SUMMARY:JUDITH ARMATTA
DESCRIPTION:<p>Internationally recognized human rights activist\, lawyer\, and journalist reported from The Hague on the four year trial of Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic for war crimes and genocide&#151\;a trial that began in 2002 and concluded abruptly in 2006 with Milosevic's death while still on trial. She is here with an important account of that trial\, <b><i>Twilight of Impunity\: The War Crimes Trial of Slobodan Milosevic</i></b> (Duke University Press). \\"In <i>Twilight of Impunity</i>\, Judith Armatta has done for the trial of Slobodan Milosevic\, the Butcher of the Balkans\, what Hannah Arendt did for the trial of Adolf Eichmann\, the Architect of the Holocaust\: present an unflinching depiction of the crimes\, the anguish of the victims and witnesses\, the arrogance of the killers\, the virtues and flaws of the judicial process\, and the banality of the evil that can arise when leaders assume they enjoy impunity.\\" – Chuck Sudetic.</p>

SUMMARY:DAVID CALLAHAN at Town Hall Seattle
DESCRIPTION:<p><b>Co-presented with the TOWN HALL CENTER FOR CIVIC LIFE.</b> Demos co-founder David Callahan explores the rise of progressive political influence on Wall Street\, Hollywood\, Silicon Valley\, and elsewhere in his new book\, <b><i>Fortunes of Change\: The Rise of the Liberal Rich and the Remaking of America</i></b> (Wiley). \\"Reading <i>Fortunes of Change</i> is like finding the missing piece to a jigsaw puzzle. Sweeping economic changes are profoundly reshaping our politics&#151\;and not in ways we usually think. These shifts are reshaping the beliefs of the upper class and creating a new and very potent political force&#151\;the liberal wealthy elite. Callahan's must-read book provides a whole new perspective on our economy and political culture.\\" - Richard Florida. <b>$5 tickets are available at the door starting at 6\:30 p.m. or in advance via <a href=\\"http\://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/122228\\" target=\\"_blank\\">www.brownpapertickets.com</a> (1-800-838-3006).

SUMMARY:JENNIFER JORDAN
DESCRIPTION:<p>
 --<em>RESCHEDULED FROM AUGUST 16TH</em>--
 </p>
 <p>
 Award-winning author\, filmmaker\, and screenwriter\, most known for her book\, <i>Savage Summits</i>\, Jennifer Jordan visits this evening with her new tale of Himalayan adventures in days of yore (1939)\, <b><i>The Last Man on the Mountain\: The Death of an American Adventurer on K2</i></b> (W.W. Norton). \\"<i>The Last Man on the Mountain</i> is a page-turning account of one of mountaineering's most intriguing mysteries\: what happened to Dudley Wolfe and the three Sherpas sent to rescue him on K2 in 1939? Jennifer Jordan has great respect for the legend and the lives she examines\; she also has a novelist's eye for character and for the telling detail. What emerges in this wonderful book is a story of ego\, hubris\, and the price of passion in the world's highest arena.\\" - Greg Mortenson. \\"<i>The Last Man on the Mountain</i> will finds its place in the adventure canon of man versus the mountains\, when wool\, hemp\, and hobnails ruled\, and class and national differences roiled beneath the surface ... Jordan has done a great job.\\" - Peter Porterfield.</p>

DESCRIPTION:<p>--<em>THIS EVENT CANCELLED!</em>--</p>
 <p>
 Minneapolis poet Seth Berg visits with a debut collection\, <b><i>Muted Lines from Someone Else's Memory</i></b>\, newly published by Dark Sky Books\, itself newly transplanted to the Seattle area from South Carolina. \\"<i>Muted Lines from Someone Else's Memory</i> is a heartfelt and gutsy investigation into the human brain's infinite possibilities\, possibilities that remain potential in most of us\, but geyser forward from Berg's consciousness in every poem.\\" - Larissa Szporluk. \\"The memorable poems in Seth Berg's <i>Muted Lines from Someone Else's Memory</i> embed themselves first in our minds and finally anchor in our hearts\, reminding us to be still\, to celebrate rare moments of communion\, to savor bread rising in the kitchen\, to listen to a yellow finch even in a world that threatens to drown out song.\\" - Vivian Shipley. <b>Seth Berg WILL be reading this evening at 7 pm at Pilot Books\, 219 Broadway E. (<a href=\\"http\://www.pilotbooksseattle.com\\" target=\\"_blank\\">www.pilotbooksseattle.com</a>).</b></p>

SUMMARY:JULIA GLASS
DESCRIPTION:<p>Julia Glass\, National Book Award-winning author of <i>Three Junes</i>\, and other reader (book group) favorites <i>I See You Everywhere</i> and <i>The Whole World Over</i>\, is back with a nuanced\, insightful new novel\, <b><i>The Widower's Tale</i></b> (Pantheon). \\"Percy Darling\, 70\, the narrator of Glass's fourth novel\, takes comfort in certitudes\: he will never leave his historic suburban Boston house\, he is done with love (still guilty about his wife's death 30 years ago)\, and his beloved grandson will do credit to the family name. But Glass spins a beautifully paced\, keenly observed story in which certainties give way to surprising reversals of fortune ... Glass handles the coalescing plot elements with astute insights into the complexity of family relationships\, the gulf between social classes\, and our modern culture of excess to create a dramatic\, thought-provoking\, and immensely satisfying novel.\\" - <i>Publishers Weekly</i>.</p>

