SUMMARY:WI Book Festival Author Event: Unpasteurized Inga: Recipes and Reflections on Food\, Farming\, and Finding Your Way Back (Inga Orth)
DESCRIPTION:October 17th\n12-1pm\nMadison Museum of Contemporary Art – Lecture Hall \nPresented in partnership with the Wisconsin Book Festival. \nInga Orth’s memoir is not a straight line from beginning to end—it’s a mosaic of memory\, resilience\, and rediscovery told in her authentic voice. She begins not with childhood\, but with the raw now: burnout\, heartbreak\, and the slow process of piecing herself back together. From there\, she weaves through tangents that reveal the threads of her life—farm chores alongside her grandfather\, thrift-store adventures with her grandmother\, the sting of criticism that shaped her self-worth\, and the sexism she faced as a young woman farmer and business owner. \nOrth takes readers behind the scenes of her public life as host of Around the Farm Table\, balancing the beauty of Wisconsin farming with private battles against self-doubt\, unhealthy relationships\, and the numbing pull of alcohol. Yet through it all runs her constant love of food\, farming\, and storytelling—the things that tether her to purpose. \nWoven throughout are recipes tied to these memories and milestones—dishes that carry the scent of childhood kitchens\, the grit of farm life\, and the joy of rediscovering connection at the table. \nAt its heart\, this memoir celebrates the courage to break cycles\, the grace of chosen family\, and the joy of rediscovering yourself in community\, farming\, friendship\, and love. It’s a book for anyone who has ever felt unseen\, silenced\, or burned out—and is searching for a way home to themselves. \nIn conversation with Susie Apps Bodilly. \nCheck out more Wisconsin Book Festival & Wisconsin Science Festival partner events here!

SUMMARY:Badger Talk - ACORNS (Activities for Community Outreach in STEM)
DESCRIPTION:This is a free\, in-person talk hosted on October 17\, 2026 at 1:00 PM by Iron Ridge Public Library in Iron Ridge\, WI. Registration is encouraged\, but not required. More info to come on how to register. There will be no virtual option for this event. This event is a part of the Wisconsin Science Festival!\n\nStudies show that feelings of belonging are the number one indicator of retention in STEM. The ability of students to see themselves in STEM spaces is crucial to building this sense of belonging. At the same time\, students are only able to envision themselves as scientists in as much as they are doing science. An ACORNS program is a highly interactive\, tactile STEM-themed activity. These could include modeling planet formation with ice cream and cookies\, exploring stellar fusion with the ingredients of s’mores\, and measuring the speed of light using a chocolate bar.\n\nThis shift from a lecture-style format to a hands-on\, student-led dialogue allows for an immersive STEM experience\, highlighting both that science can be fun\, accessible\, and messy\, but also that anyone is capable of doing it\, regardless of expertise. Science is a state of mind\, defined by curiosity–and every person has plenty of that.\n\nZach Lewis is a graduate student in astronomy at UW-Madison. His research focuses on the evolution of elements inside galaxies. He uses JWST observations of distant galaxies to characterize how stars produce elements and eject them into their host galaxy\, and how those elements then escape the galaxy or form new stars.

SUMMARY:The Insect Epiphany: How Our Six-Legged Allies Shape Human Culture
DESCRIPTION:Barrett Klein\, University of Wisconsin – La Crosse professor and author of The Insect Epiphany\, will share his knowledge and passion with us at this event. \nInsects surround us. They fuel life on Earth through their roles as pollinators\, predators\, and prey\, but rarely do we consider the outsized influence they have had on our culture and civilization. Their anatomy and habits inform how we live\, work\, create art\, and innovate —from ancient etchings to avant-garde art\, from bug-based meals to haute couture—The Insect Epiphany proves that our world would look very different without insects\, not just because they are crucial to our ecosystems\, but because they have shaped and inspired so many aspects of what makes us human.

SUMMARY:WI Book Festival Author Event: Dispelling Dementia - Narratives of Loss and Resilience (Nathanial Chin & Robert Kolker)
DESCRIPTION:October 17th\n1:30-2:30pm\nCentral Library – Community Room 302 \nPresented in partnership with the Wisconsin Book Festival. \nDr. Nathaniel Chin and Robert Kolker will join in conversation about two families’ journeys tackling the impact and influence of dementia on their loved ones’ lives. Approaching the topic from varying perspectives—from medical to journalistic—Chin’s When Memory Fades and Kolker’s The Vanishing Family speak to the scientific\, emotional\, and social tolls of this complex disease. \nIn conversation with WPR host\, Lee Rayburn. \nWhen Memory Fades: What to Expect at Every Stage\, from Early Signs to Full Support for Alzheimer’s and Dementia is clear\, smart\, and cuts through the understandable impulse to deny symptoms and grasp at ineffective treatments. From the first concerns that something might be wrong right through to the toughest stages of the disease\, When Memory Fades provides granular information and frames topics that help readers figure out how to think about what’s happening. \nIn the idyllic American town of Pleasant Hills\, Pennsylvania\, there lived a family with nine siblings\, the youngest a girl named Barb. As the older children headed off to college and started their lives\, only Barb was home to see their beautiful\, still-young mother fall under a gothic spell\, changing into someone she didn’t recognize: withdrawn\, neglectful\, uncaring. Thus begins The Vanishing Family\, journalist Robert Kolker’s superb follow-up to Hidden Valley Road. This family\, we learn\, has a genetic mutation that causes dementia\, but with an especially cruel twist. As early as their forties\, formerly loving parents and hard-driving executives will lose their jobs\, have affairs\, take up drinking—shed all inhibitions and sense of responsibility—and become people their families hardly know. Their former personalities seem to vanish—and there is a fifty-fifty chance that it will happen to their children\, too. \nCheck out more Wisconsin Book Festival & Wisconsin Science Festival partner events here!

