The Natural Science Book Club – Becoming Earth: How our Planet came to Life Monday, January 27; 7 - 8 p.m. (in person at the Oregon Ridge Nature Center Library) Acclaimed science writer Ferris Jabr reveals a radical new vision of Earth where lush forests spew water, pollen and bacteria to summon rain; giant animals engineer the very landscapes they roam; microbes chew rock to shape continents; and microscopic plankton, some as glittering as carved jewels, remake the air and sea. Becoming Earth is an exhilarating journey through the hidden workings of our planetary symphony – its players, its instruments, and the music of life that emerges – and an invitation to reexamine our place in it. How well we play our part will determine what kind of Earth our descendants inherit for millennia to come. Adults FREE (donations appreciated)
