<p><p>Mother Goose Story Times presents <i>'Rhyme Time'</i> at the <b>Seventrees Branch Library</b>.  Come participate in a program of rhymes, songs, and stories for children 12-23 months and their caregivers.  To ensure a rewarding experience for all who attend story time, we encourage you and your child to arrive on time, listen attentively, and participate.

<p><p>Research shows that reading books and having regular conversations with children -- even long before they can speak -- makes them better thinkers, better communicators and, eventually, better readers. Learn the joy of reading, singing and playing with language in a group setting during storytimes with trained staff who adapt the activities to the age ranges and attention spans of the children in each group.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>An exhibit of fun and creative photos taken by local photographer Steven Shpall. Shpall's manipulated images have been making their mark in local competitions for the past five years, winning a first place in the manipulated images category in last year's 17th Annual Palo Alto Weekly Photo Contestlast year for his picture <i>Animal Crackers</i> (pictured). Originally from Denver Colorado, Shpall moved to Palo Alto for the schools and the weather. Now Shpall works as a dermatologist and has lived in Palo Alto for more than 20 years.</p>
<p>Although he has been involved with photography for quite some time -- he once had a darkroom in his home -- he didn't start taking it seriously until recently. He enjoyed taking pictures of his children growing up, but a digital camera he got as a present from his wife changed his perspective on photography.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Donna Orme works from vaguely felt thoughts and feelings expressed in the colors and forms which emerge through her art. Her world revolves around creating mixed media and printmaking artwork, such as the current body of cast acrylic monotypes. The works incorporate an interplay of space, color, circles and lines as she searches for new and creative expressions. Constant reminders of unfinished works prompt Donna to action. Fascinated by the jars of colored paint in her studio, she ponders the project for the day. The colors will need to be mixed together to achieve the desired consistency, tone and value for the current pieces that are being developed. Donna moves to express what is inside her, so the experimentation begins. The artworks start to guide her toward a completed work.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>The Biennial is a celebration of creativity at the intersection of art, technology, and digital culture; the theme for the 2010 Biennial is <em>Build Your Own World</em>. &ldquo;The best way to predict the future is to invent it,&rdquo; posited Alan Kay. This idea encapsulates the <em>Build Your Own World </em>theme where: The future is not about what&rsquo;s next; it&rsquo;s about what we can build to ensure that what&rsquo;s next matters. How can we, as resourceful, innovative, and knowledgeable local and global citizens build and participate in a desirable future in the face of global climate change, economic meltdown, political instability, and cultural divisiveness?</p>
<p>The 2010 01SJ Biennial is predicated on the notion that as artists, designers, engineers, architects, marketers, corporations and citizens we have the tools to (re)build the world, conceptually and actually, virtually and physically, poorly and better, aesthetically and pragmatically, in both large and small ways. Under the theme &ldquo;Build Your Own World,&rdquo; the 3rd 01SJ Biennial will present a broad range of exemplary work, which not only imagines the future (world) but builds it.</p>
<p>The 3rd 01SJ Biennial will take place September 15-19, 2010, throughout San Jose. It is about how powerful ideas and innovative individuals from around the world can make a difference and come together to build a unique, city-wide platform for creative solutions and public engagement. It is about the inspiration needed to build a world we want to live in and are able to live with.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>The History Guild of Daly City/Colma officially opened the Daly City History Museum at a ribbon cutting ceremony held on March 15, 2009. The museum is in the building that formerly housed the John Daly Library near the <em>Top of the Hill</em>. Volunteers from the History Guild spent months moving and cataloguing photographs, documents and artifacts that had been displayed in the mini-museum in the Serramonte Library.</p>
<p>Among the exhibits at the museum is a collection of equipment and memorabilia commemorating the 100 year anniversary of the Daly City Fire Department.The display is located in the center of the Ken and Bunny Gillespie Room and includes badges, photos, and a fully restored 1907 hand-drawn chemical cart. History Guild members named the room in honor of Daly City&rsquo;s longtime historians.</p>
<p>Guild members will serve as greeters and hosts. The museum will have expanded displays that afford an overview of local history from 1859 to the present. Special seasonal and commemorative exhibits will be featured.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>This concert features carefully selected, exceptional young performers, many from the Bay Area. Each has won in prestigious local or national piano competitions. This concert is eagerly anticipated by many Bay Area families and Steinway Society friends who all agree: performances by these dedicated, enthusiastic, and tremendously talented up-and-coming young musicians can be every bit as spine-tingling and memorable in their own way as performances by our more seasoned artists.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p><em>Meccano-Mania, </em>an exhibit of models by world-renowned modeler Charlie Pack, offers a glimpse into the model crafter&rsquo;s world of the early 20th century. A giant Ferris wheel, a rocket-jet ride, a cable car railway and an unusual no-rail &rdquo;railway&rdquo; are among the operating models that go through their paces in this unusual and enlightening exhibit. Many of the models are operating classics of their type; some were custom-built for this display. Be they whimsical, serious or historical, all are great fun.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Our beloved bobcats, Tule and Rufus, are getting a new home! The Zoo&rsquo;s current aviary will be transformed into a big cat haven that more closely mirror&rsquo;s the animals&rsquo; natural habitat. Structural and exhibit enhancements will also be designed to create a better visitor experience. Highlights of the project include an increased exhibit height and square footage; new, non-reflective glass to increase visibility; a&nbsp;more natural setting with sloped landscaping, soil, grass, plants, a large tree, heated rocks, pond and a waterfall; a child-size crawlspace to allow safe and playful, eye-to-eye views of the bobcats; exhibit accessories such as touchable bobcat furs, skulls and other animal artifacts that allow for a more tactile exploration of the animal residents; a&nbsp;whimsical bobcat pretend-habitat and costumes for kids to wear while engaging in imaginative &quot;bobcat play&quot;; improved interpretive signage to benefit both parents and children; and a new &ldquo;behind-the-scenes&rdquo; animal observation and treatment area.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Preparatory Orchestra directed by Kris Yenney (PACO &rsquo;74) further explores and develops fundamentals introduced in the SuperStrings ensemble. More challenging orchestral and ensemble repertoire is prepared for public performances as the budding artists further refine the process of creating music together. One Winter concert and one Spring concert highlight the season and occasional opportunities to perform in the community add valuable experience. Orchestra members are given opportunities to play solo parts or to conduct a rehearsal or performance and the occasional addition of soloists or supplimental wind players allow Preparatory Orchestra to perform a broader range of repertoire. Program TBA.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>SuperStrings, comprised of the youngest PACO students, introduces the basic elements of ensemble playing to young string players with limited orchestral experience but having had a few years of private study. Under the direction of Kris Yenney (PACO &rsquo;74), an emphasis is placed on creating a positive environment where the love of music and of playing together is fostered for a lifetime of enjoyment. As at all PACO levels, competitiveness is minimized in favor of cooperation, wherein each player is equally valuable to the whole. In addition to weekly rehearsals, each SuperStrings member is placed in a smaller chamber ensemble which practices under the supervision of a parent, a member of Senior PACO, or a local professional. SuperStrings&rsquo; two annual concerts feature works for the orchestra as well as performances by these chamber ensembles. Program TBA.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p><em>Note: This exhibition has been extended beyond its original closing date.</em></p>
<p><em>In Between&nbsp;</em>is an&nbsp;art exhibition that examines Silicon Valley's varied and colorful growth through&nbsp;visual media and shared narratives. It&nbsp;is a gathering of artists who do or see things in a fresh way, who investigate and rethink the status quo, upset common perceptions, embrace the unknown, and change the game. It is language-oriented, yet not confined by language. Age-old tradition is combined with street art, technology, animation, music, etc.&nbsp;</p>
<p>This exhibition&nbsp;brings together people from different generations and cultures, working with different aspects of the community, stretching across boundaries. This outreach is nourished in the constantly re-inventive Silicon Valley and in the vibrant Bay Area, where tradition and new ideas abound.</p>
<p>A reception with the artists takes place on Tuesday, November 10th from 5:30pm-7:30pm.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Sprinkled with a helpful handful of hints and tips (for example, how to find literary agents), this workshop is designed to inspire aspiring authors and boost their chances of getting published. Participants will follow the behind-the-scenes journey of a manuscript through the publication process, briefly discuss the children&rsquo;s book market, and check out the option of self-publishing.</p>
<p>Bring a pen, paper, and your questions. Other highlights include a couple of quick creativity exercises and an &ldquo;Ask the Editor&rdquo; Q&amp;A session. Presenter: veteran book editor Laurie Gibson, who serves both experienced and first-time authors by gently helping to improve their writing&mdash;and their chances of getting published.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>The boom and rumble of giant machines in the noisy gloom of night shift in a foundry merged and emerged from the distant past in Joseph Zirker&rsquo;s monotypes as imagined mechanical devices. These images, mostly black and white, are accompanied by playful Calder-esque sculptures constructed of paper that &ldquo;represent in three dimensions a dual need to both translate and objectify the feelings and ideas that have preoccupied my printmaking in two dimensions&rdquo; according to Zirker.</p>
<p>He explains, &ldquo;Artists who make monotypes are painters who find themselves working backwards and enjoying drawing and painting on plate surfaces that, when printed, reveal the image in reverse.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The exhibition, which opens in the Peninsula Museum of Art&rsquo;s gallery on January 17, 2010, continues through March 28. Robert Flynn Johnson, Curator Emeritas of the Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts, is the guest curator for <em>Machines of Memory</em>.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Laurie Anderson is one of America&rsquo;s most renowned&mdash;and daring&mdash;creative pioneers. Recognized worldwide as a leader in the use of technology in the arts, Anderson is known widely for her multimedia presentations, casting herself in roles as varied as visual artist, composer, poet, photographer, filmmaker, electronics whiz, vocalist, and instrumentalist.</p>
