SUMMARY:271st Annual Meeting Featuring Victoria Johnson
DESCRIPTION:271ST ANNUAL MEETING FEATURING VICTORIA JOHNSON \nJoin us for the 271st Annual Meeting of the Charleston Library Society. This year’s guest speaker will be author and educator Victoria Johnson\, who will discusse her recent book\, American Eden: David Hosack\, Botany\, and Medicine in the Garden of the Early Republic. The biography tells the story of Hamilton and Burr’s personal physician\, whose dream to build the nation’s first botanical garden inspired the young republic. RSVP Necessary – SEATS ARE LIMITED. TO RSVP\, CALL 843-723-9912 or EMAIL dreutter@charlestonlibrarysociety.org \nABOUT THE BOOK When Dr. David Hosack tilled the country’s first public botanical garden in the Manhattan soil more than two hundred years ago\, he didn’t just dramatically alter the New York landscape; he left a monumental legacy of advocacy for public health and wide-ranging support for the sciences. A charismatic dreamer admired by the likes of Jefferson\, Madison\, and Humboldt\, and intimate friends with both Hamilton and Burr\, the Columbia professor devoted his life to inspiring Americans to pursue medicine and botany with a rigor to rival Europe’s. Though he was shoulder-to-shoulder with the founding fathers―and even present at the fatal duel that took Hamilton’s life―Hosack and his story remain unknown. Now\, in melodic prose\, historian Victoria Johnson eloquently chronicles Hosack’s tireless career to reveal the breadth of his impact. The result is a lush portrait of the man who gave voice to a new\, deeply American understanding of the powers and perils of nature. \n“From the first moment I learned of David Hosack and his lost botanical garden—today the site of Rockefeller Center—I’ve been working to reconstruct his dramatic and moving life story. I’ve followed him through a vanished New York City\, up the Hudson to his beautiful estate at Hyde Park (now home to the Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site)\, and across the Atlantic to England and Scotland\, where he studied medicine and botany as a young man in the late eighteenth century. I’ve also followed Hosack through more than thirty archival collections in the US and Europe as I researched and wrote American Eden.” -Victoria Johnson \nABOUT VICTORIA JOHNSON\nA former Cullman Fellow at the New York Public Library\, Johnson currently is an associate professor of urban policy and planning at Hunter College in New York City\, teaching on the history of philanthropy\, nonprofits\, and New York City. She holds a doctorate in sociology from Columbia University and an undergraduate degree in philosophy from Yale.

SUMMARY:Drayton Hall Presents: Curators Unhinged
DESCRIPTION:There is a lot they know that they haven’t told us. \nDrayton Hall is pulling their curators out of the galleries\, house\, and archaeology lab\, handing them a drink and letting it fly on what they know\, what they don’t know\, and what they’re still arguing about.  Historic facts\, theories\, conjecture and wine flow as Drayton Hall’s curators make a new mark (smudge?) on history. Bring your questions on the mysteries of Drayton Hall. Ask them where the colonnades are and what their ten-year bet is.

