Join us for a special signing with Don Hunter, author and editor of the book Snow Leopard. This collection of stories pulls together over twenty stories about the snow leopard and its environment. Very little has been written about this mystical creature. Its remote and rugged habitat among the mightiest collection of mountains on Earth, proclaimed "The Roof of the World" by awe-struck explorers, make it one of the most difficult and expensive animals to study. After a millennia thriving in peaceful isolation, human encroachment, poaching and climate change threaten the snow leopards survival. Speaking on behalf of the snow leopard, these heart-felt stories will inform and inspire readers, creating the vital connection needed to move people toward action in saving this magnificent cat.
Start: 7:00 pm
Much more than a series of case studies, the bulk of Dewey’s new co-authored book, Conflict-Related Sexual Violence, addresses the implications of international responses to conflict-related sexual violence through analyses of the gaps between policy and practice with respect to efforts made by international organizations, criminal courts and tribunals to reduce or respond to conflict-related sexual violence. Scholarly, reflective, provocative yet practical and action-oriented, this book exemplifies a visionary blending of analysis, evidence, concepts and programs for ameliorating the lot of those whose lives are framed by war and conflict and the striving to find healing and justice.
Currently, Susan Dewey is Assistant Professor of Gender and Women's Studies at the University of Wyoming.
