Author Event " Becoming Wild" with Carl Safina
Wednesday, July 7, 7:00pm. Registration required for link.
New York Times bestselling author Carl Safina brings readers close to three non-human cultures – what they do, why they do it, and how life is for them in his most recent book, Becoming Wild; How Animal Cultures Raise Families, Create Beauty, and Achieve Peace.
Becoming Wild offers a glimpse into cultures among non-human animals through looks at the lives of individuals in different present-day animal societies. By showing how others teach and learn, Safina offers a fresh understanding of what is constantly going on beyond humanity. With reporting from deep in nature, alongside individual creatures in their free-living communities, this book offers a very privileged glimpse behind the curtain of life on Earth, and helps inform the answer to that most urgent of questions: Who are we here with?
His lyrical non-fiction writing explores how humans are changing the living world, and what the changes mean for non-human beings and for us all. His work fuses scientific understanding, emotional connection, and a moral call to action.
Audubon magazine named Carl Safina among it “100 Notable Conservationists of the 20th Century.” Utne Reader listed him among “25 Visionaries Changing the World.”
