UNDER THE SURFACE to be released within weeks

I have received word from my editor at Cornell University Press that the first copies of Under the Surface, Fracking, Fortunes and the Fate of the Marcellus Shale are en route from the printer to the warehouse. From there, they will be distributed nationally to bookstores over the course of the next four to six weeks. In addition to Barnes & Noble, many independents will feature the book, including Oblong Books in the Hudson Valley region, Talking Leaves in Buffalo, and Penn Books in Philadelphia.

I’m honored to appear at these and other bookstores beginning in May. Prior to that, books will be available at my talks scheduled at various venues in upstate New York. Here’s how my speaking schedule looks as of today, with more additions to come. I will post specific times and places as I get them.
