Nature, Science, Writing, and the Future of Humankind

Two celebrated writers hold a free-range conversation about humanity’s embeddedness in nature. Although they work in radically different genres, they’re both among our most insightful thinkers, and both deeply scientifically literate and profoundly elegant stylists. Hosted by J.P. Harpignies, Bioneers Associate Producer. With: Kim Stanley Robinson, renowned science-fiction author; Alison Hawthorne Deming, poet, professor, one of the nation’s greatest writers on the natural world, whose most recent book is Zoologies: On Animals and the Human Spirit.
