Alejandro Frid Books

Haunted by the irreversible damage humans have inflicted on nature, ecologist Alejandro Frid retreats to the wild as he grapples with despair over ecological collapse. The birth of his daughter, Twyla Bella, ignites a struggle within him about bringing a child into a seemingly doomed world. This narrative explores his journey toward finding hope, blending scientific insights, indigenous perspectives, and parental reflections. It challenges readers to consider their own impact on the planet and their role in its preservation.

In Changing Tides, Alejandro Frid, an ecologist working with Indigenous people, argues that a merger of scientific perspectives and Indigenous knowledge might just help us change the story we tell ourselves of who we are - of who we can be - and steer us towards a more benign Anthropocene.
