SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Andrea Wulf
DESCRIPTION:To RSVP to this event\, please call (843) 723-9912 or email mstokenberry@charlestonlibrarysociety.org \nIn collaboration with Middleton Place\, renowned horticultural writer\, Andrea Wulf will speak about the extraordinary life of the visionary German naturalist Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) and how he created the way we understand nature today. \nTo RSVP- call (843) 723-9912 or email mstokenberry@charlestonlibrarysociety.org \n‘The Invention of Nature. Alexander von Humboldt’s New World’ \nAndrea Wulf reveals in her new book the extraordinary life of the visionary German naturalist Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) and how he created the way we understand nature today. Though almost forgotten today\, his name lingers everywhere from the Humboldt Current to the Humboldt penguin. Humboldt was an intrepid explorer and the most famous scientist of his age. His restless life was packed with adventure and discovery\, whether climbing the highest volcanoes in the world or racing through anthrax–infested Siberia. Perceiving nature as an interconnected global force\, Humboldt discovered similarities between climate zones across the world and predicted human-induced climate change. He turned scientific observation into poetic narrative\, and his writings inspired naturalists and poets such as Darwin\, Wordsworth and Goethe but also politicians such as Jefferson. Wulf also argues that it was Humboldt’s influence that led John Muir to his ideas of preservation and that shaped Thoreau’s ‘Walden’. Wulf traces Humboldt’s influences through the great minds he inspired in revolution\, evolution\, ecology\, conservation\, art and literature.  In The Invention of Nature Wulf brings this lost hero to science and the forgotten father of environmentalism back to life. \n\nAUTHOR BIO: \nAndrea Wulf was born in India\, moved to Germany as a child\, and now lives in Britain. She is the author of several acclaimed books. ‘The Brother Gardeners’ won the American Horticultural Society 2010 Book Award and was long-listed for the Samuel Johnson Prize 2008. Her book ‘Founding Gardeners’ was on the New York Times Best Seller List. Andrea has written for many newspapers including the Guardian\, LA Times and New York Times. She was the Eccles British Library Writer in Residence 2013 and a three-time fellow of the International Center for Jefferson Studies at Monticello. In 2014 she co-presented a four-part BBC TV garden series and she appears regularly on radio.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Cynthia Mestad Johnson
DESCRIPTION:To RSVP to this event please call (843) 723-9912 or email mstokenberry@charlestonlibrarysociety.org \nOver thirty thousand slaves were brought to the shores of colonial America on ships owned and captained by James DeWolf. When the United States took action to abolish slavery\, this Bristol native manipulated the legal system and became actively involved in Rhode Island politics in order to pursue his trading ventures. He served as a member of the House of Representatives in the state of Rhode Island and as a United States senator\, all while continuing the slave trade years after passage of the Federal Slave Trade Act of 1808. DeWolf’s political power and central role in sustaining the state’s economy allowed him to evade prosecution from local and federal authorities–even on counts of murder. Through archival records\, author Cynthia Mestad Johnson uncovers the secrets of James DeWolf and tells an unsettling story of corruption and exploitation in the Ocean State from slave ships to politics. \nThis event is open to the public\, but we encourage all members of the Library Society and friends and supporters of Historic Charleston Foundation to come to this compelling event. \nThe talk will begin promptly at 6:00 PM and last roughly an hour.

SUMMARY:Wide Angle Lunch Series XI Season Pass
DESCRIPTION:Save on the series by buying a Season Pass for all 5 sessions. \nFor tix- click here. \nThese are historic times for Charleston. This summer\, our city bore witness to an act that recalled its darkest days: the racially-motivated massacre of nine African-American parishioners and community leaders in the state’s most historic Black church. \nSince that horrific June night\, much has shown that this is not the past. Love and support and flowers and money and food have flooded the city and Mother Emanuel A.M.E. Church in an unprecedented groundswell of solidarity. The Confederate flag\, for so long a symbol and source of entrenched opposition within this state and across the nation\, went down with a whimper. It seems\, and we’re told\, that much has changed. \nAnd yet—much hasn’t changed\, and needs to. Racism’s roots run deep. While we can all easily disavow the work of a hate-filled and wayward young man\, it is less easy to confront the insidious societal forces that shaped him and the ideology to which he subscribes. It is less easy to acknowledge that indifference and ignorance\, over time\, can be more dangerous than an assault rifle in the hands of a terrorist. \nReal change starts with honest conversation. This fall\, Wide Angle Lunches and the Charleston Library Society will host a sustained conversation over five weeks. Our speakers are educators and activists\, thinkers and doers. They are committed both to understanding the past and charting the future. I hope you will join this critical conversation and learn how we might turn last summer’s suffering into a better\, fairer\, stronger Charleston. \nCeara Donnelley

