SUMMARY:VIRTUAL AUTHOR TALK: Rebecca Roanhorse
DESCRIPTION:Epic Worlds and Celestial Prophecies: Exploring the Between Earth and Sky Trilogy with Rebecca Roanhorse\nNew York Times Bestselling and Hugo Award–Winning Fantasy Author\n  \nREGISTER HERE: https://libraryc.org/whitinglibrary/220702/register \n  \nStep into a sprawling world of celestial magic\, political intrigue\, and ancient prophecies with New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Roanhorse as we dive deep into her acclaimed Between Earth and Sky trilogy. Black Sun\, Fevered Star\, and Mirrored Heavens are inspired by the rich and diverse cultures of the pre-Columbian Americas\, reshaping modern speculative fiction with unmissable worldbuilding. \nBlack Sun\, the first book in the trilogy\, introduces us to the holy city of Tova. The winter solstice is usually a time for celebration and renewal\, but this year it coincides with a solar eclipse\, a rare celestial event proscribed by the Sun Priest as an unbalancing of the world. \nMeanwhile\, a ship launches from a distant city bound for Tova and set to arrive on the solstice. The captain of the ship\, Xiala\, is a disgraced Teek whose song can calm the waters around her as easily as it can warp a man’s mind. Her ship carries one passenger. Described as harmless\, the passenger\, Serapio\, is a young man\, blind\, scarred\, and cloaked in destiny. As Xiala well knows\, when a man is described as harmless\, he usually ends up being a villain. \nWhether you are a longtime fan of the trilogy or searching for your next immersive fantasy read\, this is an event you won’t want to miss out on. \nRegister today to go behind the scenes with one of speculative fiction’s most exciting voices! \n  \nAbout the Author: \nRebecca Roanhorse is a New York Times bestselling and Nebula\, Hugo\, and Locus Award-winning speculative fiction writer. She has published multiple award-winning short stories and novels\, including two novels in The Sixth World series\, Star Wars: Resistance Reborn\, Race to the Sun for the Rick Riordan imprint\, and the Hugo Award-winning epic fantasy trilogy Between Earth and Sky. She was the guest editor of America’s Best Science Fiction and Fantasy (2023) and a contributor to the New York Times “100 Best Books of the 21st Century.” She has also written for Marvel comics and games\, and her TV writing includes FX’s A Murder at the End of the World\, and the Marvel series Echo for Disney+. She has had her own work optioned by Paramount\, Amazon Studios\, Netflix\, and AMC Studios. \n  \nMissed this virtual author talk?

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL AUTHOR TALK: Paul Vigna
DESCRIPTION:How Money Became God: Rethinking Wealth and Greed in Modern Society with Paul Vigna\nVeteran Wall Street Journal Reporter and Financial Expert\n  \nREGISTER HERE: https://libraryc.org/whitinglibrary/219304/register \n  \nJoin us for an eye-opening conversation with veteran journalist Paul Vigna as we examine his provocative book\, The Almightier: How Money Became God\, Greed Became Virtue\, and Debt Became Sin\, in which he explores the question: how did money go from a tool of commerce into the dominant faith of modern society? \nIn The Almightier\, Vigna takes readers on a sweeping historical journey from Renaissance Florence to today’s global financial markets\, revealing how wealth accumulation evolved from a moral failing into an unspoken civic virtue. He uncovers the forgotten history of money\, tracing the uneasy and often accidental alliance between wealth and religion as it developed from ancient city-states to today’s secular world\, where religious devotion has receded and greed has stepped in to fill the void. \nThrough engaging anecdotes\, original research\, and fresh perspectives on the causes of the many challenges we face today\, Vigna makes a compelling argument that money has no power apart from the power we give it. \nWhether you are interested in economic history\, personal finance\, or the hidden cultural forces shaping modern life\, this talk is sure to pique your interest. \nRegister today to learn more about how devotion to money has replaced religion as the foundation of our society. \n  \nAbout the Author: \nPaul Vigna is an author\, journalist\, editor and speaker\, with a particular focus on capital markets and cryptocurrencies. He is the author of Guts: The Anatomy of The Walking Dead and coauthor of The Age of Cryptocurrency and The Truth Machine. For 25 years\, he was a reporter and editor for Dow Jones Newswires and the Wall Street Journal\, pioneering coverage of the cryptocurrency sector. He has appeared on CNN\, CNBC\, MSNBC\, Fox\, and PBS. \n  \nMissed this virtual author talk?

