The Elements.
A four-part series of brief programs for public radio.
Earth, wind, fire, and water are timeless elements of California's natural world. This four-part series of brief programs for public radio are meditations on what's at stake for Californians as we confront the tensions between our material need for natural resources and our need for a sustainable—and nurturing—environment. Each program draws on dramatic readings drawn from California literature and history and contemporary commentary by John Farnsworth of Santa Clara University's Environmental Studies Institute.

Great writing about California's natural world is compelling and concrete, encouraging us to be personally in touch with the elements of our environment: earth, wind, fire, and water. Listen to "The Elements" Episodes Below
