Did you miss the lively discussion on the World's Most Misunderstood Bird? Watch it here. In this first book discussion of the 2022-2023 series, host Drina Nemes led a conversation about Thor Hanson's research on climate change. Host Drina Nemes closed the 2021-2022 WCAS Book Club season with a timely discussion of The Feather Thief by Kirk Wallace Johnson. Host Drina Nemes leads us in quarterly discussions to explore the stories and exciting explorations of the world and conservators of birds! During the program on January 25, 2022, book club participants came together to discuss Silent Spring by Rachel Carson. Drina provided background information regarding this heavily influential book, guided participants in meaningful discussion, and shared a personal e-mail response from Sandra Steingraber, ecologist and writer who edited the Library of America version and penned the introduction. Watch new book discussion host Drina Nemes as she interviews author Katie Fallon about her new book, Cerulean Blues: A Personal Search for a Vanishing Songbird. Carrie Green's book of poetry Studies of Familiar Birds is partially based on the plates from Illustrations of the Nests and Eggs of Birds of Ohio by Genevieve Estelle Jones. Joy Kiser's book, America's Other Audubon republishes all of the plates that originally appeared in that nineteenth-century book. Watch the poetry reading, interview, and discussion!
