Join Author Neil Hamilton as he discusses his new book "Through Nature’s Lens: Do We Really Love Our Land and Water" Tuesday, January 6, 6:45 pm at the Des Moines Izaak Walton League. 4343 George Flagg (Geo. Flagg & Park), Des Moines 50321. Beaverdale Books will be on hand with copies for sale & signing. What if Nature could talk to us, would we like what it has to say? What if it is already speaking to us, but we aren’t listening? These are some of the many questions addressed in his latest book, published by Ice Cube Press, exploring the history of nature and its impact on our lives. Important questions on the minds of all Iowans—water quality concerns, surprising cancer rates, increasing reliance on agricultural chemicals, and the fraught topic of climate change — are addressed. Nature is the narrator, sharing its perspectives on our actions, which are particularly timely in this age of increased political extremism and federal and state actions that harm nature. Ideas on how citizens can become nature champions are shared in this latest installment of Professor Hamilton’s nature series. Neil Hamilton is an emeritus professor of law and the former director of the Agricultural Law Center at Drake University in Des Moines. He has served for decades on a variety of non-profit boards including the Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation and Seed Savers Exchange, and is the founder of the Iowa Nature Summit. Admission to Neil's talk is FREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, with doors opening at 5, and a Baked or Fried WALLEYE and Frog Legs Dinner at 6 available for purchase.
