Char Miller, the W.M. Keck Professor of Environmental Analysis and History at Pomona College, and geologist and outdoor adventurer Ruby McConnell will come together for this celebration of their respective books, Natural Consequences: Intimate Essays for a Planet in Peril and Ground Truth: A Geological Survey of Life. The two authors look closely at our rapidly changing planet, but use different approaches to illuminate harsh facts. McConnell's Ground Truth takes the form of a eulogy for Earth, while Miller's Natural Consequences compiles "site-specific essays" with insightful historical context for today's environmental quandaries.
