Celebrate Earth Day with a book talk on two wildlife experts, one studying fish at the turn of the twentieth century, the other birds in the present day. How do we understand, or not understand, nature? What do we learn from attempting to classify it? These are stories of futile striving for perfection and unflagging love for the vast natural world.
