ARCPDX Book Club - October 2025

**VIRTUAL ONLY THIS MONTH** 📚We look forward to discussing the 2nd half of "An Immense World" by Ed Yong, with you on 10/28! ✳️✳️You DO NOT need to have attended September’s meeting to attend the October’s meeting 🙂 📖 An Immense World is a 2022 non-fiction book by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Ed Yong that explores the diverse sensory experiences of animals, highlighting senses like electroreception, magnetic field navigation, and heightened olfactory capabilities that are beyond human perception. The book reveals the "hidden realms" animals inhabit, challenging readers to move beyond their own sensory limitations and appreciate a broader understanding of life on Earth. 📕 Whether you're a seasoned activist or a curious newcomer, all are welcome to join the Animal Rights Collective Portland (ARCPDX) Book Club! 🙏 Thank you to Takara for leading and Northwest Animal RIghts Network (NARN), Veggies Do It Better Events, and Northwest VEG for co-hosting. 🗓 Tuesday, October 28th **Discussing the Chapter 7-13** ⏰ 6-7:45pm 💻 Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/7654622343 📕 Books are suggested and voted on by the group.
