SUMMARY:Book Launch Exclusive // Roger Jones ~ "The Final Victory"
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the pub week debut of The Final Victory by Roger Jones: a novel that fuses the riveting action of The Boys in the Boat with the emotional heft of The Fault in Our Stars\, twenty cancer patients compete in a grueling race only to discover that real victory is achieved within. Jones\, a Dragon Boat enthusiast himself\, will shed light on the novel that was inspired by true events and whose story continues to inspire paddlers and non-paddlers alike to dig deep\, give back\, and have fun. \n“What is courage? In this notable debut\, Roger Jones explores the strength\, resilience\, compassion\, and willpower of a band of athletes who define courage and triumph over unspeakable odds. These twenty men and women overcome cancer to not merely win a national championship but to survive. I laughed. I cried. I was inspired. The Final Victory is an uplifting novel we all need to read.”\n– Mary Alice Monroe\, New York Times bestselling author \nTickets: Purchase HERE \n$10 – Members or $15 – General Admission \nAbout The Final Victory \nA proud man humbled by his recent diagnosis of neuroendocrine cancer and his past mistakes\, Tripp Avery reluctantly agrees to coach a paddling team in a bid to win the Mixed Masters Dragon Boat US national championship. In his boat: twelve men and eight women who all have cancer diagnoses as debilitating as his. Eager to defy his prognosis and prove his worth\, Tripp pushes himself and his team to physical and emotional extremes. \nAs the races begin in the Tennessee summer heat\, four teammates’ extreme physical challenges stand out: \nSean Riley\, suffering from advanced colon cancer. \nPat Selensky\, whose life-threatening treatments for ovarian cancer test her passion to live. \nThomas Huger\, ex-All-American college football player\, coping with jaw cancer and a humbling dependence on a feeding tube. \nBrooke Wyche\, whose chemotherapy treatments for breast cancer have weakened her body. \nAfter losing a critical race\, Tripp doubles down\, but his overbearing coaching brings Brooke to the point of collapse and sends Thomas to the hospital. Facing this crisis\, Tripp must confront his own demons in order to help his teammates forge a comeback. But with Thomas in critical condition and the other paddlers flagging\, the team’s chances to win the national championship are slim. \nA debut novel that is equal parts thrilling and inspiring\, THE FINAL VICTORY is the heart-wrenching story of twenty brave men and women confronting adversity\, facing death\, and striving together for the ultimate triumph. \nAbout Roger Jones \nRoger Jones\, businessman\, philanthropist\, humanitarian and avid athlete has founded numerous business and community organizations.

SUMMARY:Documentary Series // "The Rough South of Larry Brown"
DESCRIPTION:Join the Library Society for a film screen of The Rough South of Larry Brown\,  a 2002 documentary on the life and works of an Oxford\, Mississippi Fireman-turned-writer (Brown)\, examined in a unique format that incorporates narrative film adaptations of three of his short stories: Samaritans\, Wild Thing\, and Boy & Dog. Gary Hawkins\, director and writer of The Rough South of Larry Brown will join us for this exclusive screening and will lead a discussion after the film. \nJoin us on Wednesday\, May 1\, from 6:00pm–8:00pm for a special screening of The Rough South of Larry Brown. \nTickets: Members $10\, General Admission $15 \nClick here or call 843.723.9912 during office hours (Monday–Thursday\, 11:00am to 4:00pm) to purchase tickets. \nAbout The Film \nProduced by independent filmmaker Gary Hawkins\, the award-winning documentary The Rough South of Larry Brown offers a glimpse into Brown’s life and work as well as the milieu of Northern Mississippi. The documentary is the result of film adaptations of Brown’s three short stories: Boy and Dog\, Wild Thing\, and Samaritans. Hawkins captured sincere and revealing comments from both Larry and his wife Mary Annie Brown\, who offered genuine insights into what it was like to be Larry Brown the fiction writer. The Rough South of Larry Brown premiered at the 2002 Full Frame Documentary Film Festival in Durham\, North Carolina\, and subsequently entered it into a number of regional film festivals. The documentary won several awards\, including an Off-Hollywood Oscar for Best Feature Film at the 2002 Ohio Independent Film Festival\, Best Feature at the 2002 Savannah Film and Video Festival\, and Best Documentary at the 2003 Oxford\, Mississippi Film Festival. Brown died in November 2004 and