 present: \n\nDeath at Sea World: A Conversation with David Kirby\nWith Rose 
 Aguilar, host of KALW's Your Call \nand Mark Berman, as seen in Keiko: The 
 Untold Story\n\nDon't miss author David Kirby, making a special apperance 
 in the Bay Area, to speak about his forthcoming book which explores the 
 truth behind dolphin and whale captivity. Happening on July 25th in San 
 Francisco, this exciting event will provide insight into the dark side of 
 facilities like SeaWorld.  \n\nAbout the book: \nFrom the New York Times 
 bestselling author of Evidence of Harm and Animal Factory comes DEATH AT 
 SEAWORLD (St. Martin’s Press; July 17, 2012; Hardcover) a groundbreaking 
 scientific thriller that exposes the dark side of SeaWorld, America’s 
 most beloved marine mammal park.  From the tragic death of trainer Dawn 
 Brancheau in 2010, to other, less-publicized violent incidents, journalist 
 David Kirby puts these brutal human-on-animal attacks in context and 
 explores the controversial and even lethal ramifications of keeping killer 
 whales in captivity.\n \nDEATH AT SEAWORLD introduces the real people 
 taking part in this debate, from former trainers turned animal rights 
 activists to the men and women that champion SeaWorld and the captivity of 
 whales. Kirby follows the story of marine biologist and animal advocate 
 Naomi Rose at the Humane Society of the US, whose warnings against keeping 
 killer whales in captivity fell on deaf ears.  He also covers the media 
 backlash, the eyewitnesses who come forward to challenge SeaWorld’s 
 glossy image, and the groundbreaking OSHA case that may spell the end of 
 having trainers in the water with the ocean’s top predators.\n \nKirby 
 also introduces the reader to various killer whales, also known as orcas, 
 (who are actually the world’s largest dolphins) and how they rarely, if 
 ever, harm humans in the wild and are among the smartest animals in the 
 world.  \n\nDon't miss this exciting opportunity to hear the story from the 
 author himself! \n\nParking available at http://www.fifthandmission.com/ \n
