Have you ever pondered how your favourite book came about?  Do books come from personal experiences, random things, real life issues, a dream, or inspiration from another author?   Paul Hanley will share his latest inspiration for his latest book on Sunday September 16, 2018.  “Paul Hanley is a writer with a special interest in the natural environment, agriculture, and the future of civilization.” This event is of particular significance to the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area and its namesake, Richard St. Barbe Baker OBE, Hon. LL.D. F.I.A.L., For.Dip.Cantab., ACF (9 October 1889 – 9 June 1982) .  Come find out what Hanley has to say.

“We live in a time when humanity has developed the capacity to destroy itself and most of the other species with which we share this planet. Warfare is perpetual. The gap between the rich and poor widens. Mothers and children around the world live in poverty and violence. Rivers and streams, the sea and the dry land and the air we breathe are being poisoned and polluted. Forests are being destroyed. The end result of the course we are on will be a world radically less beautiful, radically less diverse, and radically less full of life than it is now. The moral challenge of our time is whether human beings can find ways to live in greater harmony with each other and all beings in the web of life.” from the book book Rebirth of the Goddess, Carol Christ

During such times as these, Paul Hanley has emerged as environmental champion.  Hanley, environment awareness promoter, activist, free lance writer, speaker, and author introduces his latest book at The Word on the Street.  Hanley has published four books and 1600 environmental articles.