was buried at Tula\, Mississippi. \nAbout the Filmmaker \nGary Hawkins was born and raised on a farm in Trinity\, North Carolina. His first film – produced when he was 17 – featured his grandmother making her “world famous” fried apple pies. The film was called DRIED\, FRIED\, AND LAID TO THE SIDE. He followed up DRIED\, FRIED with THREADBARE\, a quiet meditation on the sunlight dapples that animated his grandmother’s quilts. His third film captured a violent thunderstorm at night. \nHawkins continued to make films on a wide range of subjects throughout his 20s. His breakthrough doc\, THE ROUGH SOUTH OF HARRY CREWS debuted on UNC-TV in 1989\, and went on to win several awards\, including an Emmy Award. The CREWS bio is currently being restored for inclusion in the Criterion Collection.  His next ROUGH SOUTH entry was THE ROUGH SOUTH OF LARRY BROWN. Cited by the Oxford American as “an essential Southern documentary\,” the BROWN doc won several awards at top tier festivals and enjoyed a lengthy run on French television. \nHawkins experimental short\, ZERO IRONY (assembled from decades-old footage of his grandmother’s farm) premiered at the Rotterdam International Film Festival in 2015\, and was subsequently invited to the Edinburgh and 46th Poetry International film festivals. ZERO IRONY can be seen on the Labocine website\, a hybrid streaming platform designed to showcase science in cinema. \nHawkins jazz doc\, IN MY MIND\, premiered at the Kennedy Center in 2010\, then made a run through the festival circuit that culminated in a screening and discussion at the\nNational Gallery of Art in 2015. IN MY MIND is a collaboration with jazz pianist\, Jason Moran that deconstructs his tribute to Thelonious Monk’s infamous 1959 Town Hall concert. Championed by art historian\, Christian Delage\, IN MY MIND enjoyed a 2022 run through France that concluded with a special screening at La Filmothèque du Quartier Latin in Paris. \nHawkins is a screenwriter and a 2000 Sundance Fellow (for an unproduced screenplay called DOWNTIME). He also wrote the screenplay for JOE\, starring Nicolas Cage and Tye Sheridan. JOE received accolades at the Vienna\, Deauville\, Munich\, and Edinburgh festivals\, and recently enjoyed a resurgence on HBO. Hawkins is currently at work on a coming-of-age series for Rough House Pictures called ZONA ROSA. Based in part on true events\, ZONA ROSA is a rowdy\, coming-of-age drama set in a Texas border town\, circa 1989. \nHawkins is one of the original founders of the UNC School of Filmmaking. His most successful directing students are David Gordon Green (GEORGE WASHINGTON\, PINEAPPLE EXPRESS)\, Jeff Nichols (MUD\, THE BIKERIDERS)\, and Craig Zobel (COMPLIANCE\, MARE OF EASTTOWN). In 2010 Hawkins was picked by Variety Magazine as one of the top ten filmmaking instructors in America. \nCurrently\, Hawkins teaches screenwriting and nonfiction filmmaking at Duke University\, where he is ranked in the top 5% of all humanities instructors.

But Stella is hardly cut out for adventure; a childhood trauma has kept her confined to the strict routines of her comfort zone. When her boss encourages her to take time off\, Stella resigns herself to honoring her mother’s last wishes.\nAlone in a foreign city\, Stella falls into old habits\, living cautiously and frugally. Then she stumbles across a vintage store where she tries on a fabulous Dior dress. The shopkeeper insists that this dress was meant for Stella and\, for the first time in her life\, Stella does something impulsive. She buys the dress and together they embark on an adventure. Her first stop: iconic brasserie Les Deux Magots\, where Stella tastes her first oysters\, and then meets an octogenarian art collector who decides to take her under his wing. As Jules introduces her to a veritable who’s who of the 1980s Paris literary\, art\, and culinary worlds\, Stella begins to understand what it might mean to live a larger life.  As weeks—and many decadent meals—go by\, Stella ends up living as a “tumbleweed” at famed bookstore Shakespeare & Company\, uncovers a hundred-year-old mystery in a Manet painting\, and discovers a passion for food that may be connected to her past. A feast for the senses\, this novel is a testament to living deliciously\, taking chances\, and finding your true home. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nRuth Reichl: The New York Times bestselling author of five memoirs\, the novel Delicious!\, and the cookbook My Kitchen Year. She was editor in chief of Gourmet magazine\, and previously served as restaurant critic for The New York Times\, as well as food editor and restaurant critic for the Los Angeles Times.

