Please join us for a conversation with authors Iain McCalman, Stephen and Anthony Palumbi to celebrate the publication of their recent books: The Reef: A Passionate History: The Great Barrier Reef from Captain Cook to Climate Change (Iain McCalman) and The Extreme Life of the Sea (Stephen and Anthony Palumbi).  The authors will reflect on the capability of narrative to transport us to remote, fragile, and threatened ocean environments undergirding our planetary ecosystem, the challenges in telling stories about science, and the urgent environmental concerns motivating their books, in dialogue with Barton Thompson Jr. and Margaret Cohen. Following the event, there will be a book-signing with each of the authors.