<p>In her new work, <em>Delusion</em>, which will debut at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games and be presented by Stanford Lively Arts on May 5, Anderson explores sound and stories in a series of short plays. Using her inventions in vocal processing, signature violin pieces and lush sonic landscapes Anderson creates and inhabits imaginary worlds that become mental movies. Conceived as a ninety-minute technodrama, the new work combines technology, mystery and contemporary short stories in a unique new art form.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Ante Buljan is displaying medium-sized pieces in marble and bronze, although he is best known in San Mateo County for his 12-foot bronze and granite<em> The Guardian</em> which was commissioned by Redwood City for the entrance to its new police department complex. Born in Croatia but a Californian since the age of 9, he has family and cultural ties on both continents. In 1995, he completed a baptismal font for the Croatian Catholic Mission Assumption of Mary church in San Jose that he carved from a two-ton block of fossilized limestone quarried off the Dalmatian coast. Another limestone sculpture was commissioned for the entryway of the Croatian Embassy in Washington, D.C.</p>
<p>A graduate of UCLA (psychology), Buljan also studied at John F. Kennedy University in Orinda. For several years he maintained a working studio in the 1870 Art Center in Belmont. A native San Franciscan, Marion Finn moved to the Peninsula in 1951. She began her art career at College of San Mateo 30 years ago, and has exhibited her work throughout the Bay Area. She uses mallet and chisels (and lots of sandpaper) to create her sculpture in fine hardwoods in her studio at the 1870 Art Center.</p>
<p>The four sculptures presented by Marion Finn were all carved in black walnut wood. Two, <em>Trinity </em>and <em>The Long and the Short of It</em>, are five feet tall. She also works in exotic woods (ebony and rosewood). &ldquo;Wood is a living matter that lives again through the creativity of the artist&rdquo;, according to Finn. Her sculptural forms are based on both human and animal motifs, ranging from pure abstraction to representation.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Vroom in the room! There is a lot of horsepower coming out of this three cylinder, turbo charged Jazz engine. Based in downtown San Jose, The Jazz Mechanics have emerged from their machine shop, crafting a new modern voice in Jazz. This hopped-up trio expands the genre of improvisational music, performing largely original compositions that draw on a variety of influences including bebop jazz, R&amp;B grooves and Balkan melodies. Together, the Jazz Mechanics are a finely tuned jazz machine that infuse rock and roll energy into their performances and draw the audience in for a rich and dynamic experience.</p></p>]]></description>

<p>The roots of this music can be traced through a wonderful interweaving of oral and written traditions, in which favorite tunes have been printed again and again in tunebooks and hymnals, carried in the memories of generation after generation of singers, recorded on 78s, LPs, CDs, and mp3s, and have sometimes even become huge commercial hits.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>This exhibition features the works of six Bay Area Chicana artists who explore the intentional use of indigenous elements as a conscious spiritual and aesthetic choice. In bringing an intentional spiritual element to their work and subsequently to the museum, Chicana artists are challenging conventional mainstream art content. These women have done the rigorous work of reconnecting, remapping their ancestry. They not only live it, but put it forth in their work in a way that forces us to revisit historical mistruths as well as current global conflicts around land and the use of natural resources.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>This exhibition is the culmination of nearly a decade of photographic work that deals with the relationship humans have with the natural world, and how this shifting relationship can be variously interpreted. Throughout the 1990's, Barnes worked as the photographer for the joint Yale/University of Pennsylvania excavations in Egypt. This experience led him to consider ways we think about and depict the past.</p>
<p>Drawing on the collections of such varied institutions as the Museum of Comparative Anatomy in Paris, the Natural History Museum in Venice, the California Academy of Sciences, and the Smithsonian Institution, the work examines the evolution of the natural history museum through techniques of display and exhibition developed over centuries. Barnes, a Rome Prize recipient, has his photographs included in numerous prestigious public collections, and his work has been widely published and exhibited.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Master painter and printmaker Nathan Oliveira is renowned for exploring personal subjects that link to broader themes of the human condition. Endowing his work in both two- and three-dimensions with a tactile quality that underscores the intimacy of his explorations, Oliveira&rsquo;s prodigious output over almost fifty years has earned him a well-deserved reputation as one of American art&rsquo;s key figures.</p>
<p>Although art historians have tended to define Oliveira as a representative of the Bay Area&rsquo;s figurative school, his work has extended into many other subjects as well. This exhibition, curated especially for the Thompson Gallery,&nbsp;features a comprehensive display of monotypes, paintings, and sculptures that are part of his Site works.</p>
<p>These are individual pieces that may suggest specific geographic or topographic places but yet are images that arise from the artist&rsquo;s imagination, referencing visceral or ancestral impressions, memories, and associations. Warm colors and emblematic imagery draw the viewer in, enabling each of us to experience the grounding that such sense of place can provide. Drawn almost entirely from the artist&rsquo;s own collection, this special display will honor the compelling expressions of Nathan Oliveira&rsquo;s remarkable and extensive career.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Long before blogs, tweets, and sound bites, people were telling the world how they felt in brief, blunt bursts of information plastered on the backs of their cars. Whether they&rsquo;re political or religious, passionate or proud, controversial or corny, these brightly colored, boldly lettered mini manifestos are declarations of who we are, where we stand, and what we&rsquo;d rather be doing. But as bestselling author and noted philosopher Jack Bowen reveals, there&rsquo;s much more to the pop-culture phenomenon of bumper stickers than rolling one-liners and drive-by propaganda&mdash;no less, in fact, than a wise, funny, poignant, contentious, and truthful discourse on the human condition.<br />
<br />
Mixing pop culture with the ideas of historically prominent philosophers and scientists, <em>If You Can Read This</em> exposes the deeper wisdom couched behind these slogans&mdash;or, as need be, exposes where they have gone wrong. If you brake for big ideas, now&rsquo;s the time.</p>
<p>Jack graduated from Stanford with Honors in Human Biology. He went on to earn a Masters Degree in Philosophy from California State University, Long Beach graduating Summa Cum Laude. Following a six-year stint teaching philosophy and ethics at De Anza College, he has settled at Menlo School where he teaches philosophy and coaches water polo.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>It&rsquo;s said a picture is worth a 1,000 words. And as with the well-composed essay, the well-composed photograph can evoke thoughts and feelings in the viewer&rsquo;s mind. This year&rsquo;s theme, &ldquo;Through a Lens: Energy, Strength or Power&rdquo; is about conveying a sense of energy, a sense of strength, or a sense of power to the viewer using only your image.</p>
<p>In 2004, Michael H. Kellicutt held the first Coastal Arts League juried photo show, naming it <em>Through a Lens</em>. Widely known by photographers on the San Mateo County Coast, Michael was a photographer and a photo educator, who encouraged others to view their photography not just as pictures, but also as art. The juried show was another way for Michael to vitalize fine art photography in the local community, and it was his hope to bring this to a global scale.</p>
<p>For more information about the show, jurors, contest and how to enter, please visit the official website.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Modernbook Gallery is pleased to bring together the work of photographers Holly Roberts and Charles Grogg for an intriguing new exhibition. Eschewing the glossy, untouchable ideal that is normally associated with the medium, both artists create tactile objects that incorporate, yet transcend, their photographic works, investigating the ideas of fragmentation and reconstruction.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p><em>Rocking Stitch</em> is a solo exhibition featuring photographs of imaginary landscapes by emerging artist Sara Chestnutt-Fry. Chestnutt-Fry combines her digital photographs of contemporary urban landscapes with family snapshots taken by her parents and grandparents to create virtual fairytales. Using a visual vocabulary that moves between representation and surrealism, Chestnutt-Fry composes photographic images of people and places from the past and present in surprising and unexpected ways.</p>
<p>Layered with meaning, her images suggest many narrative interpretations. They also express her nostalgic sense of wonder and curiosity about her family history as she explores ideas about personal identity, place, and American culture.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Mixed Media by Susan Goldsmith, Serigraphs and Mixed Media by Nancy Hom, and Paintings and Mixed Media by Larry Richardson will be on exhibit.</p>
<p>Susan Goldsmith&rsquo;s work is inspired by the beauty of nature. Her photographs of trees are on the walls of her studio. She builds up the surface on the canvas or panel with translucent layers of acrylic paint, applying it with her hands rather than with brushes.</p>
<p>Over the last thirty-three years, Nancy Hom&rsquo;s work has been mainly for community events and causes. Her experience as an immigrant, mother, community leader, and spiritual seeker provide the framework for her visual and literary pursuits. Best known for her silkscreen artwork, she has created numerous iconic images for community events, as well as political and social causes.</p>
<p>As an artist, Larry Richardson has always wanted to express the beauty in his African heritage. Color and line give a deep sense of emotion and movement. Many of his paintings are an extension of the classical form of figurative painting, making statements on culture and the human condition, while others parallel classic statements made by artists of the past.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>The Fog Fest is a celebration of sun, sand, and surf that defines life on the coast. The festival was created in 1986 to promote Pacifica and to celebrate our marvelous coastal climate. The last full weekend of September was chosen because historically the weather is unbeatable. The Fog Fest kicks off Saturday morning at 10 am with the Discover Pacifica Parade and Marching Band Competition. Arts and Crafts booths, Food and Beverage booths and a variety of activities begin after the parade.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>This button show and sale is the first event for the Santa Clara Valley Button Club. The show celebrates the 30th anniversary of the club and there will be prize drawings to commemorate our birthday. The SCVBC is a member of the California State Button Society and the National Button Society.</p>
<p>Members collect and appreciate a variety of clothing buttons, beginning with historic early American and European miniature artwork to modern fashion buttons that are produced all over the world. They study buttons and classify them according to the material or subject matter on the buttons. They compete with buttons at State and National Shows. Buttons will be traded and sold at this show. They have three button artists in the club who create buttons from wood, gourds, minerals and cloth.</p>
<p>Elleraine Lockie, author of <em>All Because of a Button</em>, will have her books for sale at the show. Collectors will be on hand to answer questions about buttons. If you have curious buttons that you might have found or inherited, members may be able to explain the significance of your buttons. There will be guides and related nostalgic pieces for sale.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>The De Anza Flea Market is held the first Saturday of each month, rain or shine, in Campus Parking Lots A and B. When the weather is good, this huge event&nbsp;will typically draw approximately 15,000 to 20,000 shoppers. It began as a small effort by the students of De Anza College to raise money for the student body&nbsp;decades ago and has grown into an established community event, attracting vendors and patrons from throughout the state. The Flea Market is still a student enterprise, with the De Anza Associated Student Body paying for all of the expenses and gaining approximately $300,000 annually for a variety of programs, services and events at De Anza College.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>On the night John Stoll was roused from his bed and carted off to jail, his attitude bordered on the cavalier. &quot;Aren't you worried?&quot; His lawyer wondered. &quot;Hell no, I ain't worried,&quot; John answered. &quot;I didn't do this. You can't convict me of something I didn't do.&quot; It was more than two decades before John Stoll was free again.</p>