SUMMARY:Music Series // Brazilian Bossa at the Library with Porto Seguro
DESCRIPTION:Join the Library Society to welcome back Porto Seguro\, a six-person band playing Brazilian samba\, bossa nova\, and choro genres: mellow music with a soulful vibe\, like a great cup of coffee – and the band’s blend is Brazilian with upbeat American energy. \nJazz vocalist\, Alva Anderson\, has been Port Seguro’s headlining performer since 2020. Her soulful interpretations and captivating interpretations bring even more energy to the show than when the band last appeared at the Library Society in 2019. Other members include: Susan Conant on flutes\, John Holenko on mandolin\, Tom Noren on guitar\, John Kennedy on bass\, and Josh Hoover on drums. \nTickets*: PURCHASE HERE \n$25 – Members or $35 – General Admission \nAbout the Band: \nPorto Seguro and vocalist\, Alva Anderson\, love sharing their enthusiasm for Brazilian music with audiences. The core members (Susan Conant\, flutes; John Holenko\, mandolins; Tom Noren\, guitar; and John Kennedy\, bass) started jamming together in 2014 on choro\, a lighthearted mix of Afro and European influences from early 20th century Brazil. In 2019 they were thrilled to have Alva Anderson sit in on a few sets. She immediately became the band’s headliner adding her expert jazz vocals and soulful spirit to the group. Along with Alva\, the group added drums bringing together a sound that leans heavily into Brazilian samba and bossa classics. The result was magic! Their lively shows now include well-known favorites (think Tom Jobim\, One Note Samba\, Girl from Ipanema) combined with lesser-known but equally wonderful gems of bossa nova (Brazil’s distinctive contribution to jazz) and samba (the raucous music of Carnival). The group has appeared for two full seasons at Charleston’s Forte Jazz Lounge\, and numerous local festivals and concert series including Concerts at the Library (Charleston Library Society)\, Piccolo Spoleto\, North Charleston Arts Festival\, Music on Sunday (Greenville\, SC)\, Music on Malphrus (Bluffton\, SC) and the Gage Hall Coffeehouse.

DESCRIPTION:The Charleston Library Society and Buxton Books\, along with community partners Lowcountry Land Trust and the SC Historical Society\, are honored to host renowned author and historian Dr. Edda Fields-Black in conversation to discuss her most recent publication\, COMBEE: Harriet Tubman\, the Combahee River Raid\, and Black Freedom during the Civil War. In her book\, Dr. Fields-Black dives into the story of the Combahee River Raid\, one of Harriet Tubman’s most extraordinary accomplishments\, based on original documents written by a descendant of one of the participants. Helping to shape the conversation will be Chief Conservation Officer of the Lowcountry Land Trust\, David Ray. \nSee below for Event Partners.  \nTickets*: Purchase HERE \n$10 – Members \n$15 – General Admission \n$50 – Members (Ticket includes 1 signed copy of COMBEE: Harriet Tubman\, the Combahee River Raid\, and Black Freedom during the Civil War) \n$55 – General Admission (Ticket includes 1 signed copy of COMBEE) \n$60 – Limited Option (Includes 2 Tickets and 1 signed copy of COMBEE) \nAbout the Book: \nMany biographies\, children’s books\, and films about Harriet Tubman omit a crucial chapter: during the Civil War\, hired by the Union Army\, she ventured into the heart of slave territory–Beaufort\, South Carolina–to live\, work\, and gather intelligence for a daring raid up the Combahee River to attack the major plantations of Rice Country\, the breadbasket of the Confederacy. \nIn COMBEE\, Edda L. Fields-Black–herself a descendant of one of the participants in the raid–shows how Tubman commanded a ring of spies\, scouts\, and pilots and participated in military