SUMMARY:Wide Angle Lunch Series: Patricia Williams Lessane
DESCRIPTION:For tickets\, please call (843) 723-9912 or click here. \n“We must … resist the comfortable fiction that\, whatever racial turmoil exists elsewhere\, genteel Charleston is a place of calm.” \nSo wrote Patricia Williams Lessane in the New York Times\, just one day after the shooting of nine parishioners at Mother Emanual A.M.E. church in downtown Charleston. Dr. Lessane is uniquely qualified to explore what it today means to be Black\, both in Charleston and across the nation. A native Chicagoan whose parents\, like many African-Americans\, migrated to the north in the 1950s in search of opportunity and a better life\, Dr. Lessane returned to the south in 2010—also in search of a better life for her family. Offered the job of Executive Director of the Avery Research Center for African American History and Culture at the College of Charleston\, Dr. Lessane\, in her words\, “jumped at the chance to leave the violence of Chicago’s South Side to forge a life in a safer\, culturally rich community.” The events of the last year in Charleston\, and in so many towns across the country\, suggest that there may be no such thing for many African-Americans. \nDr. Lessane came to Charleston having studied and/or worked at a wide range of institutions\, from Fisk University to the Field Museum\, with stops at Dartmouth and Harvard in between. She was named one of Charlie Magazine’s 50 Most Progressive People in 2013 and\, in addition to running the Avery Center\, she is currently co-editing two volumes of work: We Carry These Memories Inside of We: Celebrating Daughters of the Dust and the Blacks Arts Aesthetic of Julie Dash and Dreams Deferred\, Promises and Struggles; Perceptions and Interrogations of Empire\, Nation\, and Society. She lives in Charleston with her two beautiful and precocious children.

With the majority of his performance repertoire being lush\, intricate arrangements of Broadway and standards that form the canon of “The Great American Songbook”\, his influences are more classical than pop.  It is this subjective layering of classical style that Pandolfi infuses onto the broad palette of selections performed in his frequent concerts that resonates with audiences everywhere.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Thibaut Fagonde
DESCRIPTION:To RSVP to this event\, please call (843) 723-9912 or email mstokenberry@charlestonlibrarysociety.org \nCome listen to Director\, Producer\, and Editor\, Thibaut Fagonde discuss his upcoming film Overalls & Aprons. Fagonde will show clips from the film and lead a stimulating Q&A about the question\, “Is Farm to Table Sustainable?”.  Guest speakers include: Glenn Roberts\, Founder of Anson Mills and Antonio Quiros M.D.\, Division Chief Pediatric GI Nutrition at MUSC Children’s Hospital. \nOveralls and Aprons explores the sustainability of local farmers\, livestock producers\, and fisheries in the Lowcountry community of Charleston\, SC. The story is told through the lens of 10 celebrated local chefs who are committed to restoring the cultural culinary landscape and identity of their regional foodways in support of the health and longevity of a true localized food system. The film observes the critical importance of why chefs seek out local ingredients and how their relationships with local producers inform each other’s professions. The chefs’ call to action for quality ingredients has created popular demand and reawakened the cravability and spirit of cultivating a local farm culture and culinary identity. \nThe rich agricultural history of the South plays a “main character” in the film. Visual portraits of the interaction of interlinked communities working in support of strengthening the sustainable local food infrastructure provide a transparency to the “movement” of seed to plate. \nThe film investigates the benefits as well as the constraints of communities investing in localized food systems. The film also delves into the issues of whether the geographical landscape\, ecology\, health\, and socio-economic benefits outweigh the constraints for this type of food system to remain a viable option for all. \nTickets for this event will be $10 for members and $15 for nonmembers. To purchase tickets please call 843-723-9912 or click here. \nFeatured chefs in Overalls and Aprons:\nChef Frank Lee – SNOB & Mavrick Southern Kitchens \nChef Mike Lata – FIG & The Ordinary \nChef Sean Brock – Husk & McCrady’s & Minero \nChef Ricky Hacker – Evo Pizza & Bakery \nChef Nico Romo – Fish & Patricks Properties \nChef Kevin Johnson – The Grocery \nChef Jeremiah Bacon – The McIntosh & Oak Steakhouse \nChef Fred Neuville – Fat Hen \nChef Benjamin ‘BJ’ Dennis \nChef Craig Deihl – Cypress and Artisan Meat Share’ \n\nFeatured farmers:\nCeleste Albers – Sea Island Dairy \nGreg Johnsman – Geechie Boy Mill and Market \nPete Ambrose – Ambrose Farms \nSidi Limehouse – Rosebank Farms \nKenneth Melton – Lowland Farms \nJeff Allen – Rebellion Farms \nJoseph Fields – Joseph Fields Farms \nAnnie Keegan – Keegan Filion Farms \nRita Bachmann – Rita’s Roots \nThomas Lagare – Lagare Farms \nDave Belanger – Clammer Dave \nTommy Edwards – Tommy Shrimp Pimp \nKimberly Carrol – Kimberly’s Crabs \nMark Marhefka – Abundant Seafood \nMillgrove Farms – Ben and Carol

