SUMMARY:Brandon Brown presents The Apollo Chronicles: Engineering America's First Moon Missions
DESCRIPTION:Brandon Brown presents The Apollo Chronicles: Engineering America’s First Moon Missions\, a uniquely earthbound story of space travel that follows a handful of surviving engineers from the time through their longest days\, tightest deadlines\, and most confounding challenges.\n\n\n\n\n[Brown] has captured the soul of what was arguably the most challenging and significant engineering accomplishment of the 20th century…a great read for all audiences…I learned things about ‘my era’ that I never knew!”–Gerry Griffin\, Former Director of the Johnson Space Center\, and former flight director for the Apollo Program \nTo reserve your seat\, purchase a copy of The Apollo Chronicles by speaking to a bookseller or ordering through our website. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe moon landing of 1969 stands as an iconic moment for both the United States and humankind. The familiar story focuses on the journey of the brave astronauts\, who brought home Moon rocks and startling photographs. But Apollo’s full account includes the earthbound engineers\, mounds of their crumpled paper\, and smoldering metal shards of exploded engines. How exactly did the nation\, step by difficult step\, take men to the Moon and back? \nIn The Apollo Chronicles\, fifty years after the moon landing\, author Brandon R. Brown\, himself the son of an Apollo engineer\, revisits the men and women who toiled behind the lights. He relays the defining twentieth-century project from its roots\, bringing the engineers’ work and personalities to bright life on the page. Set against the backdrop of a turbulent American decade\, the narrative whisks audiences through tense deadlines and technical miracles\, from President John F. Kennedy’s 1961 challenge to NASA’s 1969 lunar triumph\, as engineers confronted wave after wave of previously unthinkable challenges. \nBrown immerses readers in key physical hurdles–from building the world’s most powerful rockets to keeping humans alive in the hostile void of space–using language free of acronyms and technical jargon. The book also pulls back from the detailed tasks and asks larger questions. What did we learn about the Moon? And what can this uniquely innovative project teach us today? \nBrandon R. Brown is a Professor of Physics at USF. His research includes work on superconductivity and sensory biophysics. He enjoys writing about science for general audiences\, including articles and essays in New Scientist\, SEED\, and the Huffington Post\, as well as a biography\, Planck\, that won the 2016 Housatonic Award for Nonfiction.

SUMMARY:Tucker Malarkey returns to present Stronghold: One Man's Quest to Save the World's Wild Salmon\, the story of Guido Rahr
DESCRIPTION:Tucker Malarkey returns to present Stronghold: One Man’s Quest to Save the World’s Wild Salmon\, the story of Guido Rahr\, a passionate and eccentric environmentalist who has single-mindedly dedicated his life to saving the environment\, working to preserve the world’s last pristine stronghold for salmon in Russia’s Far East–a landscape of ecological richness and diversity that is rapidly being developed for oil\, gas\, minerals\, and timber in the Putin era.\n\n\n\n\n“A powerful and inspiring story. Guido Rahr’s mission to save the wild Pacific salmon leads him into adventures that make for a breathtakingly exciting read.”–Ian Frazier\, author of Travels in Siberia \nTo reserve your seat\, please purchase a copy of Stronghold by speaking to a bookseller or ordering from our website. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nA high school drop-out and rebel more at home in the natural world among animals than among people\, Rahr is a passionate fly fisher. His preternatural ability to understand the fish he was catching led him to fear for their future. What he came to understand is that the fate of the salmon is linked with the fate of humanity\, as they contribute in essential ways to our own habitat. Deeply reported and beautifully written\, Stronghold reveals the astonishing natural history of the salmon\, while also providing a fascinating narrative that takes the reader to remote\, inhospitable terrain and into the world of Russian oligarchs\, corrupt officials\, and impenetrable bureaucracies–as well as bringing us as close as possible to an extraordinary species of endangered fish. It is also a personal book in that Malarkey is Rahr’s first cousin and spent her summers with him on their family’s cabins in the wilds of Oregon. She has accompanied Rahr on many of his expeditions and knows this elusive\, private\, brilliant man as few do. \nTucker Malarkey is the author of the novels An Obvious Enchantment and Resurrection. Stronghold is her first major work of nonfiction. She lives in Berkeley.

