SUMMARY:CLS Book Club // "Playground" by Richard Powers
DESCRIPTION:CLS Book Club is FREE\, in-person\, and open to the public—and also member-researched and led through thoughtfully curated discussion. Whether you’ve finished the book\, are thinking about starting it\, or couldn’t make it past the halfway point\, please join us. \nRSVP is required via the form below so that we can plan for seating. \nAbout Book Club \nOffered a few times a year\, the CLS Book Club seeks to explore various topics\, authors\, and diversity within its book selections. Under this objective\, Book Club also offers space for conversation\, perspectives\, and discourse to aptly deliver a synopsis on the panorama of characters and and narratives present in Playground. This Book Club will presented and presided over by a dynamic panel consisting of Diana Hambleton\, Clare Meyer\, Tina Wardrop and Susan Porter. After their exploration of the book\, the floor will open to questions and discussion. \nAbout the Book \n\n\n\n\n\nFour lives are drawn together in a sweeping\, panoramic new novel from Richard Powers\, showcasing the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Overstory at the height of his skills. Twelve-year-old Evie Beaulieu sinks to the bottom of a swimming pool in Montreal strapped to one of the world’s first aqualungs. Ina Aroita grows up on naval bases across the Pacific with art as her only home. Two polar opposites at an elite Chicago high school bond over a three-thousand-year-old board game; Rafi Young will get lost in literature\, while Todd Keane’s work will lead to a startling AI breakthrough. \nThey meet on the history-scarred island of Makatea in French Polynesia\, whose deposits of phosphorus once helped to feed the world. Now the tiny atoll has been chosen for humanity’s next adventure: a plan to send floating\, autonomous cities out onto the open sea. But first\, the island’s residents must vote to green light the project or turn the seasteaders away. \nSet in the world’s largest ocean\, this awe-filled book explores that last wild place we have yet to colonize in a still-unfolding oceanic game\, and interweaves beautiful writing\, rich characterization\, profound themes of technology and the environment\, and a deep exploration of our shared humanity in a way only Richard Powers can. \nPlease note that the authors of our selections ARE NOT in attendance.  \n\n\n\n\n\nFor a copy of the book\, check out our catalog here\, or shop local at Buxton Books.

SUMMARY:Marking 50 Years of Breakthrough Writing
DESCRIPTION:Both standouts for their time – fifty years ago\, to be exact – we’re celebrating the continued impact of bestselling books by Peter H. Wood and Theodore Rosengarten that showcased the endurance of enslaved people in early America\, transforming the a widespread understanding of early American history. Black Majority (Peter Wood)\, features a new epilogue in its recently revised fiftieth-anniversary edition that challenges a fresh generation with provocative history. All God’s Dangers (Theodore Rosengarten) may be a “forgotten autobiography” as re-highlighted by The New York Times already once before\, but it was the National Book Award Winner in 1975\, surpassing many others that came out in the same banner year for non-fiction. \nMore relevant and enlightening than ever\, these literary works tell the stories of colonial African American language\, culture\, and expertise – all of which form the critical fibers of our nation’s history. Theodore Rosengarten and Peter H. Wood will reflect on what they have learned since publishing their respective works\, discuss the future of the African American past\, and reveal how their work has shaped their careers as historians and authors. \nIf you are unable to attend the event\, but would like to purchase one or more signed copies\, please visit Buxton Books for copies of Black Majority and All God’s Dangers. \nAbout Peter H. Wood \nPeter H. Wood grew up in St. Louis and Baltimore\, earning degrees at Harvard and Oxford before teaching early American history at Duke University for nearly four decades. In 1974\, Alfred A. Knopf published his dissertation about enslavement in colonial South Carolina. W.W. Norton has recently published an updated 50th-anniversary edition of this pioneering book with the fresh title\, Black Majority: Race\, Rice\, and Rebellion in South Carolina\, 1670-1740. Wood is the author of Strange New Land: Africans in Colonial America and several books about the Black images of American artist Winslow Homer\, including Near Andersonville: Winslow Homer’s Civil War (Harvard University Press\, 2010). He is also the co-author of a widely-used college U.S. History text entitled Created Equal. He has served on the boards of Harvard University\, the Omohundro Institute of Early American History\, and the Highlander Education Center in East Tennessee. Dr. Wood now lives in Colorado with his wife\, Pulitzer-Prize-winning historian\, Elizabeth Fenn. Recently\, he co-authored an essay on slave-built canals in South Carolina before the Stono Rebellion. When not growing gourds\, he is writing a book entitled The Great Southern Blackout\, about the scope and consequences of two centuries of forced Black illiteracy across the South. \nAbout Black Majority \nFirst published in 1974\, Black Majority chronicles the crucial formative years of North America’s wealthiest and most tormented British colony. It explores how West African familiarity