Petersen's Book Gathering - January
About
Welcome to Petersen's Book Gathering!We'll be focusing on classics, memoirs and literature for this club, with the focus on deep conversations about the literature and guided conversations relating to the content of the book. Each month we'll explore a different genre as chosen by the members.
You can choose to BYO book (you might borrow a copy from a friend, through the library, prefer audio or purchase elsewhere) or you can purchase the book through Petersen's Bookstore. Just select your preference when you RSVP.
Places limited to 10 people per month - we want everyone to get the opportunity to discuss the book and generate meaningful conversation which we can't do if there are too many voices.
In January we are reading Defiance: Stories from Nature and Its Defenders by Bob Brown.
For half a century, Bob Brown has been standing up to the powerful interests who would put profit before planet. In Defiance, he draws on this experience to inspire a new generation of individual and collective action. He reflects on the people and places that have shaped him, celebrates the irreplaceable beauty and value of nature and shares what motivates him to keep fighting.
He considers the challenges facing nature's defenders - hostile corporate lobbyists, vilification in the press, the powerful pull of consumerism - and shows how courage, persistence and community can defeat them all.
Sessions will be moderated, with light refreshments provided.
