Thank you!** One of NPR’s “Books We Love” for 2025 A Scientific American Staff Favorite for 2025 Join us for a revelatory journey through four moments in Earth’s deep past, and their lessons for our future. The epic stories of our planet’s 4.54-billion-year history are written in strata–ages-old remnants of ancient seafloors, desert dunes, and riverbeds striping landscapes around the world. Copies of Strata will be for sale at the event from Hello Hello Books, with opportunity to get your book signed! In this original debut work, science writer Laura Poppick decodes strata to lead us on a journey through four global transformations that made our lives on Earth possible: the first accumulations of oxygen in the atmosphere; the deep freezes of “Snowball Earth”; the rise of mud on land and accompanying proliferation of plants; and the dinosaurs’ reign on a hothouse planet. Ultimately, she demonstrates that the planet’s oceans, continents, atmosphere, life, and ice have always conspired to bring stability to Earth, even if we are only just beginning to understand how these different facets interact. Laura Poppick is a science and environmental journalist whose writing has appeared in the New York Times, Smithsonian, Scientific American, Wired, Audubon, National Geographic, Science, and elsewhere. She has been listed as a finalist for the National Association of Science Writers Science in Society Journalism Award and the Maine Literary Awards Short Works Competition in Nonfiction, among others. She lives in Portland, Maine. MID-COAST AUDUBON, SERVING THE MAINE COUNTIES OF KNOX, LINCOLN, AND WALDO Mid-Coast Audubon is a chapter of Audubon, and affiliated with Maine Audubon.
