Reseña del libro "Swimming with Turtles: How Wonder Reconnects Us to the Natural World (en Inglés)"

A memoir of discovery, loss, and wonder that shows us how to slow down When psychologist and author Susan Baur first slipped into a Cape Cod pond with a snorkel, she wasn't looking for transformation, just a swim. But beneath the surface, she discovered something extraordinary: minnows hiding in water lilies; fresh-water jellies like jewels and--most striking of all--painted, musk, and snapping turtles. Whether the turtles were buried in mud, teetering on a submerged branch, or drifting like ancient astronauts, they pulled her into a mysterious happiness she could not explain. Learning to move slowly enough to see them became both her new discipline and her greatest joy. Each dive required patience, curiosity, and humility, and she learned to read the water, follow a subtle shadow, and anticipate the turtles' rhythms without disturbing their world. As she mastered the art of swimming with turtles, Baur also fell in love with an older man whose companionship deepened her connection to the natural world. When he passed away, grief drove her deeper into the water. There, among the turtles, she found solace and purpose: a reason to keep diving, looking, and learning. Over nearly two decades, Baur became a self-taught naturalist, children's author (of The Turtle Sisters series), and unlikely environmental advocate, founding Old Ladies Against Underwater Garbage to protect the ponds she had grown to love. With humor, heart, and vivid observation, Baur shows that wonder isn't reserved for the young or the lucky--it waits beneath the surface for anyone willing to slow down, look closely, and stay a while.
