SUMMARY:CLS Book Club // "Table for Two" by Amor Towles
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. \nAn exploration of the book will be presented by the ambitious duo\, Susan Porter and Diana Hambleton\, after which the floor will open to discussion. \nAbout the Book: \n\n\nIn Table for Two\, Amor Towles shares some of his shorter fiction: six stories based in New York City and a novella set in Golden Age Hollywood. The New York stories\, most of which take place around the year 2000\, consider the fateful consequences that can spring from brief encounters and the delicate mechanics of compromise that operate at the heart of modern marriages. In Towles’s novel Rules of Civility\, the indomitable Evelyn Ross leaves New York City in September 1938 with the intention of returning home to Indiana. But as her train pulls into Chicago\, where her parents are waiting\, she instead extends her ticket to Los Angeles. Told from seven points of view\, “Eve in Hollywood” describes how Eve crafts a new future for herself—and others—in a noirish tale that takes us through the movie sets\, bungalows\, and dive bars of Los Angeles.Written with his signature wit\, humor\, and sophistication\, Table for Two is another glittering addition to Towles’s canon of stylish and transporting fiction. \n\n\nFor a copy of the book\, check out our catalog here\, or shop local at Buxton Books.

SUMMARY:Book Tour Exclusive // The Santee Canal: SC's First Commercial Highway
DESCRIPTION:The Santee Canal: the first inland navigation route from the Upcountry of the South Carolina Piedmont to the port of Charleston and the Atlantic Ocean\, finished in the early 19th century. The Charleston Library Society and Buxton Books are honored to host Dr. Richard Porcher\, one of three authors of The Santee Canal: South Carolina’s First Commercial Highway\, for a book tour exclusive presentation and discussion on his comprehensive story of SC’s historical accomplishment. Dr. Porcher\, a former Citadel professor and researcher of 33 years\, will be introduced by co-author and former Citadel colleague Elizabeth Connor\, M.Ed\, who in 2019 took a sabbatical to conduct background and field research for the publication with Dr. Porcher. Led by Dana Beach\, Founder & Director Emeritus-South Carolina Coastal Conservation League\, the discussion will dive into the research on the canal and divulge never-before-published historical plans\, maps\, and photographs from the book. \nTickets*: PURCHASE HERE \n$10 – Members or $15 – General Admission  \nAbout the Book: \nA history of one of America’s earliest canals and its impact on the people of the South Carolina Lowcountry \nCompleted in 1800\, the Santee Canal connected the Cooper\, Santee\, Congaree\, and Wateree rivers: the engineered waterway transformed the lives of many in the state and affected economic development in the Southeast region of the newly formed United States. In The Santee Canal\, authors Elizabeth Connor\, Dr. Richard Dwight Porcher Jr.\, and William Robert Judd provide an authoritative and richly illustrated history of one of America’s first canals. \nThe Santee Canal connected distant settlements\, reversed the economic fortunes of planters who altered the relationships between enslaved and enslavers\, and represented an important engineering achievement of the early canal-building era in the United States. This remarkable economic\, social\, and political story is brought to life by the stories of the many individuals who had a hand in building the canal. From the landowners through whose property it cut\, to the enslaved laborers who carved its path\, to the enigmatic chief engineer Johann Christian Senf—the individual and local perspectives on this grand undertaking ground this history in the life and times of late 18th-century South Carolina. \nConnor\, Porcher\, and Judd tell a comprehensive story of the canal’s origins and history. Imagery from historical and personal archives\, field research\, and technical drawings enhance the text\, allowing readers to appreciate the development\, evolution\, and effect of the Santee Canal on the land and the people of South Carolina. \nAbout Dr. Richard Porcher: \nRichard Dwight Porcher Jr.\, a native of Pinopolis in Berkeley County\, South Carolina\, currently resides in Mt. Pleasant. He graduated from Berkeley High School in 1957 and earned a BS in biology from the College of Charleston in 1962. Porcher received his Ph.D. from the University of South Carolina in 1974\, where he studied field botany under the noted botanist Dr. Wade T. Batson. In 1970\, he began a thirty-three-year tenure as a biology professor at The Citadel. \nIn 1995\, he published Wildflowers of the Carolina Lowcountry and Lower Pee Dee (USC Press). He is the senior author of Wildflowers of South Carolina\, published in October 2001 with Doug Rayner (USC Press). Porcher\, now Professor Emeritus at The Citadel since retiring in 2003\, previously served as Adjunct Full Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Clemson University. There\, he established the Wade T. Batson Endowment in Field Botany to support students studying the state’s flora and plant ecology. \nPorcher is currently photographing the wildflowers and plants of South Carolina\, with 1\,600 different species already documented. These photographs have been placed in the public domain. \nPorcher’s most recent publication is tonight’s subject matter\, The Santee Canal\, which he produced in collaboration with an assembled a team of historians and archaeologists. Porcher’s accolades include the 2006 Charleston Horticultural Society’s 1830 Award\, the 2008 South Carolina Environmental Awareness Award\, the 2015 Citadel School of Science and Mathematics Faculty Award\, The Order of the Palmetto in 2019\, and the Tom Dodd\, Jr. Award of Excellence by the Cullowhee Native Plant Conference in 2023. \nAbout Prof. Elizabeth Connor\, M.Ed.: \nElizabeth Connor\, MLS\, MEd is Professor Emerita of General Education at The Citadel\, the Military College of South Carolina.
