Wednesday, July 9 at 7:30 p.m.

Working in conjunction with a noteworthy array of written contributors—Nick Jans, Richard Nelson, Daniel Glick, Charles Wohlforth, Frances Beinecke, and Theodore Roosevelt IV—photographer Steve Kazlowski has documented the increasingly harrowing world faced by polar bears. The Last Polar Bear: Facing the Truth of a Warming World (Braided River/The Mountaineers) is a beautiful, eloquent, and urgent depiction of a tragedy in the making. "As one turns the pages of this beautiful book, it becomes clear that Steven Kozlowski must have fallen in love with the North. Eight years of dedication, combined with passion, technical mastery, and financial and physical hardship have produced this magnificent portfolio that is a visual testimony to a region, its life, and the effects of global warming. At the same time, it is also a call to action: as a society, we must first imagine—and then create—a fossil fuel-free future that is just and sustainable for all life on earth." - Subhankar Banerjee.
