Bud Werner Library to host evening with award-winning journalist, author of new book on Colorado River
The Bud Werner Library will host a conversation next week with award-winning journalist Zak Podmore, author of “Like After Dead Pool: Lake Powell’s Last Days and the Rebirth of the Colorado River”.
Podmore’s book highlights the terrain and complex politics of the Colorado River, its dying reservoirs and the surprising revelation that the inevitable loss of Lake Powell could be a turning point for a more sustainable future.
Through a mix of science and storytelling, “Life After Dead Pool” challenges the notion that the West’s water challenges are unsolvable and invites readers to a secure future where the Colorado River once again runs free.
The event will take place at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 16 in Library Hall. Books will be available for purchase and author signing courtesy and are available at Off the Beaten Path Bookstore.
