This engaging book by Georgia Cloepfil gives an insider look into professional women's sports at the not-quite-ultra-elite level.

Erica and I discuss the eminently readable Finding the Mother Tree. This book by Suzanne Simard describes her journey as a forest researcher and her surprising (to everyone more than herself) findings. Along the way, we talk about Suzanne's struggles with the status quo and what it takes to be a revolutionary in a deeply traditional field.
