Join author Alex Brash for an enlightening book talk on Wednesday, January 17, at 7 pm in the Youth Services Program Room at Perrot Memorial Library in Greenwich, CT. The event, titled "A Whaler at Twilight: A Book Talk with Author Alex Brash," explores the captivating tale of Brash's great great grandfather's incredible journey to the South Pacific during a time of discovery. Brash's ancestor encounters remarkable individuals, including cannibals and mutineers, narrowly escaping death on numerous occasions. While the narrative primarily focuses on whaling, logging in New Zealand, and indigenous cultures in the vast South Pacific, it delves into a man's personal struggles, his battle with alcoholism, his spiritual journey, and his path to redemption. Brash expertly weaves historical context, delves deeper into specific aspects of the story, and offers modern conservationist perspectives and personal reflections. Born and raised in NYC, Brash's early love for birds evolved into a passion for quantitative community ecology and conservation. With an impressive background working in notable institutions and organizations, including the American Museum of Natural History and the Connecticut Audubon Society, Brash brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to this event.