SUMMARY:THEA COOPER
DESCRIPTION:<p>Few expected that Elizabeth Hughes\, diagnosed with juvenile diabetes in 1919\, would live to adulthood\, much less to welcome children and grandchildren into the world. Her story\, and that of the Canadian researchers who first identified and purified the animal insulin that saved not only her life but also the lives of many millions of other diabetics\, is told by Seattle writer Thea Cooper in the new book\, <b><i>Breakthrough\: Elizabeth Hughes\, the Discovery of Insulin\, and the Making of a Medical Miracle</i></b> (St. Martin's Press\, co-authored with Arthur Ainsberg). \\"A work that sometimes reads like a novel\, with the characters brought to life through their ... thoughts\, remarks and physical gestures ... A readable tale of medical achievement.\\" - <i>Kirkus Reviews</i>.</p>

SUMMARY:JOHN VAILLANT
DESCRIPTION:<p>British Columbia writer John Vaillant wrote what has been an enduring favorite of Northwest coast nature writing with his earlier book\, <i>The Golden Spruce</i>. He works his way all the way around the northern Pacific Rim to Siberia for his absolutely riveting new book\, <b><i>The Tiger\: A True Story of Vengeance and Survival</i></b> (Knopf). \\"What spirits this adventure narrative from compelling to brilliant is Vaillant's use of the tiger hunt as an allegorical lens through which to understand the cultural\, economic\, and environmental devastation of post-Communist Russia ... This energetic hybrid of classic adventure and impassioned sociocultural critique will appeal to Jon Krakauer fans\, tiger lovers\, and readers interested in contemporary Russian history.\\" - <i>Library Journal</i>. \\"This elegant work of narrative non-fiction has it all&#151\;beauty\, intrigue\, a primeval locale\, fully realized characters\, and a conflict that speaks to the state of our world. Obsessively well-researched and artfully written\, <i>The Tiger</i> takes us on a journey to the raw edge of civilization\, to a world of vengeful cats and venal men\, a world that\, in Vaillant's brilliant telling\, is simultaneously haunting and enchanting.\\" - Hampton Sides\, joined by Annie Proulx\, Temple Grandin\, Elizabeth Marshall Thomas\, and others in early praise.</p>

SUMMARY:EMMA DONOGHUE
DESCRIPTION:<p>Irish novelist and scholar Emma Donoghue\, now based in Canada\, has made several appearances at Elliott Bay\, none more eagerly anticipated than this for her new novel\, <b><i>Room</i></b> (Little\, Brown). A longlist nominee for this year's MAN Booker Prize\, <i>Room</i> is a story told form the point of view of a five-year-old who has never left the room in which he&#151\;and his mother&#151\;are imprisoned. It's a tale of resilience and the mother/child bond. <i>Room</i> has been read with enthusiasm and early readers around the country. This is one not to miss. \\"Talented\, versatile Donoghue relates a searing tale of survival and recovery\, in the voice of a five-year-old boy ... Donoghue brilliantly shows mother and son grappling with very different issues as they adjust to freedom ... In the story's most heartbreaking moments\, it seems that Ma may be unable to live with the choices she made to protect Jack. But his narration reveals that she's nurtured a smart\, perceptive\, and willful boy&#151\;odd\, for sure\, but resilient\, and surely Ma can find that resilience in herself ... Wrenching\, as befits the grim subject matter\, but also tender\, touching\, and at times unexpectedly funny.\\" - <i>Kirkus Reviews</i>. Emma Donoghue's novels include <i>Hood</i>\, <i>Landings</i>\, <i>Life Mask</i>\, and the Lambda Award-winning <i>The Sealed Letter</i>\, which was also longlisted for Canada's Giller Prize. She is also the author\, earlier this year\, of <i>Inseparable\: Desire Between Women in Literature</i> (Knopf).</p>

SUMMARY:MARY CATHERINE BATESON at Town Hall Seattle
DESCRIPTION:<p><b>Co-presented with the TOWN HALL CENTER FOR CIVIC LIFE.</b> Twenty years after eminent scholar and author Mary Catherine Bateson's <i>Composing a Life</i> appeared&#151\;a book which has had readership and relevance ever since&#151\;she is here with <b><i>Composing a Further Life\: The Age of Active Wisdom</i></b> (Knopf). More than taking up where its predecessor left off\, <i>Composing a Further Life</i> is a serious\, informed\, lively exploration of what can be made of later stages of adult life\, what Dr. Bateson calls 'Adulthood II.' She draws from an array of conversations/portrayals of others who have lived more deeply and fully as they've aged\, as well as developing research. Mary Catherine Bateson's numerous other books include <i>With a Daughter's Eye\: A Memoir of Margaret Mead and Gregory Bateson</i>\, <i>Peripheral Visions</i>\, and <i>Willing to Learn</i>. She is presently a Visiting Scholar at the Center on Aging &amp\; Work/Workplace Flexibility at Boston College\, and until recently was president of the Institute of Intercultural Studies. <b>$5 tickets are available at the door starting at 6\:30 p.m.\, or in advance via <a href=\\"http\://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/119288\\" target=\\"_blank\\">www.brownpapertickets.com</a> (1-800-838-3006).
