Elizabeth Kolbert, author of the very well received series on global warming/climate change in the New Yorker, followed by her book Field Notes from a Catastrophe, will be speaking at the Lensic Wednesday evening, May 7.
If you can't hear her directly on Wednesday, her presentation will apparently be broadcast on KSFR or KUNM (check) on Saturday, May 10. (The Lensic didn't know the time or which station.)
Review notes for Kolbert's
Field Notes from a Catastrophe:
"The hard, cold, sobering facts about global warming and its effects on the environment that sustains us. Her book is nothing less that a
Silent Spring for our time."
"Reporters talk about the 'trial of the decade' or the 'storm of the century.' But for the planet we live on, the changes now unfolding are of a kind and scale that have not been seen in thousands of years – not since the retreat of the last ice age. Elizabeth Kolbert gives us a clear, succinct, and invaluable report from the front.
"In this riveting view of the apocalypse already upon us, Kolbert mesmerizes with her poetic cadence."
"If you know of anyone who still does not understand the reality and scale of global warming, you will want to give them this book."
