SUMMARY:Special Event with Author Robert Marks at Eastern California Museum
DESCRIPTION:The Eastern California Museum is pleased to announce an upcoming special author program with author Robert Marks on Saturday\, September 12\, 2026\, from 1:00 – 3:00 PM. \nRobert B. Marks is Emeritus Professor of History and Environmental Studies at Whittier College. Marks served for 41 years researching and teaching how human societies and natural environments shape each other across time and geography. He has published several books and articles on Chinese and world environmental history. \nHis new book\, “Deep Time in the Mono Lake Basin\,” applies this deep expertise to California’s Eastern Sierra\, tracing 10\,000 years of geological forces\, Indigenous stewardship\, water politics\, and ecological restoration. A resident of June Lake\, his new book brings both scholarly rigor and intimate knowledge to the complex history of an ancient landscape. \nThis special event will be held inside the Eastern California Museum\, located at 155 N. Grant St. in Independence. Marks’ presentation will be followed by a question-and-answer session\, and there will be time for a book signing at the end. \nAll are welcome to join\, and there is no cost to attend. \nFor more information\, visit the Eastern California Museum’s Facebook page\, or call 760-878-0258.
