SUMMARY:Andrea Wulf Launches "Magnificent Rebels"
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to be partnering with Middleton Place Foundation to host an evening of learning about some Magnificent Rebels with Andrea Wulf. Wulf’s newest exhilarating book paints the picture of a remarkable group of young rebels – poets\, novelists\, philosophers – who\, through their epic quarrels\, passionate love stories\, heartbreaking grief\, and radical ideas launched Romanticism onto the world stage\, inspiring some of the greatest thinkers of the time. Their unconventional lives inspired radical ideas – about the creative power of the self\, the aspirations of art and science\, nature and the true meaning of freedom. \nTickets are $10 for CLS and Middleton Place Foundation members and $15 for guests. Free for students by calling the number listed below and showing a valid ID at check in.\nTo purchase tickets\, click here or call 843-723-9912. \nAbout the Book:\nMagnificent Rebels. The First Romantics and the Invention of the Self\nFrom the best-selling author of The Invention of Nature comes an exhilarating story about a remarkable group of rebels who changed the way we think about ourselves and the world. Forget Paris… the real Revolution in the 1790s happened in Jena\, a quiet German university town where the unlikely revolutionaries were not soldiers or politicians but poets and playwrights (Goethe\, Schiller and Novalis)\, philosophers (Fichte\, Schelling and Hegel)\, literary critics (the contentious Schlegel brothers) and scientists (Alexander von Humboldt). And at their heart was the formidable and free-spirited Caroline Schlegel. \nIn Magnificent Rebels\, Andrea Wulf takes us on a vivid journey through their adventures and misadventures\, passionate love affairs and epic quarrels\, successes and heartbreak. We are still empowered by their daring leap into the self today. The French revolutionaries may have changed the political landscape\, but these young Romantics incited a revolution of the mind that shaped our modern world. \nAuthor Andrea Wulf:\nAndrea Wulf is the award-winning author of several books\, including Founding Gardeners\, Brother Gardeners\, and the bestselling The Invention of Nature which is published in 27 languages and won a Costa for Biography\, the Royal Society Award for Science and the LA Times Book Prize (and thirteen other international literary awards). Andrea has written for many newspapers including the Guardian\, New York Times\, Financial Times\, and The Atlantic. She is a member of PEN American Center and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. She lives in London.

SUMMARY:A thrilling\, tragic and occasionally comic human story of the downfall of Bill Gross - the Bond King
DESCRIPTION:Please join us as we welcome the award-winning financial journalist Mary Childs as she paints a vivid picture of her book on Bill Gross – a once high powered Financier who\, through mismanagement and recklessness\, lost it all. Her in depth research of the finance world provides an accessible and illuminating description of the rise of the multitrillion-dollar bond market. Centering on a fascinating and entertaining character\, Bill Gross\, whose journey takes us right to the heart of the story of high finance over the last half century\, Childs will describe how it all began and unraveled for the man who is credited with turning a once sleepy and low-risk corner of finance (bonds) into an exciting casino. \nTickets are $25 for CLS members and $35 for guests. Free for students by calling the number listed below and showing a valid ID at check in (please note: boxed lunch not included with free admittance).\nTo purchase tickets\, click here or call 843-723-9912. \nAbout the Book:\nThe Bond King is the story of how whiz kid\, Bill Gross\, made American finance his casino. Over the course of decades\, Bill Gross turned the sleepy bond market into a destabilized game of high risk\, high reward; founded Pimco\, one of today’s most powerful\, secretive\, and cutthroat investment firms; helped to reshape our financial system in the aftermath of the Great Recession—to his own advantage; and gained legions of admirers\, and enemies\, along the way. Like every American antihero\, his ambition would also be his undoing. \nIt’s a vivid and authoritative portrait of one of the most influential figures in American finance\, Bill Gross. How he created the market for trading bonds\, how he dominated it\, and built an empire — to then be more or less ousted by his own firm. Few people and firms have had such an enormous impact shaping our world. It’s also a wild story of pettiness and drama between billionaires. \nAbout Mary Childs:\nMary Childs is the author of the bestselling book The Bond King: How One Man Made a Market\, Built an Empire\, and Lost It All and is a co-host at NPR’s Planet Money\, one of the world’s most popular podcasts. She’s been a reporter at Barron’s magazine\, the Financial Times\, and Bloomberg News. Before starting her career as a journalist\, she spent a year traveling the world painting portraits as a Watson Fellow. She graduated from Washington & Lee with an honors thesis on the use and significance of sting operations in media in the U.S. and India. She lives in Virginia with her family. \n\nReviews & Blurbs:\n“An instant classic of finance and a joy to read. Mary Childs has a gift for explaining the rise of the modern bond market\, one of the most important stories of finance\, and interlaces that story with the deeply reported\, thrilling\, tragic and occasionally comic human story of the downfall of Bill Gross. And it is all written with great style\, wit and insight. Anyone looking to understand the nuances of bonds or the difficulties of managing complicated people should read this book.” — Matt Levine\, ‘Money Stuff’ columnist\, Bloomberg Opinion \n\n“A most necessary book. Mary Childs is one of a handful of finance writers who understand how the industry has reshaped America and helped create the strange\, often failing society we inhabit. And one cannot understand modern finance without understanding the character of the mad bond king Bill Gross. Well-researched and written with verve\, this is nothing short of a page-turner.” — Gary Shteyngart\, author of Our Country Friends and Lake Success

