DESCRIPTION:Come\, share your ideas and learn more about environmental top
 ics in this space for thoughtful exchange\, around fiction and non-fiction
  books.  .\nhttps://mcpl.libnet.info/event/10213116
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Starting from a common base to have real d
 iscussions about the environment\, this book discussion club is a great wa
 y to deepen ideas\, have respectful debates while listening to the points 
 of view of others and broaden our understanding and vision on this importa
 nt topic. Together\, we may discover new forms of commitment and imagine n
 ew sustainable and desirable horizons.</p>\n<p>This month we will discuss&
 nbsp\;<em>Ministry for the Future</em>\, by Kim Stanley Robinson. Told ent
 irely through fictional eye-witness accounts\, <em>The Ministry for the Fu
 ture</em> is a masterpiece of the imagination\, the story of how climate c
 hange will affect us all over the decades to come. Its setting is not a de
 solate\, post-apocalyptic world\, but a future that is almost upon us&mdas
 h\;and in which we might just overcome the extraordinary challenges we fac
 e. It is a novel both immediate and impactful\, desperate and hopeful in e
 qual measure\, and it is one of the most powerful and original books on cl
 imate change ever written.</p>\n<p>A limited number of copies will be avai
 lable at the Check Out Desk.</p>\n<p><strong>Questions about this program?
