Description:
|
Science and technology affect nearly every aspect of our lives, yet many of us don't know enough about these topics to be able to talk with each other, form opinions or participate in decision-making either personally or at a governmental level. Beyond Fact, a partnership between Multnomah County Library and the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, presents a new series of book discussion groups led by OMSI educators and scientists designed to inform, engage and enlighten participants in four different science themes.
Read "Life: A Natural History of the First Four Billion Years of Life on Earth" by Richard Fortey. From its origins on the still-forming planet to the recent emergence of Homo sapiens--one of the world's leading paleontologists offers an absorbing account of how and why life on earth developed as it did.
Pick up a copy of the book at the Capitol Hill Library after you register.
Beyond Fact is made possible through a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
