Black Holes, Beakers, and Books: A Popular Science Book Club - The World is Blue: How Our Fate and the Ocean's Are One

Sunday, April 18, 2010  
3:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Are you interested in exploring the vast mysteries of the cosmos, understanding human evolutionary history, or talking about the long-term future of the planet earth? These topics and more will be discussed in Black Holes, Beakers, and Books, a popular science book club that reads and discusses popular science books published within the last five years.

The World is Blue: How Our Fate and the Ocean's Are One by Sylvia A. Earle – Described by some as "a Silent Spring for our era," The World is Blue is Sylvia Earle's depiction of Earth's oceans in crisis, as overfishing, pollution, and climate change drive species into extinction and throw off the delicate balance of the entire planet's ecosystem. Like Rachel Carson before her, Earle calls for an impassioned response to this environmental crisis before it spirals out of control.
