“Let me sigh upon a reed, or in the woods, with leafy din, whisper the still evening in... ” - Henry David Thoreau |
| Welcome to the Loudoun Wildlife Nature Book Club! |
| Join us as we read some of the wonderful books on wildlife and nature. We started this book club as a part of Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy because we realized that many of us were reading great books and talking about them but often we weren't in sync reading the same books. So, we thought this would be a fun way to read some great books together and get together to talk about them. This is also a fun way to hone your naturalists skills. All ages welcome and it's fine if you haven't read the whole book! |
| What's Involved | Current Book: Next Meeting: Synopsis: (Powell's) John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Saint Phocas, Darwin, and Virgil parade through this thought-provoking work, taking their place next to the dung beetle, the compost heap, dowsing, historical farming, and the microscopic biota that till the soil. With fresh eyes and heartfelt reverence, William Bryant Logan variously observes, 'There is glamour to the study of rock'; 'The most mysterious place on Earth is right beneath our feet'; and 'Dirt is the gift of each to all.' |
At the end of each quarter we select our next book. The book selection is made by current participants in the book club and is announced through our blog and this website. When do we get together? We want to keep this simple so as we get closer to the end of each quarter, we will find a location that works well for the readers. How do you get involved? Just fill in the form below and start reading. Details on the current book are to the right. Many of the books are available through the Loudoun County Library so you can borrow the book but you can also find them online. |
