William Glassley and A Wilder Time at the Last Bookstore

Join us as William Glassley presents his new book, A Wilder Time: Notes from a Geologist at the Edge of the Greenland Ice, and learn about the mysteries and lessons embedded in wilderness above the Arctic Circle. This book recounts the experiences of the author and two Danish colleagues while conducting research in one of the world’s most extensive wilderness terrains. It gives new perspective on our place in Nature, the value of wilderness, and how climate change is affecting that landscape.
