Join us in celebrating the release of Dr. Nadina Galle's debut book, The Nature of Our Cities, a stirring exploration of how innovators worldwide are merging urban nature with cutting-edge technologies to safeguard our cities from the impacts of climate change and promote the well-being of their inhabitants.

Dr. Owen Wiseman, a passionate advocate for nature's role in health, will kick off the event, setting the tone with his infectious enthusiasm. Nadina will share excerpts from her book, followed by a thought-provoking conversation with Owen about its themes and implications.

Conclude the evening with a personal touch as Nadina signs copies of her book. Refreshments will be provided, and copies of The Nature of Our Cities will be available for purchase. Let's come together to celebrate the beauty and potential of urban nature in shaping our shared future.

This program is presented in partnership with Words Worth Books in celebration of 40 years.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

About The Nature of Our Cities

Humanity's increasing detachment from the natural world, now spending 90% of its time indoors, has triggered crises in mental health, longevity, and hope for future generations. As we drift further from nature, the looming threat of extreme weather events like historic floods, heatwaves, and wildfires becomes more pronounced. Yet, amidst these challenges, there's a growing acknowledgment of nature's potential to fortify and revitalize our urban environments.‍‍

Enter The Nature of Our Cities, a groundbreaking exploration of how technology is aiding nature in these critical times.