<p>Executive Producer Sean Penn proudly presents <em>Witch Hunt</em>, a gripping indictment of the United States justice system told through the lens of one small town. It's John Stoll's story, but it's also the story of dozens of other men and women who found themselves ensnared in a spiral of fear, ignorance and hysteria. These people are Americans, working class moms and dads, who were rounded up with little or no evidence, charged and convicted of almost unimaginable crimes. All sexual. All crimes against children. Years, sometimes decades later, they would find freedom again, but their lives and the lives of their children would be changed forever. This film shows viewers what the real crime in this case is, not molestation, but the crime of coercion. Viewers hear from the child witnesses who were forced to lie on the witness stand as they describe scary sessions with sheriff's deputies in which they were told -- not asked -- about sexual experiences that happened to them. Their coerced testimony led to dozens of convictions. Many times their own parents were the ones they put behind bars.</p>
<p>Narrated by Sean Penn; directed by Dana Nachman &amp; Don Hardy. Not Yet Rated ; 91 min, 2009. Introduced by Northern California Innocence Project Legal Director, Linda Starr &amp; film production team!</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>The Food Film Series continues in May! This Academy Award-winner for Best Foreign Language Film was a big art house hit, spawning a whole international subgenre, &quot;foodie&quot; (films about the liberating effects of good food). It's adapted from a story by Isak Dinesen about two sisters in a 19th century Calvinist settlement in Denmark who, under their late father's rigorous spiritual dictates, pass up their chances for romance and worldly success. Years pass; they grow into charitable old spinsters and one day a French war refugee, Babette (St&eacute;phane Audran), comes to work for them. Life goes quietly one for years until one day Babette decides to prepare a lavish gourmet dinner for the elders of the town, even though the thought of such decadence makes the sisters fear for their Christian souls. This all may sound rather dull to some viewers, but rest assured, no one who has seen this film has ever regretted it. Even with its measured pacing and austere emotional palette this remains a riveting experience from the first frame to the last. The acting is marvelously naturalistic, and the cinematography evokes the dark beauty of 19th century Scandinavian paintings, rendering the ancient, white-whiskered faces of the villagers, the windswept coastline, the wood-hewn interiors, and of course the incredible food, with a vital, deeply felt reverence that lingers in the mind long after the film is over. Directed by Gabriel Axel. In Danish &amp; French with subtitles. Rated G. 103 min, 1988.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>The Food Film Series continues in July! <em>Eat Drink Man Woman</em> is a Taiwanese film directed by Ang Lee and starring Sihung Lung, Yu-wen Wang, Chien-lien Wu, Kuei-mei Yang. This film tells the story of a semi-retired and widowed Chinese master chef Chu (Sihung Lung) and his family living in modern day Taipei, Taiwan. At the start of the film, he lives with his three attractive daughters, all of whom are unattached: Jia-Jen, a chemistry teacher converted to Christianity, Jia-Chien, an airline executive, and Jia-Ning, a student who also works in a fast food restaurant. Chu is at a loss when it comes to the ingredients of being a father. Every Sunday, he whips up a delicacy of dishes for his ungrateful daughters, who are so self-consumed that they don't see his attempt at showing them love gastronomically.So, as relationships sour and communications break down, Chu concocts a sure-fire recipe that will bring his family back together: He creates his own love affair to rival his daughters' affections!</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Gabry lives a quiet life. As safe a life as is possible in a town trapped between a forest and the ocean, in a world teeming with the dead, who constantly hunger for those still living. She&rsquo;s content on her side of the Barrier, happy to let her friends dream of the Dark City up the coast while she watches from the top of her lighthouse. But there are threats the Barrier cannot hold back. Threats like the secrets Gabry&rsquo;s mother thought she left behind when she escaped from the Sisterhood and the Forest of Hands and Teeth. Like the cult of religious zealots who worship the dead. Like the stranger from the forest who seems to know Gabry. And suddenly, everything is changing. One reckless moment, and half of Gabry&rsquo;s generation is dead, the other half imprisoned. Now Gabry only knows one thing: she must face the forest of her mother&rsquo;s past in order to save herself and the one she loves.</p>
<p>Born and raised in Greenville, South Carolina, Carrie Ryan, whose debut novel was <em>The Forest of Hands and Teeth</em>, is a graduate of Williams College and Duke University School of Law. A former litigator, she now writes full time. She lives with her writer/lawyer fianc&eacute;, two fat cats and one large puppy in Charlotte, North Carolina. They are not at all prepared for the zombie apocalypse.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>The award-winning illustrator Grady Klein has paired up with the world&rsquo;s only stand-up economist, Yoram Bauman, PhD, to take the dismal out of the dismal science. From the optimizing individual to game theory to price theory, <em>The Cartoon Introduction to Economics</em> is the most digestible, explicable, and humorous 200-page introduction to microeconomics you&rsquo;ll ever read.</p>
<p>Bauman has put the &ldquo;comedy&rdquo; into &ldquo;economy&rdquo; at comedy clubs and universities around the country and around the world (his &ldquo;Principles of Economics, Translated&rdquo; is a YouTube cult classic). As an educator at both the university and high school levels, he has learned how to make economics relevant to today&rsquo;s world and today&rsquo;s students. As Google&rsquo;s chief economist, Hal Varian, wrote, &ldquo;You don&rsquo;t need a brand-new economics. You just need to see the really cool stuff, the material they didn&rsquo;t get to when you studied economics.&rdquo;</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>In this sequel to her <em>New York Times</em> bestsellers <em>Under the Tuscan Sun</em> and <em>Bella Tuscany</em>, the celebrated &quot;bard of Tuscany&quot; (<em>New York Times</em>) lyrically chronicles her continuing, two decades-long love affair with Tuscany's people, art, cuisine, and lifestyle.<br />
<br />
Frances Mayes offers her readers a deeply personal memoir of her present-day life in Tuscany, encompassing both the changes she has experienced since<em> Under the Tuscan Sun </em>and <em>Bella Tuscany</em> appeared, and sensuous, evocative reflections on the timeless beauty and vivid pleasures of Italian life. Throughout, she reveals the concrete joys of life in her adopted hill town, with particular attention to life in the piazza, the art of Luca Signorelli (Renaissance painter from Cortona), and the pastoral pleasures of feasting from her garden.</p>
<p>In addition to her Tuscany memoirs, Frances Mayes is the author of the travel memoir <em>A Year in the World</em>; the illustrated books <em>In Tuscany </em>and <em>Bringing Tuscany Home</em>; <em>Swan</em>, a novel; <em>The Discovery of Poetry</em>, a text for readers; and five books of poetry.  She divides her time between homes in Italy and North Carolina.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>For as long as humans have been here, insects have been here. Yet we hardly know them, not even the ones we&rsquo;re closest to: the insects that eat our food, share our beds, live in our homes. Organizing his book alphabetically, with one entry for each letter, weaving together brief vignettes, meditations, and extended essays, Hugh Raffles uses the prism of history and science, anthropology and travel, economics and popular culture to show how insects have triggered our obsessions, stirred our fears, and beguiled our imaginations.</p>
<p>Hugh Raffles teaches anthropology at the New School for Social Research. He is the author of <em>In Amazonia: A Natural History</em>, which received the Victor Turner Prize in Ethnographic Writing. His essays have been published in <em>Best American Essays </em>and <em>Granta</em>. He lives in New York City.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Hoping to outpace her grief in the wake of her father's suicide, Marina has come to the small, rural Japanese town of Shika to teach English for a year. But in Japan, as she soon discovers, you can never really throw away your past . . . or anything else, for that matter.</p>
<p><em>If You Follow Me</em> is at once a fish-out-of-water tale, a dark comedy of manners, and a strange kind of love story. Alive with vibrant and unforgettable characters&mdash;from an ambitious town matchmaker to a high school student-cum-rap artist wannabe with an addiction to self-tanning lotion&mdash;it guides readers over cultural bridges even as it celebrates the awkward, unlikely triumph of the human spirit.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>A teenaged runaway fights for survival on &ldquo;the boulevard of broken dreams&rdquo; in this searing debut novel based on a true story. It&rsquo;s always sunny in California until you walk on the wrong side of Sunset Boulevard. And yet the bright lights still call to thousands, and every day new arrivals fill the ranks of Hollywood&rsquo;s underworld of teenage runaways and hopeful stars turned hookers and strippers.</p>
<p>Their stories are too wretched and too sad for society&rsquo;s attention, but when a high-profile lawyer is murdered at the Chateau Marmont, lackluster detective Jimmy McCann takes to the streets and finds himself enmeshed in this complex web of prostitution and drugs, learning that the killer, a young girl named Casey, is a victim in her own right. Delving into Casey&rsquo;s troubled community of homeless runaways, characterized by abuse, rape, death and disease, but also by friendship, loyalty and love, Bill Guttentag has crafted a stunning literary crime novel&mdash;based on real-life incidents&mdash;that will resound with readers everywhere.</p>
<p>Bill Guttentag is a two-time Oscar-winning documentary and feature film writer-director. His films include the documentary feature <em>Nanking</em>, and the dramatic feature<em> Live!</em>. He was an executive producer and creator of the series<em> Law &amp; Order: Crime &amp; Punishment</em>, which ran for three seasons on NBC. He has also directed films for HBO, ABC, CBS and others. He lives with his family in Northern California, where he teaches a course at Stanford University.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Four unforgettable characters beckon you into this spellbinding new novel from the author of last year&rsquo;s <em>New York Times</em> best seller <em>The Senator&rsquo;s Wife</em>. First among them is Wilhelmina&mdash;Billy&mdash;Gertz, small as a child, fiercely independent, powerfully committed to her work as a playwright. The novel centers around her play, The Lake Shore Limited, about the terrorist bombing of that train&mdash;and about a man waiting to hear the fate of his estranged wife who is traveling on it.</p>
<p>There&rsquo;s not a wasted word in this tour de force about the dislocations wrought in our lives by accidents of fate and time, and about how we try to make peace with whom we become in the face of circumstances beyond our control.</p>
<p>Sue Miller is the author of the novels <em>The Senator&rsquo;s Wife, Lost in the Forest, The World Below, While I Was Gone, The Distinguished Guest, For Love, Family Pictures, </em>and <em>The Good Mother</em>; the story collection <em>Inventing the Abbotts</em>; and the memoir <em>The Story of My Father</em>.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>It&rsquo;s not fiction: Gary Lynch is the real thing, the epitome of the rebel scientist &ndash; malnourished, contentious, inspiring, explosive, remarkably ambitious, consistently brilliant. He is one of the foremost figures of contemporary neuroscience, and his decades-long quest to understand the inner workings of the brain&rsquo;s memory machine has begun to pay off.</p>
