collaboration with the nonprofit organization Creature Conserve, Creature Needs is a path-setting fusion of literary art and scientific research that deepens our understanding of the interdependence between life and habitat, illuminating the stark choices we face to conserve resources and ensure that the basic needs of all species are met.

놀라운 해산물과 재미있는 분위기! 샌프란시스코를 생각나게 합니다. 가장 좋았던 부분은 버스커들을 보는 것이었습니다! 나는 Dr. Feel good by Motley Cr&uuml;에게 드럼을 연주 한 여성을 만났고 굉장했습니다! 맛있는 훈제 연어를 사면서 해산물 맹그 중 4명과 함께 굴 슈터를 먹었습니다. 스트립을 걷다 보니 얇은 바다 소금을 은 따뜻한 초콜릿 칩 쿠키를 판매하는 곳을 만났습니다. 맛있는! 마지막으로 터키에서 운영하는 가게가 있었고 그 여성은 나에게 선물에 대한 훌륭한 조언을 줬고 내가 먹어본 최고의 바클라바를 먹었습니다.
