Notă biografică
Born in Palo Alto, California, Susan Lamb moved often with her family to such far-flung places as Kodiak Island, Alaska, and Wiesbaden, Germany. After earning a B.A. in Classical Civilization at UC Santa Barbara and an M.A. in Aegean and Anatolian Prehistory at Bristol University in England, she served as a ranger-naturalist in the National Park Service for seven years. A chance assignment led to a freelance career writing interpretive natural histories for regional publishers and leading study tours in the West for the Smithsonian National Associates Program and other clients.
She now resides in Flagstaff, Arizona, with her husband, photographer Tom Bean. Here she serves as Conservation Chair for the Flagstaff Chapter of the Arizona Native Plant Society. Ms. Lamb founded the Arizona Natural History Association to foster understanding and appreciation of Arizona's national forests through non-profit bookshops and programs. Additionally, she and her husband founded Bread for the Journey of Flagstaff in 1999 to provide small grants and support to community-building endeavors across northern Arizona including the Apache, Hopi, Havasupai, Hualapai, and Navajo nations.