<p>Award-winning journalist Terry McDermott spent nearly two years observing Lynch at work and now gives us a fascinating and dramatic account of daily life in his lab. He provides detailed, lucid explanations of the cutting-edge science that enabled Lynch to reveal the inner workings of the molecular machine that manufactures memory. And he explains where Lynch&rsquo;s sights are now set: on drugs that could fix that machine when it breaks, drugs that would enhance brain function during the memory process and that hold out the possibility of cures for a wide range of neurological conditions, including Alzheimer&rsquo;s, Parkinson&rsquo;s, and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.</p>
<p>Terry McDermott is a former national reporter for the <em>Los Angeles Times</em> and the author of<em> Perfect Soldiers: The 9/11 Hijackers&mdash;Who They Were, Why They Did It</em>.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Rosie Ferguson is seventeen and ready to enjoy the summer before her senior year of high school. She's intelligent, athletic, and beautiful. She is, in short, everything her mother, Elizabeth, hoped she could be. The family's move to Landsdale, with stepfather James in tow, hadn't been as bumpy as Elizabeth feared.</p>
<p>But as the school year draws to a close, there are disturbing signs that the life Rosie claims to be leading is a sham, and that Elizabeth's hopes for her daughter to remain immune from the pull of the darker impulses of drugs and alcohol are dashed. Slowly and against their will, Elizabeth and James are forced to confront the fact that Rosie has been lying to them--and that her deceptions will have profound consequences.</p>
<p>This is Anne Lamott's most honest and heartrending novel yet, exploring our human quest for connection and salvation as it reveals the traps that can befall all of us.</p>
<p>Lamott is the author of the <em>New York Times </em>bestsellers<em> Grace (Eventually), Plan B, Traveling Mercies, </em>and <em>Operating Instructions</em>, as well as seven novels, including <em>Rosie and Crooked Little Heart</em>. She is a past recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Fifty years ago, a young astronomer named Frank Drake pointed a radio telescope at nearby stars in the hope of picking up a signal from an alien civilization. Thus began one of the boldest scientific projects in history, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). But after a half century of scanning the skies, astronomers have little to report but an eerie silence&mdash;eerie because many scientists are convinced that the universe is teeming with life. The problem, argues the leading physicist and astrobiologist Paul Davies, is that we&rsquo;ve been looking in the wrong place, at the wrong time, and in the wrong way. A provocative and mind-expanding journey,<em> The Eerie Silence </em>will thrill fans of science and science fiction alike.</p>
<p>Paul Davies is an internationally acclaimed physicist, cosmologist, and astrobiologist at Arizona State University, where he runs the pioneering Beyond Center for Fundamental Concepts in Science. He also chairs SETI's Post-Detection Taskgroup, so if scientists succeed in finding intelligent life, he will be among the first to know. In addition to his many scientific awards, the Guardian newspaper recently named Davies one of the &quot;masters of the universe,&quot; along with Richard Dawkins and Michael Frayn. He is the author of more than twenty books, including the bestseller <em>The Mind of God, About Time, How to Build a Time Machine, </em>and <em>The Goldilocks Enigma</em>. The asteroid 1992OG was officially renamed Pauldavies in his honor.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Steeped in Yankee tradition and progressive social values, larger&#8208;than&#8208;life sisters Sarah Winchester and Isabelle Merriman were ahead of their time. Infamous yet misunderstood, Sarah was a savvy businesswoman and amateur architect who found solace in building. Isabelle was passionate and outspoken, fighting for the rights of the abused and oppressed. Through thick and thin, the sisters maintained a close bond while enduring public scrutiny and outrageous gossip over their nontraditional ways.</p>
<p>Informed by new scholarship from professor and historian Mary Jo Ignoffo, the exhibit reveals the real stories of Sarah and Isabelle to be more interesting than the myths. Programs will include a tour of the Winchester Mystery House for Museum members and presentations tied to Isabelle&rsquo;s passion for social justice.</p></p>]]></description>

Folks considering a pet bunny and newer bunny parents won't want to miss rabbit care seminars covering everything you need to know - Rabbit behavior&nbsp;and Social Needs; Grooming; Diet; Cages and Housing; Health Concerns. (Check the event website for seminar times).</p>
<p>There will even a full cage set-up demo&nbsp;and Ask the Experts. Bunny parents can get free nail trims for their bunnies&nbsp;and shop for a cause. A portion of small animal sales will go to The Rabbit Haven, a 501 c3 rescue group. Everything bunnies love will be on hand - hay, Oxbow food, natural, untreated, edible toys, and more. With a rabbit-related craft table for the kids&nbsp;and local, handmade chocolates from Schurra's, there will be something for everyone!</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>The Artist in Residence (AIR) Program at Recology San Francisco shows work from a one-of-a-kind program started in 1990 to encourage people to conserve natural resources and instill in children and adults an increased appreciation for the environment as well as art. Applications are accepted only from Bay Area artists to keep it local, and six finalists are selected annually. Residency artists have 24-hour access to waste materials at the company's 46-acre site, which includes the transfer station, public dump, several recycling facilities, and a large well-equipped studio in which to create art from refuse that would otherwise go to landfills across the Bay or recycling plants across the nation.</p>
<p>Co-curated by Deborah Munk, Director of AIR, and Sharon Spain, Program Coordinator, Thrown Out: Art from the San Francisco Dump presents work by past and present artists in residence who have created treasures from trash. A case in point: Nemo Gould (AIR 2007) creates wonderfully surreal yet endearing creatures and contraptions from found objects, such as his <em>Guzzler </em>(2007), made from engine parts, a gas pump, baseball bats, ten-speed bike handlebars, vacuum parts, a lamp, extension ladder parts, a garden soil aerator, and golf caddy cart wheels. This may sound like a lot of junk thrown together, but the resulting piece has a singular integrity, presence, and polish. <em>Guzzler </em>feels like a creature but looks like a machine; and, of course, it reminds us of our oil fixation.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p><em>1 in 100: America Behind Bars</em> explores and illuminates the emotional and social impacts of incarceration. Roni Mentzer lays it out plainly in her piece titled Anguish. The prisoner&rsquo;s absence from life is portrayed with sensitivity in Julie Garner&rsquo;s Missing, raising the question of reentry after imprisonment. Diana Shore&rsquo;s thoughtful piece, Freedom of Thought? suggests a process of slow, steady development auguring well for the prospect of rehabilitation and reacceptance into society. This exhibit will inspire viewers to ask themselves what they can do to reduce the rate of incarceration, to support families of prisoners so that destructive patterns are not perpetuated, and to foster successful reintegration of prisoners after release. The artists believe that it is in everyone's best interest that the ex-prisoner&rsquo;s life after prison is meaningful, healthy, and crime-free.</p>
<p>PLEXUS is a group of Bay Area artists who use fiber and other materials to create art that addresses contemporary social issues. Their current exhibition in the East Gallery, <em>1 in 100: America Behind Bars</em>, is their response to the alarming statistic that 1 percent of the American population is currently incarcerated and that most inmates eventually return to a society that shuns them. PLEXUS members became motivated to create works of art meant to encourage people to stop and think about why this might be so and how it affects not only those who are in prison, but also their children, spouses, and communities, and society in general. The artists visited San Quentin Prison in their quest to understand the import of these numbers in human terms, and this exhibition presents the creative works that resulted, including a collaborative piece featuring block prints by San Quentin inmates and letters written by children of inmates.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p><em>Dogs of War</em> is an installation in the foyer of the East Gallery of a series of works by Portland artist Kay Marshall. She creates a small card for each American soldier killed in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. These beeswax-coated cards, about three by four inches, hang in chains from the ceiling, or are clipped on top of antique chess pawns symbolizing the government's use of soldiers as pawns in the inhumane game of armed conflict. One side of each card is stamped with a palm tree. Marshall covers the stamped tree trunk with a matchstick that she has lit and then blown out, just as that soldier's life was snuffed out. The opposite side of each card is stamped with one of four breeds of dogs, referencing soldiers' dog tags, dog-face soldiers, dogged fighters, and, to quote Shakespeare, &quot;the dogs of war.&quot;</p>
<p>Marshall was inspired to begin this work when, on invading Iraq in 2003, the U.S. military developed a set of playing cards picturing the most wanted members of then-president Saddam Hussein's government. Marshall felt that the real &quot;most wanted&quot; in Iraq were the soldiers whose lives were and are being lost. The U.S. government banned media images of coffins returning dead soldiers, so this is her way of recognizing the ravages of war. Says Marshall, &quot;I&rsquo;m amazed at how little [the Iraq War] has impacted anyone I know.&quot; Her installation aims to bring home the impact of our losses. </p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Portola Art Gallery presents <em>Visions of California</em>, a welcoming exhibit of oil paintings by Jim Promessi, longtime Bay Area artist and Skyline College art professor. Selected paintings will show Promessi&rsquo;s fascination with California&rsquo;s beautiful and unique landscape, from the mountains to the coast.</p>
<p>&ldquo;As a California native, I recall precious images from my childhood - clear sunny days with bright blue skies, green grasses, wildflowers and new green on the trees,&rdquo; said Promessi. &ldquo;Each spring, I am fortunate to revisit those images along the coast and inland areas, and as an artist I seek to record California&rsquo;s magnificence.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Promessi began exhibiting and competing while still a student at San Jose State University, with his first national juried exhibition at the 9th National Exhibition of Prints and Drawings in Oklahoma City, OK. His juried exhibitions in California museums include: The Phelen Awards at the California Palace of the Legion of Honor, San Francisco; the Triton Museum in Santa Clara; the Pioneer Museum and Haggin Art Gallery in Stockton; and the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento.</p>
<p>Promessi paints in the traditional manner, and currently focuses on California landscapes, figurative and still life work. His favored mediums are oil on canvas and soft pastel on paper. His award-winning work has been featured in various publications, including Pastel Highlights and American Artists Publication, Collectors Edition. <em>American Artist Magazin</em>e awarded him the Grand Prize in their National Competition commemorating their 60th year in print. Promessi is a member of Oil Painters of America and the California Art Club.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Museum docent Kay Payne will discuss the Amish quilt exhibition currently on display at San Francisco&rsquo;s De Young Museum. The Amish faith embodies the principles of simplicity, humility, discipline and community, but the quilts are anything but humble. Using a rich color palette and bold patterns, these quilts are truly a unique contribution to American textile history.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>This exhibition of forty-five works, on view in two galleries, acknowledges the sensibility of a discerning art lover and committed friend of the Cantor Arts Center, the late Ruth L. Halperin. Ruth was drawn to works of art based on esthetic qualities of line, texture, and form rather than subject or source. When seen together, the works reveal common attributes across cultures in the design and creation of pleasing and beautifully made objects: a photograph by British artist Andy Goldsworthy and a sinuous iron-wrought form from Nigeria; textural wood sculpture by German-born Ursula von Rydingsvard and a carved box by a Kuban artist; a woven baby carrier from Cameroon and a woodblock print by Japanese artist Kiyoshi Saito.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>This exhibition, <em>William Trost Richards&mdash;True to Nature: Drawings, Watercolors, and Oil Sketches at Stanford University, </em>features seventy-five drawings, watercolors, and small oil studies made during the fifty-year career of one of America's most famous landscape artists.</p>
