SUMMARY:Sarah Deutsch: California and Reframing the Making of a Modern U.S. West
DESCRIPTION:A central theme of Making a Modern U.S. West by Sarah Deutsch is the question of what would constitute a modern U.S. and whose vision would define the West and the nation. Modernity for some meant corporate consolidation\, capital intensive agriculture\, white supremacy\, male-headed families and private individual land-holding. For others\, modernity could include racial mixing\, transnational mobility\, economic democracy\, and collective ownership of land. Californians ran the full spectrum of these ideas—they fought over redwoods and irrigation\, they speculated on land and oil\, they fought over the border and who belonged on which side\, and even over who should get a say in all those things—and in doing so\, they helped define modernity for the region and the nation. \nThis presentation will address some of those issues as well as how the author tried to corral these unwieldy decades into a single volume. \nA virtual presentation by Sarah Deutsch\, author and professor of history\, Duke University \n\nClick here to REGISTER for the Virtual Presentation on Zoom

SUMMARY:FABS Handpress Era Zoom Group: Color Plates of Fishes and Gilbert White's Natural History
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by FABS \nAll are welcome to join us for an hour of presentations and discussion of printed books and other materials before 1800. The Handpress Group meets the second Monday of each month. \nJustin Hanisch\, New evidence for an old book: errant ink markings and an updated census provide new clues to the printing history of Louis Renard’s Poissons\, ecrevisses\, et crabes \nLouis Renard’s Poissons\, ecrevisses\, et crabes (1719\, 1754\, 1782) is one of the earliest books on fishes published with coloured plates. Each of the three editions was issued by a different publisher but was printed from the same set of copperplates.  In this talk\, I will first summarize the interesting (and somewhat complicated) publishing history of this important book.  I will then detail my efforts to gather as many leaves as possible from a broken and dispersed uncoloured copy that “shouldn’t exist” and how this copy inspired new bibliographical discoveries.\nJustin Hanisch is an ecologist and collector of pre-20th century books\, manuscripts\, and ephemera on the natural and social history of fishes.  He has published works on books and book collecting with the University of Alberta Press\, Brill\, and the journal Amphora and is currently preparing a manuscript based on the talk presented here today.  He is a member of the Grolier Club and the Alcuin Society. \nJ. David Archibald\, A Biologically Influential Publishing Quirk\nThe Oxford educated Gilbert White (1720-1793) became curate for life in the small village of Selborne\, Hampshire. He was a keen observer of all the local fauna and flora describing occurrences of new species\, behaviors of birds and mammals\, and recording seasonal changes in plants and animals. Although limited to Selborne\, his work is credited as being some of the earliest attempts at ecological and phenological observations. The 1789 book of his observations The Natural History and Antiquities of Selborne was much loved\, including by a ten-year-old Charles Darwin\, it is a publishing quirk. It is supposedly the fourth-most published book in the English language after the Bible\, Shakespeare\, and Bunyan’s The Pilgrim’s Progress. \nJ. David Archibald served on the faculty of Yale University and is professor emeritus of biology at San Diego State University. His field of research was the early evolutionary history of mammals\, conducting many paleontological expeditions In the western U.S. and Asia. After becoming professor emeritus he turned to the history of evolutionary thought\, especially pertaining to Charles Darwin. He is the author or coeditor of many scientific articles and books\, including four books since his retirement\, most recently in late 2021 Charles Darwin in the Reaktion Press Critical Lives series. \nContact Jennifer Larson (info@fabsocieties.org) to be added to the mailing list.
