Bernd Heinrich; PBS Newshour - link
He lives alone in a cabin, or camp, as it's called in Maine, he built 10 years ago
In his science, Heinrich says, he looks first for patterns in nature and then for the differences, the anomalies that offer a way in.
Anomaly means that there should be some reason for it.
A reason why something's not going to pattern?
(in the video at this point, he's look at full leaves vs. insect-chewed leaves).
Yes, if you only see one pattern, you can't even think about it. It just is. But when you see a different one, then you can ask why.
He also wrote "Trees in My Forest," which I read years ago.
