FREE AND OPEN TO ALL
FORD HALL FORUM AND CAMBRIDGE FORUM are pleased to offer you a free invitation to an open public discussion.
John Hainze, entomologist, ethicist and former pesticide-developer call for humans to exercise greater respect and consideration for the other tiny organisms that share our world. In his latest book, “NATURE UNDERFOOT: Learning to Live with Tiny Life” Hainze argues that at a time when insect populations are in dramatic decline, it is more crucial than ever that we protect this creepy crawlies and “unwanted” plants.
He will be joined in conversation with James Barilla, author of ‘MY BACKYARD JUNGLE: The Adventures of an Urban Wildlife Lover who turned His Yard into Habitat and Learned to live with It” which considers the habitat of a typical urban back yard as a microcosm of burgeoning cities like Delhi and Rio de Janeiro. He teaches creative non-fiction and environmental literature in the MFA program at the University of South Carolina.
