We look forward to welcoming local author and scientist Sarah Boon who has just published "Meltdown: The Making and Breaking of a Field Scientist" ~ about her field adventures in snow and ice and the tough decision of choosing an academic career over that of a writer. She offers an unflinching look at the highs and lows of her life set against the backdrop of Arctic expeditions and a passion for nature and science.
This is a free event, Sarah will be chatting with attendees and signing copies.
*July 12th is also Duncan Days! There are many wonderful events and activities going on all around the town.
Book Review:
"Boon’s work can be compared to Rachel Carsen’s Silent Spring in its ability to channel scientific and human storytelling about our world at an extraordinary juncture of change and transformation. Boon is a writer who can observe field work like Aldo Leopold in A Sand County Almanac, convey anguish like Patricia Van Tighem in The Bear’s Embrace, and open up silences like Maria Coffey in Where the Mountain Casts Its Shadow." PearlAnn Reichwein, author of Climber's Paradise
