SUMMARY:Naturalist Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join a lively discussion of On The Move: The Overheating Earth and the Uprooting of America by Abrahm Lustgarten. The award-winning investigative journalist\, filmmaker\, and public speaker specializes in human adaptation to climate change. \nFrom the author’s website:\n“Reporting from the front lines of climate migration\, Lustgarten explains how a pattern of shortsighted policies encouraged millions to settle in vulnerable parts of the country\, and introduces us to homeowners in California\, insurance customers in Florida\, and ranchers in Colorado who are being forced to make the agonizing choice of when\, not whether\, to leave. Employing the most current climate data and predictive models\, he shows how America’s population will be squeezed northward into a shrinking triangle of land stretching from Tennessee to Maine to the Great Lakes. The places many of us now call home are at risk\, and On the Move reveals how we’ll deal with the consequences.” \nDate: Sunday\, September 29\nTime: 7 p.m. – 8 p.m.\nLocation: online meeting; details emailed with registration confirmation\nCost: free to FOCC members; $5 donation appreciated for non-members\nAges: 12 and up \n\nReserve Now\n

SUMMARY:NATURALIST BOOK CLUB 
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an enlightening discussion of Rhythms of Life – The Biological Clocks that Control the Daily Lives of Every Living Thing by Russell G. Foster and Leon Kreitzman. \nFrom the publisher’s website:\n“An eye-opening discussion of how biological clocks affect the lives of all living organisms. In this fascinating book\, Russell Foster and Leon Kreitzman explain the significance of the biological clock\, showing how it has played an essential role in evolution and why it continues to play a vitally important role in all living organisms. The authors tell us that biological clocks are embedded in our genes and reset at sunrise and sunset each day to link astronomical time with an organism’s internal time. They discuss how scientists are working out the clockwork mechanisms and what governs them\, and they describe how organisms measure different intervals of time\, how they are adapted to various cycles\, and how light coordinates the time within to the external world. They review problems that can be caused by malfunctioning biological clocks—including jet lag\, seasonal affective disorder\, and depression. And they warn that although new drugs are being promoted to allow us to stay awake for longer periods\, a 24/7 lifestyle can have a harmful impact on our health\, both as individuals and as a society.” \nDate: Sunday\, November 24\nTime: 7 p.m. – 8 p.m.\nLocation: online meeting; details emailed with registration confirmation\nCost: free to FOCC members; $5 donation appreciated for non-members\nAges: 12 and up \n  \nRESERVE NOW \n