<p>Born in Philadelphia in 1833, Richards was a nature lover, whose romantic sensibilities informed his meticulously factual representations. His paintings of the Adirondacks and other East Coast sites place him among the artists of the Hudson River School, painters who rendered the natural world in panoramic canvases of precise detail and finished surface. His close study of nature led Richards to make hundreds of pencil sketches of trees, rocks, and plants. His nature studies were influenced by John Ruskin, the British art critic whose doctrine of truth to nature found ready acceptance in the New England climate of Emerson and Thoreau.</p>
<p>In the 1870s, when landscape painting in the Hudson River School style was going out of fashion, Richards turned instead to marine and coastal subjects. Watercolor became a favored medium, and Richards developed a masterful technique reflective of the overall development of watercolor in American art. Collectors treasured his luminous scenes of surf rolling onto the sandy beaches of Rhode Island near Richards&rsquo;s summer home on Conanicut Island, or crashing against the rocks of Cornwall, where he often painted. The mythic castle of King Arthur on the cliffs of Tintagel was another favorite subject.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>What are all those 1s and 0s that make up binary code? And for that matter, what's binary code? Students&nbsp;can learn how computers use this 'digital' language to send, process, and receive information. By using beads to represent a switch's on and off states (1 and 0), students use binary code to pattern their initials in a beaded key chain. Space is limited and reservations are required at least 48 hrs in advance. Parents must remain in the museum during the class. Class lasts approximately 45 minutes.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>The exhibition, <em>Everything Has A Story</em> features two artists, Ellen Chong and Diana Herring, and opens on March 24th running through April 25th.  With two very different approaches to art, Chong and Herring present prints and paintings that tell stories of everyday objects used in everyday life.  The gallery, will host a reception for the artists on Saturday, April 10th from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., in conjunction with Redwood City&rsquo;s Second Saturday Artwalk&mdash;the first of the 2010 season.</p>
<p>Diana Herring depicts animals and the human figure in a graphic, gestural manner.  Usually a printmaker, she created works for this show using mixed media techniques such as collage and printing on commercial wallpaper.  Ellen Chong does meticulous depictions of still life subjects in oil paint, which she refers to as &ldquo;object studies.&rdquo;  When, by chance, they found themselves showing together, Chong and Herring decided to explore their differences.  Chong's work is &ldquo;object oriented,&rdquo; focused on static images, fixed in time. Yet, the paintings themselves are not static but revive memories, so that each viewer may bring their own narrative to the object depicted.  The &ldquo;stories&rdquo; that Herring develops in her work concern the complicated relationship&mdash;the conversation&mdash;we have with the &quot;stuff&quot; with which technology has surrounded us.</p>
<p>The artists have put together a show in which two very different approaches to art are presented, yet common ground is readily apparent.  We should all be so lucky to be unafraid to address our differences.  Come to the opening and meet the artists and enjoy their work. It&rsquo;s a wonderful chance to ask questions and enjoy hors d'oeuvres.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Country music singer/songwriter Amy Gass was born and raised in Mountain View, CA. With her rich and youthful tone in her soprano voice, Amy is an artist who captivates an audience with power and enthusiasm in her stage presence. Using life&rsquo;s experiences and her talent for creative writing, Amy has turned hurt and happiness into unforgettable songs. Her current cd reflects her talent both as a singer and as a songwriter. Amy began singing at an early age and by age 12 she realized what she wanted to be. Her dream to become a successful Country music singer motivated her to practice meticulously, day and night, with karaoke tracks and a small cd player. Her influences include Trisha Yearwood, LeAnn Rimes, Shania Twain, Amy Grant, Madonna, and Faith Hill. She listened and studied their vocal techniques and soon found her own unique style. The desire to pursue a career in the music industry led Amy to make several trips to Music City, where she began co-writing and recording. With each trip Amy improved and strengthened her talents. Artist Development Network president, Cathy Lemmon says, &ldquo;Amy Gass has a sweet, natural voice that is believable and unique. She does not have to &ldquo;over&rdquo; sing to get the message across. You can feel what she&rsquo;s singing about. She&rsquo;s also a very talented song writer, which makes her a well rounded artist&rdquo; Miss Gass is an award-winning singer who has won many medals and trophies in various competitions including the <em>World Championships For Performing Arts</em> in Burbank, CA, the <em>Youth Focus Talent Competition</em> in San Jose, and the <em>San Jose Idol</em>. She was also a semi-finalist in many of the <em>Colgate Country Showdown </em>and vocal contests sponsored by the local San Francisco Bay area radio station KRTY.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Hermie Medley is a delightful poet. Many Names published her first book of poems, <em>Too Young To Be Wise</em> in 1998, when she was only 80 years old. Her joy in life, her cheery but not sappy style of writing, is crisp and wise, despite the title of her first book. She has met with grief and family loss, both a long and a short time ago. Mostly she can be imagined at her typewriter, a wicked-sweet little grin upon her face. When she reads in public, we are reminded of a young spelling bee contestant--we hold our breath for her simple response to a perplexing and complex word.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Patricia Machmiller has a book of translated letters,<em> Autumn Loneliness: the Letters of Kiyoshi and Kiyoko Tokutomi, July-December, 1967</em>, coming out soon. Along with co-collaborater Tei Matsushita Scott, letters written by Kiyoshi and Kiyoko Tokutomi, San Jose locals who started the Yuki Teikei Haiku Society, are translated for the first time. The letters were written in 1967 when they were going through a very difficult time; Kiyoshi had just lost his hearing. The letters are poignant and full of longing, bravery and vulnerability. This should be a great event for all poetry lovers.</p>

<p><p>Will the Giant Pumpkin Heavyweight World Record be squashed in Half Moon Bay, California on October 11? There&rsquo;s a legitimate chance as the World&rsquo;s Greatest Gourd Growers and their titanic orbs gather for the 37th Annual Safeway World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-Off in the World Pumpkin Capital of Half Moon Bay, California. A host of veteran, accomplished growers from throughout the west &ndash;&ndash; and as far away as Iowa with growing legend Don Young entering a &quot;Monster from the Midway&quot; that measures to be a legitimate world record contender &ndash;&ndash; will be vying for the coveted title and a hefty share of about $20,000 in prize money. In a pay-by-the-pound system, the winner will take away $6 per pound for the champion pumpkin. Don Young's burly 1,658-pound Atlantic Giant obliterated the Half Moon Bay and California records and crushed the formidable field of sixty heavyweight growers under the worldwide media spotlight, taking home the coveted title and $9,948 in prize money. A special $500 prize will be awarded to the &ldquo;most beautiful pumpkin.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Using forklifts and special harnesses, the gargantuan gourds will be carefully placed on a 5-ton capacity, industrial-strength digital scale under the watchful eye of officials from the San Mateo County Agricultural Commissioner's Office of Weights, Sealers, and Measures. Half Moon Bay&rsquo;s Weigh-Off will serve as an officially sanctioned Great Pumpkin Commonwealth (GPC) site. The GPC is the major sanctioning body overseeing Giant Pumpkin growing competitions with more than seventy weigh-off locations throughout the world.</p>
<p>The Grand Champion Pumpkin (and five heaviest overall) will be part of a special display at the Half Moon Bay Art &amp; Pumpkin Festival, Saturday and Sunday, October 16-17, 2010 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Festivalgoers can get their photo taken alongside the grand champion gourd. Farmer Mike, expert carver, will be selecting one of the monster 1,000+ pound pumpkins to carve and sculpt, truly a sight to behold, during the festival.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Lipsyte's pitch-black comedy takes aim at marriage, work, parenting, abject failure (the author's signature soapbox) and a host of subjects you haven't figured out how to feel bad about yet. This latest slice of mucked-up life follows Milo Burke, a washed-up painter living in Astoria, Queens, with his wife and three-year-old son, as he's jerked in and out of employment at a mediocre university where Milo and his equally jaded cohorts solicit funding from the Asks, or those who financially support the art program ... in its merciless assault on the duel between privilege and expectation, it arrives at a rare articulation of empire in decline. The author's most ambitious work yet -- a brilliant and scabrously entertaining riff on contemporary America. A darkly humorous story of sons and fathers, is both his most realistic and convulsively hilarious to date... Lipsyte's razor-sharp eye filets dying America.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>The undead rise again in this third book of the bestselling twisted vampire saga. Joining his farcical gems <em>Bloodsucking Fiends</em> and <em>You Suck</em>, Moore&rsquo;s latest is a tsunami of the irresistible outrageousness that has earned him the appellation &ldquo;Stephen King with a whoopee cushion and a double-espresso imagination&rdquo; from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and inspired Denver&rsquo;s <em>Rocky Mountain News</em> to declare him &ldquo;the 21st century&rsquo;s best satirist.&rdquo; Moore writes with the jittery energy of a brilliant, charming class clown, mixing sex and gore and a potty mouth with a goofy-sweet sensibility to deliver laughs on nearly every page,&quot; on <em>You Suck</em>, the previous entry in this series. Moore received the Quill Award, Science Fiction/Fantasy/Horror Book of the Year, for <em>The Stupidest Angel</em> (2005) and<em> A Dirty Job</em> (2006).</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Malae's debut novel (after the collection <em>Teach the Free Man</em>) is a high energy rant narrated by a half-Samoan/half-white drifter trying to survive in a world bent on marginalizing seekers of truth and integrity. Malae's antihero, Paul Tusifale, an ex-con and poet, wanders the dark corners of Silicon Valley like a corrosive Midas, ruining everything he comes in contact with, whether it's a civil rights march or a wealthy patron's poetry fellowship. Paul's voice is filled with anger and intelligence. It's got rough patches, but the voice is gold. In this decidedly masculine novel the language is often explicit and the protagonist young, disaffected, and easily provoked. Readers who enjoy other contemporary fiction authors popular with men, such as Chuck Palahniuk and Bret Easton Ellis, should definitely try Malae.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Notre Dame de Namur University&rsquo;s Wiegand Gallery is proud to present <em>Realism &amp; Abstraction: Four Printmakers</em> featuring artwork by four master printmakers:  David Smith-Harrison, Trevor Southey, Betty Friedman and Misch Kohn.  The opening reception will be held on Sunday, March 28th from 2pm-4pm.  A benefit for the Wiegand Gallery Exhibition Fund will be held on Saturday, April 17th from 4pm-7pm. This event will feature a wine tasting and food pairing with a silent auction featuring artwork from the exhibition&rsquo;s four master printmakers. The artists present rich possibilities in contemporary printmaking.  