SUMMARY:Richard Rhodes\, Energy
DESCRIPTION:This event is cosponsored by Ecology Action. \nPulitzer Prize- and National Book Award-winning author Richard Rhodes will join us to discuss his new book\, Energy\, which reveals the fascinating history behind energy transitions over time–wood to coal to oil to electricity and beyond. People have lived and died\, businesses have prospered and failed\, and nations have risen to world power and declined\, all over energy challenges. Ultimately\, the history of these challenges tells the story of humanity itself. \nThrough an unforgettable cast of characters\, Rhodes explains how wood gave way to coal and coal made room for oil\, as we now turn to natural gas\, nuclear power\, and renewable energy. Rhodes looks back on five centuries of progress\, through such influential figures as Queen Elizabeth I\, King James I\, Benjamin Franklin\, Herman Melville\, John D. Rockefeller\, and Henry Ford. \nIn Energy\, Rhodes highlights the successes and failures that led to each breakthrough in energy production; from animal and waterpower to the steam engine\, from internal-combustion to the electric motor. He addresses how we learned from such challenges\, mastered their transitions\, and capitalized on their opportunities. Rhodes also looks at the current energy landscape\, with a focus on how wind energy is competing for dominance with cast supplies of coal and natural gas. He also addresses the specter of global warming\, and a population hurtling towards ten billion by 2100. \nHuman beings have confronted the problem of how to draw life from raw material since the beginning of time. Each invention\, each discovery\, each adaptation brought further challenges\, and through such transformations\, we arrived at where we are today. In Rhodes’s singular style\, Energy details how this knowledge of our history can inform our way tomorrow. \nRichard Rhodes is the author of numerous books and the winner of the Pulitzer Prize\, the National Book Award\, and the National Book Critics Circle Award. He graduated from Yale University and has received fellowships from the Ford Foundation\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation\, and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. Appearing as host and correspondent for documentaries on public television’s Frontline and American Experience series\, he has also been a visiting scholar at Harvard and MIT and is an affiliate of the Center for International Security and Cooperation at Stanford University. Visit his website: RichardRhodes.com \nThis free event will take place at Bookshop Santa Cruz\, 1520 Pacific Ave.\, Santa Cruz\, CA. Chairs for open seating are usually set up an hour before the event begins.

SUMMARY:Olympian Eddie Hart and sports journalist Dave Newhouse discuss Disqualified
DESCRIPTION:Gold Medal-winning Olympian Eddie Hart and award-winning sports journalist Dave Newhouse discuss Disqualified: Eddie Hart\, Munich 1972\, and the Voices of the Most Tragic Olympics. \n\n\n\nABOUT DISQUALIFIED \nHaving previously tied the world record\, Eddie Hart was a strong favorite to win the 100-meter dash at the 1972 Olympics in Munich\, Germany. Then the inexplicable happened: he was disqualified after arriving seconds late for a quarterfinal heat. Ten years of training to become the “World’s Fastest Human\,” the title attached to an Olympic 100-meter champion\, was lost in a heartbeat. But who was to blame? \nHart’s disappointment\, though excruciating\, was just one of many subplots to the most tragic of Olympic Games\, at which eight Arab terrorists assassinated eleven Israeli athletes and coaches as the world watched in horror. Five terrorists were killed\, but three escaped to their homeland as heroes and were never brought to trial. Swimmer Mark Spitz won seven gold medals but was rushed out of Germany afterward because he was Jewish. Other American athletes\, besides Hart\, seemed jinxed in Munich. The USA men’s basketball team thought it had earned the gold medal\, but the Russians received it instead through an unprecedented technicality. Bob Seagren\, the defending pole vault champion\, was barred from using his poles and forced to compete with unfamiliar poles. And swimmer Rick DeMont lost one gold medal and the possibility of winning a second because of an allergy drug that had passed U.S. Olympic Committee specifications but was disallowed by the International Olympic Committee. \nIt was that kind of Olympics\, confusing to some\, fatal to others. Hart traveled back to Munich forty-three years later to relive his utter disappointment. He returned to the same stadium where he did earn a gold medal in the 400-meter relay. In Disqualified\, his interesting life story\, told with author Dave Newhouse\, sheds entirely new light on what really happened at Munich. It includes interviews with Spitz and the victimized American athletes and conversations with two Israelis who escaped the terrorists. And Hart finally learned who was responsible for his disqualifications and those of Rey Robinson\, who was in the same heat\, leading to an interesting epilogue in which these two seniors reflect on the opportunity denied them long ago. \nEddie Hart earned his undergraduate degree from UC Berkeley and a master’s from Cal State-Hayward before embarking on a career as a teacher and coach at the college level. \nDave Newhouse was an award-winning sportswriter and columnist at the Oakland (CA) Tribune prior to his retirement in 2011. This is his twelfth book. \n  \n\n\n\n\nEvent date:\n\nThursday\, July 19\, 2018 – 7:30pm\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\nPegasus Books Downtown\n2349 Shattuck Ave\n\nBerkeley\, CA 94704

These little moments when we achieve\, with the aid of another\, some kind of sublime\, and time and space sort of dissolve and we’re right where it feels we’re meant to live—those little moments are quick sparkles\, these efforts to pin them down in poetry feel as sweaty and muscular\, as desperate and full of passion\, as the sex itself. Each one a little flare\, a little death\, an I was here.”\n—MICHELLE TEA\, author of Against Memoir and Black Wave
