Book Discussion: The hidden life of ice, dispatches from a disappearing world
The Camden Conference and the Auburn Public Library invite you to a book discussion -- “The Hidden Life of Ice: Dispatches from a Disappearing World” by Marco Tedesco with Alberto Flores d'Arcais; translated by Denise Muir; foreword by Elizabeth Kolbert. "A pioneering researcher's illuminating account of Arctic ice--its secret history and dire future. Tedesco unearths its secrets--from evidence of long-extinct "polar camels" to fantastically weird microorganisms living at freezing temperature in cryoconite holes--and weaves together the bald facts on climate change with poetic reflections on this endangered landscape, epic tales of Arctic explorers, and the legends of the rare local populations"-- Provided by publisher. This discussion will take place via Zoom. To register, please contact the Reference Desk at 207-333-6640, ext. 4. When you register, please give us your email address so we can send you the Zoom link for the discussion. Books should be available and can be picked up after January 4th. The Camden Conference was founded in 1987 as a nonprofit, non-partisan educational organization whose mission is to foster informed discourse on world issues. The 2021 conference “The Geopolitics of the Arctic: a Region in Peril” will be entirely virtual and will take place February 20 & 21, 2021.
