ANTHONY D. BARNOSKY at Town Hall Seattle

11/18/2009 7:30 pm

Co-presented with the TOWN HALL CENTER FOR CIVIC LIFE AND ISLAND PRESS, in association with ISLANDWOOD. The third in this Town Hall-based Island Press lecture series brings University of California, Berkeley biologist Anthony Barnosky here with his recent book, Heatstroke: Nature in an Age of Global Warming (Island Press). "This fascinating and frightening book begins where others on global warming leave off. Anthony Barnosky shows that we're not just heating up the planet, but changing its basic character. Today's familiar animals and wild places may not be here tomorrow. For anyone who has grown attached to nature as we know it, this is an essential, eye-opening read." - Paul R. Ehrlich. Island Press is a leading, independent, non-profit Washington, D.C. publisher devoted to environmental and sustainability issues (www.islandpress.com). $5 tickets are available at the door starting at 6:30 p.m. or via www.brownpapettickets.com (of 1-800-838-3006). Preferred seating for Town Hall members. Town Hall Seattle is at 1119 Eighth Avenue (at Seneca).
