SUMMARY:SELT Book Club - Why Fish Don't Exist by Lulu Miller
DESCRIPTION:Join SELT Deputy Director\, Beverly Shadley\, for snacks\, drinks\, and a lively discussion on Why Fish Don’t Exist by Lulu Miller. \nDavid Starr Jordan was a taxonomist\, a man possessed with bringing order to the natural world. In time\, he would be credited with discovering nearly a fifth of the fish known to humans in his day. But the more of the hidden blueprint of life he uncovered\, the harder the universe seemed to try to thwart him. His specimen collections were demolished by lightning\, by fire\, and eventually by the 1906 San Francisco earthquake—which sent more than a thousand discoveries\, housed in fragile glass jars\, plummeting to the floor. In an instant\, his life’s work was shattered. \nMany might have given up\, given in to despair. But Jordan? He surveyed the wreckage at his feet\, found the first fish that he recognized\, and confidently began to rebuild his collection. And this time\, he introduced one clever innovation that he believed would at last protect his work against the chaos of the world. \nWhen NPR reporter Lulu Miller first heard this anecdote in passing\, she took Jordan for a fool—a cautionary tale in hubris\, or denial. But as her own life slowly unraveled\, she began to wonder about him. Perhaps instead he was a model for how to go on when all seemed lost. What she would unearth about his life would transform her understanding of history\, morality\, and the world beneath her feet. \nPart biography\, part memoir\, part scientific adventure\, Why Fish Don’t Exist is a wondrous fable about how to persevere in a world where chaos will always prevail. \n  \nWe are still partnering with our friends at Water Street Bookstore in Exeter\, who will donate 20% of the proceeds from Why Fish Don’t Exist to SELT – to order: \nGrab your copy in person in downtown Exeter\, or order through their website (www.waterstreetbooks.com) and get free shipping! \n  \nRegistration required\, Click Here to Register
