Host Drina Nemes closed the 2021-2022 WCAS Book Club season with a timely discussion of The Feather Thief by Kirk Wallace Johnson.

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.