with rice determined the Lowcountry economy and how a skilled but enslaved labor force formed its own distinctive language and culture. While African American history often focuses on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries\, Black Majority underscores the significant role early African arrivals played in shaping the direction of American history. \nAbout Theodore Rosengarten \nTheodore Rosengarten is a writer\, teacher and a social activist from McClellanville\, South Carolina. Born in Brooklyn\, New York\, Ted got his AB from Amherst College\, and a PhD in The History of American Civilization\, from Harvard. Even as a child\, he was obsessed by the black struggle for justice and freedom and by the destruction of the Jews in Europe. His first book\, All God’s Dangers: The Life of Nate Shaw\, the oral history of an African American tenant farmer from Alabama\, won the National Book Award. His second book\, Tombee: Portrait of a Cotton Planter\, chronicles the life of an unsuccessful plantation owner from St. Helena Island\, South Carolina. This book won the National Book Critics Circle Award for best biography. Last year\, Yad Vashem Studies published Ted’s critical review of Steven T. Katz’s opus comparing the The Holocaust and New World Slavery. Ted taught for decades in the Jewish Studies Program at the College of Charleston and in the Honors College at the University of South Carolina. Since 2002\, Ted and his wife Dale have led a biennial study abroad to Poland\, Germany and The Netherlands called Tracing the Holocaust. Looking to unearth the past\, they encounter the new racial demography of European cities. \nAbout the All God’s Dangers \nNate Shaw’s father was born under slavery. Nate Shaw was born into a bondage that was only a little gentler. At the age of nine\, he was picking cotton for thirty-five cents an hour. At the age of forty-seven\, he faced down a crowd of white deputies who had come to confiscate a neighbor’s crop. His defiance cost him twelve years in prison. This triumphant autobiography\, assembled from the eighty-four-year-old Shaw’s oral reminiscences\, is the plain-spoken story of an “over-average” man who witnessed wrenching changes in the lives of Southern black people—and whose unassuming courage helped bring those changes about. \nPrior to the program\, We invite our Fellows Members to enjoy a Happy Hour from 5:00 – 6:00pm\, downstairs in the Dr. Suzan D. Boyd Fellows Club Lounge.

SUMMARY:Lite Lunch // Notes from an Admiral's Aide
DESCRIPTION:Lessons from a great leader are always taken to heart by their mentees\, and a select few life-changing lessons are never forgotten – and sometimes shared through compelling and inspiring publications thirty years later. As a Southern boy accustomed to the warmth of the Lowcountry and the tropical tendencies of the Florida Panhandle years later at aviator flight school\, the Bishop England grad was forced to adjust to the much colder temperatures in Maine when he landed the prestigious Admiral’s aide position\, a role so closely entangled with the Admiral that the aide must know and schedule all aspects of the leader’s life. Mark C. Fava\, a retired naval flight officer who once commanded three units as captain and accomplished aviation lawyer.  In his discussion with South Carolina Magistrate Judge Molly Cherry\, Fava will deliver insightful bits for driving leadership qualities forward that he learned from his time with the Admiral\, and share his fun read for all military veterans who cherished their time in uniform. \nIf you are unable to attend the event\, but would like to purchase one or more signed copies\, please visit Buxton Books here. \nAbout the Book \nAs the aide for a navy admiral more than thirty years ago\, Mark C. Fava learned valuable lessons that were formative in his development as a successful and thoughtful leader. Now a vice president at the world’s largest aerospace company and a career aviation lawyer\, Mark is sharing his wisdom in this entertaining and insightful behind-the-scenes look at the successes and failures of a young naval flight officer working every day for the Admiral and how the Admiral reacted as a great leader. \nMark’s stories will inspire you to unlock your leadership potential by applying lessons that will drive your leadership journey forward. An insightful guide for mid-career managers\, early career lawyers\, and junior military officers who aspire to be promoted. The lessons Mark shares have timeless value. They are just as meaningful today as they were over thirty years ago and have been the keys to Mark’s promotions in both the military and the legal profession throughout his career. \nLearning by observing both good and bad leaders is a solid strategy for professional development. The knowledge and insights you gain become part of your leadership fabric\, and the observations shape you into the impactful leader you aspire to be. Putting the knowledge you gain from this book into practice will make you stand out among your peers as a high performer. You will gain an understanding of how executives think and what they appreciate. You will be humble\, organized\, and thoughtful—and you will be identified as an emerging leader. \nAbout the Author \nMark C. Fava is a career aviation lawyer and retired naval flight officer. He is a prolific writer and entertaining speaker. Mark retired from the US Navy as a captain having commanded three units\, including an aviation squadron.

