Celebrated ethnobotanist, biodiversity pioneer and MacArthur “Genius Grant” Fellow, Gary Paul Nabhan joins me today with his life’s work of epic tales, Water in The Desert: A Pilgrimage.

Seemingly born with an understanding of interspecies belonging, his youthful adventures and observations became essential knowledge for all of us. Gary Paul Nabhan will be at Collected Works at 6:00 pm Thursday, July 23rd.
