Meet & Greet and Book Signing with Douglas Dockery
Join us to meet Douglas Dockery, Emeritus Professor and former chair of the Department of Environmental Health, and author of the new book, Particles of Truth (MIT Press, 2025). The Harvard COOP will be selling copies of the book at the event, and Dr. Dockery will be available to sign copies of the book (that you bring or purchase there).
The book signing will take place immediately following the live-streamed Studio discussion, Breathing easier: The pursuit of clean air, featuring Dr. Dockery and his co-author, Arden Pope.
Particles of Truth is a riveting account of the discovery of the critical health effects of air pollution told by Arden Pope and Douglas Dockery, who have been at the forefront of air pollution and health research for four decades. With an insightful foreword by former EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy, this compelling book provides an inside look at groundbreaking scientific research and ensuing political and public-policy battles. It presents evidence that air pollution is a major contributor to disease and death and that reducing air pollution saves lives. The book also delves into intense efforts to discredit and cast doubt on the science. Read more.
