The
Tompkins County Public Library will host journalist Tom Wilber for a reading
and signing of his recently-released book “Under the Surface: Fracking,
Fortunes and the Fate of the Marcellus Shale,” May 17 at 6 p.m. in the
Thaler/Howell Programming Room.
The first book-length overview of shale gas development and the controversies surrounding it, “Under the Surface” (2012 Cornell University Press) explores one of the world’s largest natural gas supplies—the Marcellus Shale-- and examines the impact tapping into the gas will have on environmental policy, politics, energy markets and the lives and livelihoods of families in the Marcellus region.
As a veteran reporter for the Gannet Corporation’s Central New York Newspaper Group, Wilber spent years interviewing key players and residents on all sides of the debate over the Marcellus Shale. His knowledge and objectivity have made him a much-trusted and sought-after speaker on issues relating to the Marcellus region.
Wilber’s Library reading is free and open to the public and is being held in conjunction with the Library and the Tompkins County Public Library Foundation’s 2012 Local Writers Series. Copies of “Under the Surface” will be available for purchase at the event courtesy of Buffalo Street Books.
