February Title: Better Living Through Birding: Notes From A Black Man In The Natural World/ Christian Cooper
Join us for a lively  discussion of this book "Equal parts memoir, travelogue, and primer on the art of birding"

Book Summary:

"In Better Living Through Birding, Cooper tells the story of his extraordinary life leading up to the now-infamous incident in Central Park and shows how a life spent looking up at the birds prepared him, in the most uncanny of ways, to be a gay, Black man in America today. From sharpened senses that work just as well at a protest as in a park to what a bird like the Common Grackle can teach us about self-acceptance, Better Living Through Birding exults in the pleasures of a life lived in pursuit of the natural world and invites you to discover them yourself." This book recounts "Cooper's journey through the wonderful world of birds and what they can teach us about life, if only we would look and listen."

This book is available in many formats regular print, eAudio and as an eBook