The reception is for $10 members and $20 non-members. CLS members may use the promo code LIBRARY to login to the DH website to register for this event. Advanced registration required\, please.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Marie Benedict
DESCRIPTION:Bestselling author Marie Benedict will enthrall guests with discussion her new historical fiction\, The Only Woman in the Room. The novel shares the story of Hedy Lamarr\, a glamourous Oscar-nominated 1940s film star\, who was also an avid inventor and the figure behind advances in communication technologies that led to  Wi-Fi\, GPS\, and Bluetooth. Tickets are $5 for members and $10 for nonmembers. To purchase tickets\, call 843-723-9912 or click here \nSet in 1930s Austria before the start of WWII\, THE ONLY WOMAN IN THE ROOM\nintroduces us to young Jewish Hedy Kiesler who marries the countrys richest man\, Fritz Mandl\,\na munitions manufacturer often referred to as the Merchant of Death. Fritz is responsible for\nsupplying weaponry to Mussolini and Hitler in deals struck over the couples dinner table where\nHedy was often the only woman in the room. Always the active listener\, soon after she learns of\nthe Third Reichs military strategy and the horrific plans for the Jewish people\, she escapes to\nLondon and then to Hollywood. When she begins to suffer from survivors guilt as the military\nplans she had previously overheard begin to manifest\, Hedy decides she must take action and\nhelp in some way. With the assistance of co-inventor George Anthiel\, she utilizes the secret\nmilitary information learned at her ex-husbands side to develop an incredibly effective frequency\nhopping weaponry system that could have ended the war sooner but ultimately ends up rejected\nby the Navy. \nOnce a New York City lawyer\, MARIE BENEDICT had long dreamed about a fantastical job unraveling the larger mysteries of the past as an archaeologist or historian — before she tried her hand at writing. While drafting her first book\, she realized that she could excavate the possible truths lurking in history through fiction\, and has done so in The Other Einstein\, the story of Mileva Maric\, Albert Einstein’s first wife and a physicist herself\, and Carnegies Maid\, the story of a brilliant woman who may have spurred Andrew Carnegie toward philanthropy. She is a graduate of Boston College and the Boston University School of Law\, and lives in Pittsburgh with her family.

SUMMARY:CLS Book Club: Two For One Selections
DESCRIPTION:CLS BOOK CLUB – TWO FOR ONE. TWO SELECTIONS. TWICE THE FUN. \nCLS Book Club returns with a new twist. Patrons can choose to read either Kate Atkinson’s Transcription or Michael Ondaatje’s Warlight\, or both! We will discuss both novels and find their commonalities. Free with RSVP . To RSVP\, call 843-723-9912 or email dreutter@charlestonlibrarysociety.org \nTRANSCRIPTION – \nIn 1940\, eighteen-year old Juliet Armstrong is reluctantly recruited into the world of espionage. Sent to an obscure department of MI5 tasked with monitoring the comings and goings of British Fascist sympathizers\, she discovers the work to be by turns both tedious and terrifying. But after the war has ended\, she presumes the events of those years have been relegated to the past forever. \nTen years later\, now a radio producer at the BBC\, Juliet is unexpectedly confronted by figures from her past. A different war is being fought now\, on a different battleground\, but Juliet finds herself once more under threat. A bill of reckoning is due\, and she finally begins to realize that there is no action without consequence. \nTranscription is a work of rare depth and texture\, a bravura modern novel of extraordinary power\, wit and empathy. It is a triumphant work of fiction from one of the best writers of our time. \nWARLIGHT – \nFrom the internationally acclaimed\, best-selling author of The English Patient: a mesmerizing new novel that tells a dramatic story set in the decade after World War II through the lives of a small group of unexpected characters and two teenagers whose lives are indelibly shaped by their unwitting involvement. \nIn a narrative as beguiling and mysterious as memory itself–shadowed and luminous at once–we read the story of fourteen-year-old Nathaniel\, and his older sister\, Rachel. In 1945\, just after World War II\, they stay behind in London when their parents move to Singapore\, leaving them in the care of a mysterious figure named The Moth. They suspect he might be a criminal\, and they grow both more convinced and less concerned as they come to know his eccentric crew of friends: men and women joined by a shared history of unspecified service during the war\, all of whom seem\, in some way\, determined now to protect\, and educate (in rather unusual ways) Rachel and Nathaniel. But are they really what and who they claim to be? And what does it mean when the siblings’ mother returns after months of silence without their father\, explaining nothing\, excusing nothing? A dozen years later\, Nathaniel begins to uncover all that he didn’t know and understand in that time\, and it is this journey–through facts\, recollection\, and imagination–that he narrates in this masterwork from one of the great writers of our time.

Her clients include the Duke and Duchess of York\, the Queen of Denmark\, Rod Stewart\, Ringo Starr\, and Mark Birley\, owner of the legendary private club Annabel’s.
