We will be hosting author Bridget A. Lyons here at the shop for an event next month! On Sunday September 21st from 3 - 4:30pm, join us for a free reading, signing and conversation about the themes in her book, ‘Entwined’.A bit about the book:
What can octopuses’ nine brains teach us about climate resilience? How can great horned owls’ keen hearing illuminate relationship dynamics? Does playing with kelp cultivate respect for the value of life? What can our 8.7 million “more-than-human” neighbors teach us about life?
‘Entwined: Dispatches from the Intersection of Species’ explores these questions through a collection of sixteen original essays by Bridget A. Lyons, a wilderness guide, traveler, and explorer who has encountered countless animals and plants in their native environments.
Set in locations ranging from Alaska and California to Mexico and Honduras, Lyons’s stories are braided with careful observation, scientific research, and wonder to foster the connection between us and our nonhuman neighbors.
As readers travel through a diversity of ecosystems, they’ll navigate icebergs in Alaska while researching the nesting strategies of common eiders, witness the apparent demise of a humpback whale on the Baja Peninsula while instructing a wilderness course, observe ibex while trail running the Alps, and contemplate the mystery of the octopus from a Cretan museum. Along the way, they’ll be awed by the beauty, creativity, and intelligence of the natural world—and awakened to the reality of its shrinking biodiversity.
We hope you’ll join! If you plan on attending, please let us know by heading to the RSVP link.
