SUMMARY:VIRTUAL EVENT: Lloyd Kahn\, The Half-Acre Homestead
DESCRIPTION:Bookshop Santa Cruz invites you to join us for a free online event with green architecture pioneer Lloyd Kahn for a presentation of his new book\, The Half-Acre Homestead: 46 Years of Building and Gardening. \nRegister for this free Crowdcast event here.\nThis is a free event. The book may be purchased below.\nYou can make a donation to help support Bookshop Santa Cruz here. Thank you!\nLloyd\, the former shelter editor of the Whole Earth Catalog\, has published seven books on owner building\, showcasing hundreds of builders\, but this is his first book on his own work\, and that of his wife Lesley\, in building and house and creating a garden in the seaside town of Bolinas over a 46-year period. \nThe Half-Acre Homestead chronicles how Lloyd and Lesley started with a vacant half-acre piece of land\, built their own home\, created a garden with vegetables and fruit\, and raised chickens\, bees\, and goats. The book also covers cooking\, foraging\, fishing\, crafts\, birds\, butterflies\, and tools. All of their work was done by hand and they have never paid rent or had a mortgage. \nOver 500 photos illustrate all the above facets of their lives and provide clear explanations of building skylights\, maintaining a septic system\, building greenhouses and raised vegetable beds. There is a section on unique kitchen tools\, as well as advice on useful tools used in construction. The Half-Acre Homestead is filled with advice for anyone thinking of building a home these days. \nLloyd Kahn started building his own home in the early ’60s and went on to publish books showing homeowners how they could build their own homes with their own hands. He got his start in publishing by working as the shelter editor of the Whole Earth Catalog with Stewart Brand in the late ’60s. He has since authored six highly-graphic books on homemade building\, all of which are interrelated. The books\, “The Shelter Library Of Building Books\,” include Shelter\, Shelter II (1978)\, Home Work (2004)\, Builders of the Pacific Coast (2008)\, Tiny Homes (2012)\, and Tiny Homes on the Move (2014). Lloyd operates from a Northern California studio built of recycled lumber\, set in the midst of a vegetable garden\, and hooked into the world via five Mac computers. \nKahn lived in Santa Cruz in the ’50s. He was a surfer before wetsuits\, and was a beach lifeguard in 1955. He also lifeguarded at the Santa Cruz Plunge and taught swimming at The Plunge at Pleasure Point. He went into the insurance business in 1960\, and was Jack O’Neill’s first insurance broker.

SUMMARY:[Virtual Ruby] AUTHORS OF COLOR BOOK CLUB: The Revisioners by Margaret
DESCRIPTION:[This is a Virtual Ruby* event\, taking place over Zoom. Nonmembers are welcome to join; please donate if you are able!] \nJean Rhys said that “reading makes immigrants of us all\,” that “it takes us away from home\, but more important\, it finds homes for us everywhere.” Now more than ever\, it’s vital—and heartening—to read\, and read widely. We’ll read thrilling\, mind-blowing\, intriguing\, heartbreaking\, comic\, strange\, and/or provocative books by women and nonbinary people of color—and\, each month\, we’ll gather to talk about what we’ve read! When possible\, we’ll also have the writer join us. \nThis August\, we’ll be reading THE REVISIONERS by local author and friend of The Ruby\, Margaret Wilkerson Sexton. Margaret will be joining us for the discussion. \nAbout THE REVISIONERS \n“Sexton takes on [Toni Morrison’s artful invocation of the ghost] in her new novel The Revisioners. . . She writes with such a clear sense of place and time that each of these intermingled stories feels essential and dramatic in its own way.” —Ron Charles\, The Washington Post \n“A powerful tale of racial tensions across generations.” —People \nIn 1924\, Josephine is the proud owner of a thriving farm. As a child\, she channeled otherworldly power to free herself from slavery. Now her new neighbor\, a white woman named Charlotte\, seeks her company\, and an uneasy friendship grows between them. But Charlotte has also sought solace in the Ku Klux Klan\, a relationship that jeopardizes Josephine’s family. \nNearly one hundred years later\, Josephine’s descendant\, Ava\, is a single mother who has just lost her job. She moves in with her white grandmother\, Martha\, a wealthy but lonely woman who pays Ava to be her companion. But Martha’s behavior soon becomes erratic\, then threatening\, and Ava must escape before her story and Josephine’s converge. \nThe Revisioners explores the depths of women’s relationships—powerful women and marginalized women\, healers and survivors. It is a novel about the bonds between mothers and their children\, the dangers that upend those bonds. At its core\, The Revisioners ponders generational legacies\, the endurance of hope\, and the undying promise of freedom. \nAbout MARGARET WILKERSON SEXTON \nMARGARET WILKERSON SEXTON\, born and raised in New Orleans\, studied creative writing at Dartmouth College and law at UC Berkeley. Her debut novel\, A Kind of Freedom\, was long-listed for the National Book Award and the Northern California Book Award\, won the Crook’s Corner Book Prize\, and was the recipient of the First Novelist Award from the Black Caucus of the American Library Association. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her family. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSource:: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/virtual-ruby-authors-of-color-book-club-the-revisioners-by-margaret-tickets-90537549247
