Come to a lecture about one of our heros, everythingist ecologist Peter Warshall, presented by our friend Parker Hatley at our private studio/ greenhouse in Los Angeles!Peter Warshall (1940-2013) was an interdisciplinary ecologist, essayist, and self-described “maniacal naturalist.” Trained as a biological anthropologist, Warshall was the natural-systems editor for the Whole Earth Catalog and was the editor for Whole Earth Review for a decade. Experienced in resource management, conservation biology, and biodiversity, he was an expert on topics as varied as the ecology of septic systems, the Mount Graham red squirrel, Sky Island ecosystems, pollination ecology, ornithology, hydrology, pedology, and the evolution of the planet’s visual and vocal ecologies. Together with his wife, the historian Diana Hadley, he helped found the Northern Jaguar Project, a 56,000-acre reserve in the US-Mexico borderlands protecting the critical habitat of the northern jaguar and other threatened flora and fauna. He taught ecopoetics at the Jack Kerouac School for Disembodied Poetics at Naropa University, worked as a natural history guide all over the world, and published dozens of essays and articles about ecology, conservation and development, natural resources, and related subjects. At the time of his passing, Warshall was at work on two book projects, one on the evolution of color and the other on global environmental history. Squirrels on Earth and Stars Above is the first published compilation of his writing. Parker Hatley is a Ph.D. candidate in Anthropology and Critical Media Practice at Harvard University and the editor of Peter Warshall: Squirrels on Earth and Stars Above, forthcoming from Edition HS (Zurich, Switzerland) in Spring 2023. -*Complimentary drinks by Madre Mezcal
