Join Bridgeside Books in welcoming Bill McKibben with his latest book 'Falter'. David Goodman will be interviewing Bill for The Vermont Conversation & WDEV, and the audience is asked to join us for another fantastic evening.

About the book: Thirty years ago Bill McKibben offered one of the earliest warnings about climate change. Now he broadens the warning: the entire human game, he suggests, has begun to play itself out.

Falter tells the story of these converging trends and of the ideological fervor that keeps us from bringing them under control. And then, drawing on McKibben's experience in building 350.org, the first truly global citizens movement to combat climate change, it offers some possible ways out of the trap. We're at a bleak moment in human history -- and we'll either confront that bleakness or watch the civilization our forebears built slip away.
