Join the Boxer Book Club for an in-person discussion with Barb May this September to connect with fellow book lovers and engage in delightful literary conversation. The Boxer Book Club will read and discuss “The Heat Will Kill You First” by Jeff Goodell.
New York Times best-selling journalist Jeff Goodell presents a "masterful, bracing" (David Wallace-Wells) examination of the impact that temperature rise will have on our lives and on our planet, offering a vital new perspective on where we are headed, how we can prepare, and what is at stake if we fail to act.
As an award-winning journalist who has been at the forefront of environmental journalism for decades, Goodell's new book may be his most provocative yet, explaining how extreme heat will dramatically change the world as we know it. Masterfully reported, mixing the latest scientific insight with on-the-ground storytelling, Jeff Goodell tackles the big questions and uncovers how extreme heat is a force beyond anything we have reckoned with before.
"The Heat Will Kill You First" is available to purchase at bookstores near you and at , an online retailer that financially supports the independent bookstore nearest you and also supports the Alumni Association.
This in-person event is free, but advance registration is encouraged for planning purposes. This event will take place on the Ƶ Forest Grove Campus in Washburne Hall University Center, Boxer Pause.
