Award-winning Professor Emeritus of Natural Resources and Ecology,
and Evolutionary Biology, at Arizona University, Guy McPherson has written over
a dozen books, including Going
Dark, and Extinction
Dialogs: How to Live with Death in Mind with Carolyn Baker.
He considers the science clear: we will soon have fouled our nest to the point where human survival is unlikely to impossible. What is remarkable is where he goes with that information, and how, without sugar-coating the facts, he inspires his audiences to "live with excellence," showing compassion, courage and creativity in the face of such a terrible certainty.
He will be touring California cities, including Oakland, Sacramento, Chico, Middletown, Sebastopol, Berkeley, Bolinas, San Francisco, Ojai and N. Hollywood (click on link for more detail) in May 2016, and I invite you to attend one of his talks.
In Berkeley on Saturday, May 7th, you can hear him from 1:30 - 3:30 pm at West Berkeley Public Library, 1125 University Avenue, followed by a book signing and fundraiser from 4 - 5 pm at Highwire Coffee Roasters around the corner at 2049 San Pablo Avenue, Berkeley. These events are offered free of charge but audience donations pay for his traveling and speaking expenses.
