Homecoming: Dodging Extinction

The new book Dodging Extinction weaves together perspectives from the deep past and the present to alert us to the looming Sixth Mass Extinction and offer a practical, hopeful plan for avoiding it. Unless we rethink how we generate power, where we get our food, and how we make our money, we will trigger a global catastrophe. Yet in many instances, technology and know-how are already being applied to crucial issues. Professor Anthony Barnosky will discuss his "guidebook for saving the planet," then sign books following the seminar.
