Climate & Community Book Discussion
January 22, 2025 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Wednesday, January 22, 6:30 PM, via Zoom
Please join Cook Memorial Library, Chocorua Lake Conservancy, and Green Mountain Conservation Group via Zoom on Wednesday, January 22, at 6:30 PM, for a Climate & Community Book Discussion. We’ll discuss the book Water Always Wins: Thriving in an Age of Drought and Deluge, by Erica Gies. Winner of the Rachel Carson Award for Excellence in Environmental Journalism, Water Always Wins is a hopeful journey around the world and across time, illuminating better ways to live with water. Modern civilizations tend to speed water away, erasing its slow phases on the land. Gies reminds us that water’s true nature is to flex with the rhythms of the earth: the slow phases absorb floods, store water for droughts, and feed natural systems. Figuring out what water wants—and accommodating its desires within our human landscapes—is now a crucial survival strategy.
Erica Gies is an independent journalist and National Geographic Explorer who writes about water, climate change, plants, and animals for Scientific American, the New York Times, Nature, the Atlantic, and other outlets.