SUMMARY:Bach Society of Charleston Presents - Bachanalia: Mexico and the Music of Manuel de Sumaya
DESCRIPTION:The Bach Society of Charleston hosts their annual Bachanalia\, celebration and concert. This year’s theme is Mexico and the Music of Manuel de Sumaya\, the Bach of the Americas. Manuel de Sumaya (1678-1755) is a very close contemporary of J.S. Bach (1685-1750) and one of the few influential colonial composers of the period.  \nTickets to this event are $35 for General Admission and $30 for CLS and Bach Society members.\nTo purchase tickets\, click here or call 843-723-9912. \nIf you have any questions about this event\, please contact the Bach Society of Charleston by clicking here \n\n\nAbout this Event\nWhile Sumaya and Bach worked in very different environments – the former at the largest Catholic cathedral on the American continent amid a bustling\, multicultural colonial city\, and the latter in a Lutheran church that was more of a regional center – I would argue that we can think of them together as “church musicians” rather than “composers”. Both musicians were organists\, choir directors\, teachers\, and administrators in addition to their achievements as composers. Join Drew Edward Davies\, Associate Professor\, Musicology at Northwestern University and Bach Society of Charleston Artistic Director Ricard Bordas for an evening of wonderful music and discovery. \n\n\nAbout Bach Society of Charleston\nThe Mission of the Bach Society of Charleston is to enrich the Charleston community through presentation of exceptionally high-quality performances of the finest classical music in the repertoire\, with special emphasis on oratorio and large choral works\, world-class visiting artists\, and the sacred and secular music of Johann Sebastian Bach and his contemporaries from the Baroque and Early Classical periods. This Mission shall be achieved through presentation of the bi-annual Bach Festival and other musical events.

SUMMARY:"The Ultimate Bath" - A visual blueprint for readers looking to create rest\, refuge\, and beauty at home!
DESCRIPTION:Come have a Lite Lunch with us and Barbara Sallick\, cofounder of Waterworks\, the premier luxury brand of kitchen and bath fittings\, fixtures\, furniture\, and accessories. She will discuss beautifully curated collections of dream bathrooms designed by today’s top architects and interior designers\, from Commune to Suzanne Kasler.

With the renewed emphasis on the importance of home\, her new book takes bath design a step further. The Ultimate Bath devotes its elegantly illustrated chapters to the most luxuriously designed bathrooms from a wide-ranging list of contributors\, including Gil Schafer\, Nickey Kehoe\, Brigette Romanek\, and Miles Redd. These are baths that\, while grounded in timeless elements\, surprise and enchant. There are grand baths of high style with elegant mirrored and marble surfaces. There are bold rooms of rich maximalist pattern and color. There are strictly tailored spaces of great restraint and serenity. And finally\, there are baths with restorative views to the garden or forest—or in the middle of nature themselves. \nGathered together\, these spaces seduce\, delight\, and serve as a visual blueprint for readers looking to create rest\, refuge\, and beauty at home. The end result is a book that celebrates the unexpected and inspires readers to bring a magical quality to their own baths\, no matter how modest or grand. \nAbout Barbara Sallick:\nBarbara Sallick co-founded Waterworks—the premier luxury brand of kitchen and bath fittings\, fixtures\, furniture\, and accessories—with her husband\, Robert Sallick\, in 1978. She serves as the company’s senior vice president of design and is the author of Waterworks: Inventing Bath Style\, The Perfect Bath\, and The Perfect Kitchen. She is chair of the dean’s advisory council at Boston University’s Wheelock College of Education and Human Development\, serves as the honorary chair of Rooms with a View\, and is a member of the Decorators Club.

