@JasonDewees @moorehn Beautiful photos in your book. Ferns are not palms but you may enjoy this book. I listened to it in one of my last drives from DC to Chicago for the Oaxaca angle. https://t.co/9CIPfU4ahE (from X)

Oaxaca Journal (National Geographic Directions) book cover

Oliver Sacks(you?)

The best-selling author of Awakenings and The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, Oliver Sacks is well know as an explorer of the human mind―a neurologist with a gift for complex, insightful portrayals of people and their conditions. However, he is also a card-carrying member of the American Fern Society, and since childhood has been fascinated by these primitive plants and their ability to survive and adapt in many climates. Oaxaca Journal is Sacks's spellbinding account of his trip with a group of fellow fern enthusiasts to the beautiful, history-steeped province of Oaxaca, Mexico. Bringing together Sacks's passion for natural history and the richness of human culture with his sharp eye for detail, Oaxaca Journal is a captivating evocation of a place, its plants, its people, and its myriad wonders.
