Author Reading | Alexander Pschera reads from his book Animal Internet: Nature and the Digital Revolution


Some fifty thousand creatures around the globe—including whales, leopards, flamingos, bats, and snails—are being equipped with digital tracking devices. The data gathered and studied by major scientific institutes about their behavior will warn us about tsunamis, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, but also radically transform our relationship to the natural world. Alexander Pschera's book examines human ties with animals, from domestic pets to the soaring popularity of bird watching and kitten images on the Web. Will millennia of exploration soon be reduced to experiencing wilderness via smartphone? Contrary to pessimistic fears, Pschera sees the Internet as creating a historic opportunity for a new dialogue between man and nature.

Author Reading | Frederic C. Rich reads from his book Getting to Green: Saving Nature, A Bipartisan Solution


Frederic C. Rich argues that the Green movement in America has lost its way. The key is encouraging Greens and conservatives to work together in the space where their values overlap---what he calls "Center Green." Rich's program is pragmatic and non-ideological. Applying this approach results in practical and actionable positions on climate change, energy policy and other crucial issues.

Jazz | Jasper Dutz, Jazz Woodwind Player


Multi-instrumentalist, gamer, whale enthusiast and composer Jasper Dütz was born and raised in Los Angeles, California and is currently based in New York City. He began playing music at the age of seven after receiving his father’s $20, yard-sale purchased clarinet. Coming from an artistic family, he was exposed to the music of Copland, Ives, Dolphy, and Coleman (Ornette) very early on which may or may not have led to his low-key erraticism.
