SUMMARY:Biosphere Book Club - Is a River Alive? by Robert Macfarlane
DESCRIPTION:The Biosphere Book Group is an experiment!  \nJoin us to read authors who reflect on climate vis-à-vis the health of human and ecological communities. \n  \nOur first author is Robert Macfarlane who has received acclaim for his 2025 book\, Is a River Alive? \nWe know that folks have many demands on their time. As much as we would like to read on a regular basis\, this goal is often difficult. So\, the Biosphere Book Group will be “text-based\,” that is\, each session leader will read the book\, pull out key quotes\, and plan questions or reflections that can involve all the participants\, whether they have read the book or not. Of course\, if you have time to tackle the book\, that enriches the experience for you! But reading the book before our meeting session is not required. The session page of quotes and questions\, along with the zoom link\, will go out to registered participants the Friday before each session. \nOur first session will be online\, but perhaps we might meet in person at times\, depending on our participants. The idea is to explore a different book every 2 months\, for 6 sessions per year. \nThe true goal is to foster discussion about our extraordinary\, yet endangered biosphere. What are researchers\, scientists\, journalists\, and authors saying about the natural world? Can clean energy advances\, government policy\, and life style choices make a difference? What are we ourselves noticing and thinking? What gives us joy? What leaves us deeply concerned? Can we create a sense of community\, however humble\, that gives us strength? Can that sense of community help us to make a concrete difference? Big questions aside\, pour yourself a cup of tea or other beverage\, have a good time\, and celebrate the written word!
