Program Description

Program Details

 

Join Swine Republic author, Chris Jones, for an author talk and book signing.

The Swine Republic: Struggles With the Truth About Agriculture and Water Quality is Iowa's 2024 selection for adults for Great Reads from Great Places and an unexpected hit across Iowa. 

Jones, a retired University of Iowa researcher, writes for a popular audience about how politics and economics have influenced changes in Iowa’s water quality. His ability to simplify the complex relationship between agriculture and water makes his science writing uniquely accessible. Jones is passionate about getting the truth about the water we consume out to everyday Iowans, farmers, and scientists alike.

 

Books can be purchased online from Dog-Eared Books ahead of time and picked up at the event: https://dogearedbooksames.com/

A small selection of books will also be available for purchase at the event.
