SUMMARY:Virtual - Psychological Thrillers and the Queen of Twists – An Author Talk with Freida McFadden
DESCRIPTION:Get your popcorn and take a seat as we pick the brain of the queen of twists herself\, Freida McFadden! McFadden will join us to chat about writing psychological thrillers\, her mega-bestselling hit The Housemaid series\, in particular her forthcoming (June 11\, 2024) third installment\, The Housemaid Is Watching. \nREGISTER HERE \nThe next installment is full of unbelievable twists and tension as it continues to follow Millie Calloway. She used to clean other people’s houses—now\, she can’t believe this new home is actually hers. The charming kitchen\, the quiet cul-de-sac\, the huge yard where her kids can play. She and her husband saved for years to give their children the life they deserve. \nEven though she’s wary of their new neighbor\, Mrs. Lowell when she invites them over for dinner\, it’s their chance to make friends\, so they accept the invitation. Mrs. Lowell’s maid opens the door wearing a white apron\, her hair in a tight bun. Millie knows exactly what it’s like to be in her shoes. But the maid’s cold stare gives her chills… \nThe Lowells’ maid isn’t the only strange thing on their street. Millie’s sure she sees a shadowy figure watching them. Her husband leaves the house late at night. And when she meets a woman who lives across the way\, her words chill to the bone: Be careful of your neighbors. \nMillie wonders: Did they make a terrible mistake moving their family here?

SUMMARY:Virtual - For the Love of Mars: A Human History of the Red Planet with Smithsonian Curator Matt Shin

SUMMARY:Rethinking the Concepts of Woman\, Life\, Freedom: Iran and the U.S.
DESCRIPTION:Frieda Afary is an Iranian American public librarian based in Los Angeles\, a translator\, and author of Socialist Feminism: A New Approach (Pluto Press\, 2022). \n“Woman\, Life\, Freedom” became the slogan of the woman-led uprising that started in Iran in September 2022 after the state police beating and murder of a young Kurdish woman for not wearing her hijab “correctly.” This slogan raises important questions not only for Iran but also for those in the United States and around the world who are concerned about women’s rights and human rights. \nThis presentation will discuss the ways in which many Iranians are thinking about the concepts of woman\, life and freedom today. It will also explore some ways in which these concepts have been addressed by contemporary feminist thinkers and eighteenth\, nineteenth and twentieth century philosophers. Comparing and contrasting these views can help shed light on key issues in today’s debates on gender\, reproductive rights\, individual rights and social responsibility.

SUMMARY:Genius\, Power\, and Deception on the Eve of World War I - An Author Talk with Douglas Brunt
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we chat with New York Times bestselling author\, Douglas Brunt\, about instant bestselling debut non-fiction work The Mysterious Case of Rudolf Diesel: Genius\, Power\, and Deception on the Eve of World War I. \nThis book reveals the hidden history of Rudolf Diesel\, one of the world’s greatest inventors\, and his mysterious disappearance on the eve of World War I. \nSeptember 29\, 1913: the steamship Dresden is halfway between Belgium and England. On board is one of the most famous men in the world\, Rudolf Diesel\, whose new internal combustion engine is on the verge of revolutionizing global industry forever. But Diesel never arrives at his destination. He vanishes during the night and headlines around the world wonder if it was an accident\, suicide\, or murder. \nAfter rising from an impoverished European childhood\, Diesel had become a multi-millionaire with his powerful engine that does not require expensive petroleum-based fuel. In doing so\, he became not only an international celebrity but also the enemy of two extremely powerful men -– Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany and John D. Rockefeller\, the founder of Standard Oil and the richest man in the world. The Kaiser wanted the engine to power a fleet of submarines that would finally allow him to challenge Great Britain’s Royal Navy. But Diesel had intended for his engine to be used for the betterment of the world. \nBrunt reopens the case and provides a compelling new conclusion about Diesel’s fate.
