Mark Nelson wins Independent Publisher’s Evergreen Medal

August 27, 2018

We’re thrilled to announce that Mark Nelson has been honored with an Independent Publisher Living Now Evergreen Medal for his book Pushing Our Limits: Insights from Biosphere 2.

One of the eight crew members locked in Biosphere 2 during its first closure experiment, Mark Nelson offers a compelling insider’s view of the dramatic story behind the mini-world. His book is a fresh examination of Biosphere 2, the world’s first man-made mini-world, twenty-five years after its first closure experiment. Exploring the project’s implications for today’s global environmental challenges, Pushing Our Limits offers a pathway for reconnecting people to a healthy relationship with nature.

Conducted annually, the Independent Publisher Book Awards honor the year’s best independently published titles from around the world and their Living Now Award Evergreen Medals commemorate world-changing books for “their contributions to positive global change.”
