I hurried over to library to get Moby Duck after reading your recommendation and I absolutely loved it. Thanks!
Ashley and Elizabeth, if you like Hohn’s style as much as his subject, you might also enjoy another of my fave environmental non-fic authors, J.B. MacKinnon. His most recent title is The Day the World Stops Shopping.
I loved Long Bright River too -- it hit me hard as someone who has had a long and difficult relationship with my own sister, who has also struggled with addiction (though not to the devastating degree of the characters in the book). Not sure I can read a book about serial killers, though -- I am *not* a serial killer and true-crime obsessed person (I can't handle anything really dark at all, really) but the way you've described this makes it sound like maybe it doesn't go into hideous details? Is that right?
Thank you for the Notes on an Execution Recommendation! I never would have picked it up otherwise and I devoured it. One of the best books I've read this year! But you know you've got me hook, line and sinker when you mention Long Bright River....

The cover of Moby Duck is perfect, and it sounds so up my alley of weird / angry environmental science!