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL AUTHOR TALK: Kelly & Zach Weinersmith
DESCRIPTION:A City on Mars: The Science and Absurdities of Space Settlement with Kelly and Zach Weinersmith\nNew York Times Bestselling Authors\, Award-Winning Cartoonist (Zach)\, and Scientist (Kelly)\n  \nREGISTER HERE: https://libraryc.org/whitinglibrary/218605/register \n  \n\n\nJoin us for an out-of-this-world virtual conversation with New York Times bestselling authors Kelly and Zach Weinersmith as they dive into their book\, A City on Mars: Can We Settle Space\, Should We Settle Space\, and Have We Really Thought This Through? \nEarth is not well. The promise of starting life anew somewhere far\, far away—no climate change\, no war\, no doomscrolling—beckons\, and settling the stars finally seems within our grasp. Or is it? Critically acclaimed\, bestselling authors Kelly and Zach Weinersmith set out to write the essential guide to a glorious future of space settlements\, but after years of research\, they aren’t so sure it’s a good idea. \nIn a world hurtling toward human expansion into space\, A City on Mars investigates whether the dream of new worlds won’t create nightmares\, both for settlers and the people they leave behind. In the process\, the Weinersmiths answer every question about space you’ve ever wondered about\, and many you’ve never considered: \nCan you make babies in space? Should corporations govern space settlements? What about space war? Are we headed for a housing crisis on the Moon’s Peaks of Eternal Light—and what happens if you’re left in the Craters of Eternal Darkness? Why do astronauts love taco sauce? Speaking of meals\, what’s the legal status of space cannibalism? \nWith deep expertise\, a winning sense of humor\, and art from the beloved creator of Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal\, the Weinersmiths investigate perhaps the biggest questions humanity will ever ask itself—whether and how to become multiplanetary. \nRegister today to be a part of the discussion! \n  \nAbout the Authors: \nZach Weinersmith is best known as the cartoonist of the comic Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal. He also co-wrote the bestselling science books Soonish and A City on Mars with his wife\, and worked with the artist Boulet to create a children’s retelling of the story of Beowulf called Bea Wolf. \nDr. Kelly Weinersmith is an adjunct faculty member at Rice University\, and is currently President of the Helminthological Society of Washington and the American Society of Parasitologists. Her research on animal behavior and parasites has been featured in The Atlantic\, National Geographic\, BBC World\, Science\, Nature\, and more. Kelly co-wrote the New York Times bestsellers Soonish: Ten Emerging Technologies That’ll Improve And/Or Ruin Everything and A City on Mars: Can We Settle Space\, Should We Settle Space\, and Have We Really Thought This Through?. In 2024\, she and her co-author/husband Zach received a Hugo Award and the Royal Society Trivedi Book Prize for A City on Mars. Kelly is also co-host of the podcast Daniel and Kelly’s Extraordinary Universe. \n  \n\n\n\nMissed this virtual author talk?

She is from the Crane Clan\, the totem of leadership\, and believes in holding space from vision and heart. As an energy healer\, homeopath\, and mentor\, Asha has guided thousands of people through profound and lasting transformation. \nImpacted by generational trauma and colonization\, Asha has been on a lifelong journey of reclamation. A lupus diagnosis sent her on a path of studying and practicing a multitude of energy Medicine modalities with many guides. She has blended this life experience with her innate gifts and the wisdom of her Ancestors. She loves sharing her Medicine in powerful ways through Ceremonies\, teachings\, and speaking events. Through this work\, she loves seeing people reclaim their roots\, find their healing wisdom\, and rise into their power. \nAsha lives on Anishinaabe\, Huron-Wendat\, and Haudenosaunee Territory\, with her husband and two beautiful children\, with whom she co-creates a better world for the seven generations to come. \n  \nMissed this virtual author talk?

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL AUTHOR TALK: Carolyn Russo
DESCRIPTION:Art in Flight: Reinventing Postmodernism with Smithsonian Curator Carolyn Russo\nA Library Speakers Consortium and Smithsonian Institution Collaboration\n  \nREGISTER HERE: libraryc.org/whitinglibrary/209080/register \n  \nJoin us for a captivating online conversation with acclaimed author and Smithsonian curator Carolyn Russo as we dive into her fascinating book\, The Ascent of Rauschenberg. Explore the towering legacy\, unexpected inspirations\, and creative heights of one of America’s most influential artistic icons. \nMost famous for his groundbreaking “Combines”—painting and sculpture hybrids that often incorporated everyday objects—American artist Robert Rauschenberg (1925-2008) created within a range of mediums\, including collage\, performance\, photography\, and printmaking. But a connective tissue through it all was his fascination with flight. The Ascent of Rauschenberg explores the flight motif across his work\, spanning birds\, insects\, aviation\, spaceflight\, sensory experiences\, and metaphors for his own life. \nMore than 150 images reveal the vibrant scope of his work\, from lithographs inspired by the Apollo 11 launch that NASA invited him to witness and document\, to a Combine featuring a taxidermied eagle that evokes Roman mythology. Nine accompanying essays reflect on his many flight themes and subtleties that might otherwise be overlooked. The book also includes archival photographs and personal papers from the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation. \nRegister now for the chance to view art history through the unique prism of flight. \nAbout the Author: \nCarolyn Russo is curator of the art collection at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum. She has lectured internationally on the subject of art and flight and is the author of several publications including The Ascent of Rauschenberg: Reinventing the Art of Flight\, Art of the Airport Tower\, In Plane View: Abstractions of Flight\, and Women and Flight: Portraits of Contemporary Women Pilots. \n  \nMissed this virtual author talk?
