On April 3rd, distinguished writer and naturalist Bernd Heinr ich makes a rare speaking appearance in Maine, where he will reflect on his varied and fascinating areas of expertise: bird behavior, insect physiolog y, patterns in nature, the pleasures of the outdoors … and running.

Running has been central to Heinrich’s life. He has won numerous long distance events, and h e set a number of ultramarathon and masters records in the 1980s. Combining his knowledge as a physiologist, comparative animal biologist, and runner, Heinrich has theorized that the unique human capacity for long-distance ru nning – which requires endurance, intelligence, and the desire to win – is a human adaptation similar to running adaptations in other animals.
T he Friends of the Maine State Museum are delighted to host this tr ue renaissance man, a naturalist-philosopher-athlete, whose breadth of expe rience and lively wit should inspire and entertain audiences.
This pu blic event will be held at the Maine State Museum, 230 State Street in Augu sta, within the Cultural Facilities Building adjacent to Maine’s State Hous e. It begins with a reception at 6 pm and the program at 6:45. Admission is free.
