SUMMARY:Jane Mendelsohn reads from her new book Burning Down the House
DESCRIPTION:“It begins with a child . . .” So opens Jane Mendelsohn’s powerful new novel. Or really with two children\, two girls. One\, from the Caucasus\, sold into the sex trade; the other\, the adopted daughter—his beloved sister’s orphaned child—of Steve\, patriarch of the Zane family. In cinematic\, dazzlingly described scenes—from lavish weddings to the transglobal underworld; from London\, Rome and New York to Laos and Istanbul—we meet all the Zanes\, their staff\, and their friends. In precise yet lush prose\, Mendelsohn captures the emotional worlds of these characters with visceral immediacy\, and transforms their private stories into a larger drama about the forces of globalization\, human trafficking\, and sexual violence\, finding inextricable connections between the personal and the political.

SUMMARY:Ellen Feldman reads from her new book Terrible Virtue
DESCRIPTION:The daughter of a hard-drinking\, smooth-tongued free thinker and a mother worn down by thirteen children\, Margaret Sanger vowed her life would be different. Trained as a nurse\, she fought for social justice beside labor organizers\, anarchists\, socialists\, and other progressives\, eventually channeling her energy to one singular cause: legalizing contraception. It was a battle that would pit her against puritanical\, patriarchal lawmakers\, send her to prison again and again\, force her to flee to England\, and ultimately change the lives of women across the country and around the world. This complex enigmatic revolutionary was at once vain and charismatic\, generous and ruthless\, sexually impulsive and coolly calculating—a competitive\, self-centered woman who championed all women\, a conflicted mother who suffered the worst tragedy a parent can experience. From opening the first illegal birth control clinic in America in 1916 through the founding of Planned Parenthood to the arrival of the Pill in the 1960s\, Margaret Sanger sacrificed two husbands\, three children\, and scores of lovers in her fight for sexual equality and freedom.

SUMMARY:Please join us to celebrate the publication of Wild By Design with Margie Ruddick
DESCRIPTION:Can nature—in all its unruly wildness—be an integral part of creative landscape design? In her beautifully illustrated book\, Wild by Design\, award-winning designer Margie Ruddick urges designers to look beyond the rules often imposed by both landscaping convention and sustainability checklists. Instead\, she offers a set of principles for a more creative and intuitive approach that challenges the entrenched belief that natural processes cannot complement high-level landscape design. Wild by Design defines and explains the five fundamental strategies Ruddick employs to give life\, beauty\, and meaning to landscapes: Reinvention\, Restoration\, Conservation\, Regeneration\, and Expression. Drawing on her own projects–from New York City’s Queens Plaza\, formerly a concrete jungle of traffic\, to a desertscape backyard in Baja\, California\, to the Living Water Park in Chengdu\, China–she offers guidance on creating beautiful\, healthy landscapes that successfully reconnect people with larger natural systems.