SUMMARY:The Lager Queen of Minnesota
DESCRIPTION:J. Ryan Stradal reads from his much-anticipated The Lager Queen of Minnesota\, a novel of family\, Midwestern values\, hard work\, fate\, and the secrets of making a world-class beer\, from the author of Kitchens of the Great Midwest. \n\n\n\n\n“Warm\, whimsical\, incredibly well-written and infused with Stradal’s signature sympathy for his characters–those everyday heroes we all know and love. . . a thorough delight\, from beginning to end.”–Nickolas Butler \nTo reserve your seat\, please purchase a copy of The Larger Queen of Minnesota by speaking to a bookseller or ordering through our website. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nEdith Magnusson’s rhubarb pies are famous in the Twin Cities–they were named the third-best in the state of Minnesota and St. Anthony-Waterside Nursing Home has quickly become the hottest dinner ticket in town. Still\, she lies awake wondering how her life might have been different if her father hadn’t left their family farm to her sister Helen\, a decision that split their family in two. \nWith the proceeds from the farm\, her sister\, Helen Blotz\, built her husband Orval’s family soda business into the top selling brewery in Minnesota. She single-handedly created the light beer revolution and made their corporate motto ubiquitous: “Drink lots\, it’s Blotz.” But Helen dismisses IPAs as a fad\, and the Blotz fortune begins its inevitable decline. Soon\, though\, she finds a potential savior that’s surprisingly close to home. . . \nDiana Winter earns a shot at learning the beer business from the ground up just as the IPA revolution begins. The stakes couldn’t be higher: just as she’s launching her own brewpub\, she’s due to deliver a baby girl. When the unthinkable happens\, it’s up to Grandma Edith–and a delightfully surprising cadre of grandmother friends–to secure the next generation’s chances for a better future. Can Grandma Edith’s Rhubarb Pie In A Bottle Ale save Diana’s fledgling brewery\, and change their hearts and fortunes forever? \nJ. Ryan Stradal is a contributing editor at Taste Magazine. His bestselling debut\, Kitchens of the Great Midwest\, won the 2016 American Booksellers Association Indie’s Choice Award for Adult Debut Book of the Year and also the 2016 Midwest Booksellers Choice Award for debut fiction. Born and raised in Minnesota\, he now lives in Los Angeles. \n\n\n\n\nEvent address:

SUMMARY:Alexander Tilney in Conversation with Katharine Dion discussing Tilney's new novel\, The Expectations
DESCRIPTION:Alexander Tilney in Conversation with Katharine Dion discussing Tilney’s new novel\, The Expectations\, “a deeply resonant\, brilliantly nuanced meditation on privilege\, social ambition\, and the folly (and cruelty) of youth.”–Kate Walbert \n“Alexander Tilney applies supple\, panoramic prose to the deep interior of an exclusive Northeastern prep school\, with arresting results: at once anthropological and visceral\, The Expectations provides an authoritative glimpse into a rarefied world of privilege–and announces a dazzling new voice in American fiction.”– Jennifer Egan \nSt. James is an exclusive New England boarding school known for grooming generations of leaders. Ben Weeks is a true insider–his ancestors helped found the school\, his older brother taught him all the slang\, and he’s just won a national championship in squash.\nBut after fourteen long years of waiting\, Ben arrives only to find that the reality of St. James doesn’t quite match up with his imaginings. At the same time\, his new roommate\, Ahmed Al-Khaled\, the son of a fabulously wealthy Emirati sheik\, can’t navigate the unspoken rules of New England blue bloods. Even as Ben and Ahmed struggle to prove themselves in the place they have revered for so long\, each of them must face losing it forever. \nThe Expectations is at once a finely drawn portrait of American privilege and a subtle exploration of class\, race\, and tradition. Above all\, it is a tender\, sharp\, and evocative debut about the pain and treachery of adolescence\, and the difficulty–wherever one finds oneself–of truly belonging. \nAlexander Tilney received an MFA from Warren Wilson College and has been a fellow at the MacDowell Colony. He lives in New York with his partner\, theater artist Sarah Hughes. \nKatharine Dion is the author of The Dependents. She lives in Berkeley.

