Revisiting Pandemic & Religion In The West With Betsy Gaines Quammen & David Quammen On Access Utah

On Tuesday's Access Utah, we revisit our conversation on Betsy Gaines Quammen’s new book, “American Zion: Cliven Bundy, God & Public Lands in the West,” and David Quammen’s book “Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Pandemic,” and how current social issues intersect with the two. 

Conservationist and historian Betsy Gaines Quammen and journalist David Quammen have been on a virtual book tour, conducted from their home in Bozeman and including special guest Boots the Python. You can find their Facebook live events at the Facebook page David Quammen and Betsy Gaines Quammen