DESCRIPTION:With the continued success of its relaunch early last year\, look forward to Life-long Learning returning seasonally in a daytime format. \nAs the rules for identification of species became more defined and scientific methods more advanced\, our natural history has become easier to study\, understand\, and appreciate. We owe this process of discovery to a finite group of people personally vested in their environments across centuries. Join Layton Register for a deeper look at the influence of Mark Catesby\, Hans Sloane\, Carl Linnaeus\, John Bartram\, William Bartram\, Alexander Wilson\, Thomas Jefferson\, George Cuvier\, John Bachman\, John James Audubon\, and Charles Darwin. \nDATES: February 3rd\, 10th\, 17th\, 24th – March 3rd & 10th. \nCourse Time: 10:30am-12:00pm\, Mondays \nTickets:  Sold only as a six-week course (Seating is limited to 30) \nAbout Layton Register: \nLayton Register was born in Lexington\, Kentucky. He grew up on a farm outside of town that his mother and father operated for breeding and raising Thoroughbred racehorses. After graduating from Washington and Lee University\, Register spent most of his working career involved with Thoroughbred breeding and racing and in property management as well as coaching tennis. Register moved from Kentucky to Charleston five years ago and has been working as a certified tour guide for Walk and Talk Charleston\, as well as a volunteer for the Charleston Parks Conservancy and the Charleston Library Society. As an avid birdwatcher\, his dedicated interest in the world of birds inevitably led Register to the life and work of John James Audubon\, inspiring an imminent book titled Birdwatching (and Counting Birds) With John James Audubon: Where Have All the Birds Gone?

SUMMARY:Cuba's Creative Class
DESCRIPTION:We can go\, we can’t go. The ping pong of access to Cuba has always been a game of chance\, and if you’ve had the opportunity to go\, navigating once there an unknown. Known as the “Pearl of the Antilles\,” Cuba remains a Caribbean island nation with the creative vitality that comes from an extraordinary legacy of African\, Indigenous\, Spanish\, and French influences over four centuries. Its charming cities are plentiful in artistic and architectural heritage\, where artisans\, thought leaders and creative entrepreneurs are working diligently to preserve and sustain Havana’s cultural legacy. Join Hermes Mallea\, architect and member of a Cuban-American family\, for a first-hand account of the cultural ebullience of Cuba that comes from his passion for exposing the incredible entrepreneurialism at play despite the economic challenges.  An architect by trade\, but also author of three books: Great Houses of Havana; Escape: The Heyday of Caribbean Glamour; and Havana Living Today: Cuban Home Style Now\, Mallea will dive into a verbal tour of Cuba and the importance of its preservation. \nIf you are unable to attend the event but would like to purchase one or more signed copies\, please visit Buxton Books here. \nAbout Hermes Mallea \nArchitect Hermes Mallea is the author of “Great Houses of Havana\, A Century of Cuban Style”\, (The Monacelli Press\, 2011) which is currently in its third printing and of ESCAPE\, The Heyday of Caribbean Glamour”. “(Rizzoli 2014)\,  Mallea’s latest book\, “Havana Living Today/ Cuban Homestyle Now” (Rizzoli) celebrates homeowners’ individual flair and resourcefulness\, taking the reader inside a world that foreign visitors and most Cubans have never seen. Mallea has presented his books at venues across the United States and is a lecturer annually for visitors to Havana. He has presented papers on historic Cuban family life at Havana’s annual Jornadas Tecnicas de Arquitectura Vernacula in 2010 and in 2009 and the 2013 International Art Deco Congress in Havana.
