Join local author and journalist for the Tampa Bay Times Craig Pittman for a presentation about his new book Cat Tale: The Wild, Weird Battle to Save the Florida Panther.  With novelistic detail and an eye for the absurd, Pittman recounts the extraordinary story of the people who brought the panther back from the brink of extinction, the ones who nearly pushed the species over the edge, and the cats that were caught in the middle. This being Florida, there’s more than a little weirdness, too.
