SUMMARY:The Deserts of California: A California Field Atlas
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Book Club of California \nMONDAY\, October 23\, 2023\nThe Deserts of California\, a California Field Atlas\n6:00 PM – 7:15 PM Pacific\nVirtual presentation \nWith climate breakdown heating up and desertification looming over the horizon\, Obi Kaufmann leads curious adventurers on a voyage into the sage-and-ocher landscapes of the American West’s world-famous desert regions this fall in his revelatory and sumptuously illustrated new volume The Deserts of California: A California Field Atlas. As philosophical as it is geophysical\, this journey blends science and art in Kaufmann’s signature style to throw into relief ecological insights greater than either might yield alone. Through expressionistic mapmaking\, wildlife renderings\, and geographic conservation guides\, Kaufmann explores the marvels of and threats to these resilient yet sensitive ecosystems. \n“The Deserts of California presumes that hope\, like healing\, relies on time\,” writes Kaufmann. “If there is time\, there is hope. Although every desert habitat type is threatened\, very little of it is yet extinct. Despite the complexity of the threat\, everywhere there is precedent for resurgence.” \nOf a piece with his best-selling books The Forests of California (2020) and The Coasts of California (2022)\, The Deserts of California (October 2023) rounds out Kaufmann’s expansive California Lands Trilogy. Individually and collectively\, these volumes set out to transform entrenched colonialist attitudes toward the American West\, and transform our concept of nature from a resource for extraction to a shared and cherished inheritance. \nAn in-person and virtual presentation by Obi Kaufmann\, author\, illustrator\, and naturalist \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister to attend the virtual presentation on Zoom

SUMMARY:Gutenberg\, Morgan\, and Greene: Building the Bookman’s Paradise
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Book Club of Washington \nOnline Sunday\, October 22\, 2 PM PDT \nWhat bibliophile could resist an introduction to the early history and development of the private library of J. Pierpont Morgan? John McQuillen elaborates on the rich scope of his talk: “Morgan had an exemplary eye for collecting significant Western literary works—Gutenberg and Aldus\, Shakespeare and Dickens—but it was his librarian\, Belle Greene\, who helped to focus Morgan’s broad collecting practices towards the creation of a truly exemplary library. Miss Greene steered the library through the Great Depression and both World Wars and continued to build on Morgan’s vision of an outstanding repository of the history of the written word.” \nJohn McQuillen is the Associate Curator of Printed Books & Bindings at the Morgan Library & Museum. In 2012\, he earned a PhD in Art History and the Book History and Print Culture Collaborative Program from the University of Toronto. John specializes in incunabula and Early Modern book history and has published on 15th-century provenance studies\, medieval/Early Modern library history\, incunable herbals\, and early book portraits in the paintings of Hans Holbein. For the Morgan\, John has curated exhibitions on William Caxton\, Martin Luther\, J.R.R. Tolkien\, 18th-century French royal bookbindings\, Hans Holbein\, and early printed herbals (on view from 6 October). \nRegister here: https://www.bookclubofwashington.org/events-1/gutenberg-morgan-and-greene-building-the-bookmans-paradise?utm_campaign=36f43a7c-1f2d-4142-a42b-f8ee9586786f&utm_source=so&utm_medium=mail&cid=1291030c-f5cd-4f28-ac2a-0f1daf7824dd

SUMMARY:We are the Land: A History of Native California
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Book Club of California and Litquake \n6:00 PM – 7:15 PM Pacific\nVirtual presentation \nBefore there was such a thing as “California\,” there were the People and the Land. Manifest Destiny\, the Gold Rush\, and settler colonial society drew maps\, displaced Indigenous People\, and reshaped the land\, but they did not make California. Rather\, the lives and legacies of the people native to the land shaped the creation of California. We Are the Land is the first and most comprehensive text of its kind\, centering the long history of California around the lives and legacies of the Indigenous people who shaped it. \nBeginning with the ethnogenesis of California Indians\, We Are the Land recounts the centrality of the Native presence from before European colonization through statehood—paying particularly close attention to the persistence and activism of California Indians in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. \nThe book deftly contextualizes the first encounters with Europeans\, Spanish missions\, Mexican secularization\, the devastation of the Gold Rush and statehood\, genocide\, efforts to reclaim land\, and the organization and activism for sovereignty that built today’s casino economy. A text designed to fill the glaring need for an accessible overview of California Indian history\, We Are the Land will be a core resource in a variety of classroom settings\, as well as for casual readers and policymakers interested in a history that centers the native experience. \nAn in-person and virtual presentation by William Bauer\, enrolled citizen of the Round Valley Indian Tribes\, author\, and Professor of History at the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas \n* Co-presented and co-hosted by Litquake \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister to attend the virtual presentation on Zoom\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Molly Manning: The Best-Read Army in the World
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Grolier Club \nIn recognition of Banned Book Week\, Molly Manning will speak on censorship and propaganda in connection with the themes of her exhibition\, “The Best Read Army in the World.” \nDuring World War II—a time of rampant propaganda\, censorship\, and Nazi book bans in Europe—the United States military sent troops into battle armed not only with weapons\, but with ideas. The U.S. publishing industry created pocket-sized paperback books called “Armed Services Editions\,” as well as petite issues of domestic newspapers and miniature “overseas” editions of popular magazines. In total\, more than 1 billion periodicals and 123 million paperbacks were distributed to 16 million American troops. In the words of the New York Post in 1945\, the United States had “the best-read Army in the world\,” and these readers returned home with an unquenchable reading habit\, revolutionizing the book and magazine industries. The Best-Read Army in the World features approximately 225 pieces from the collection of Molly Guptill Manning (best-selling author and associate professor of law\, New York Law School)\, including miniature books and periodicals\, photographs\, posters\, artwork\, propaganda leaflets\, and letters. Highlights include rare prototypes for the troop-friendly publications\, a bundle of Armed Services Editions in its original packaging\, a U.S. army librarian uniform\, and a display on World War II-era book bans. The exhibition will be accompanied by a catalogue published by the Grolier Club. \nFree and open to all.

