FROM KNOWLEDGE TO POWER Summer Update
The November 2021 publication date for FROM KNOWLEDGE TO POWER: THE COMPREHENSIVE HANDBOOK TO CLIMATE SCIENCE AND ADVOCACY is rapidly approaching, and we are busier than ever trying to get everything planned for a successful launch.

And the most important thing I’ve learned from going through these slightly awkward situations is that communication is king.

The LAUREL EVERYWHERE Virtual Launch Party
There was a time back in March of 2020 when we imagined an in-person book launch for LAUREL EVERYWHERE.

Though in-person book events have a magical quality to them, my team and I worked extremely hard to bring that magic online.
