Prof. Philippon Discusses & Signs New Book
Date: November 10, 2009
Time: 4pm
Location: University of Minnesota Bookstore in Coffman Memorial Union
Daniel Philippon, local author and University of Minnesota associate professor, will discuss his book, Our Neck of the Woods: Exploring Minnesota's Wild Places on Tuesday, November 10 at 4:00 pm.
Learn about Minnesota's best-loved places including the North Shore, Lake Bemidji, the western prairies and grasslands, the Boundary Waters, and the Mesabi Iron Range, from notable writers and conservationists. Drawn from pages of Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Minnesota Conservation Volunteer magazine, these observations and spirited tales beckon Minnesotans to work, play, and explore in the natural places close to their homes and hearts. Our Neck of the Woods explores themes such as embracing winter, making camp, and finding wildness even amid development as the authors tell of hunting, fishing, birding, canoeing, and other great outdoor activities that help define what it means to be Minnesotan.
Philippon will sign copies of his book following the discussion.
