Conversation with Malcolm Margolin and Ken Brower

Posted by Patch on behalf of Susan Schwarz and Friends of Five Creeks:

On the 100th anniversary of the law that allowed damming of Hetch Hetchy Valley in the Sierras, join two storied names in conservation, Malcolm Margolin and Kenneth Brower, as they talk about the battle that broke John Muir's heart, the engineering marvel that miracle that brought water to San Francisco, and whether the glacier-carved valley could be brought back. 

Ken Brower, oldest son of David Brower, is the author of books including The Starship and the Canoe, The Wildness Within, and, most recently, Hetch Hetchy: Undoing a Great California Mistake. 

Malcolm Margolin also has authored many books, including The Ohlone Way. His nonprofit Heyday Books has published hundreds of books on California ecology, cultures, and art. 

Refreshments at 7 PM; talk begins promptly at 7:30. Talks are free, but seating is limited.  This is the last 2013 talk in the Bay Currents series on natural history and environmental issues, with an emphasis on positive solutions.
