Non-Fiction Book Club to Discuss The Vertical Farm by Dr. Dickson Despommier - Thursday, December 4th @ 6:30PM

Up next for you Non-Fiction book lovers is a little book that proclaims itself to be an instant classic. Sting is very impressed with the agricultural theories of this Columbia Professor. He says so on in his blurb on the hardcover edition: “The Vertical Farm is a world-changing innovation whose time has come. This visionary book provides a blueprint for securing the world’s food supply and at the same time solving one of the gravest environmental crises facing us today.” So read along with us and tell us what you think. Is Sting correct? Has Dr. Despommier solved the worlds food, water and energy crises? In any case, it’s sure to be good food for thought to go along with all the food for our bellies as we celebrate eating, er, Thanksgiving next week.
