The following three books are great examples where authors explore how to ground our relationship with the natural world within the places in which we live.

- Ecological Identity - Becoming a Reflective Environmentalist. By Mitchell Thomashow
- Bringing the Biosphere Home -Learning to Perceive Global Environmental Change. By Mitchell Thomashow
- Braiding Sweetgrass - Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants. By Robin Kimmerer

Fiction is another way through which we can explore new relationships between people, place and other species. Here are two of my favourites.
- Multispecies Cities: Solarpunk Urban Futures, Edited by Priya Sarukkai Chabria
- Sunvault: Stories of Solarpunk and Eco-Speculation, Edited by Daniel José Older
