Andrew Revkin Book Talk: Weather: An Illustrated History

Andrew Revkin book talk, Weather: An Illustrated History

The engaging, illustrated book traces the history of humanity’s evolving relationship with Earth’s dynamic climate system and the wondrous weather it generates. Revkin—one of America’s most honored and experienced journalists and authors focused on environmental and human sustainability—wrote it with Lisa Mechaley, an educator at the Children's Environmental Literacy Foundation.

Their book hopscotches through 100 meteorological milestones and insights, from prehistory to today’s headlines and tomorrow’s forecasts. Bite-sized narratives, accompanied by exciting illustrations, touch on such varied topics as Earth's first atmosphere, the physics of rainbows, the deadliest hailstorm, Groundhog Day, the invention of air conditioning, London’s Great Smog, the Year Without Summer, our increasingly strong hurricanes, and the Paris Agreement on climate change. 

Andrew Revkin will be available for questions after the talk; the book will be available for purchase (cash or credit card).