SUMMARY:Rachel Church on The Women of Windy Hill (Artists' Book on Community Cookbooks)
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Baxter Society \nRachel Church will speak about her artist’s book The Women of Windy Hill\, which commemorates the creation of a self-published cookbook during the pandemic. \nTo register for this talk\, contact: baxtersociety@gmail.com \nFrom Rachel’s website: \nIn 2021\, the Women’s Group of the North Vienna United Methodist Church\, a church perched up on a windy ridge at the highest point in a small\, rural town\, created Cooped Up Cooking. The introduction reads: \nIt has been ten years since the Wednesday Morning Women’s Group published a cookbook. 2020-21 has been a challenging time for everyone. For a period\, the group did not meet. Then we met on Zoom\, better than not meeting at all\, but not the same as being together! It was so good when we finally could be back together in-person\, to share\, laugh\, and cry together. This new cookbook contains comfort food recipes that nourished us during the pandemic; new finds discovered during cooking adventures; as well as our thoughts\, and prayers\, and scripture that sustained us. Our hope is that you will find some old treasures\, new finds\, and comfort in this cookbook. \nCommunity cookbooks are valuable because they document not only the foods eaten in a specific community in a given time\, but also the values\, history\, and social networks of a community\, and particularly (but not exclusively) communities of women. I was interested in this cookbook because it reflects as time in this community (and the world) of extreme challenges. For many of us\, food and cooking gained even more appreciation as nourishment both for our bodies and our spirits. I wanted to make this project to highlight the women who created the cookbook and the stories within their recipes and\, more personally\, because these women were part of my own upbringing; I grew up in that small\, rural community. I am grateful that they have been open with their stories\, photos\, and recipe boxes to create this collaborative artwork\, which I hope brings attention and honor to the foods that sustain us\, the memories they contain\, and the people who make it.

SUMMARY:Nut Tree: From a California Ranch to a Design\, Food\, and Hospitality Icon
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Book Club of California \nMonday Sept. 11\, 6:00 PM – 7:15 PM Pacific \nIn-person and virtual presentation \n5:30 PM Pacific – Reception\n6:00 PM Pacific – Program \nDiane Power Zimmerman will share highlights from her book Nut Tree: From a California Ranch to a Design\, Food\, and Hospitality Icon. As the oldest granddaughter of the founders of a famous northern California roadside destination\, Nut Tree\, Power Zimmerman is uniquely poised to tell the story of a twentieth century icon. \nThe real story begins in 1921\, when newlyweds\, Helen and Bunny (Edward) Power took over a lease on a 150-acre California ranch and disaster struck. A late frost and early heat wave wiped out most of the fruit crop\, and what was left\, could no longer be shipped to the cities in the East. In desperation the couple set up a roadside stand to sell fruit and recapture some profits. They soon realized that American’s love affair with the automobile had just begun. \nHelen and Bunny Power were in the right place and time to start a small farm-based restaurant that grew into a multi-million-dollar entertainment complex thanks to the advent of the automobile. While the history begins with the California Gold Rush\, the main story focuses on the entrepreneurial successes of her family. \nAfter the business closed\, Power Zimmerman began to collect the stories tinged with nostalgia and the vivid memories proffered by fans. Power Zimmerman draws from family records\, letters\, newspaper clippings\, photos\, and the extensive archives of the Vacaville Museum to create a visually stunning book full of tales and photos chronicling the twentieth century. Power Zimmerman reflects on the writing experience and tells how a simple history took on a life of its own. \nAn in-person and virtual presentation by Diane Power Zimmerman\, author and a fifth-generation member of the founding family of the Nut Tree \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister to attend the virtual presentation on Zoom