SUMMARY:Radical Ritual: How Burning Man Changed the World.
DESCRIPTION:Neil Shister in Conversation with Harley Dubois discussing Radical Ritual: How Burning Man Changed the World.\n\n\n\n\n“An all-in history of\, and love letter to\, this one-of-a-kind event. If you’ve been there\, or want to go\, you couldn’t possibly find better companions than Neil Shister and his engaging book.”–Daniel Okrent\, author of Last Call and The Guarded Gate \nTo reserve your seat\, please purchase a copy of Radical Ritual in advance by speaking to a bookseller or ordering from our website. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThrough interviews with fabled Burning Man personages\, Radical Ritual traces the festival’s evolution from the first scrap wood bonfire on a San Francisco beach to the week-long extravaganza in Black Rock City. Written from Neil Shister’s perspective as a five-time participant\, journalist\, and student of American culture\, Radical Ritual presents Burning Man as vitally\, historically important\, a significant player in the avant-garde\, forging new social paradigms as liberal democracy unravels. Burning Man’s contribution to this new order is post-post modern\, a fusion of sixties humanism with state-of-the-art Silicon Valley wizardry. Shister is not alone in his opinion. Led by conservative activist Grover Norquist\, the Cato Institute recently held an event on what libertarians can learn from Burning Man. The festival intertwines conservative and progressive ideas. On one hand it is a celebration of self-reliance\, personal accountability\, and individual freedom; on the other hand it is based on strong values of inclusion\, consensual decision-making\, and centered\, collaborative endeavor. \nNeil Shister has been a correspondent with Time\, television critic for the Miami Herald\, and editor of Atlanta magazine. He’s taught at Hampshire College\, Boston University\, and The George Washington University. He was a Peace Corps Volunteer in the Côte d’Ivoire (1968-1970). He lives in Washington\, D.C. \nHarley Dubois is a founding board member and chief transition officer\, Burning Man Project.

SUMMARY:Kids 12 up! Elizabeth Lim reads from Spin the Dawn
DESCRIPTION:Kids 12 up! Elizabeth Lim reads from Spin the Dawn\, a sweeping YA fantasy about a young girl who poses as a boy to compete for the role of imperial tailor and embarks on an impossible journey to sew three magic dresses\, from the sun\, the moon\, and the stars.\n\n\n\n\n“Pure magic. Romance\, artistry\, and deep enchantment.”–Gregory Maguire\, author of Wicked \n“What an amazing creation! Every time I thought I knew where it was going\, I was wrong. This is a white-knuckle read.”–Tamora Pierce\, author of Tempests and Slaughter \nTo reserve your seat\, purchase a copy of Spin the Dawn by speaking to a bookseller or ordering from our website. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaia Tamarin dreams of becoming the greatest tailor in the land\, but as a girl\, the best she can hope for is to marry well. When a royal messenger summons her ailing father\, once a tailor of renown\, to court\, Maia poses as a boy and takes his place. She knows her life is forfeit if her secret is discovered\, but she’ll take that risk to achieve her dream and save her family from ruin. There’s just one catch: Maia is one of twelve tailors vying for the job. \nBackstabbing and lies run rampant as the tailors compete in challenges to prove their artistry and skill. Maia’s task is further complicated when she draws the attention of the court magician\, Edan\, whose piercing eyes seem to see straight through her disguise.\nAnd nothing could have prepared her for the final challenge: to sew three magic gowns for the emperor’s reluctant bride-to-be\, from the laughter of the sun\, the tears of the moon\, and the blood of stars. With this impossible task before her\, she embarks on a journey to the far reaches of the kingdom\, seeking the sun\, the moon\, and the stars\, and finding more than she ever could have imagined. \nElizabeth Lim grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area\, where she was raised on a hearty diet of fairy tales\, myths\, and songs. Before becoming an author\, Lim was a professional film and video game composer\, and she still tends to come up with her best book ideas when writing near a piano. An alumna of Harvard and Juilliard\, she now lives in New York City with her husband and daughter.

SUMMARY:American Heretics: The Politics of the Gospel
DESCRIPTION:Q&A with director Catherine Butler \nTo Purchase Tickets Click HERE \nAmerican Heretics: The Politics of the Gospel takes audiences into the buckle of Bible belt where a group of defiant Oklahomans are rising up to challenge deeply rooted fundamentalist Christian doctrine. Labeled as “heretics” for their beliefs and actions\, they refuse to wield their faith as a sword sharpened by literal interpretations of the Bible. Especially those interpretations that continue to justify nationalism and hack away at landmark civil rights protections for women\, minorities\, immigrants\, and the LGBTQ communities. These American Heretics are still interested in saving you from hell\, but it’s the earthly one\, where poverty\, discrimination and nationalism oppress those “who are the least among us.” \nDirected and Produced by Emmy Award-winning filmmakers Jeanine and Catherine Butler; edited by award-winning editor Jamie Lee Godfrey (National Geographic\, Newseum); and lensed by Peter Hutchens (Showtime’s “The Trade\,” and Oprah Winfrey’s “Belief” series).

