UPCOMING MEETINGS
FEBRUARY 5
Our Moon: How Earth’s Celestial Companion Transformed the Planet, Guided Evolution and Made Us Who We Are by Rebecca Boyle
Far from being a lifeless ornament in the sky, the Moon holds the answers to some of science’s central questions. Silent, dry, and barren, Earth’s 4.34-billion-year-old companion is essential to life on earth. Who gets to decide how we use a celestial body that, Boyle argues, belongs to everyone and no one? How can we learn to protect this beautiful, spectral thing that we all share?
MARCH 5
The Light Eaters: How the Unseen World of Plant Intelligence Offers a New Understanding of Life on Earth by Zoë Schlanger
A book exploring the emerging science on plant intelligence, uncovering plants’ complex and unimaginable capabilities and calling into question what we consider to be conscious agents in the natural world.
