Upcoming Books @ Butler:
Views and Reviews• What the World is Coming To: Washington Post review of The Dominant Animal |
The Eastern New York Chapter’s Books @ Butler series brings together leading environmental authors, local conservation staff experts, and information on conservation conscious choices.
The program is a wonderful way to discover new books, talk to authors about their work, and meet other conservation-minded community members. The series focuses on the voices and ideas that are shaping the environmental and ecological policies and practices of our daily lives.
Through Eastern New York’s partnership with Island Press, a Washington D.C.-based not-for-profit publisher, we have hosted innovative authors specializing in topics such as biodiversity, land use, forest management, agriculture, marine science, climate change, and sustainable energy.
We invite you to join us for upcoming Books @ Butler events. We promise that you will be impressed with the fine caliber of our featured authors and inspired by the timeliness of their topics.
Featured authors in the 2007 series included: Callum Roberts, internationally recognized marine researcher and author of The Unnatural History of the Seas; David Wilcove, author of No Way Home: The Decline of the World’s Great Animal Migrations; and Ann Vileisis, author of Kitchen Literacy: How We Lost Knowledge of Where Food Comes from and Why We Need to Get it Back.