SUMMARY:ZZ TOP: That Little Ol Band From Texas
DESCRIPTION:Produced by the Emmy award-winning Banger Films\, ZZ TOP: THAT LITTLE OL’ BAND FROM TEXAS tells the story of how three oddball teenage bluesmen – Billy Gibbons\, Dusty Hill\, and Frank Beard – became one of the biggest\, most beloved bands on the planet\, all while maintaining a surrealist mystique that continues to intrigue fans and entice onlookers 50 years after the band’s inception. \nBuoyed by candid band interviews\, never-before-seen archive\, animation\, celebrity fan testimonials (Billy Bob Thornton\, Joshua Homme and more)\, and an intimate performance at the legendary Gruene Hall shot exclusively for this documentary\, “That Little Ol’ Band” runs the gamut\, from the absurd to the poignant\, from squalid Texas bars to MTV heroics\, all in celebration of this notoriously private\, but larger than life\, power trio. In the end\, ZZ TOP: THAT LITTLE OL’ BAND FROM TEXAS unravels the extraordinary tale of a band whose image we know\, but whose story we don’t.

But it’s not just for adults. Its Young Writers Program encourages kids in grades K-12 to pick up their pens (or pencils\, or keyboards) and tackle this enormous feat head-on.  \nCome to celebrate the publication of NaNoWriMo’s teen writing guide\, Brave the Page\, which promotes NaNoWriMo’s belief that everyone’s stories deserve to be told. It’s a fun guide that introduces young people to NaNoWriMo’s signature “deadline plus goal” approach and includes craft information\, pep talks from popular authors\, advice on how to commit to your goals\, a detailed roadmap for writing a novel in a month\, and more! \nNational Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that believes in the transformational power of creativity.

Rebecca is now Development Manager. Prior to working for NaNoWriMo\, Stern was a teacher and a Senior Digital Editor at Pearson Education.

SUMMARY:Peter Dale Scott and Freeman Ng  present Poetry and Terror: Politics and Poetics in Coming to Jakarta
DESCRIPTION:Peter Dale Scott and Freeman Ng present Poetry and Terror: Politics and Poetics in Coming to Jakarta\, a study at many levels of Scott’s long poem Coming to Jakarta. \n\n\n\n\nTo reserve your seat\, please purchase a copy of Poetry and Terror ($34.99 paperback) in advance by speaking to a bookseller. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nComing to Jakarta is Scott’s response to a midlife crisis triggered in part by his initial inability to share his knowledge and horror about American involvement in the great Indonesian massacre of 1965. In Poetry and Terror\, interviews with Ng supply fuller information about the poem’s discussions of: a) how this psychological trauma led to an explorations of violence in American society and then\, after a key recognition\, in the poet himself; b) the poem’s look at east-west relations through the lens of the yin-yang\, spiritual-secular doubleness of the human condition; c) how the process of writing the poem led to the recovery of memories too threatening at first to be retained by his normal presentational self\, and d) the mystery of right action\, guided by the Bhagavad Gita and the maxim in the Gospel of Thomas that “If you bring forth what is within you\, what you bring forth will save you.” \nLed by the interviews to greater self-awareness\, Scott then analyses his poem as also an elegy\, not just for the dead in Indonesia\, but “for the passing of the Sixties era\, when so many of us imagined that a Movement might achieve major changes for a better America.” Subsequent chapters develop how human doubleness can lead to an inner tension between the needs of politics and the needs of poetry\, and how some poetry can serve as a non-violent higher politics\, contributing to the evolution of human culture and thus our “second nature.” \nPeter Dale Scott is a poet and author of many books including The American Deep State: Big Money\, Big Oil\, and the Attack on U.S. Democracy and Coming to Jakarta: A Poem About Terror\, and he is co-founder of the Peace and Conflict Studies Program at University of California\, Berkeley. Freeman Ng is a former Google software engineer\, an author\, and an artist.
