Next Week: Robert Finch and Beatrice Hohenegger
July 19th, 2007
We talk with nature writer Robert Finch about THE IAMBICS OF NEWFOUNDLAND: Notes from an Unknown Shore.
Also, Beatrice Hohenegger tells us about LIQUID JADE: The Story of Tea From East to West.
Robert Finch spent the greater part of a decade traveling around the island of Newfoundland, at “the edge of North America.” In THE IAMBICS OF NEWFOUNDLAND, he explores the people, geography, and wildlife of a remote and lovely, but often dangerously inhospitable place.
We all drink it, but how much do we know about it? Beatrice Hohenegger reveals the stories behind this serene beverage, from spiritual heights and healing powers to the depths of treachery, violence, smuggling, the drug trade, international espionage, slavery, and revolution.