expeditions behind Confederate lines. On June 2\, 1863\, Tubman and her crew led two regiments of Black US Army soldiers – the Second South Carolina Volunteers – alone with their white commanders up coastal South Carolina’s Combahee River in three gunboats. In a matter of hours\, they torched eight rice plantations and liberated 730 people\, people whose Lowcountry Creole language and culture Tubman could barely understand. The Second South Carolina Volunteers included a core group of black men who had liberated themselves from bondage on South Carolina’s Sea Island cotton plantations after the Battle of Port Royal in November 1861. In recounting this history\, Fields-Black also brings to life intergenerational\, extended enslaved families\, neighbors\, praise-house members\, and sweethearts forced to work in South Carolina’s deadly tidal rice swamps\, sold\, and separated during the antebellum period. These formerly enslaved peoples of the Sea Island indigo and cotton plantations come together with the semi-urban port cities of Charleston\, Beaufort\, and Savannah\, and the rice plantations of the coastal plains\, creating the distinctly American Gullah Geechee dialect\, culture\, and identity–perhaps the most significant legacy of Harriet Tubman’s Combahee River Raid. \nAbout Dr. Edda Fields-Black: \nEdda Fields-Black teaches history at Carnegie Mellon University and has written extensively about the history of West African rice farmers\, including in such works as Deep Roots: Rice Farmers in West Africa and the African Diaspora. She was a co-editor of Rice: Global Networks and New Histories\, which was selected as a Choice Outstanding Academic Title. Fields-Black has served as a consultant for the Smithsonian National Museum of African-American History and Culture’s permanent exhibit\, “Rice Fields of the Lowcountry.” She is the executive producer and librettist of “Unburied\, Unmourned\, Unmarked: Requiem for Rice\,” a widely performed original contemporary classical work by celebrated composer John Wineglass. \nFields-Black is a descendant of Africans enslaved on rice plantations in Colleton County\, South Carolina; her great-great-great grandfather fought in the Combahee River Raid in June 1863. Her determination to illuminate the riches of the Gullah dialect\, and to reclaim Gullah Geechee history and culture\, has taken her to the rice fields of South Carolina and Georgia to those of Sierra Leone and Republic of Guinea in West Africa. \nAbout David Ray: \nDavid Ray is Lowcountry Land Trust’s Chief Conservation Officer. His team protects land and water in South Carolina’s coastal plain using traditional and innovative tools and funding. They steward a wide variety of conservation interests and works with communities to preserve places of natural resource\, recreational\, and cultural significance.

During his career\, he has played a significant role in over sixty conservation projects on more than 48\,500 acres. \n  \nEvent Partners \nLowcountry Land Trust: \nFounded in 1986\, Lowcountry Land Trust has worked for 37 years protecting land that makes coastal South Carolina extraordinary and sustains the culture that thrives within it. Operating in seventeen coastal counties\, Lowcountry Land Trust has grown from a small community effort that rallied to protect an island on the Stono River to an institution that protects more than 150\,000 acres. Protecting and maintaining our natural resources by avoiding overdevelopment is crucial to the continued enjoyment of the Lowcountry for generations to come. In addition to Lowcountry Land Trust’s conservation easements held and privately owned lands\, LLT owns and protects publicly-accessible properties that are in direct harmony with the culture and values of the Lowcountry.