At first glance, the works in the exhibition represent two ends of a spectrum. On one hand, Southey and Smith-Harrison render a spiritual world of descriptive line and deep space, a vision that reaches back to Rembrandt. On the other, Misch Kohn and Betty Friedman celebrate planes of color, complex abstract structures, and an active, graphic line that has its roots firmly in the modernism of Picasso and the expressionism of Pollock. Yet there exists a subtle relationship between all four artists as we find a reaching toward representation in the abstract prints by Friedman and Kohn and the incorporation of abstract elements in the figurative work of Southey and Smith-Harrison.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Whether they represent luminous fragments of memory or flares of feelings freed in sleep, dreams and nightmares can offer powerful inspiration for the artist's imagination. The Women's Caucus for Art show <em>Day Dreams and Nightmares</em> opens at Avenue 25 Gallery in San Mateo. Among the Peninsula chapter members exhibiting is the Women's Caucus for Art's newly elected Vice President Karen Gutfreund. Her painting<em> Fallen Thing</em> is full of eyes. Its look was completely altered by the blowtorch treatment she used to remove bubbles from the epoxy resin. &quot;The minute I turned on the torch, 15-foot flames leapt from the painting,&quot; she said. &quot;Luckily, I was working outside, or my studio would have caught on fire.&quot; Gutfreund says the Avenue 25 exhibition is not merely a loosely structured group show, but a real exploration of the meaning of the theme. Peninsula chapter acting President Alysanne McGaffey also is showing work in <em>Day Dreams and Nightmares</em>.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Robyn Echols from the Merced County Genealogical Society will speak on <em>R.A.M.B.L.E. America. </em>Robyn says there were six factors that influenced migration in America: R=Religion; A=Acquisition and Exploration; M=Minerals and Money; B=Bounty Land; L=Land in General; and E=Environment. This talk should help you understand why your ancestors migrated at the time that they did. This free lecture will be held in the Cedar Room of the Santa Clara Central Park Library.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>The author of six highly praised novels, two collections of short stories, and a smattering of nonfiction works, Bharati Mukherjee reflects her personal experiences in crossing cultural boundaries in her writings. In novels such as <em>Jasmine, The Tiger's Daughter,  The Holder of the World, Leave It to Me, </em>and <em>Desirable Daughters</em>, as well as in her award-winning short stories, Indian-born Mukherjee &quot;adds to the authority of her [multicultural] background an acute sense of the violence and chaos, however restrained, which can lie beneath the surface of a society, old or new, or of a person,&quot; explained Ann Mandel in the <em>Dictionary of Literary Biography</em>. A &quot;request for recognition--the desire to be 'visible' . . . to be recognized as person rather than as ethnic stereotype--characterizes much of Mukherjee's writing,&quot; Mandel added. &quot;Her characters sometimes cry out to be seen for who they really are; and sometimes, weak or tired, they surrender to taking on the identity of the 'type' that others see them to be.&quot;</p>
<p>Mukherjee once commented, &quot;I write to discover ideal worlds; I live to repair ruined ones.&quot; As such, she is &quot;one of the most well-known writers of the Indian diaspora in the United States,&quot; according to a critic for <em>Feminist Writers</em>.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>In his thirty-five-year-career, the Emmy Award-winning Cannell has created over forty TV series, including <em>The Rockford Files, Silk Stalkings, The A-Team, 21 Jump Street, Hunter, The Greatest American Hero, Renegade, Wiseguy, </em>and <em>The Commish</em>. This is his ninth novel to feature LAPD detective Shane Scully, who was abandoned by his parents as an infant, and reared in an orphanage, Huntington House. The only positive thing in his young life was the attention of the home's director, Walter &quot;Pop&quot; Dix. Pop, an avid surfer, would take a small group of kids for early morning surfing. He was the father none of them had ever had. That was thirty years ago. Now, Shane is forced to revisit these memories when Pop is found dead, the victim of an apparently self-inflicted shotgun blast.</p>
<p>This event will take place at Kaffeehaus, M's new next-door neighbor. Coffee and espresso drinks will be offered free to those coming to meet the author. Stephen Cannell will speak informally with customers while he signs his book -- at his only Bay Area bookstore signing.

<p><p>Joy N. Hulme describes herself as &ldquo;a grandma with the heart of a child.&rdquo; She was born and reared in Cottonwood, Utah, a rural area at the foot of Mount Olympus south of Salt Lake City. She was rich in all the things a child needs: loving parents, siblings and cousins to play with, woods to wander in, Grandpa&rsquo;s next-door farm fields to explore, orchard trees to climb for fresh-fruit snacks, rocks and logs to build with, adobe bricks to melt for sculpting clay, a huge lawn for tumbling, and.a wonderful oversize dad-built backyard playground with a swing, slide, glider, sand box and playhouse.</p>
<p>She says that&nbsp;&ldquo;No life is long enough to run out of fresh surprises if we watch for them. I like to be accurate about facts, fanciful about fiction and to combine truth and imagination. It is always my goal to encourage the creative awareness that is inborn in youngsters and to keep it alive in them forever. I want to make learning as much fun for others as it has always been for me by creating in a light-hearted manner. It is my aim that a child of any age can become a little better in some way as a result of reading what I have written.&rdquo;.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Jo&euml;lle Jolivet is an internationally acclaimed illustrator. She grew up near Paris and studied graphic design before turning her art to book illustration. Today, her works have been exhibited around the world and the books she has collaborated on have been translated in many languages. In 2007, the book <em>365 Penguins</em> that she cleverly illustrated (written by Jean-Luc Fromental) became a <em>New York Times</em> bestseller.</p>
<p><em>Publishers Weekly </em>has called her books &quot;vibrant . . . dazzling,&rdquo; and <em>School Library Journal </em>said they &ldquo;are as aesthetically impressive as they are informative.&quot; She's coming from France and will demonstrate her art and speak about her books, including her 2010 title, <em>Oops!</em></p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Pam Mu&ntilde;oz Ryan&nbsp;is the author of&nbsp;<em>The Dreamer, </em>a stunning novel about the young life of poet Pablo Neruda. She was born and raised in California's San Joaquin Valley. She is the oldest of three sisters and the oldest of twenty-three cousins on her mother's side. She grew up with many of her aunts and uncles and grandparents nearby and considers herself truly American because her cultural background is an ethnic smorgasbord. She is Spanish, Mexican, Basque, Italian, and Oklahoman.</p>
<p>During many long, hot valley summers, she spent most of her time riding her bike to the library. It became her favorite hang out because her family didn't have a swimming pool and the library was air-conditioned! That's how she got hooked on reading and books. After college, she knew that she wanted to work in a profession that had something to do with books, and she thought that would be teaching. She became a teacher, an administrator and then, at the encouragement of a friend who thought she could write, began her first book. That's when she finally knew what she really wanted to do.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Robert Chiarito thinks of his work as the serious pursuit of play. Images are generated by random marking with the brush, often with his eyes closed. He then tries to make sense of the picture, imposing an order upon it by finding a head or body that presents itself in this process. In an effort to work in a psychological state more closely aligned with the subconscious, he tries to set up a situation in which he is able to find an image that he would not consciously construct.</p>
<p>Taking inspiration from Art Brut, the COBRA school and Expressionism in general, he paints them out in favor of something that he perceives as more raw and direct an expression, which often borders upon the grotesque. The presence of the figure further animates the abstraction, bringing emotional charge to the form. The subject matter gives rise to content that develops in a mysterious manner as the painterly elements are manipulated. Humor, joy, vulnerability, fear, exuberance, anger, failed heroism and libidinous desire all surface as welcome, yet unpremeditated content.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>With more than twelve years' experience treating its sufferers and seeing the nation's health-care system come up short, Dr. Peter Abaci developed innovative treatments that have helped thousands better their lives in dramatic ways--techniques he now offers in this book for the first time.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Peter Abaci has learned the secrets of successful chronic pain management and put them into <em>Take Charge of Your Chronic Pain</em>. Both pain sufferers and those who provide care for chronic pain patients can learn from his superb guide to contending with chronic pain and all its facets. He makes it quite clear that it is the patient who must do the work; the health care provider is a guide and source of encouragement and wisdom.  This book is a counterbalance to the excessive reliance on pills and procedures that so often fail to adequately deal with those who suffer from chronic pain.  The book is an excellent companion-piece for patients entering into a chronic pain management program.&rdquo;<br />
&mdash;John D. Loeser, MD, Professor Emeritus, Neurological Surgery and Anesthesiology and Pain Management, University of Washington</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>When it&rsquo;s time to take your parents out to dinner or your girlfriend on a sexy date, or when you&rsquo;re looking for a hot venue for a birthday blowout or brunch with friends, who do you turn to for a spot-on recommendation? Why, the tablehopper, of course! Marcia Gagliardi is San Francisco&rsquo;s cuisine concierge, providing restaurant recommendations and helping thousands of diners find the right place for the right occasion. With her unique blend of enthusiasm, insider knowledge, and sass, Marcia bases her recommendations on the reason you&rsquo;re going out, who you&rsquo;re dining with, and how much money you have to burn.</p>
<p>Covering a huge range of places for all tastes, ages, and budgets, this insider&rsquo;s guide also includes sections on the South Bay, Wine Country, top eats in the East Bay, and one-, two-, and three-day San Francisco culinary itineraries. Only a local and no-holds-barred eater like the tablehopper can offer visitors and locals alike such a knowledgeable and comprehensive look at the Bay Area dining and drinking scene.</p>
<p>Marcia (rhymes with Garcia) Gagliardi is a freelance food writer and culinary personality, known as the tablehopper. Marcia and her free weekly e-column are among the Bay Area&rsquo;s most trusted resources for thoughtful recommendations on where to eat, drink, and hobnob. She has appeared on <em>Oprah &amp; Friends: The Gayle King Show, Playboy TV, </em>the <em>Martha Stewart Living Today</em> radio show, and many local programs. She has been zipping around the Bay in her red Alfa Romeo since 1994, and has been writing about food since 2002.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>This debut novel tells the story of Rachel, the daughter of a Danish mother and a black G.I. who becomes the sole survivor of a family tragedy. With her strict African American grandmother as her new guardian, Rachel moves to a mostly black community, where her light brown skin, blue eyes, and beauty bring mixed attention her way. Growing up in the 1980s, she learns to swallow her overwhelming grief and confronts her identity as a bi-racial young woman in a world that wants to see her as either black or white.</p>
<p><em>The Girl Who Fell from the Sky</em> is the winner of the Bellwether Prize for best fiction manuscript addressing issues of social justice. Heidi W. Durrow is a graduate of Stanford, Columbia's Graduate School of Journalism and Yale Law School. She is the recipient of a Fellowship in Fiction from the New York Foundation for the Arts, a Jerome Foundation Fellowship for Emerging Writers, a Jentel Foundation Residency, and won top honors in the Lorian Hemingway Short Story Competition and the Chapter One Fiction Contest.

