Our first book will be:
THE WORLD WITHOUT US, by Alan Weisman
If human beings disappeared instantaneously from the Earth, what would happen? How would the planet reclaim its surface? What creatures would emerge from the dark and swarm? How would our treasured structures–our tunnels, our bridges, our homes, our monuments–survive the unmitigated impact of a planet without our intervention? In his revelatory, bestselling account, Alan Weisman draws on every field of science to present an environmental assessment like no other, the most affecting portrait yet of humankind’s place on this planet.
Time magazine’s #1 Non-fiction book of 2007.
GAIL ANDERSON
Reading “The Secret Garden” at age 10 opened up the wonderful world of words and imagination for Gail Anderson, who is currently a Supervisor at the Lincoln Park Library of the High Plains Library District. She has taught community college classes in Ohio, Montana and Washington, as well as worked in libraries in Montana and Colorado. Gail earned her MLIS degree from the University of Washington in 2005. Prior to moving to Colorado in 2006, she lived in Montana for seven years where she was a reference librarian. Since moving to Colorado, Gail enjoys the close proximity of her Colorado family, the myriad days filled with sunshine and the never ending list of books waiting for a good read (although none can quite compare to Colin and Mary’s garden adventures!).
