Pandemic, Religion, Rebellion with Betsy Gaines Quammen David Quammen

Join Betsy Gaines Quammen and David Quammen for a live-streaming discussion on coronavirus outbreak, religious conspiracy, and movements agitating against shelter in place orders on April 15 at 7 pm (PDT), hosted by Third Place Books, WildEarth Guardians, and Torrey House Press.

Gaines Quammen is the author of American Zion: Cliven Bundy, God and Public Lands in the West and since her book tour has been postponed, David and Betsy decided to collaborate and talk about both of their books and how they intersect at this very moment.

David, who wrote Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Pandemic, will cover the topic of disease outbreak and Betsy will talk about responses to outbreak focused on rebellion and conspiracy.

As governments and communities work to stop the spread of COVID-19 with stay-home orders, Ammon Bundy, son of Cliven Bundy, is currently agitating against disease related restrictions in Idaho. But as the White House eases environmental protections and recommends suspension of habeas corpus, could Ammon have a point?

We hope you can join us for this casual, hopefully fun, informative and best of all, not contagious live event from Betsy and David’s living room to yours. If you’d like to read either or both books before the talk, Third Place Books is offering free shipping on any orders over $25. Help support local businesses!
