Jessica Lee Book order (chronological)

A poetic and intimate essay collection on the lives of plants and their entanglement with our human worlds A seed slips beyond a garden wall. A seaweed drifts through an ocean. A tree is planted on a shifting border. A shrub is uprooted from its culture and its land. What happens when these plants leave their original homes and put down roots elsewhere? Born in Canada to a Taiwanese mother and a Welsh father, steeped in both literary and scientific traditions, Jessica J. Lee is a perfectly placed observer of our world in motion. In this vibrant book of linked essays she explores the entanglements of the plant and human worlds, and the echoes and counterpoints she detects in the migration of plants and people - and the language we use to describe them. Each of the plants considered in this collection are somehow perceived as being "out of place"- whether weeds, samples collected through imperial science, or crops introduced and transformed by our hand. Combining memoir, history, and scientific research in precise and poetic prose, Jessica J. Lee meditates on the question of how both plants and people come to belong - or not - as they border cross, and reveals how all our futures are more entwined than we might imagine.

The water slips over me like cool silk, rising around my legs, over my waist, up to my collarbone. When I relax, the lake's sound is a muffled roar, every vibration amplified by water. Jessica Lee, a Canadian of Chinese and British descent, swims year-round, especially loving the winter's sharp, freezing water. At twenty-eight, feeling lonely in Berlin while working on her thesis, she decides to swim fifty-two lakes around the city, regardless of the weather. This journey becomes a beautiful obsession, leading her to confront her past fears of near drowning and the ghosts of the landscape. Each swim brings new experiences: the thrill of a turquoise lake, cracking ice, floating under blue skies, and navigating murky depths. Through this year of swimming, Jessica gains strength, finds friendship, and discovers how the landscape can haunt yet also hold us. This narrative resonates with anyone who loves swimming, seeks to push beyond caution, and understands the profound joy of surrendering to the water, allowing the body to float home to the surface.

How could something we have for free—our bare feet—be better for running than $150 shoes? The truth is that running in shoes is high-impact, unstable, and inflexible. Shoes promote a heel-centric ground strike, which weakens your feet, knees, and hips, and leads to common running injuries. In contrast, barefoot running is low-impact, forefoot-centric, stable, and beneficial to your body. It encourages proper form and strengthens your feet in miraculous ways. When you run in shoes, you not only risk developing poor form, but you also hinder the natural relationship with the ground that running facilitates. Barefoot running restores the delightful sensory and spiritual connections to the earth that you were meant to experience. Barefoot Running offers the only step-by-step direction runners need at any age to overcome injuries, run faster than ever, and rediscover the pure joy of running. Once you tear off your shoes and learn to dance with nature, you’ll tread lightly and freely, hearing only the earth’s symphony and feeling only the dirt beneath your feet. Hit the ground running with revolutionary techniques for starting out slowly, choosing minimalist footwear, navigating rough weather and rugged terrain, and building your feet into living shoes.
