SUMMARY:Thor Hanson at the SF Botanical Garden
DESCRIPTION:Thor Hanson discusses his new book\, Buzz: The Nature and Necessity of Bees\, at the San Francisco Botanical Garden. This event will feature a talk in the Fragrance Garden followed by a signing. ***NOTE*** This is a free event but there is an $9.00 admission fee to the garden for Non-San Francisco residents. Seating will be limited. \n\nPraise for Buzz \n\n“Thor Hanson is a gifted story teller and naturalist. In Buzz\, he takes us along on a wondrous\, action-packed journey to discover the secret lives of bees\, flowers\, and the unconventional men and women who study them. This book really is the buzz about bees\, and it’s destined to become a natural history classic.”―Stephen Buchmann\, author of The Reason for Flowers \n\n“Thor Hanson is a magician at making entomology and taxonomy exciting\, highlighting the fascinating world of bees. Buzz hums with science and history\, exposing how bees have shaped our world. A delightful\, buzzworthy must-read!”―Daniel Chamovitz\, author of What a Plant Knows \n\n“As he did for feathers and seeds\, Thor Hanson has written a wonderfully engaging work of natural history that will delight readers with its elegant prose\, surprising stories\, and deep humanity. Bees\, so important to life on earth\, are fortunate to have someone as passionate and knowledgeable as Hanson tell the tale of their evolutionary past\, turbulent present\, and precarious future. After reading Buzz\, you will look at bees with a profound mixture of awe and gratitude.”―Eric Jay Dolin\, author of Black Flags\, Blue Waters\, and Leviathan \n\nAbout Buzz \n\nFrom the award-winning author of The Triumph of Seeds and Feathers\, a natural and cultural history of the buzzing wee beasties that make the world go round. \nBees are like oxygen: ubiquitous\, essential\, and\, for the most part\, unseen. While we might overlook them\, they lie at the heart of relationships that bind the human and natural worlds. In Buzz\, the beloved Thor Hanson takes us on a journey that begins 125 million years ago\, when a wasp first dared to feed pollen to its young. From honeybees and bumbles to lesser-known diggers\, miners\, leafcutters\, and masons\, bees have long been central to our harvests\, our mythologies\, and our very existence. They’ve given us sweetness and light\, the beauty of flowers\, and as much as a third of the foodstuffs we eat. And\, alarmingly\, they are at risk of disappearing. \nAs informative and enchanting as the waggle dance of a honeybee\, Buzz shows us why all bees are wonders to celebrate and protect. Read this book and you’ll never overlook them again.