SUMMARY:Book Tour Exclusive // Hampton Sides ~ "The Wide Wide Sea"
DESCRIPTION:The Library Society is honored to welcome back renowned American historian\, author\, and journalist Hampton Sides for a book tour exclusive on his most recent historical narrative The Wide Wide Sea. Best-known for his gripping non-fiction adventure stories set in war or depicting epic expeditions of discovery and exploration\, Sides is the author of the bestselling histories Ghost Soldiers\, Blood and Thunder\, Hellhound On His Trail\, and In the Kingdom of Ice\, which recounts the heroic polar voyage of the U.S.S. Jeannette during the Gilded Age. \nAt once a ferociously-paced story of adventure on the high seas and a searching examination of the complexities and consequences of the Age of Exploration\, The Wide Wide Sea is a major work from one of the finest narrative nonfiction writers.  To help shape the conversation\, Sides will be joined in conversation by fellow acclaimed historical narrative author\, James Scott. \nOn The Wide Wide Sea: \n“This exquisitely crafted and novelistic portrait of the mercurial captain enthralls.”\n— Publishers Weekly\, (starred) \n“Beautifully written and impeccably researched\, The Wide Wide Sea will delight readers new to the topic as well as those versed in earlier looks at James Cook and his milieu.”\n— Booklist \nJoin the Library Society as we welcome Sides during his East Coast tour and dive deeper into his tale of the most thrilling time of human exploration. \nTickets*: PURCHASE HERE \n$10 – Members or $15 – General Admission \nNOTE: If you are unable to attend the program\, and wish to secure a signed copy (or copies!)\, please pre-order through the following link: The Wide Wide Sea or call Buxton Books at (843) 723-1670. \nAbout The Book:  \nFrom New York Times bestselling author Hampton Sides\, an epic account of the most momentous voyage of the Age of Exploration\, which culminated in Captain James Cook’s death in Hawaii\, and left a complex and controversial legacy still debated to this day. On July 12th\, 1776\, Captain James Cook\, already lionized as the greatest explorer in British history\, set off on his third voyage in his ship the HMS Resolution. Two-and-a-half years later\, on a beach on the island of Hawaii\, Cook was killed in a conflict with native Hawaiians. How did Cook\, who was unique among captains for his respect for Indigenous peoples and cultures\, come to that fatal moment?\n\nHampton Sides’ bravura account of Cook’s last journey both wrestles with Cook’s legacy and provides a thrilling narrative of the titanic efforts and continual danger that characterized exploration in the 1700s. Cook was renowned for his peerless seamanship\, his humane leadership\, and his dedication to science\, and was also deeply interested in the native people he encountered. He treated his crew well and endeavored to learn about the societies he encountered with curiosity and without judgment. Yet something was different on this last voyage. Cook became mercurial\, ordering violent retaliation on native peoples\, resorting to the lash to enforce discipline\, and leading his two vessels into danger time and again. This may have had something to do with his secret orders\, which were to chart and claim lands before Britain’s imperial rivals could\, and to discover the fabled Northwest Passage. The tensions between Cook’s overt and covert missions came to a head on the shores of Hawaii. His first landing there was harmonious\, but when Cook returned after mapping the coast of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska\, his exploitative treatment of the Hawaiians led to the fatal encounter. \nAbout Hampton Sides: \nHampton Sides is best known for his gripping non-fiction adventure stories set in war or depicting epic expeditions of exploration. His most recent work\, The Wide Wide Sea: Imperial Ambition\, First Contact and the Fateful Final Voyage of Captain James Cook\, will be published in April 2024 from Doubleday. Hampton has been a contributor to Outside\, National Geographic\, Smithsonian\, The New Yorker\, The Wall Street Journal\, The New York Times\, and many other newspapers and magazines. His journalistic work\, collected in numerous published anthologies\, has been twice nominated for National Magazine Awards for feature writing. A native of Memphis and a Yale graduate\, Hampton is a board member of the Society of American Historians and the Author’s Guild\, and he was a recent Miller Distinguished Scholar at the Santa Fe Institute. He has been a resident fellow at Yaddo\, the MacDowell Colony\, the Aspen Institute\, the Ucross Foundation\, and Stanford University. He has an honorary doctorate in humane letters from Colorado College. Hampton lives in Santa Fe\, New Mexico. \nAbout James Scott  \nA former Nieman Fellow at Harvard\, James M. Scott is the author of Rampage\, which was named one of the Best Books of 2018 by the editors at Amazon\, Kirkus\, and Military Times and was chosen as a finalist for the prestigious Gilder Lehrman Prize for Military History by the New York Historical Society. His other works include Target Tokyo\, a 2016 Pulitzer Prize finalist\, The War Below\, and The Attack on the Liberty\, which won the Rear Admiral Samuel Eliot Morison Award. Scott lives with his wife and two children in Mt. Pleasant\, SC.