<p><p><em>Born Stateless</em> is a book of memories crisp in detail and depth of feeling. Konstantin Balabushkin's young life in Japan bridged the two worlds of east and west with apparent ease. His safe and sheltered childhood vanished with the eruption of Second World War while he attended college in Shanghai waiting for his visa to study in the United States. He and other stateless people, including Russian nobles with whom he lived, became trapped in history with no way out. The war, the defeat and reinvention of Japan and the reinvention of Konstantin Balabushkin, as Kon Balin, bring to the reader a first hand account of suffering and survival. It is a young man's tale, a very lucky young man, who lived through a time that profoundly changed the world.</p>
<p>Kon and Arlene Balin reside in Sonoma and San Francisco where they continue to enjoy the fruits of Kon's garden, fine wines, and the company of family and good friends.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Heralding the arrival of a stunning new voice in American fiction, Robin Black&rsquo;s <em>If I Loved You, I Would Tell You Thi</em>s takes readers into the minds and hearts of people navigating the unsettling transitions that life presents to us all. Written with maturity and insight, and in beautiful, clear-eyed prose, these stories plumb the depths of love, loss, and hope. A father struggles to forge an independent identity as his blind daughter prepares for college. A mother comes to terms with her adult daughter&rsquo;s infidelity, even as she keeps a disturbing secret of her own. An artist mourns the end of a romance while painting a dying man&rsquo;s portrait. An accident on a trip to Italy and an unexpected connection with a stranger cause a woman to question her lifelong assumptions about herself. Brilliant, hopeful, and fearlessly honest, <em>If I Loved You, I Would Tell You This</em> illuminates the truths of human relationships, truths we come to recognize in these characters and in ourselves.</p>
<p>Robin Black&rsquo;s stories and essays have appeared in numerous publications, including <em>One Story, Colorado Review, The Georgia Review, Alaska Quarterly Review, Bellevue Literary Review, The Southern Review, </em>and the anthology <em>The Best Creative Nonfiction</em>. The winner of many awards and a recipient of fellowships from the Leeway Foundation and the MacDowell Colony, Black is a graduate of the Warren Wilson MFA Program for Writers. She lives with her family in Philadelphia.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>In the 1950s, ninety-five percent of patients with Hodgkin's disease, a cancer of lymph tissue which afflicts young adults, died. Today most are cured, due mainly to the efforts of Dr. Henry Kaplan. <em>Henry Kaplan and the Story of Hodgkin's Disease</em> explores the life of this multifaceted, internationally known radiation oncologist, called a &quot;saint&quot; by some, a &quot;malignant son of a bitch&quot; by others. Kaplan's passion to cure cancer dominated his life and helped him weather the controversy that marked each of his innovations, but it extracted a high price, leaving casualties along the way. Most never knew of his family struggles, his ill-fated love affair with Stanford University, or the humanitarian efforts that imperiled him.</p>
<p>Charlotte Jacobs, M.D., is Ben and A. Jess Shenson Professor of Medicine at Stanford University. </p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Benjamin Pratt&rsquo;s school is about to become the site of a new amusement park. It sounds like a dream come true! But lately, Ben has been wondering if he&rsquo;s going to like an amusement park in the middle of his town&mdash;with all the buses and traffic and eight dollar slices of pizza. It&rsquo;s going to change everything. And Ben is not so big on all the new changes in his life, like how his dad has moved out and started living in the marina on what used to be the &ldquo;family&rdquo; sailboat. As much as the town wants to believe it, the school does not belong to the local government. It belongs to the children and these children have the right to defend it!</p>
<p>Don&rsquo;t think Ben, his friend Jill (and the tag-along Robert) can ruin a multi-million dollar real estate deal? Then you don&rsquo;t know the history and the power of the Keepers of the School. A suspenseful six-book series, book one, <em>We the Children</em>, starts the battle. It&rsquo;s a race to keep the school from turning into a ticket booth and these kids are about to discover just how threatening a little knowledge can be.</p>
<p>Clements is the author of the enormously popular <em>Frindle</em>. He has been nominated for a multitude of state awards and has won the Christopher Award and an Edgar Award. His popular works include <em>Extra Credit, Lost and Found, No Talking, Room One, Lunch Money, A Week in the Woods, The Jacket, The School Story, The Janitor's Boy, Tthe Landry News, The Report Card </em>and <em>The Last Holiday Concert</em>. Mr. Clements taught in the public schools near Chicago for seven years before moving East to begin a career in publishing and writing.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Many of the problems the world faces, such as war, poverty, and environmental ruin are the by-product of a flawed international social order.  Fortunately, there is an international agreement, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) which all countries signed in 1948, that promises a social order of justice, equality, and freedom.  But although the UDHR was agreed to by all countries it is only a declaration and is unenforceable in courts of law.</p>
<p>The 2048 Project, launched by the author and his colleagues at the University of California School of Law and from which the book gets it&rsquo;s name, is a movement to make the fundamental rights in the Declaration enforceable in the courts of all countries by 2048, the 100th anniversary of the Universal Declaration.  2048 tells how the UDHR came to be written and the origins of the movement to make it enforceable; lays out the five basic freedoms the UDHR is meant to protect; and gives detailed advice on what everyone can do to make international human rights a reality.</p>
<p>Dr. John Kirk Boyd is a lawyer, professor, and Executive Director of the 2048 Project at the U.C. Berkeley law school. In addition, the author has argued at every level of court, including the United States Supreme Court. He teaches International Human Rights, Civil Rights, International Law, Free Speech, and Constitutional Law at the University of California.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Scholars of the Salem witch trials have long asked why the accusers chose to ruin so many lives, but Howe asks, what if the women really were witches?  What if the magic was real? Howe&rsquo;s vividly detailed, witty, and astutely plotted debut is deeply rooted in her family connection to accused seventeenth-century witches Elizabeth Howe and Elizabeth Proctor. A keen and magical historical mystery it&rsquo;s laced with romance and sly digs at society&rsquo;s persistent underestimation of women.  Paced like a thriller, set at a university, and plotted around the search for a breakthrough in a historical mystery, it will keep you turning pages long into the night. Compellingly written, with powerful historic insight, <em>The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane</em> is that rare find, a literary novel and commercial blockbuster that makes the past come alive.</p>
<p>PLEASE NOTE: This is a meet &amp; greet booksigning only.  There will be no formal presentation.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Beginning their musical quest in 1969, Sage has stayed true to its mission of playing great R&amp;B, funk and soul. Over the years, the band has maintained its eight-piece member format for that big, full sound they like to deliver at live performances. Although based in San Jose, it was obvious from the start that the solid rhythm section and blasting horn section felt the funk and soul influences of the East Bay, as well.</p>

<p><p><em>Eight White Nights</em> is an unforgettable journey through that enchanted terrain where passion and fear and the sheer craving to ask for love and to show love can forever alter who we are. A man in his late twenties goes to a large Christmas party in Manhattan where a woman introduces herself with three words: &ldquo;I am Clara.&rdquo; Over the following seven days, they meet every evening at the same cinema. Overwhelmed yet cautious, he treads softly and won&rsquo;t hazard a move. The tension between them builds gradually, marked by ambivalence, hope, and distrust.</p>
<p><em>Call Me by Your Name</em>, Aciman&rsquo;s debut novel, established him as one of the finest writers of our time, an expert at the most sultry depictions of longing and desire. As <em>The Washington Post Book World</em> wrote, &ldquo;The beauty of Aciman&rsquo;s writing and the purity of his passions should place this extraordinary first novel within the canon of great romantic love stories for everyone.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Acimen is also the author of <em>Out of Egypt</em>, and <em>False Papers</em>, and is the editor of <em>The Proust Project</em>. He teaches comparative literature at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. </p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Lisa J. Shannon had a good life&mdash;a successful business, a fianc&eacute;, a home, and security. Then, one day in 2005, an episode of <em>Oprah </em>changed all that. The show focused on women in Congo, the worst place on earth to be a woman. She was awakened to the atrocities there&mdash;millions dead, women raped and tortured daily, and children dying in shocking numbers. Shannon felt called to do something. And she did.<em> A Thousand Sisters</em> is her inspiring memoir.</p>
<p>She raised money to sponsor Congolese women, beginning with one solo 30-mile run, and then founded a national organization, Run for Congo Women. The book chronicles her journey to the Congo to meet the women her run sponsored, and shares their incredible stories. What begins as grassroots activism forces Shannon to confront herself and her life, and learn lessons of survival, fear, gratitude, and immense love from the women of Africa.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>This is the debut solo exhibition of Dante Horoiwa (Sao Paulo, Brazil. b. 1988). Under the skin of his everyday life in Brazil lies Horoiwa&rsquo;s Japanese heritage. His paintings portray the spiritually lost and lonely. Through his work, from life-size paintings in S&atilde;o Paulo to the side of a four-story building in Rotterdam, Netherlands, Horoiwa is able to cope with his want to hide from the world and his need to be a part of it.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Following the first two books of <em>The Kingdom Keepers, Disney after Dark, </em>and <em>Disney at Dawn</em>, Finn and his friends have much worse problems in the third book, <em>Kingdom Keepers 3: Disney in Shadows</em>. In a 'dream world' the five hologram teens, Finn, Philby, Willa, Charlene, and Maybeck search to find Wayne, their mentor and head Disney Imagineer who has mysteriously gone missing. They think Wayne has been abducted by the Overtakers--Disney villains--along with other Disney characters, who take over the parks. Turnstiles stop spinning, and the desperate Overtakers begin to steer the parks to a far darker place.</p>
<p>Quickly, the five kids pick up a major clue from a close friend, Jez, whose dreams (nightmares, really) can predict the future. Then more clues from Jez's dream lead the kids into Disney's Hollywood Studios and Epcot--through imaginary worlds that become real, by imaginary kids who are real.  Each clue seems tied to the last, and with the stakes growing ever higher, what starts out as a puzzle ends up as a fight for their lives.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>A carefree child of expatriate parents at age 10, a prisoner of the Japanese at 16, a valued source of intelligence to the U.S. military at 19, and a fervent advocate of public diplomacy throughout his long career as a Foreign Service Officer, Clifton Forster spent his life crossing and recrossing frontiers, determined to use dialogue, not conflict, to solve differences between nations.</p>
