You are invited to join the second meeting of the STAY COOL Book Club on Thursday, July 14 from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm. This meeting will be hosted virtually on Zoom. This time we are featuring the book Beloved Beasts: Fighting for Life in an Age of Extinction by Michelle Nijhuis. Join Zoom Meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82938975935

 

This is a vibrant history of the modern conservation movement through the lives and ideas of the people who built it. In the late nineteenth century, as humans came to realize that our rapidly industrializing and globalizing societies were driving other animal species to extinction, a movement to protect and conserve them was born. In Beloved Beasts, acclaimed science writer and editor Michelle Nijhuis traces the movement’s history: from early battles to save charismatic species to today’s global effort to defend life on a larger scale.
