Author Event with Ben Goldfarb at 7 pm

We will be selling books for this event with author Ben Goldfarb who will be discussing his latest release Eager: The Surprising, Secret Life of Beavers and Why They Matter.

In Eager, environmental journalist Ben Goldfarb reveals that our modern idea of what a healthy landscape looks like and how it functions is wrong, distorted by the fur trade that once trapped out millions of beavers from North America’s lakes and rivers. The consequences of losing beavers were profound: streams eroded, wetlands dried up, and species from salmon to swans lost vital habitat. Today, a growing coalition of “Beaver Believers”?including scientists, ranchers, and passionate citizens?recognizes that ecosystems with beavers are far healthier, for humans and non-humans alike, than those without them. From the Nevada deserts to the Scottish highlands, Believers are now hard at work restoring these industrious rodents to their former haunts. Eager is a powerful story about one of the world’s most influential species, how North America was colonized, how our landscapes have changed over the centuries, and how beavers can help us fight drought, flooding, wildfire, extinction, and the ravages of climate change. Ultimately, it’s about how we can learn to coexist, harmoniously and even beneficially, with our fellow travelers on this planet.

Ben Goldfarb is an award-winning environmental writer whose journalism has appeared in Mother Jones, Science, The Guardian, Orion Magazine, High Country News, Outside, Audubon Magazine, Pacific Standard, Hakai Magazine, VICE News, Yale Environment 360, and many other publications. His fiction has appeared in the Bellevue Literary Review, Motherboard, and The Hopper. He has spoken about environmental storytelling at venues including Stanford and Yale Universities, the American Fisheries Society, and the North American Congress for Conservation Biology.

August: Osage County

M&D Playhouse presents August: Osage County by Tracy Letts.  

A vanished father. A pill-popping mother. Three sisters harboring shady little secrets. When the large Weston family unexpectedly reunites after Dad disappears, their Oklahoman family homestead explodes in a maelstrom of repressed truths and unsettling secrets. Mix in Violet, the drugged-up, scathingly acidic matriarch, and you've got a major new play that unflinchingly—and uproariously—exposes the dark side of the Midwestern American family. Winner of the 2008 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award.

"I'd bet the farm that no family has ever been as unhappy in as many ways—and to such sensationally entertaining effect—as the Westons of AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY, a fraught, densely plotted saga of an Oklahoma clan in a state of near-apocalyptic meltdown. Fiercely funny and bitingly sad…[a] turbo-charged tragicomedy…" —NY Times.

Arts Jubilee Presents: Live at the Fillmore

Arts Jubilee presents Live at the Fillmore outdoors at Cranmore Mountain Resort at 7 pm! Live at the Fillmore performs the music of the original Allman Brothers Band as it was performed in the early years before the untimely deaths of Duane and Berry Oakley, and the departure of Dickey Betts. For many, those were the 'glory days' of the Allman Brothers Band. Anyone who had the good fortune to hear the Allman Brothers shows 'back in the day' on the same or successive nights will corroborate that though they did leave room for improvisation and personal expression, for the most part the songs remained the same. This has been Live at the Fillmore's approach to performing their music. Live at the Fillmore brings back authentically the performances of the Allman Brothers Band for those who were there to hear and still remember them along with those who have a similar love for this music and wish they had been there. Learn more at www.liveatthefillmoreband.com.

Local opening act at 6 pm: Dennis & Davey

Tickets are $12 for adults, $10 for seniors, $5 for students, and free for children 12 & under. Pay at the gate (we accept cash, Visa, and MasterCard). Cranmore Mountain is located at 1 Skimobile Rd in North Conway, NH. For more information visit www.artsjubilee.org

August: Osage County

M&D Playhouse presents August: Osage County by Tracy Letts.  

A vanished father. A pill-popping mother. Three sisters harboring shady little secrets. When the large Weston family unexpectedly reunites after Dad disappears, their Oklahoman family homestead explodes in a maelstrom of repressed truths and unsettling secrets. Mix in Violet, the drugged-up, scathingly acidic matriarch, and you've got a major new play that unflinchingly—and uproariously—exposes the dark side of the Midwestern American family. Winner of the 2008 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award.

"I'd bet the farm that no family has ever been as unhappy in as many ways—and to such sensationally entertaining effect—as the Westons of AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY, a fraught, densely plotted saga of an Oklahoma clan in a state of near-apocalyptic meltdown. Fiercely funny and bitingly sad…[a] turbo-charged tragicomedy…" —NY Times.

Author Evening with Bruce Kennett

AUTHOR EVENING WITH BRUCE KENNETT

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 15, 5-7 PM

Join us at the bookstore for an evening with local author Bruce Kennett presenting his book W. A. Dwiggins: A Life in Design. This book offers an engaging and inspiring overview of the designer’s wide-ranging creative output and lasting impact on the graphic arts. Kennett’s careful research, warm prose, and inclusion of numerous personal accounts from Dwiggins’s friends and contemporaries portray not only a brilliant designer, but a truly likable character.

Over the years Bruce has worked as a printer and compositor (letterpress and offset), designer, photographer, teacher, presenter, and editor at large. His deep appreciation for music took him to work at Transparent Audio and Listener magazine. His clients have ranged from the Los Angeles Children’s Museum and Folger Shakespeare Library to Boston College Law School and L.L. Bean.

Since 1980 Bruce has given lectures at universities and conferences on topics pertaining to the graphic arts and history of printing. Among the institutions are Harvard, Dartmouth College, Rochester Institute of Technology, Cooper Union, San Francisco Public Library, Boston’s Society of Printers, the Grolier Club, and TypeCon.

Bruce’s studio is located in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, in a beautiful converted barn built in the early 1800s.

Book Signing with Author Angelo Kaltsos

BOOK SIGNING WITH ANGELO KALTSOS

TUESDAY, AUGUST 21, 3-5 PM

We are so excited to have author Angelo Kaltsos at the bookstore for a book signing of his latest book MUSIC YOU WILL NEVER HEAR.

In 1946, when nineteen-year-old William “Bill” Goudas was recruited to assist in a daring late-evening burglary, he never would have guessed the night would end with the tragic murder of police sergeant William F. Healey. Presenting a true tale of crime and tragedy, Music You Will Never Hear recounts the events of that October evening decades ago, as told by author Angelo J. Kaltsos, Goudas’s nephew.

Goudas was a talented musician and had dreams of attending the New England Conservatory of Music, but these were not to come true. Instead, he would spend a large portion of his adult life in prison, leaving his talent to grow only as a prison musician and his family forever affected by the events. From his arrest to his time in confinement to the time spent with him after parole, Kaltsos relates the story of his uncle’s wasted life. This personal narrative, presented from a family member’s perspective, describes the killing of a police sergeant and the killer’s unknown, extraordinary gift as a prison musician.

Angelo J. Kaltsos performed top-secret research and production on the first B-1 bomber Doppler navigational system. He also conducted environmental research for the first flight to the moon. Kaltsos retired after twenty years of teaching high school electronics and science in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and now lives and writes in rural Maine off the grid.
