Our Global Issues &\; Ethics Book Group is devoted to discussing books that cover the most relevant topics of our everyday lives. Our February selection is The Wayfinders\: Why Ancient Wisdom Matters in the Modern World by Wade Davis. Every Culture is a unique answer to a fundamental question\: What does it mean to be human and alive? Anthropologist and National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Wade Davis leads us on a thrilling journey to celebrate the wisdom of the world's indigenous cultures.

In Polynesia we set sail with navigators whose ancestors settled the Pacific ten centuries before Christ. In the Amazon we meet the descendants of a true lost civilization\, the peoples of the Anaconda. In the Andes we discover that the earth really is alive\, while in Australia we experience Dreamtime\, the all-embracing philosophy of the first humans to walk out of Africa. We then travel to Nepal\, where we encounter a wisdom hero\, a Bodhisattva\, who emerges from forty-five years of Buddhist retreat and solitude. And finally we settle in Borneo\, where the last rainforest nomads struggle to survive.

Understanding the lessons of this journey will be our mission for the next century. For at risk is the human legacy—\;a vast archive of knowledge and expertise\, a catalogue of the imagination. Re-discovering a new appreciation for the diversity of the human spirit\, as expressed by culture\, is among the central challenges of our times. This book comprises the 2009 Massey Lectures\, \\"The Wayfinders\,\\" broadcast in November 2009 as part of CBC Radio's Ideas series.

This combination of mystery\, suspense\, and the paranormal paint the West Coast with a darker reality where things are always as bad as they seem. This afternoon\, Brayden will be reading from his collection and talking about the craft of writing. Join us in the children's room to meet this talented young writer!

Co-presented with the NORTHWEST AFRICAN AMERICAN MUSEUM. Peggielene Bartels was enjoying life well enough as a gainfully employed secretary. Then\, one day\, her uncle passed away. With most relatives such as this\, there might be some form of inheritance—\;some money\, some property\, some possessions. Instead\, Ms. Bartels was chosen by the elders of her uncle's community—\;said uncle having been the king of a small town in Ghana—\;to be his successor. Told by Eleanor Herman and Ms. Bartels in charming narrative fashion\, King Peggy\: An American Secretary\, Her Royal Destiny\, and the Inspiring Story of How She Changed an African Village (Doubleday) is the story of how she found herself king of a town of 7\,000. It's the kind of story which calls to question—\;whose lives were more changed\, the townspeople or King Peggy. This should be fun. \\"This is an astonishing and wonderful book about a real-life Mma Ramotswe. It is an utter joy.\\" – Alexander McCall Smith. Free admission. For more information on this evening\, please call Elliott Bay Book Company at (206) 624-6600 The Northwest African American Museum (www.naamnw.org) is at 2300 S. Massachusetts Street.

Each month\, the Elliott Bay Book Club reads and discusses the best in contemporary fiction with the occasional classic thrown in for good measure. Our March selection is The Slaves of Solitude by Patrick Hamilton.
England is in the middle of World War II\, a war that seems fated to go on forever\, a war that has become a way of life. Heroic resistance is old hat. Everything is in short supply\, and tempers are even shorter. Overwhelmed by the terrors and rigors of the Blitz\, middle-aged Miss Roach has retreated to the relative safety and stupefying boredom of the suburban town of Thames Lockdon\, where she rents a room in boarding house run by Mrs. Payne. There the savvy\, sensible\, decent\, but all-too-meek Miss Roach endures the dinner-table interrogations of Mr. Thwaites and seeks to relieve her solitude by going out drinking and necking with a wayward American lieutenant. Life is almost bearable until Vicki Kugelmann\, a seeming friend\, moves into the adjacent room. That's when Miss Roach's troubles really begin.

Recounting an epic battle of wills in the claustrophobic confines of the boarding house\, Hamilton's The Slaves of Solitude\, with a delightfully improbable heroine\, is one of the finest and funniest books ever written about the trials of a lonely heart.
