SUMMARY:Naturalist Book Club
DESCRIPTION:NATURALIST BOOK CLUB\n Join Friends of China Camp for March’s discussion: \nLife’s Engines by Bernd Heinrich \n\n“For almost four billion years\, microbes had the primordial oceans all to themselves. The stewards of Earth\, these organisms transformed the chemistry of our planet to make it habitable for plants\, animals\, and us. Life’s Engines takes readers deep into the microscopic world to explore how these marvelous creatures made life on Earth possible―and how human life today would cease to exist without them. \nPaul Falkowski looks “under the hood” of microbes to find the engines of life\, the actual working parts that do the biochemical heavy lifting for every living organism on Earth. With insight and humor\, he explains how these miniature engines are built―and how they have been appropriated by and assembled like Lego sets within every creature that walks\, swims\, or flies… \nA vibrantly entertaining book about the microbes that  support our very existence\, Life’s Engines will inspire wonder about these elegantly complex nanomachines that have driven life since its origin. It also issues a timely warning about the dangers of tinkering with that machinery to make it more “efficient” at meeting the    ever-growing demands of humans in the coming century.” \n      (Exerp from Amazon.com) \n  \nWhen: Sunday\, March 24th\, 2019 \nTime: 7pm-8pm   \nMeeting Place: China Camp Village Museum\, China Camp State Park \n  \nPlease RSVP to chinacamp.programs@gmail.com or (415)456-0766 \nPlease bring warm clothing\, water and snacks. \nInclude your name and the number of seats you need. \nWe will reply to confirm your reservation. \nCancellation announcements will be posted on the FOCC website homepage.

SUMMARY:Naturalist Book Club
DESCRIPTION:April’s Naturalist Book Club \nJoin us as we discuss Schilthuizen’s captivating book-\nDarwin Comes to Town: How the Urban Jungle Drives Evolution by  Menno Schilthuizen\n\nJoin us for a lively discussion of this fascinating book that looks at the impact of the urban environment on the evolution of species.   \n\n“For a long time\, biologists thought evolution was a necessarily slow process\, too incremental to be observed in a lifetime. In Darwin Comes to Town\, evolutionary biologist Menno Schilthuizen shows that evolution can in fact happen extremely quickly\, and in the strangest of places: the heart of the city.  \nMenno Schilthuizen is one of a growing number of “urban ecologists” studying how our manmade environments are accelerating the evolution of the animals and plants around us… Schilthuizen shares a stunning vision of urban evolution in which humans and wildlife co-exist in a unique harmony. It reveals that evolution can happen far more rapidly than Darwin dreamed\, while providing a glimmer of hope that our race toward overpopulation might not take the rest of nature down with us.” \nExcerpt from Goodreads.com \nDate: April 28th\, 2019 \nTime: 7pm-8pm \nLocation: China Camp Village Museum\, China Camp State Park \n  \nSpace is limited and reservations are required. \nTo reserve\, send email to: \nchinacamp.programs@gmail.com or call (415) 456-0766 \nInclude your name\, the number of seats you need\, and your phone #. \nWe will reply to confirm your reservation. \nCancellation announcements will be posted on the FOCC website homepage.

SUMMARY:Naturalist Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we discuss Kate Marianchild’s captivating book-\nSecrets of the Oak Woodlands \n\nJoin us for a lively discussion of this fascinating book that reveals the hidden inner life of oak woodland ecology.   \n  \n“A Californian may vacation in Yosemite\, Big Sur\, or Death Valley\, but many of us come home to an oak woodland. Yet\, while common\, oak woodlands are anything but ordinary. In a book rich in illustration and suffused with wonder\, author Kate Marianchild combines extensive research and years of personal experience to explore some of the marvelous plants and animals that the oak woodlands nurture. Acorn woodpeckers unite in marriages of up to ten mates and raise their young cooperatively. Ground squirrels roll in rattlesnake skins to hide their scent from hungry snakes. Manzanita’s rust-colored\, paper-thin bark peels away in time for the summer solstice\, exposing sinuous contours that are cool to the touch even on the hottest day. Conveying up-to-the-minute scientific findings with a storyteller’s skill\, Marianchild introduces us to a host of remarkable creatures in a world close by\, a world that “rustles\, hums\, and sings with the sounds of wild things.” \nExerpt from Amazon.com \n  \n  \n  \nDate: Sunday\, May 26th\, 2019 \nTime: 7:00pm – 8:00pm \nLocation: China Camp Village Museum\, China Camp State Park \n  \nSpace is limited and reservations are required. \nTo reserve\, send email to: \nchinacamp.programs@gmail.com or call (415) 456-0766 \nInclude your name\, the number of seats you need\, and your phone #. \nWe will reply to confirm your reservation. \nCancellation announcements will be posted on the FOCC website homepage.
