Leadership Lecture Series Welcomes Bill McKibben McKibben, who last visited Dominican in the spring of 2010 after he penned Earth: Making a Life on a Tough Planet, discussed his newest book, Oil and Honey: the Education of an Unlikely Activist. The event was held in front of an appreciative crowd of close to 500 in Dominican’s Angelico Hall.  Time Magazine has called McKibben “the planet's best green journalist” and the Boston Globe said in 2010 that he was “probably the country's most important environmentalist.” He is the author of more than a dozen books about the environment and this year was named the winner of the Sophie Prize in Norway and the Gandhi Peace Award. In the summer of 2011, McKibben was handcuffed and jailed after leading the largest civil disobedience in 30 years by protesting in front of the White House against the Keystone XL pipeline. In Oil and Honey, McKibben joins forces with a Vermont beekeeper, raising one year’s honey crop and building a social movement. His much-larger fight is finding solutions against the fossil-fuel industry as a whole. The speaker series, a cooperative effort between Dominican’s ILS and Book Passage, is celebrating its 10th anniversary at Dominican.