That is\, to know what history we are living\, and where this moment will fit in the wider narrative of our times. Historian David Blight\, one of the nation’s foremost scholars of the Civil War and Reconstruction\, and particularly the role of memory in history\, holds in his mind such a command of the last 300+ years of American and Southern life that he can endeavor\, with confidence\, to tell us what today means. \nProfessor Blight is Class of 1954 Professor of American History at Yale University\, where he is also Director of the Gilder Lehman Center for the Study of Slavery\, Resistance\, and Abolition. He is the author of several seminal books on slavery and the Civil War\, including Race and Reunion: The Civil War in American Memory (Harvard University Press\, 2001)\, which received eight book awards\, including the Bancroft Prize\, the Abraham Lincoln Prize\, and the Frederick Douglass Prize as well as four awards from the Organization of American Historians. He is currently writing a new\, full biography of Frederick Douglass that will be published by Simon and Schuster in 2015. In addition to his academic work\, Professor Blight works in many capacities in the world of public history\, and is a member of a small team of advisors to the 9/11 Memorial and Museum.  For that institution he wrote the recently published essay\, “Will It Rise: September 11 in American Memory.”  In 2012\, Blight was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and delivered an induction address\, “The Pleasure and Pain of History.”

SUMMARY:Jon Meacham: Destiny and Power
DESCRIPTION:To purchase tickets\, click here or call (843) 723-9912. \nThe format for this event will be an interview/discussion with Jon Meacham and John Huey\, former Editor-in-Chief at Time\, Inc\, who got his start as a reporter at The Atlanta Constitution before heading to The Wall Street Journal and then Time Inc.  It will be a lively\, entertaining opportunity to see and hear two great minds discuss Bush ’41. \nThe evening will begin at 6:00 and will be followed by an opportunity to have a glass of wine with the author at the Library.  Tickets can be purchased for $65\, which will include a signed bookplate and copy of Destiny and Power. \nIn this brilliant biography\, Jon Meacham\, the Pulitzer Prize–winning author\, chronicles the life of George Herbert Walker Bush. Drawing on President Bush’s personal diaries\, on the diaries of his wife\, Barbara\, and on extraordinary access to the forty-first president and his family\, Meacham paints an intimate and surprising portrait of an intensely private man who led the nation through tumultuous times. From the Oval Office to Camp David\, from his study in the private quarters of the White House to Air Force One\, from the fall of the Berlin Wall to the first Gulf War to the end of Communism\, Destiny and Power charts the thoughts\, decisions\, and emotions of a modern president who may have been the last of his kind. This is the human story of a man who was\, like the nation he led\, at once noble and flawed. \nHis was one of the great American lives. Born into a loving\, privileged\, and competitive family\, Bush joined the navy on his eighteenth birthday and at age twenty was shot down on a combat mission over the Pacific. He married young\, started a family\, and resisted pressure to go to Wall Street\, striking out for the adventurous world of Texas oil. Over the course of three decades\, Bush would rise from the chairmanship of his county Republican Party to serve as congressman\, ambassador to the United Nations\, head of the Republican National Committee\, envoy to China\, director of Central Intelligence\, vice president under Ronald Reagan\, and\, finally\, president of the United States. In retirement he became the first president since John Adams to see his son win the ultimate prize in American politics. \nWith access not only to the Bush diaries but\, through extensive interviews\, to the former president himself\, Meacham presents Bush’s candid assessments of many of the critical figures of the age\, ranging from Richard Nixon to Nancy Reagan; Mao to Mikhail Gorbachev; Dick Cheney to Donald Rumsfeld; Henry Kissinger to Bill Clinton. Here is high politics as it really is but as we rarely see it. \nFrom the Pacific to the presidency\, Destiny and Power charts the vicissitudes of the life of this quietly compelling American original. Meacham sheds new light on the rise of the right wing in the Republican Party\, a shift that signaled the beginning of the end of the center in American politics. Destiny and Power is an affecting portrait of a man who\, driven by destiny and by duty\, forever sought\, ultimately\, to put the country first. \nAdvance praise for Destiny and Power \n“Altogether fair\, insightful . . . a portrait made especially compelling by the author’s remarkable access to Bush’s private White House diaries. This is a timely\, first-rate book!”—David McCullough \n“What a spectacular and moving portrait this is—not only of a remarkably classy man but of the era that shaped him! It is hard to imagine a biographer more fitted than Jon Meacham to write what will surely be the definitive work on George Herbert Walker Bush.”—Doris Kearns Goodwin \n“This astonishing book is both timely and timeless. . . . A fascinating and insightful portrayal of the life of an exemplary American citizen.”—Walter Isaacson \n“Jon Meacham’s timely and intimate biography of George Bush 41 is a welcome reminder of this modest president’s call to service\, from the cockpits of World War II to the Oval Office and the end of the Cold War.”—Tom Brokaw \n“This riveting biography by the incomparable Jon Meacham gives George H. W. Bush his well-deserved place in history. Destiny and Power is full of surprises\, revealing 41’s important role in scene after crucial historical scene of the past seven decades.”—Michael Beschloss
