The St. Louis County Library Foundation and Left Bank Books Present New York Times Science Columnist Carl Zimmer

 
Author of “Air-Borne: The Hidden History of the Life We Breathe”
 

New York Times science columnist Carl Zimmer presents the fascinating, untold story of the air we breathe. Every day we draw in two thousand gallons of air. From the ground to the stratosphere, the air teems with invisible life. In “Air-Borne,” Zimmer leads us on an odyssey through the living atmosphere and through the history of its discovery and leaves readers looking at the world with new eyes—as a place where the oceans and forests loft trillions of cells into the air, where microbes eat clouds, and where life soars thousands of miles on the wind.

Doors open at 6:00 p.m.
