The Sustainability Institute and Health & Wellness are grateful to partner with the UNH Center for the Humanities to bring this event to our community. The Saul O Sidore Memorial Lecture Series was established in 1965 in memory of Saul O Sidore of Manchester, New Hampshire. The purpose of the series is to offer the University community and the state of New Hampshire programs that raise critical and sometimes controversial issues facing our society. The University of New Hampshire Center for the Humanities sponsors the programs. Lectures are free and open to the public.
On September 29 (8 pm ET / 5 pm PT) Alan Weisman, environmental journalist and best-selling author of The World Without Us, will discuss his new book, Hope Dies Last. The discussion will be moderated by CPA Steering Committee member Dr. Robert Feder.
Bill McKibben says of Hope Dies Last, "Consider this a non-fiction companion to Kim Stanley Robinson's Ministry for the Future. Alan Weisman has traveled the world to find the people doing what they can to slow down the greatest tragedy in our history. You'll be inspired-- maybe even to become one of these people yourself."
