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 "Dr. Tatiana's Sex Advice to All Creation" by Olivia Judson. Through copiously researched data, biologist and journalist Judson explains animal mating habits and evolutionary biology in a tongue-in-cheek advice column format providing reams of fascinating factoids, such as the nauseating dining habits of tropical cockroaches during copulation, and the pregnancies of the male seahorse and his cousin, the pipefish.
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.
