She kindly gave Elliott Bay readers a memorably wonderful zoom program for the hardcover\, and is now down for this special Saturday afternoon with the paperback newly out.  \n \n“Simard has spent decades with her hands in the soil\, designing experiments and piecing together the remarkable mysteries of forest ecology . . . elegantly detailed . . . deeply personal . . . A testament to Simard’s skill as a science communicator. Her research is clearly defined\, the steps of her experiments articulated\, her astonishing results explained and the implications laid bare: We ignore the complexity of forests at our peril.”—The New York Times. “Finding the Mother Tree reminds us that the world is a web of stories\, connecting us to one another. Her vivid manuscript carries the stories of trees\, fungi\, soil and bears–and of a human being listening in on the conversation. The interplay of personal narrative\, scientific insights and the amazing revelations about the life of the forest make a compelling story. Dr. Simard’s journey as a scientist embodies the power of curiosity coupled to commitment to listen to the natural world and the courage to share what she has learned\, against the resistance of scientific establishment. I have great admiration for her science and her storytelling alike. These are stories that the world needs to hear.”—Robin Wall Kimmerer. \n  \nPurchase Finding the Mother Tree from our bookseller partners\, Elliott Bay Book Company. \n  \nCo-presented by Elliott Bay Book Company and Hugo House.  URL:https://hugohouse.org/event/_2022-06-11/ LOCATION:1634 11th Ave.\, Seattle\, WA\, 98112\, United States CATEGORIES:Reading,Community Event END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
