Upcoming extra credit opportunities

On Saturday the 26th of April from 2-4PM at ARC http://inside.arc.losrios.edu/calendar/ Alan Weisman will speak at ARC

Alan Weisman, author of the New York Times bestseller "The World Without Us," will speak at American River College on Saturday, April 26, from 2:00-4:00 p.m., in the ARC Theatre.

Tickets are $15 general/$10 students, and are available through April 18 at the ARC Business Services Office (Administration Building), then at the theatre box office beginning April 21 (484-8234).

In what has been called “one of the most audacious thought experiments of our time,” Weisman imagines in his book what might happen to the Earth if humans vanished. "The World Without Us" seeks to show humanity’s true impact on the environment in a wholly original way, and to challenge the reader to re-imagine the planet—and humanity’s place within it. Time Magazine named "The World Without Us" as the number-one nonfiction book of 2007.
