The Big Bang Book Club Stares Down Winter

The Big Bang Book Club discusses Winter World : The Ingenuity of Animal Survival--Tuesday, December 28, at 7:00pm.

Our subject this month is Winter World : The Ingenuity of Animal Survival. Award–winning writer and biologist Bernd Heinrich’s book is an intimate, accessible and eloquent illumination of animal survival in winter. Unlike humans, animals are adaptable to an amazing range of conditions. From flying squirrels to grizzly bears, torpid turtles to insects with antifreeze, the animal kingdom relies on some staggering evolutionary innovations to survive the coldest season.

The Big Bang Book Club mixes arts and science into a heady brew. It is sponsored by Magers & Quinn Booksellers, Secrets of the City (the daily digest of Twin Cities culture), and duplex restaurant.barDetails are here.--David E
