In her new book, Blue: In Search of Nature's Rarest Color, author Rebecca Solnit explores the many shades of blue found in the natural world, from the vibrant blue of a peacock's feathers to the ethereal blue of a distant star. Solnit argues that blue is more than just a color; it is a symbol of hope, possibility, and the interconnectedness of all things.

Solnit begins her book with a meditation on the color blue. She writes that blue is "the color of the sky and the sea, of distant mountains and deep forests. It is the color of hope and possibility, of dreams and the future." She then goes on to explore the different ways that blue is found in nature, from the blue of the ocean to the blue of the sky to the blue of a butterfly's wings.

Solnit's book is not just a scientific exploration of the color blue. It is also a personal journey, as Solnit reflects on her own experiences with the color blue. She writes about how blue has always been her favorite color, and how it has played a significant role in her life. She also writes about how blue has been used in art and culture throughout history, from the blue robes of the Virgin Mary to the blue jeans of American cowboys.

Blue: In Search of Nature's Rarest Color is a beautifully written and thought-provoking book that will appeal to anyone who loves nature, color, or art. Solnit's writing is both poetic and scientific, and she has a unique ability to make the reader see the world in a new way.
