Thor Hanson, author of Feather: The Evolution of a Natural Miracle, was at an event in Edmonds Park Washington, that was arranged by Books In Comon. He was the keynote speaker at the Puget Sound Bird Festival, where he delighted more than 100 participants.  Feathers, which is a fascinating and thought-provoking study of the unique history behind the evolution of feathers (they date back more than 150 million years!) has won numerous awards and was described by the New York Times as “gracious, funny, persuasive, and wide ranging.”  Thor Hanson’s style as a presenter is just as compelling.  “We loved Thor’s presentation,” said the Environmental Education Coordinator for the City of Edmonds Park. “He is so engaging and entertaining.  He had people laughing all the way through, and there was a good mix of science and amusing anecdotes for our audience.  There was a very lively Q&A and many people stayed to talk with Thor after the program.”
