The SciFri Book Club, created by the people who bring you the weekly public radio show Science Friday, is an online book club to bring people together around all things science reading—anything from sci-fi short stories to nonfiction science books to science articles from various publications to science-y poetry!
SciFri hosts a new Book Club season each month. The SciFri team works hard to pick the best books for readers, and community members also get the chance to pick the books they want to read together. During each Book Club season there are discussion questions, online and in-person events, chats about related reading and topics, and interviews with authors and other scientific experts about the book. Each month will be a little bit different—so you’ll need to join to stay up-to-date.
Visible Voice is one of a handful of independent bookstore partners for the SciFri book club.
This month’s book is A Sand County Almanac: And Sketches Here and There by Aldo Leopold
First published in 1949, A Sand County Almanac is a collection of vivid and moving descriptions of the ways in which wildlife changes, the prose shifting to accommodate every month, season, and habitat with graceful and vibrant prowess. Whether you’ve always felt a deep connection to North American wildlife or are just beginning your journey, this book gently guides you through a series of observations and reflections on nature, and the importance of land ethics in fostering a deeper relationship with the natural world.
