Doors open and music begins at 6:30pm! Interviewer: Julie Trimingham Musical Guest: Simon Llewelyn Evans Spaces are limited and REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED to secure your spot so don't delay. In Of Orcas and Men, a marvelously compelling mix of cultural history, environmental reporting, and scientific research, David Neiwert explores how this extraordinary species has come to capture our imaginations—and the catastrophic environmental consequences of that appeal. Orcas are one of Earth's most intelligent animals. Benign and gentle, with their own languages and cultures, orcas' amazing capacity for long-term memory and, arguably, compassion, makes the ugly story of the captive-orca industry especially damning. In the tradition of Barry Lopez's classic Of Wolves and Men, David Neiwert's book is a powerful tribute to one of the animal kingdom's most remarkable members. "Powerful and beautifully written." —Jane Goodall David Neiwert is an investigative journalist based in Seattle.
