Steve Hamm will speak about and sign his new book, The Pivot: Addressing Global Problems Through Local Action, on Tuesday, March 1st at 6:30pm at Boulder Book Store. This event is co-sponsored by Drylands Agroecological Research.About the Book:When the world reemerges from the COVID-19 pandemic, it seems likely that it will have transformed irrevocably. Can societies already reeling from climate change, income inequality, and structural racism change for the better? Does the shock of the pandemic offer an opportunity to pivot to a more sustainable way of life? Early in the crisis, a global volunteer collaboration called Pivot Projects was formed to rethink how the world works. Some members are experts in the sciences and the humanities; others are environmental activists or regular people who see themselves as world citizens. In The Pivot, the journalist Steve Hamm--who embedded in the enterprise from the start--explores their efforts and shows how their approach provides a model for achieving systemic change. Chronicling the group's progress along an uncharted path, he shows how people with a variety of skills and personalities collaborate to get things done. Part journal of a plague year and part call to action, The Pivot tells the remarkable story of a collaborative experiment seeking to make the world more sustainable and resilient. _________________ IMPORTANT TICKETING AND EVENT INFORMATION*Tickets are $5 (plus a small processing fee). *A coupon good for $5 off a copy of The Pivot, or a purchase on the day of the event is included with your ticket.
