Book Discussion: The End of Nature (Bill McKibben)

May 11, 2017 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

The End of Nature

(Anchor Books, 1989 or Random House, 2006)

Author: Bill McKibben

So it goes. What was, will continue. That is what we expect. But has it always been this way? Is nature really this static thing surrounding our dynamic civilization? Bill McKibben calls for a philosophical shift in our relationship with nature that is more relevant than ever as we enter this more tactical stage of Climate Change. He brings these changes up close and personal to help us gain a more nuanced understanding of nature’s past, what is happening, our reactions and what lies ahead. All of this from 1989. His compelling narrative style will help us gain a deeper philosophical understanding to guide us as we grapple with our relationship with nature in the face of Climate Change.

Join us for an eye-opening discussion of this provocative and prescient classic. All are welcome! (even if you haven’t read the book)

Book is available from Firefly in Kutztown, your intrepid local book-store, or on-line
