Join us for what must surely be our first brother-and-sister book launch: Jess Thomson and Joshua Howe both have new books this spring (both from the University of Washington Press, in fact). Jess, our Greenwood neighbor who has written her own cookbooks and collaborated on others (including, most spectacularly, Renee Erickson's A Boat, a Whale, and a Walrus), is publishing her first memoir, A Year Right Here: Adventures with Food and Family in the Great Nearby, while Joshua, an assistant professor of history and environmental studies at Reed College, comes up from Portland to discuss his new book full of documentary background to one of the most contentious issues of our day, Making Climate Change History: Documents from Global Warming's Past.
