I just heard about a rare one in Wisconsin - someone I know knows someone that has land that includes original prairie and there is an almost extinct plant on that property. The local University has been studying the land for years, but a grad student stole seeds from this plant multiple years in a row and sold them - the landowner shut down access to the University, ending a 20 year study by a tenured prof.

   > It is my firm belief that any of the authors listed below (unless they’re dicks) would not want anyone to be prohibited from reading their work <links to book sharing websites follows> 
Hot take - any book authors who want to chime in and share what you guys feel about a statement like that?

I'm an author, and don't have any problem with it - however my book is obsolete as it's computer related.

My publisher probably feels differently. :)

The ones listed? You might want to get in contact with them because they are unlikely to be reading this thread

Neither I, nor any author I know has published something with the intention of it going unread. Publishing something just to ne upset that it's being read seems rather dickish to me... The very act of publishing is a declaration of desire for others to read it.

The title is misleading. There was nothing in the article comparing/contrasting/linking botany and crime.

I'm aware of this guy but the presentation is a bit full on for me. My buddy who is in to botany says apparently his podcasts are really good: https://open.spotify.com/show/2zJDjluBz6qVCGrF1I8JhP

I listened to his book, Concrete Botany[1], while doing my gardening last month. I really enjoyed it even as a long time watcher of his YouTube channel. I don't know if I could have read it because it does seem to drag on a bit but it was worth it for his narration.

one of my favorite youtubers but I feel like if you're linking directly to a reading list the title of your post should reflect that
