Homesick for a World Unknown – An Evening with Author Miriam Horn

“I've always had a certain curiosity, a certain wonder about the natural world. I like to be outdoors.” - George B. Schaller
Join us here at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science as we celebrate and contemplate the life and works of George B. Schaller, the world’s leading field biologist with bestselling author, environmental advocate, journalist, and filmmaker, Miriam Horn. Her most recent book, Homesick For A World Unknown, captures over seventy years George Schaller spent living among wild animals in the world’s remotest regions, forever altering how we see—and save—the natural world.
In Homesick for a World Unknown, Miriam Horn draws on thousands of pages from Schaller’s journals and letters, globe-spanning interviews, and two journeys into the field with the legendary scientist himself to trace his emergence as the founding father of modern wildlife conservation. She probes what drives him to know Earth’s wildest places and most fearsome creatures – you don’t want to miss your opportunity to explore the extraordinary life and adventures of the man who inspired Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, and countless other curious voices in the natural world.
Join us for an intimate evening with Miriam Horn, and seize the opportunity to pre-purchase Homesick for a World Unknown, which will be available for pre-purchase here through August 11th. Be sure to stick around and have your copy personalized by the author after her presentation! We can’t wait to see you at the Museum.
