(LECTURE) Elizabeth Kolbert's continuing series in the
New Yorker about global warming (her most recent essay discusses the
acidification of the ocean) is popular science journalism at its most elegant. Interviewing her onstage is Tim Egan, author of
National Book Award—winning The Worst Hard Time: The Untold Story of Those Who Survived the Great American Dust Bowl—the chronicle of yet another
man-made ecological disaster. (
