Charleston County Public Library is proud to partner with the Science Friday podcast to host the Science Friday Book Club! Please join us in person where we will discuss Craig Child's The Poisoner's Handbook. The following is a description of the book by the publisher: Seeking not the absence of light, but the presence of the universe, master storyteller Craig Childs sets out to bike from the blinding lights of the Las Vegas Strip to one of the darkest spots in North America. A fearless explorer of both the natural world and the human imagination, Childs guides us on a quest to rediscover the heavens and to ask: "What does it do to us to not see the night sky?" The Wild Dark is at once an adventure story, a field guide, and a celebration of the awesome power of night itself, inviting us to look up and to look inward, eyes wide and sparkling with stars.
