SUMMARY:Naturalist Book Club
DESCRIPTION:February 23rd  \nNaturalist Book Club \nJoin us as we discuss John Marzluff ’s captivating book- In the Company of Crows and Ravens \nFrom the cave walls at Lascaux to the last painting by Van Gogh\, from the works of Shakespeare to those of Mark Twain\, there is clear evidence that crows and ravens influence human culture. Yet this influence is not unidirectional\, say the authors  of this fascinating book: people profoundly influence crow culture\, ecology\, and evolution as well. Examining the often surprising ways that crows and humans interact\, John Marzluff and Tony Angell contend that those interactions reflect a process of “cultural coevolution.” They offer a challenging new view of the human-crow dynamic—a view that may change our thinking not only about crows but also about ourselves… As the authors state in their preface: “Crows and people share similar traits and social strategies. To a surprising extent\, to know the crow is to know ourselves.” \nExcerpt from Amazon.com \nJoin us for a lively discussion of this fascinating book. \n  \nDate: February 23rd  \nTime: 7:00pm – 8:00pm \nLocation: China Camp Village Museum\, China Camp State Park \n100 China Camp Village\, San Rafael CA 94901 \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.
