Interested in hosting an event with a Roadside
Geology of Georgia author?
We wrote Roadside Geology of Georgia
to help spread Earth science understanding in Georgia, and it has been a joy
traveling around the state to walk and talk with those who share our interests.
If your organization would like one of us to provide a program, the following
information will be helpful. You
can reach Dr. Witherspoon at bill@georgiarocks.us and Dr. Gore at pgore@gsu.edu.
Book walks and talks
We are pleased to accept invitations for talk/walk events. We have done
many of these without charging a fee. We are most likely to do this when:
á
The host publicizes the
event well, mentioning Roadside
Geology of Georgia, and invites the public.
á
The host does not
charge the public beyond regular museum or park admission.
á
There is an opportunity
for book sales following the event.
á
If the host has a gift
shop that sells nature books, the book is available there.
á
Some overnight
accommodation is offered for events more than 100 miles from Decatur.
Workshops, School
Visits
Dr. Witherspoon, who retired in September 2014 after 17 years teaching K-12
students, their students, and the public at DeKalb County SchoolsÕ Fernbank Science Center, is able to accept
occasional invitations to offer workshops and school visits. Pricing, good through
2024, is $250 per half-day or $400 per full day, plus mileage from Decatur.
