SUMMARY:Unmasking Mengele
DESCRIPTION:One of the most notorious war criminals of all time\, Dr. Josef Mengele has come to symbolize both the evil of the Nazi regime and the failure of justice in the postwar world. \nDrawing on new scholarship and sources\, historian David G. Marwell examines Mengele’s life and career\, chronicling his university studies\, which led to two PhDs and a promising career as a scientist; his wartime service\, in combat and at Auschwitz\, where his “selections” determined the fate of countless innocents and his “scientific” pursuits resulted in the traumatization and death of thousands more; and his postwar refuge in Germany and South America. Mengele describes the international search in 1985\, which ended in a cemetery in São Paulo\, Brazil\, and the dogged forensic investigation that produced overwhelming evidence that Mengele had died—but failed to convince those who\, arguably\, most wanted him dead. This is a story of science without limits\, escape without freedom\, and resolution without justice. \nA book signing follows the event.

SUMMARY:Dying of Whiteness: How the Politics of Racial Resentment Is Killing America's Heartland
DESCRIPTION:With the rise of the Tea Party and the election of Donald Trump\, many middle- and lower-income white Americans threw their support behind conservative politicians who pledged to make life great again for people like them. As Jonathan Metzl shows\, the right-wing policies that resulted from this white backlash put these voters’ very health at risk—and in the end\, threaten everyone’s well-being. Having interviewed a range of Americans\, he uncovers how racial anxieties led to the repeal of gun control laws in Missouri\, stymied the Affordable Care Act in Tennessee\, and fueled massive cuts to schools and social services in Kansas. Although such measures promised to restore greatness to white America\, Metzl’s systematic analysis of health data dramatically reveals they did just the opposite: these policies made life sicker\, harder\, and shorter in the very populations they purported to aid. Thus\, white gun suicides soared\, life expectancies fell\, and school dropout rates rose. Based on his new book of the same title\, Metzl’s talk demonstrates just how much white America would benefit by emphasizing cooperation\, rather than by chasing false promises of supremacy. \nAbout the Speaker \nJonathan Metzl is the Frederick B. Rentschler II Professor of Sociology and Psychiatry\, and the Director of the Center for Medicine\, Health\, and Society\, at Vanderbilt University in Nashville\, Tennessee.

SUMMARY:Martin Luther King and Mary Shelley

SUMMARY:Book Launch for Seven Sisters and a Brother—Untold Truths Behind Black Student Activism in the 1960s
DESCRIPTION:Untold Truths Behind Black Student Activism in the 1960s: Marilyn Allman Maye\, Harold S. Buchanan\, Jannette O. Domingo and Marilyn Holifield with Brent Staples \n\n\n\n\nHenry Louis Gates\, Jr. has called Seven Sisters and a Brother “compelling portraits of the lives of the young people who risked their futures to make a difference.” \nFour of the eight authors will sit down with Brent Staples of the New York Times to discuss their experiences as activists in an elite liberal arts college in the 1960s. When the eight students at Swarthmore College demanded a Black Studies curriculum and protested the decreased enrollment and hiring of African Americans in 1969\, the peaceful protest was misreported through a negative lens. This long overdue choral memoir chronicles their eight-day sit-in. It is a story of great relevance at a time in which first-generation college students and millennial activists have demonstrated a desire for increased political engagement. According to Congresswoman Donna Shalala\, “Theirs is a story of the power of collective action\, the value of shared identity\, and the thrill of progress.” \nA book signing follows the event.

So why did she feel miserable? And why did it seem that other Generation X women were miserable\, too? \nCalhoun decided to find some answers. She looked into housing costs\, HR trends\, credit card debt averages\, and divorce data. At every turn\, she saw a pattern: sandwiched between the Boomers and the Millennials\, Gen X women were facing new problems as they entered middle age\, problems that were being largely overlooked. \nSpeaking with women across America about their experiences as the generation raised to “have it all\,” Calhoun found that most were exhausted\, terrified about money\, under-employed\, and overwhelmed. Instead of being heard\, they were told instead to lean in\, take “me-time\,” or make a chore chart to get their lives and homes in order. \nIn Why We Can’t Sleep\, Calhoun opens up the cultural and political contexts of Gen X’s predicament and offers solutions for how to pull oneself out of the abyss—and keep the next generation of women from falling in. The result is reassuring\, empowering\, and essential reading for all middle-aged women\, and anyone who hopes to understand them.

