SUMMARY:Charleston Mercury Presents: Shay McNeal
DESCRIPTION:The Charleston Mercury presents author Shay McNeal as she speaks about her recent book\, The Road to Trump. To RSVP\, please call 843-723-9912 or email dreutter@charlestonlibrarysociety.org \nA country divided will fall into the abyss it creates.\nThe Road to Trump chronicles the most pressing issues the United States faced over the last five years in an effort to illuminate the prevailing political landscape. McNeal’s columns\, Meet You in the Middle\, published in the Charleston Mercury\, in Charleston\, S.C.\, reveal the raw nature of the state of our nation. The Road to Trump also places on the record McNeal’s insightful analysis of China and Russia as they challenge the United States on the world stage. Moreover\, The Road to Trump clearly illustrates how failure to meet in the middle fueled the successful election of the outsider\, Donald Trump\, and contributed to the resurgence of China and Russia.\nIn January 2016\, her column titled Mourning in America was one of the first analyses indicating that Trump would go the distance. Moreover\, she was the rare columnist at the time who was prescient regarding the 2016 election and called it right\, even before candidate Trump became the Republican Party nominee. \nShay McNeal is a past political consultant\, past president of an advertising and marketing firm as well as an executive in the fashion and retail business where she began her business career.  She has been a guest numerous times on the BBC\, CNN\, and radio shows in the United States and the United Kingdom.\nShay’s last book\, The Secret Plot to Rescue the Tsar\, garnered a full-page review in the Sunday Times (London).  Vogue (UK)\, BookPage and Publishers Weekly\, among others\, weighed in as well. She is an indefatigable researcher who is fearless when it comes to placing valid yet controversial findings on the record.

SUMMARY:Coastal Conservation League Book Launch: Virginia & Dana Beach
DESCRIPTION:Join the Library Society and the Coastal Conservation League as they celebrate the release of A WHOLLY ADMIRABLE THING: Defending Nature and Community on the South Carolina Coast by Virginia and Dana Beach. This event is free and open to the public. To RSVP\, call 843-723-9912 or email dreutter@charlestonlibrarysociety.org \nA few weeks before Hurricane Hugo made landfall in September of 1989\, the South Carolina Coastal Conservation League opened shop in a one-room office in downtown Charleston.  Armed with founder Dana Beach’s personal desktop computer and the local phone book\, the three-person staff sent out its first membership mailing\, rushing to the post office each day to check for responses.  The organization grew from a hundred members that first fall to a thousand the following year and several thousand by the end of the first decade. \nPrior to Hurricane Hugo\, the 1960s\, 70s and 80s had seen a surge of resort and residential growth in the South Carolina Lowcountry\, displacing whole communities of people and wildlife along the coast\, overtaking what had traditionally been a resourced-based economy.  The storm triggered a pause\, a reset\, which the Conservation League seized upon. Lawsuits\, back-room deals and corruption in high places conspired against the public trust at every turn. Nevertheless\, a deep-rooted love of the Lowcountry\, combined with practical opportunism and longstanding friendships cultivated across the generations\, unified and empowered South Carolina conservationists to prevail. \nThe stories in A WHOLLY ADMIRABLE THING chronicle these transformational successes and failures over three decades of community activism\, led by one of the country’s most innovative\, persistent and controversial conservation groups.  The book highlights the Coastal Conservation League’s founding principles and culture\, institutional evolution\, dogged work ethic\, fearless advocacy\, pragmatic politicking\, and mastery of communication and community organizing.  It also features the voices of countless citizens and activists on the front lines—through a mix of narrative\, personal interview and first-person memoir and reflection. \nFinally\, the book reveals the critical importance of place—the biological\, historical\, political and social backdrop of an ancient and troubled region—in shaping a conservation ethic and agenda for the present day.  The history of the Conservation League and its diverse collaborators spotlights a region in the throes of wrenching change: staggering out of the hazy mist of an insular\, pre-modern world of planters\, yeomen farmers and Gullah slave descendants\, into an era dominated by global economic forces and instantaneous communication.  The struggle continues today. It is a never-ending tale of a formidable alliance of courageous citizens\, standing up for wild species and human communities so that all can thrive and endure.
