Naturalist-poet Charles Hood returns to Kepler’s with Acorns In a Nutshell, his reflections on oak trees’ “dark pearls.”About this EventFREE COMMUNITY EVENTNaturalist-poet Charles Hood returns to Kepler’s with Acorns In a Nutshell, his reflections on oak trees’ “dark pearls” with many charming tangents on the bugs, birds, bears, and botany buffs who love them. Charles’ presentations are far-ranging, wild in nature, and are not to be missed!About Acorns In a NutshellAcorns are the oak seeds whose abundance feeds bears, boars, birds, beetles, and human beings. Some acorns are the size of cupcakes, while some are the size of a pencil tip; still others fuel jays’ brainy prowess in the animal kingdom, and some feed humans (once you leech out the tannins).Lively and engaging, dense in factoids yet airy and light in spirit, this book celebrates the acorn’s role in forest ecology and human history, sharing many fascinating stories of adaptation, endurance, and epic survival. Acorns: small but mighty and always newsworthy.The Studies in Nature series offers close observations, passionate research, and natural obsessions on a variety of nature-related topics. Featuring illustrations by Stacy Hsu and black and white photography, they offer big ideas in a small, giftable, and collectible package.ACCESSIBILITY: We never want cost to be a barrier to admission for our community.