SUMMARY:Lite Lunch // Dana Mattioli ~ The Everything War
DESCRIPTION:From veteran Amazon reporter for The Wall Street Journal\, The Everything War is the first untold\, devastating exposé of Amazon’s endless strategic greed\, from destroying Main Street to remaking corporate power\, in pursuit of total domination\, by any means necessary. Dana Mattioli has been a reporter for The Wall Street Journal since 2006\, has written investigative pieces and front-page stories about Amazon since 2019\, and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Investigative Journalism for her work on Amazon. Join the Library Society and Buxton Books to welcome Dana in discussion with Rob Copeland\, a finance reporter for the New York Times and the author of the New York Times bestseller “The Fund: Ray Dalio\, Bridgewater Associates and the Unraveling of a Wall Street Legend”\, diving into the definitive\, inside story of how Amazon grew into one of the most powerful and feared companies in the world. \nTickets*: PURCHASE HERE \n$25 – Members or $35 – General Admission \nNOTE: If you are unable to attend the program\, and wish to secure a signed copy (or copies!)\, please pre-order through the following link: The Everything War or call Buxton Books at (843) 723-1670 \nThis is a collaborative event with Buxton Books\, guest information such as email and name will be shared between both parties for promotional purposes only. \nAbout the Book: \nIn 2017\, Lina Khan published a paper that accused Amazon of being a monopoly\, having grown so large\, and embedded in so many industries\, it was akin to a modern-day Standard Oil. Unlike Rockefeller’s empire\, however\, Bezos’s company had grown voraciously without much scrutiny. In fact\, for over twenty years\, Amazon had emerged as a Wall Street darling and its “customer obsession” approach made it indelibly attractive to consumers across the globe. However\, the company was not benevolent; it operated in ways that ensured it stayed on top. Lina Khan’s paper would light a fire in Washington\, and in a matter of years\, she would become the head of the FTC. In 2023\, the FTC filed a monopoly lawsuit against Amazon in what may become one of the largest antitrust cases in the 21st century. \nWith unparalleled access\, and having interviewed hundreds of people – from Amazon executives to competitors to small businesses who rely on its marketplace to survive – Mattioli exposes how Amazon was driven by a competitive edge to dominate every industry it entered\, bulldozed all who stood in its way\, reshaped the retail landscape\, transformed how Wall Street evaluates companies\, and altered the very nature of the global economy. It has come to control most of online retail and uses its own sellers’ data to compete with them through Amazon’s own private label brands. Millions of companies and governmental agencies use AWS\, paying hefty fees for the service. And\, the company has purposefully avoided collecting taxes for years\, exploited partners\, and even copied competitors—leveraging its power to extract whatever it can\, at any cost. It has continued to gain market share in disparate areas\, from media to logistics and beyond. Most companies dominate one or two industries; Amazon now leads in several. And all of this was by design. \nAbout Dana Mattioli: \nDana’s Amazon coverage received the 2021 Gerald Loeb Award for Beat Reporting. In 2021\, she received the WERT Prize\, an award from the Women’s Economic Round Table that honors excellence in comprehensively reported business journalism for her Amazon investigations\, and received a Front Page Award for her Amazon coverage. Prior to covering Amazon\, Dana held one of the WSJ’s highest-profile beats covering mergers & acquisitions. During her 16-year career at WSJ she has produced a string of investigatiothe evens and Page One stories on CEOs\, boards of directors\, technology companies\, and retailers. Dana is the recipient of a second Gerald Loeb award for breaking news\, the SABEW breaking news award\, two New York Press Club awards and was a finalist for the Larry Birger Young Business Journalist Award. Dana has appeared on CNBC\,  Good Morning America\, Fox Business News\, and Cheddar. She was the subject of a Wall Street Journal advertisement campaign about how the newspaper’s highest-profile stories came together. \nAbout Rob Copeland:\nRob Copeland is a finance reporter for the New York Times. He was previously the longtime hedge-fund beat reporter at the Wall Street Journal\, and has also covered Silicon Valley and the hidden worlds of the wealthy and powerful. His front-page investigations into Bridgewater Associates won a New York Press Club award; he was also awarded an honorable mention twice by the Society of American Business Writers (SABEW) and was named a News Media Alliance “Rising Star” (formerly Top 30 Under 30). He has appeared on ABC’s “Good Morning America\,” NPR and other major news networks.

