Event Description: Do you love to read? Love nature? Then you'll love Griffin's "Read Your Way Through Earth Month" event. Joan shares her carefully curated list of thirty nature-centered books, one for each day of April. An eclectic list--with books from across many genres and something for every reader--is designed to inspire you to explore and preserve the beautiful, yet fragile, world we live in.
The books range from the classic Silent Spring by Rachel Carson, the revolutionary book from 1962 that launched the Environmental Movement, to memoirs about hiking and personal experiences in the wilderness, like Griffin's best-selling memoir Force of Nature and Bill Bryson's A Walk in the Woods. From the emerging climate fiction genre favorite, The Ministry For the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson to John O'Donohue's thoughtful Beauty, each book fills a niche in a rainbow of genres, authors, and relevant issues for an Earth Month celebration. Joan will introduce the books and authors with a dynamic presentation and conclude with a fun book game and prizes.