<p>In 2007, a year after her husband's death, Nancy Forster began to sort through the wealth of papers Cliff had tucked away in a Japanese tea chest, and to reexamine her own memories and writings from nearly 60 years of shared international adventures. Her compelling memoir could serve as a blueprint for a U.S. government newly dedicated to building bridges across frontiers.<br />
Nancy Keeney Forster shared the adventures and absorbed the stories of Clifton Forster for nearly six decades. Together, they journeyed across cultural frontiers from California to the Philippines, Japan, Burma, Washington, D.C., Israel, Hawaii, and back to California. During those years, Forster developed her own career as an educator in international schools and an administrator, inspector, and director in the International Baccalaureate (IB) program. She lives in Tiburon.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>On compassionate leave after the murder of his wife, Thomas Lynley is called back to Scotland Yard when the body of a woman is found stabbed and abandoned in an isolated London cemetery. His former team doesn't trust the leadership of their new department chief, Isabelle Ardery, whose management style seems to rub everyone the wrong way. In fact, Lynley may be the sole person who can see beneath his superior officer's hard-as-nails exterior to a hidden&mdash;and possibly attractive&mdash;vulnerability.</p>
<p>While Lynley works in London, his former colleagues Barbara Havers and Winston Nkata follow the murder trail south to the New Forest. There they discover a beautiful and strange place where animals roam free, the long-lost art of thatching is very much alive, and outsiders are not entirely welcome. What they don't know is that more than one dark secret lurks among the trees, and that their investigation will lead them to an outcome that is both tragic and shocking.</p>
<p>Elizabeth George is the New York Times bestselling author of fourteen novels of psychological suspense, one book of nonfiction, and two short-story collections. Her work has been honored with the Anthony and Agatha awards, the Grand Prix de Litt&Eacute;rature Polici&Egrave;re, and the MIMI, Germany's prestigious prize for suspense fiction.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Jen has settled into a peaceful life when a terrifying event awakens old fears of being homeless and alone, of a danger horrible enough to destroy her family and shatter her world forever. She is certain that Naryfel, a shadowy figure from her past, has returned and is concentrating the full force of her hate on Jen's family. But how will she strike? A knife in the dark? An attack from her legions? Or with the dark arts and twisted creatures she commands with sinister cunning?</p>
<p>Wyndano's Cloak may be Jen's only hope. If she can only trust that she has what it takes to use it. A tale of madness, friendship, and courage, Wyndano's Cloak reveals the transformative power of love and forgiveness, and the terrible consequences of denying who you really are.</p>
<p>A. R. Silverberry, the pen name of Peter Allan Adler, holds a B.A. in music and a Ph.D. in psychology. Ever feeling the call for a creative life, he's a watercolorist, pianist, and composer. Silverberry has been a licensed psychologist since 1991, and continues to balance his clinical practice with writing. <em>Wyndano's Cloak</em> is his first novel.</p>
<p>The author will donate a portion of his profits from the book to the Children's Health Council.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>With a baby boomer turning sixty every ten seconds, we are rapidly becoming an aging society. But cutting edge research on the connection between age and disease shows us that many of the preconceptions we had about how to grow old need a second look. This groundbreaking book is full of take-away prescriptive advice which the nearly seventy-five million boomers in this nation will value. Top gerontologist and Stanford medical school professor Dr. Walter Bortz and co-author Randall Stickrod draw on new science and a thirty-year longitudinal study of centenarians to show that:</p>
<p>&bull; Genetics plays a smaller role in aging than previously thought</p>
<p>&bull; Senility, dementia, and other diseases of the elderly, are largely preventable and not an inevitable consequence of aging</p>
<p>&bull; Engagement, through sexual relationships, social  interaction, and professional activity, is a key factor in  long, healthy lives</p>
<p>&bull; Physical fitness can recover at least 30 years of aging</p>
<p>Filled with in-depth insight and practical advice, The Roadmap to 100 gives you the power to control your own destiny and live well beyond 100.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>A deeply moving, beautifully written, and transforming story. The history of the Nayers was divided by one violent, accidental moment. In the time it took her to light a match in the cellar of their rented vacation home, Dorothy and her husband Hank were engulfed in a flash fire. She barely survived, her face scarred beyond recognition, her body required to endure thirty-seven operations. He was scarcely better off, convinced that survival had been the cruelest of outcomes.</p>
<p>Yet the greatest injustice of all was the estrangement of their young daughters, who didn&rsquo;t see their parents for nine months after the accident. Their reconnection to people who no longer seemed familiar was painful and slow.</p>
<p>Four decades later, their daughter Louise, a writer, poet and English professor, recounts this difficult transformation with a poetic candor that evokes the relentless determination of her mother and the silent desperation of her father. <em>Burned </em>is the story of how life can be restored through the sheer force of will.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>A riveting new novel from the Pulitzer Prize&ndash;winner that traverses the intimate landscape of one woman&rsquo;s life, from the 1880s to World War II. Margaret Mayfield is nearly an old maid at twenty-seven in post&ndash;Civil War Missouri when she marries Captain Andrew Jackson Jefferson Early. He&rsquo;s the most famous man their small town has ever produced. Margaret&rsquo;s mother calls the match &ldquo;a piece of luck.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Margaret is a good girl who has been raised to marry, yet Andrew confounds her expectations from the moment their train leaves for his naval base in faraway California. Soon she comes to understand that his devotion to science leaves precious little room for anything, or anyone, else.</p>
<p><em>Private Life</em> is a beautiful evocation of a woman&rsquo;s inner world: of the little girl within the hopeful bride, of the young woman filled with yearning, and of the faithful wife who comes to harbor a dangerous secret. But it is also a heartbreaking portrait of marriage and the mysteries that endure even in lives lived side by side.</p>
<p>Jane Smiley is the author of numerous novels, including <em>A Thousand Acres</em>, which was awarded the Pulitzer Prize, as well as four works of nonfiction.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>In his breakout bestseller, <em>The Perfect Storm</em>, Sebastian Junger created a wild ride that brilliantly captures the awesome power of the raging sea and the often futile attempts of humans to withstand it. Now, Junger turns his brilliant and empathetic eye to the reality of combat--the fear, the honor, and the trust among men in an extreme situation whose survival depends on their absolute commitment to one another. His on-the-ground account follows a single platoon through a 15-month tour of duty in the most dangerous outpost in Afghanistan's Korengal Valley. Through the experiences of these young men at war, he shows what it means to fight, to serve, and to face down mortal danger on a daily basis.</p>
<p>Riveting. Junger experiences everything the soldiers do&mdash;nerve-racking patrols, terrifying roadside bombings and ambushes, stultifying weeks in camp when they long for a firefight to relieve the tedium. Junger mixes visceral combat scenes&mdash;raptly aware of his own fear and exhaustion&mdash;with quieter reportage and insightful discussions of the physiology, social psychology, and even genetics of soldiering. The result is an unforgettable portrait of men under fire. A blend of popular science, psychology and history with a breathlessly paced narrative.</p>
<p>Sebastian Junger is the <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of <em>The Perfect Storm </em>and <em>A Death in Belmont</em>. He is a contributing editor to <em>Vanity Fair</em>, and has been awarded a National Magazine Award and an SAIS Novartis Prize for journalism.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Newbery-winning author, Louis Sachar has a new YA book out!<em> The Cardturner: A Novel About Imperfect Partners and Infinite Possibilities</em> is about a teenager named Alton Richards. The summer after Alton's junior year, things look bleak. His girlfriend has dumped him to hook up with his best friend. He has no money and no job. His parents insist that he drive his great-uncle Lester to his bridge club four times a week and be his cardturner -- whatever that means. Alton's uncle is old, blind, very sick, and very rich. Alton soon finds himself intrigued by his uncle, by the game of bridge, and especially by a pretty and shy girl, Toni Castaneda. There is tension, confusion, and life's crazy obstacles.</p>
<p>Louis Sachar explores the disparity between what you know and what you think you know. He inspires readers to think and think again. Mr. Sachar has published over twenty-one fiction and educational books for children. His book, Holes, won the prestigious National Book Award and the Newbery Medal.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>The Portola Art Gallery presents <em>Westward Ho - Deserts and Canyons of the American West</em> by Julia Munger Seelos of Redwood City. Inspired by the dramatic backdrops of the classic movie westerns, Julia dreamed of seeing the American West first hand. In her oil paintings, created on location in the canyons of Arizona, the mountains of Colorado and the deserts of California, she has followed in the footsteps of the great artists that helped open the West such as Albert Bierstadt, Gilbert Munger and Maynard Dixon.</p>
<p>The reception will have Navajo flute music from the canyon as a background.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Jan Schachter first encountered clay at age 6, sculpting animals in the basement of a hobbyist/ceramics teacher in Queens, New York. She intermittently continued building with clay throughout grade school. In high school an art teacher demonstrated throwing on the wheel and encouraged her interest in ceramics. In 1964, while employed as a research microbiologist in New York City, Jan began attending evening classes at Greenwich House Pottery.</p>
<p>After marrying in 1965 and while raising two children, Jan continued working part-time with clay for the next 14 years. She worked as a volunteer in numerous community programs and helped establish a potter's support group - the Hudson River Potters. In addition to creating her own work, Jan attended many ceramic classes and workshops, and studied weaving and basketry as well. She also became the founding director of a non-profit municipal gallery, The Gallery at Hastings on Hudson.</p>
<p>In her Portola Valley studio, Plum Tree Pottery, Jan enjoys making pots for everyday use; each is a subtle variation of a form - usually thrown in a series. She is a perfectionist (as much as the process allows) and is constantly in search of the perfect surface and ideal form while striving to create pots that have life and vitality. She has a casserole included in the permanent collection of the Renwick Gallery, National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC.</p></p>]]></description>

<p><p>Two best friends -- one unlucky-in-love divorcee (Robin Williams) and the other a fun-loving bachelor (John Travolta) -- have their lives turned upside down when they&rsquo;re unexpectedly charged with the care of six-year-old twins while on the verge of the biggest business deal of their lives. The not-so-kid-savvy bachelors stumble in their efforts to take care of the twins (newcomers Ella Bleu Travolta and Conner Rayburn), leading to one debacle after another, and perhaps to a new-found understanding of what&rsquo;s really important in life. </p></p>]]></description>
