SUMMARY:92Y Presents: Girls Who Run the World
DESCRIPTION:Journalist and author of Girls Who Run the World: 31 CEOs Who Mean Business Diana Kapp talks with Rebecca Blumenstein\, Managing Editor of the New York Times. \nStudies show that 23 percent of fifth grade girls think they are not smart enough to pursue their dream career\, and by high school this number has doubled. 30 percent of young women with GPAs of 4.0 and higher say they don’t have the brains to succeed in business. And yet businesses founded by women\, data shows\, routinely outperform those started by men. Do our girls need more moxie\, more math\, more freedom to fail\, tougher skin? Why do so few women become entrepreneurs\, and what is special about those that do? In her new book\, Diana Kapp has profiled the powerhouse women behind Glossier\, 23andMe\, Spanx\, NextDoor\, Stitch Fix\, Soul Cycle\, Rent the Runway\, Birchbox\, Uncharted Power\, Pop Sugar and more. What can we learn from them about inspiring the next generation of girls to found the companies of the future? \nA book signing follows the event.

SUMMARY:Designing Babies: How Technology Is Changing the Ways We Create Children
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THE BOOK \nSince the first “test tube baby” was born over 40 years ago\, In Vitro Fertilization and other Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ARTs) have advanced in extraordinary ways\, producing millions of babies. The possibilities of this rapidly developing technology are astounding–especially in the United States. As these possibilities are increasingly realized\, physicians in many specialties\, from OB/GYN and pediatrics to genetics\, internal medicine and psychiatry\, along with potential parents and policymakers\, face complex and critical questions about the use–or possible misuse–of ARTs. Designing Babies: How Technology is Changing the Ways We Create Children confronts these questions\, examining the medical\, ethical\, social\, and policy concerns surrounding reproductive technologies. Based on in-depth interviews with providers and patients\, Robert Klitzman explores how physicians and patients are facing quandaries of whether\, when\, and how to use ARTs. He articulates the full range of these crucial issues\, from the economic pressures patients face to the moral and social challenges encountered in making decisions \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nRobert Klitzman\, MD\, is a professor of psychiatry at the College of Physicians and Surgeons and the Joseph Mailman School of Public Health\, and the director of the online and in-person Bioethics Masters and Certificate Programs at Columbia University.

SUMMARY:Dr. Azra Raza: The Human Costs of Pursuing Cancer to the Last
DESCRIPTION:Are we fighting cancer wrong? \nAzra Raza is the Chan Soon-Shiong professor of medicine and the director of the MDS Center at Columbia University. A world-class oncologist\, she has cared for thousands of cancer patients. Yet in her highly acclaimed new book\, The First Cell\, she asks why so little progress has been made in diagnosing and treating cancer over the past few decades. Despite all the hype to the contrary\, she says\, we have lost the war on cancer. We spend $150 billion each year treating it—yet succeed in most cases in adding mere months to a patient’s life at agonizing physical and financial cost. \nSo what are the alternatives? Join her for a profoundly illuminating\, realistic\, and positive conversation about her book and about how we should move forward in treating cancer with science\, wisdom\, and grace.

SUMMARY:Dan Abrams with Megyn Kelly: Defending the Enemy
DESCRIPTION:The shots that rang out on a frigid Boston evening in March 1770 almost launched a revolution after British soldiers killed five colonists in cold blood. What exactly led to the incident has never been fully understood\, yet to the city’s angry residents\, there was only one possible outcome. \nA young attorney named John Adams\, however\, refused to allow his revolutionary zeal to overshadow the rule of law. Determined that the soldiers’ trial be fair\, the man who would become America’s second president defended them\, establishing principles that would soon become enshrined in our law. \nIn the riveting prose of Dan Abrams and David Fisher\, that trial becomes more than a historical footnote. As in their previous bestselling presidential legal historical tomes\, Abrams and Fisher use an original transcript from the trial to transport readers back in time\, capturing the integrity of a man who would help shape a nation. \nModerated by Megyn Kelly\, attorney and former anchor on Fox News and NBC. \n$30 includes a copy of the book

SUMMARY:Unrealism: New Figurative Painting
DESCRIPTION:Figuration is one of the oldest art forms\, but it continually evolves\, along with our changing understanding of human identity. Aria Dean\, Sam McKinniss\, Ebecho Muslimova A’10\, and Tschabalala Self discuss contemporary figurative painting of the last five years in a free\, public event. Alison Gingeras moderates. \nThe featured artists often source imagery from the Internet\, and draw on aesthetics developed in Internet-first channels. Digital techniques and affordances are incorporated into rendering processes with traditional media: brushstrokes are more precise\, lines are sharper\, and color is more highly keyed. In these works\, expressionism is located more in the composition than in the paint handling. \nThis event launches Rizzoli’s Unrealism: New Figurative Painting. Copies will be available for sale by The Strand.

SUMMARY:Jessica Valenti and Jaclyn Friedman: Believe Me
DESCRIPTION:Harvey Weinstein. Brett Kavanaugh. Jeffrey Epstein. Donald Trump. The most infamous abusers in modern American history are being outed as women speak up to publicly expose behavior that was previously only whispered about — and it’s both making an impact\, and sparking a backlash. From the leading\, agenda-setting feminist editors of Yes Means Yes\, Believe Me brings readers into the evolving landscape of the movement against sexual violence\, and outlines how trusting women is the critical foundation for future progress. \nIn Believe Me\, contributors ask and answer the crucial question: What would happen if we didn’t just believe women\, but acted as though they matter? If we take women’s experiences of online harassment seriously\, it will transform the internet. If we listen to and center survivors\, we could revolutionize our systems of justice. If we believe Black women when they talk about pain\, we will save countless lives. \nMoira Donegan is a writer and feminist living in New York. She is an opinion columnist at the Guardian and a former editor of n+1 and the New Republic.

SUMMARY:The Big Thaw: Ancient Carbon\, Modern Science\, and a Race to Save the World
DESCRIPTION:Permafrost—dark\, ice-flaked\, permanently frozen ground that lies under tundra and boreal forests across our northern regions—covers more than 12 percent of the earth’s land surface. It exists in places that seem otherworldly and unimaginably remote to most of us\, but the changes taking place in the permafrost layer may ultimately affect the lives of every person on Earth. \nThe permafrost layer contains a vast store of ancient carbon\, more than four times the quantity found in all of today’s forests. It is like a ticking “carbon bomb”\, releasing carbon dioxide and methane as the permafrost thaws. Braving hordes of mosquitoes\, quicksand\, and extreme temperatures\, researchers are racing against the clock to educate us about the changes we must make to preserve Earth’s carbon balance. \nArctic scientist Max Holmes and photographer Chris Linder will share stories about their work studying and photographing thawing permafrost in Siberia and the Arctic. Their new book The Big Thaw: Ancient Carbon\, Modern Science\, and a Race to Save the World will be available for purchase and signing after the presentation.
