The natural world of Southeast Tennessee is full of biodiversity.
You can see it, smell it and hear it.

He is a professor of biology and environmental studies at the University of the South in Sewanee.
His latest book is titled: “Sounds Wild and Broken: Sonic Marvels, Evolution’s Creativity and the Crisis of Sensory Extinction,” published by Viking Press.
