Green Gettysburg Book Club Concludes Discussion of Carbon by Paul Hawken Last Friday, October 10, the Green Gettysburg Book Club met again on Zoom to discuss the last three chapters of Carbon by Paul Hawken and to begin to think about what to read next. More on that at the end of this report. Chapter 13, “Dark Earth,” of Carbon explores the life of soil. Hawken begins with an epigraph by Jill Clapperton: “When you are standing on the ground, you are standing on the roof of another world” (155). And this other world seems to run by a different set of rules than the one we… Read more »

The Green Gettysburg Book Club began on Valentine’s Day in 2020. Since then we have met regularly online on Friday mornings, reading and discussing a wide variety of books on the natural world and environmental issues.

For more information on this book club, simply send an email to wlane@gettysburg.edu. Though I feel at times like I have temporarily lost touch with the story line in some of the chapters, Carbon is a book full of welcoming… Read more »
Autobiography by Catherine Thomas
writes of her three decades in the cloister as a Carmelite. Well written book published in 1955 provides rare, inside look into the community.
Started reading this thought provoking library book. Definitely intrigued to read more! 💻🧠📖
I’ve read several on education this summer.
“Brave New Words” by Sal Khan (founder of Khan academy) is a techno-utopian vision for A.I. in the classroom. It was revelatory.
“They Came for Our Schools” by Mike Hixenbaugh is all about the reactionary right’s quest to dominate local politics, and their recent victories. It forced me to run for GASD school board (please vote in November)
“Everything is Tuberculosis” was another summer read that I couldn’t put down! The title says it all.
So I read “Raising Hare” by Chloe Dalton this summer. Anyone else read it?
Nope – but now it is on my list!
