Gibsons Library: Book Club: Beneath the Surface of Things

Come join our discussion of Beneath the Surface of Things, a book of essays by Canadian anthropologist, Wade Davis.

Through his anthropological lens, Wade Davis’s new collection of essays explores topics including the demonization of coca; the Great War and the birth of modernity; the British conquest of Everest; the endless conflict in the Middle East; reaching beyond fear of climate change; and the meaning of the sacred.
