Bearing Witness to Change and Compassion:
chronicler of the quiet truths unfolding in our backyards and homes. Through a series of deeply personal and environmentally conscious books, Buse has created a literary legacy that blends natural history, emotional resilience, and urgent reflection. His most recent work, Trends Due to Climate Change: A Witness to the Vanishing Seasons , is a stunning archive of fifty years of handwritten observations from his Pennsylvania backyard. What began in the 1980s as a modest nature log—tracking daffodil blooms, bird migrations, and frost dates— evolved into one of the most intimate records of climate change in suburban America. With no scientific instruments beyond a pen and calendar, Buse documents the subtle but undeniable shifts in seasonal rhythms, offering readers a visceral understanding of environmental transformation.