SUMMARY:WI Book Festival Author Event: In Trees (Robert Moor)
DESCRIPTION:October 17th\n1:30-2:30pm\nMadison Museum of Contemporary Art – Lecture Hall \nPresented in partnership with the Wisconsin Book Festival. \nOne day\, on a whim\, Robert Moor set out to climb a tree near his home—unwittingly embarking on what would become a decade-long\, globe-spanning adventure of intellectual and spiritual transformation. Pursuing the hidden wisdom of trees\, he scales to the very top of a giant sequoia while filming a nature documentary with David Attenborough; he treks through swamps in Papua to reach a treehouse-dwelling tribe of hunter-gatherers; and he journeys to a remote research camp in Tanzania\, where he spends a memorable night sleeping in a chimpanzee nest\, seeking to understand our deep evolutionary history. Eventually\, having gained a radical new outlook on both our gnarled past and our ever-branching future\, he joins an intrepid clan of climate activists risking everything to halt construction of a new oil pipeline and save an ancient forest. \nAlong the way\, Moor learns the art of “tree-thinking\,” which\, he discovers\, has the power to break open some of humanity’s oldest questions: What is the secret to truly growing old? How do we set down deeper roots in an increasingly chaotic world? Most importantly\, how should we—as individuals\, as communities\, as stewards of the earth—live? \nA witty and relentlessly curious excursion through philosophy\, history\, and science\, what begins as an ode to the miracle of trees blossoms into a joyous\, daring\, fiercely hopeful endeavor to arborize humanity. \nCheck out more Wisconsin Book Festival & Wisconsin Science Festival partner events here!

SUMMARY:WI Book Festival Author Event: A Womb of One's Own (Tara Mulder)
DESCRIPTION:October 17th\n3-4pm\nMadison Museum of Contemporary Art – Lecture Hall \nPresented in partnership with the Wisconsin Book Festival. \nPresented in partnership with the Wisconsin Science Festival. \nA bold new history of women’s health\, brought to life through ancient women’s stories of pregnancy and birth. \nIn the well-trod history of the Roman Empire\, a pivotal moment has long gone unnoticed: It was in ancient Rome that medical men first set their sights on childbirth\, the traditional domain of female midwives. \nTaking us to the dawn of Western obstetrics\, A Womb of One’s Own offers a feminist account of how\, against a long tradition of midwifery\, male doctors began claiming authority in reproductive matters\, with an emphasis on theoretical rather than practical knowledge. Their intrusion paved the way for the later criminalization of midwives and the cloaking of childbirth in secrecy and shame. \nYet communities of Roman women continued to help each other through the journey from preconception to postpartum\, guided by their own experience and the expertise of midwives. Tara Mulder recovers stories of ancient women living and resisting as they sought autonomy over their bodies and their health. Recounting their experiences in vivid\, intimate detail\, she reveals how old our modern conflicts about birth truly are. \nIn conversation with Kate Phelps. \nCheck out more Wisconsin Book Festival & Wisconsin Science Festival partner events here!

SUMMARY:WI Book Festival Author Event: Stone Age Astronaut (Liam Callanan)
DESCRIPTION:October 17th\n4:30-5:30pm\nCentral Library – Community Room 302 \nPresented in partnership with the Wisconsin Book Festival. \nAward-winning author Liam Callanan uncovers the astonishing life of Lester Maitland—the Milwaukee-born aviator who\, in 1927\, became the first person to fly to Hawaii\, earning national acclaim on par with Charles Lindbergh’s transatlantic triumph. For a brief moment\, the two men shared headlines\, White House invitations\, and fame. But while Lindbergh’s legacy grew\, Maitland’s all but vanished. \nCallanan brings Maitland back into the spotlight\, tracing his meteoric early career: flight instructor at nineteen; one of the US Army’s first test pilots; the first American to fly faster than 200 mph; and the pioneering airman whose Pacific crossing earned him the Distinguished Flying Cross. \nJust twenty-two days after becoming Executive Officer of the Far East Air Service Command—and one day after Pearl Harbor—Maitland witnessed the destruction of much of the Far East Air Force in the Philippines. Later\, he commanded the 386th Bomb Group in Europe\, making him World War II’s oldest bomber pilot\, only to be abruptly and mysteriously retired weeks before D-Day. After the war\, Maitland experienced a series of professional and personal disappointments\, and he quietly faded into obscurity. He eventually became an Episcopal priest\, serving small parishes far from the glamour of his early days in the cockpit. \nThe pages of Stone Age Astronaut hum with the tension and excitement of early aviation\, rendered in a richly detailed narrative and Callanan’s research—spanning archives\, newspapers\, interviews\, and travel to key sites—to reveal the remarkable sweep of Lester Maitland’s world. Along the way\, readers encounter a constellation of notable figures\, including Amelia Earhart\, Billy Mitchell\, Ernest Hemingway\, Gerald Ford\, and Harry Houdini. With sparkling prose and a storyteller’s instinct for detail\, Callanan resurrects a man whose life intersected with major events\, eras\, and personalities—but who has inexplicably slipped through the cracks of American memory. A gripping portrait of ambition\, innovation\, fame\, failure\, and reinvention—and the enduring human urge to fly—Stone Age Astronaut ensures that Lester Maitland’s extraordinary story will no longer be forgotten. \nIn conversation with Jeff Oloizia. \nCheck out more Wisconsin Book Festival & Wisconsin Science Festival partner events here!
