SUMMARY:Dr. M Jackson: The Secret Lives of Glaciers
DESCRIPTION:Dr. M Jackson discusses her new book\, The Secret Lives of Glaciers. \nPraise for The Secret Lives of Glaciers \n“This outrageous book\, rich with revelation and stewardship\, is\, at its deepest level\, an icy blue love story to make us reconsider what it means to be fully alive – and open to wonder – in our ever-changing world.” Kim Heacox\, Author\, John Muir and the Ice That Started a Fire \n“M Jackson brings a powerful combination of skills to bear in her ambitious task of complicating our understanding of the rapidly dwindling masses of ice with which we share this planet. Blending hands-on science\, vivid descriptive writing\, affecting personal anecdote\, and insightful cultural observation\, The Secret Lives of Glaciers is a hypnotic and inspiring book–essential reading for anyone who loves nature and is concerned about the human species’ continued existence within it.” Tim Weed\, Author\, A Field Guide to Murder & Fly Fishing \n“M Jackson is a master storyteller\, weaving evocative anecdotes and historical and scientific narratives into an intricate dance of the relationship between man and ice. Jackson writes eloquently\, her stories of the real\, concrete effects of climate change on the people of Iceland both informative and heart-wrenching. ” Dr. Michele Koppes\, Glaciologist & Geographer \nAbout The Secret Lives of Glaciers \nGeographer\, adventurer\, environmental educator\, 2018 TED Fellow and National Geographic Society Emerging Explorer Dr. M Jackson studies and writes about glaciers and climate change worldwide. \nSeeking to understand the wild diversity and complexity that exists between people and ice\, Jackson lived for a year on the south-eastern coast of Iceland\, chronicling in The Secret Lives of Glaciers the cultural and societal impacts of glacier change on local communities. Jackson interviewed hundreds of Icelanders living in close proximity to ice\, seeking to understand just what was at stake as the island’s ice disappeared. \nPainstakingly detailed\, Jackson recounts stories of glaciers told by people throughout the region\, stories exploring the often conflicting and controversial plasticity of glaciers\, the power glaciers enact in society\, the possible sentience of glaciers\, and the range of intertwined positive and negative consequences glacier change produces throughout Iceland. The Secret Lives of Glaciers reaches beyond Iceland and touches on changing glaciers everywhere\, revealing oft-overlooked interactions between people and ice throughout human history. \nThe Secret Lives of Glaciers delivers a critical message: understanding glaciers and people together teaches us about how human society worldwide experiences being in the world today amidst increasing climatic changes and anthropogenic transformation of all of Earth’s systems. Instead of creating another catalogue of all the ice the world is losing\, The Secret Lives of Glaciers explores what we may yet find with glaciers: hope for humanity\, and the possibility of saving this world’s glaciers.

SUMMARY:LAUNCH for Rachel Swaby and Kit Fox / Mighty Moe: The True Story of a Thirteen-Year-Old Women's Running Revolutionary
DESCRIPTION:Booksmith celebrates the launch of the new book by Rachel Swaby and Kit Fox\, Mighty Moe: The True Story of a Thirteen-Year-Old Women’s Running Revolutionary. please join us! \n“A story lost to history illuminates the unique way sports supports feminism . . . A story about what running really is: competing with other runners and not against them.” – Kirkus Reviews \nFifty-two years ago\, a girl known as Mighty Moe broke the women’s world marathon record at a small race in Toronto. This was an era when girls and women were discouraged from the sport and the longest track event at the Olympics for women was 25.6 miles shorter than a marathon. Thirteen-year-old Moe’s world-beating victory was greeted with chauvinistic disapproval and accusations of cheating—as were many of her achievements in the sport she had excelled at from the age of ten. Within less than two years\, the controversy took its toll and Maureen quit running. \nHere is the untold story of Mighty Moe’s tenacity and triumph in the face of adversity as a young athlete—and of a grown-up Maureen finding her way back to the sport decades later. This inspiring biography for readers and racers of all ages showcases the truly groundbreaking achievements of an unassuming\, amazing young athlete. \nMighty Moe includes an introduction by Kathrine Switzer\, the first woman to officially register and run in the Boston Marathon (and Maureen’s only fellow female competitor at the 1967 record-setting race)\, and an afterword by Des Linden\, the first-place finisher of the 11\,628 women who raced the 2018 Boston Marathon. \n\nRachel Swaby and Kit Fox produced the Runner’s World podcast “Human Race\,” where Mighty Moe’s story was first told. Rachel is the author of Headstrong: 52 Women Who Changed Science—and the World (a Random House adult title) as well as its MG version\, Trailblazers: 33 Women in Science Who Changed the World\, and Kit is a magazine editor at Hearst. \n\nThis event is free and all ages. \nRSVP appreciated but not required. \nAs with all of our events\, seating may be limited; you can guarantee a seat by pre-purchasing the book below — when checking out\, just be sure to include a note that you’d like to attend the event. If you cannot attend the event but would like to request a signed copy of Might Moe\, order below and put your request in the comments field; to request signed copies of Rachel’s other books\, order here and do the same.