SUMMARY:The Cold War: Modernist Architecture as Diplomacy
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Charleston Library Society in welcoming Author David B. Peterson\, Executive Director of the Onera Foundation\, a private foundation dedicated to supporting historic preservation in the United States. Peterson will discuss his new book US Embassies of the Cold War: the Architecture of Democracy\, Diplomacy and Defense. The lecture will dive into the details of how during the Cold War\, the US State Department used modern architecture as a powerful form of cultural diplomacy\, designing embassies to express the American ideals of a progressive\, democratic society. Peterson will expand on the little-known story of the US State Department’s bid to win international hearts and minds through the strategic use of modernist architecture and cultural diplomacy at the height of the international conflict between communism and democracy.  \nTickets*: PURCHASE HERE \n$10 – Members or $15 – General Admission  \nAbout the Book: \nUS Embassies of the Cold War: the Architecture of Democracy\, Diplomacy and Defense is a large-format\, photo-driven book featuring the fourteen most significant midcentury modern American Embassies designed by leading architects\, including; Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius\, Marcel Breuer\, Eero Saarinen\, Edward Durell Stone. The Cold War embassies are being decommissioned and sold\, replaced by high-security compounds. The book is available at OneraFoundation.org. All proceeds from book sales will benefit the Onera Foundation and its mission to inform and engage the public about historic preservation and significant architecture. \n“This book is an open-eyed investigation into the results of the unlikely meeting between progressive culture and public policy at a particular moment in time. With an extraordinary collection of photographs and graphics not seen elsewhere\, Peterson enables us to know that past\, reckon with what was once significant\, and learn about options that may exist today or tomorrow in a rapidly changing global landscape.” -Historian and author Jane Loeffler\, Ph.D  \nAbout David B.

SUMMARY:CLS Book Club // "North Woods" by Daniel Mason
DESCRIPTION:CLS Book Club is FREE\, in-person\, and open to the public—whether you’ve finished the book\, are thinking about starting it\, or couldn’t make it past the halfway point. All that is required is an RSVP via the form below.  \nPlease note the author will not be in attendance.  \nAbout the Program: \nOffered a few times a year\, the CLS Book Club seeks to explore a wide range of topics\, authors and diversity within its book selections. Under this objective\, the Book Club also offers space for conversation\, perspectives and discourse. \nThis meeting of the CLS Book Club will be presented by the ambitious duo\, Susan DiCamillo and Tina Wardrop. Julian Buxton (Author of Ghosts of Charleston) will weigh in on the paranormal aspects of the Book\, after which the floor will open to discussion. \nAbout the Book:\nWhen two young lovers abscond from a Puritan colony\, little do they know that their humble cabin in the woods will become the home of an extraordinary succession of human and nonhuman characters alike. An English soldier\, destined for glory\, abandons the battlefields of the New World to devote himself to growing apples. A pair of spinster twins navigate war and famine\, envy and desire. A crime reporter unearths an ancient mass grave—only to discover that the earth refuse to give up their secrets. A lovelorn painter\, a sinister con man\, a stalking panther\, a lusty beetle: As the inhabitants confront the wonder and mystery around them\, they begin to realize that the dark\, raucous\, beautiful past is very much alive. \nThis magisterial and highly inventive novel from Pulitzer Prize finalist Daniel Mason brims with love and madness\, humor and hope. Following the cycles of history\, nature\, and even language\, North Woods shows the myriad\, magical ways in which we’re connected to our environment\, to history\, and to one another. It is not just an unforgettable novel about secrets and destinies\, but a way of looking at the world that asks the timeless question: How do we live on\, even after we’re gone? \nFor a copy of the book\, check out our catalog here\, or shop local at Buxton Books.