SUMMARY:The Iconic Flatiron Building
DESCRIPTION:When the Flatiron Building was erected in 1902\, critics savaged it. But this oddly-shaped building at the intersection of 23rd Street\, Broadway and Fifth Avenue immediately won New Yorkers’ hearts. In later years\, as the surrounding neighborhood turned shabby\, the Flatiron remained a beloved symbol of New York. \nJournalist Alice Sparberg Alexiou\, author of The Flatiron: The New York Landmark and the Extraordinary City That Arose With It\, will talk about what this iconic structure means to the city\, the world\, and to her. The book formed the basis for a documentary that was part of the ongoing WNET series Treasures of New York. \nAlexiou is also the author of Jane Jacobs\, Urban Visionary and Devil’s Mile: The Rich\, Gritty History of the Bowery.

SUMMARY:Daniel Levitin: Successful Aging
DESCRIPTION:Author of the iconic bestsellers This Is Your Brain on Music and The Organized Mind\, Daniel Levitin turns his keen insights to what happens in our brains as we age\, why we should think about health span\, not life span\, and\, based on a rigorous analysis of neuroscientific evidence\, what you can do to make the most of your seventies\, eighties\, and nineties today no matter how old you are now.\n\nSuccessful Aging uses research from developmental neuroscience and the psychology of individual differences to show that sixty-plus years is a unique developmental stage that\, like infancy or adolescence\, has its own demands and distinct advantages. Levitin looks at the science behind what we all can learn from those who age joyously\, as well as how to adapt our culture to take full advantage of older people’s wisdom and experience. Throughout his exploration of what aging really means\, Levitin reveals resilience strategies and practical\, cognitive enhancing tricks everyone should do as they age. \nThe book is packed with accessible and discussable takeaways\, providing great material for reading groups and media coverage. \nSuccessful Aging inspires a powerful new approach to how readers think about our final decades\, and it will revolutionize the way we plan for old age as individuals\, family members\, and citizens within a society where the average life expectancy continues to rise. \nJoin us in the Rare Book room at The Strand for the release of Levitin’s new book. \nDoors open at 6:30pm. \nAdmission: $15 \nAdmission with signed copy of the book: $30

SUMMARY:Thomas More's Utopia
DESCRIPTION:Using Thomas More’s Utopia as our foundation\, we’ll examine our own state of mental and emotional health in present day society during this living room Olio event with professor Patricia Kim. \n​Why does the future look so bleak? And what does that have to do with the state of our individual and collective mental health? \nMuch of the dialogue in this Olio will be about our own state of mental and emotional affairs. History is a collection of traumatic events that have been scripted in human blood and mortality and we have all been dropped into its narrative miasma. This makes for a great deal of stress that we will collectively take on in an ad hoc group therapy modality. We will use Thomas More’s ‘Utopia’ to frame our undeniably parallel social issues and better understand not just the text\, but ourselves as individuals. We’ll begin by examining trauma and its aftermath (both historically and presently) and end with examining the following NYC Dept. of Health’s statistic: that 1 in 5 New Yorkers has a mental disorder. We will then look at how depression and anxiety (two of the most prevalent diagnoses) have affected our present\, and perhaps\, more importantly\, their effects on our collective future. \nQuestions to think about: \nWhat are More’s thoughts on social ills and their relationship to mental illness? What are yours?\nWould More be surprised at the state of our society today? Why or why not? \nWhat are the ways in which we can collectively work to become a healthier community/society? \nAbout the Teacher: \nPatricia Kim received her MFA from Columbia University and teaches Composition and Literature classes at Baruch College while completing a novel.
