An Evening with Andrew Furman

Join a thought-provoking exploration of South Florida's unique intersection of suburban life and natural wonder. Author and Florida Atlantic University professor Andrew Furman visits Books & Books in Coral Gables on Tuesday, March 18 to discuss his new book Of Slash Pines and Manatees: A Highly Selective Field Guide to My Suburban Wilderness. The work examines the delicate balance between human development and environmental preservation through personal vignettes of everyday encounters with local wildlife and flora. Drawing from his experiences living in one of America's most developed yet naturally diverse states, Furman challenges traditional distinctions between nature and culture while encouraging readers to discover wild spaces in their own communities.

The free event will include a discussion and book signing, with copies available for purchase.
