Science: Sara Wheeler: Notes from the Arctic Circle
The fragmented polar lands of the Arctic were a repository of myth long before scientists and oilmen showed up, having fed literary imaginations from Dickens to Chekhov. Sara Wheeler, author of the bestselling Terra Incognita and the new The Magnetic North, explores the complex and ambiguous Arctic, from gulag ghosts to colliding cultures and toxins in polar bears, concluding that it "perfectly captures the elegiac melancholy of middle age." Presented as part of Seattle Science Lectures, with Pacific Science Center and University Book Store. Series sponsored by Microsoft. Series media sponsorship provided by KPLU.
