A native of Hawaii, he's an environmental historian and author whose latest book, Twelve Trees: The Deep Roots of Our Future, is due to be released in March of 2024. The library has connections with Caltech and University of Southern California and houses some of the world's foremost collections of manuscripts and other ephemera, including a large collection dedicated to science and astronomy in particular. In this 45-minute interview Dan and I discuss the library, the nature of research and some of the key aspects of research writing, in general. Support the show