SUMMARY:CLS Book Club // Burning the Books
DESCRIPTION:Join us\, as we have invited Dr. Elisa Jones\, Assistant Professor of the College of Charleston\, to lead our Book Club conversation of Richard Ovenden’s\, Burning the Books: A History of the Deliberate Destruction of Knowledge. \n\nGiven Dr. Jones’ class\, Information Revolutions: The Radical History of Reading and Knowledge\, which mirrors Ovenden’s message in his pages – we welcome her to discuss the importance of freedom of speech\, the importance of educational access through libraries\, and the epitome of what societal dangers lurk when books and knowledge get stuck in the crosshairs. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe CLS Book Club has become a space for conversations about wide ranging topics\, but such a book\, so directly connected to a library’s mission\, has never been chosen. We hope that this book will provide an opportunity to discuss banned books\, freedom of speech\, educational access\, historical importance of librarianship\, and the power that libraries hold in the 21st century and beyond.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCLS Book Club is FREE\, in-person\, open to the public – no matter whether you’ve finished the book\, are thinking about starting it\, or couldn’t make it past the half-way point. All that is required is an RSVP.\nTo RSVP\, fill out the form at the bottom of the page. \nAbout the Book:\nLibraries have been attacked since ancient times but have been especially threatened in the modern era\, through war as well as willful neglect. Burning the Books describes the deliberate destruction of the knowledge safeguarded in libraries from Alexandria to Sarajevo\, from smashed Assyrian tablets to the torching of the Library of Congress. The director of the world-famous Bodleian Libraries\, Richard Ovenden\, captures the political\, religious\, and cultural motivations behind these acts. He also shines a light on the librarians and archivists preserving history and memory\, often risking their lives in the process. \nMore than simply repositories for knowledge\, libraries support the rule of law and inspire and inform citizens. Ovenden reminds us of their social and political importance\, challenging us to protect and support these essential institutions. \nAbout the Author:\nRichard Ovenden is Director of the Bodleian Libraries at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of Balliol College. He was awarded the Order of the British Empire in 2019\, is a member of the American Philosophical Society\, and serves as Treasurer of the Consortium of European Research Libraries and President of the Digital Preservation Coalition. \nAbout Elisa Jones:\nElisa J. Jones earned her Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. She specializes in French history and the history of rights\, with related research interests in the history of the book and censorship. Elisa’s book project The Right to Be Seen and Heard: Liberty of Conscience and the Practice of Citizenship in Early Modern France is a counter-intuitive history of liberty of conscience during the civil and religious wars in late sixteenth and early seventeenth century France known as the Wars of Religion. The unanswered questions this project addresses about how liberty of conscience functioned are nested within the current – and increasingly urgent – scholarly reassessment of the origin and nature of universal human rights. In addition to her two articles in progress\, Elisa is planning a new research project that approaches the relationship between religion\, liberties\, and civil authority through the conflicts over marriage and rape during the Wars of Religion. \nThrough her previous role as the Early Career Postdoctoral Fellow in the Center for Renaissance Studies at the Newberry Library\, Elisa is involved with several ongoing digital history and pedagogy projects. She is currently coordinating the development of a new digital resource for the Newberry’s vast digitized early modern French pamphlet collection\, as well as editing and developing content for the Newberry’s Digital Collections for the Classroom. Elisa has worked extensively in libraries and archives\, and has taken graduate courses at the School of Information Sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

SUMMARY:Lite Lunch with Media Mogul\, Zibby Owens
DESCRIPTION:Come join us for lunch on Friday\, October 21st at 12pm as we celebrate Zibby Owens\, author\, podcaster\, publisher\, CEO\, and mother of four! \nAt this Lite Lunch\, Owens will share with us her experience of her entrepreneur path – her perseverance\, talent\, and trust that consumers of her creative end product will engage in the conversation\, respectfully. She will reveal with us how that is not always the case and along the road to her success she has sacrificed a lot to achieve her goals. \nOwens is “driven by a sense of mission and purpose that fuels every minute of every day.” She feels compelled to leave the world in a better place than she found it. As a working mother\, wife\, and friend who is on (and paving) the path of media success\, she has admitted that sometimes this road feels very lonely – as she’s in the season of her career life where she can’t press pause. “It’s a lot. It requires a lot from my loved ones. But I hope\, in the end\, it matters. For me\, it is my life’s work. And I love it.” \nTickets are $25 for CLS members and $35 for guests. Free for students by calling the number listed below and showing a valid ID at check in (please note: boxed lunch not included with free admittance).\nTo purchase tickets\, click here or call 843-723-9912.\nOrder “Bookends” from Buxton Books in advance by clicking HERE. \nAbout Zibby Owens:\nZibby is the founder of Zibby Owens Media\, a privately-held media company designed to help busy people live their best lives by connecting to books and each other. The three divisions include Zibby Books\, a publishing house for fiction and memoir\, Zcast\, a podcast network powered by Acast including Zibby’s award-winning podcast Moms Don’t Have Time to Read Books\, and Moms Don’t Have Time To\, a new content and community site including Zibby’s Virtual Book Club\, events\, and the former Moms Don’t Have Time to Write. \nZibby Owens launched her top literary podcast (according to Oprah.com) Moms Don’t Have Time to Read Books in 2018. She has interviewed more than 900 authors\, including many celebrities (Natalie Portman\, Alicia Keys\, Lena Dunham)\, politicians (Hillary Clinton\, First Lady Jill Biden)\, athletes (Andre Agassi)\, chefs (Christina Tosi\, Kwame Onwuachi)\, notable business leaders (David Rubinstein\, Ray Dalio)\, physicians\, poets\, children’s book authors\, hundreds of New York Times bestselling and beloved novelists and memoirists\, and many debut authors looking to break out. \n\nShe is a regular columnist for Good Morning America and a frequent guest on morning news shows recommending books. \nEditor of two anthologies (Moms Don’t Have Time to Have Kids and Moms Don’t Have Time To: A Quarantine Anthology)\, a children’s book Princess Charming\, and now a memoir Bookends: A Memoir of Love\, Loss\, and Literature\, Zibby loves to write.
