Author David Scott Gilligan discusses his book Rise of the Ranges of Light. This book combines captivating first-person narrative with science writing to tell the story of the ever-changing landscapes of California. Picking up where John Muir left off in the classic The Mountains of California, Gilligan takes the reader on a tour of California?s mountains to show how plate tectonics and devastating glaciers to mass extinction and species competition have manifested themselves over five hundred million years to create everything we know. A book sale by Readers Books follows the event. Sponsored by the Wallace Stegner Environmental Center. This is a Green Stacks Program.
