SUMMARY:WI Book Festival Author Event: Spooky Rivers (Geo Rutherford)
DESCRIPTION:October 16th\n7:30-8:30pm\nDeLuca Forum\, Discovery Building \nPresented in partnership with the Wisconsin Book Festival. \nTake the plunge into the strangest\, spookiest\, and most fascinating rivers around the world (if you dare) in this beautifully illustrated companion to Spooky Lakes—the New York Times and Indiebound bestseller from TikTok star and educator Geo Rutherford. \nFrom Geo Rutherford—the creator of the hit series Spooky Lake Month (over 79 million likes!)—comes this thrilling nonfiction book that follows the winding histories of 25 mysterious rivers around the world. Readers will explore natural phenomena\, scientific oddities\, historical events\, and environmental disasters\, as well as the myths and legends tied to these waterways\, which are increasingly threatened by climate change. \nRivers are Earth’s restless travelers—carving landscapes\, shaping history\, and holding secrets. Some are forces of destruction\, sweeping away everything in their path\, while others are lifelines\, sustaining civilizations for millennia. And some are both\, bringing prosperity and devastation in equal measure. \nFrom deadly whirlpools to lost cities submerged beneath their waves\, these rivers challenge everything we think we know about the natural world. There are rivers that catch fire\, rivers that boil\, and rivers so deep they seem bottomless. Some slither beneath the ground you stand on\, while others vanish without a trace. \nWho knew rivers could be so . . . spooky? \nIn conversation with Anne Moser. \nCheck out more Wisconsin Book Festival & Wisconsin Science Festival partner events here! \nPlease note that there is a home Badger volleyball game at the Field House on October 16 evening\, which will likely affect parking availability and pricing. Please plan accordingly\, arrive early and consider alternative transportation than driving your own vehicle.

SUMMARY:WI Book Festival Author Event: Hidden Creatures (Dino Martins)
DESCRIPTION:October 16th\n6-7pm\nDeLuca Forum\, Discovery Building \nPresented in partnership with the Wisconsin Book Festival. \nThere is the tapeworm\, which can grow 120 feet in length within the gut of a whale; the tsetse fly\, a notorious vector of disease that can pierce the skin even of crocodiles with its needle-like mouth; and the most universal symbol of parasitic behavior: the leech. Long villainized as\, well\, parasitic\, these creatures are actually a vital part of every ecosystem—and Dr. Dino Martins\, an award-winning entomologist and biologist from Kenya\, has made it his life’s mission to demystify these beguiling beings. \nHidden Creatures is a journey around the world ten times over—from Martins’ home in the wilds of East Africa\, to the rainforests of the Amazon\, to cities and backyards across the globe—and along the way\, we encounter the brilliant and eccentric experts who join Martins on his adventures to investigate not only parasites but their hosts\, from hyraxes and hippos to\, of course\, humans. Immersive\, driven by an utterly infectious curiosity\, and sure to transform every reader’s understanding of these organisms\, Hidden Creatures has the magnetic force of a David Attenborough documentary and introduces a monumental\, charismatic new voice in science writing. \nIn conversation with Lyric Bartholomay. \nCheck out more Wisconsin Book Festival & Wisconsin Science Festival partner events here! \nPlease note that there is a home Badger volleyball game at the Field House on October 16 evening\, which will likely affect parking availability and pricing. Please plan accordingly\, arrive early and consider alternative transportation than driving your own vehicle.

SUMMARY:WI Book Festival Author Event: The Best Science Stories and How They Work (Siri Carpenter)
DESCRIPTION:October 16th\n4:30-5:30pm\nDeLuca Forum\, Discovery Building \nPresented in partnership with the Wisconsin Book Festival. \nAn invitation to engage with some of today’s most respected science journalists as they take readers beneath the surface to tell the stories behind eleven of the best science stories. \nWith eleven deeply reported\, artfully crafted stories and annotations by some of the most thoughtful and respected science journalists working today\, The Best Science Stories and How They Work is more than the sum of its impressive parts. Experience the pleasure of reading a “Best of” anthology\, attending a science writing masterclass\, and meeting journalists who become more than their familiar bylines. Each piece benefits from an introduction\, annotations\, and a conversation between the piece’s author and annotator. \nSiri Carpenter—editor of this book and cofounder of The Open Notebook\, a leading source of training and educational materials for journalists who cover science—has long considered what’s behind the best writing. The pieces in this guide are drawn from a range of publications such as Scientific American\, Nature\, The Atlantic\, and The New York Times Magazine and offer a unique perspective on how great science journalism happens: the careful structuring of a narrative\, the delicate balance of skepticism and wonder\, the ethical challenges of working with sources\, the artistry of prose that sings. Readers will not only encounter outstanding examples of stellar storytelling\, but they will also understand how these successful stories were reported and written\, revealing the choices fundamental to good science journalism. Following each annotation\, a Q&A with the original author provides an intimate look at the decisions and challenges that shaped their work. \nTaken together\, these pieces and annotations reveal the detailed\, technical narrative work required to tell science stories. The book will delight\, inspire\, and equip readers with new tools to appreciate the stories that matter most. \nContributors: Jordana Cepelewicz\, Shraddha Chakradhar\, Nadia Drake\, Ben Goldfarb\, Sabrina Imbler\, Ferris Jabr\, Emily Laber-Warren\, Stephanie M. Lee\, Dana Mackenzie\, Amy Maxmen\, Emiliano Rodríguez Mega\, Kendra Pierre-Louis\, Debbie Ponchner\, Sandeep Ravindran\, Mary Roach\, Paola Rosa-Aquino\, Ashley Smart\, Jessica Seigel\, Ramin Skibba\, Kamala Thiagarajan\, Bijal Trivedi\, and Ed Yong \nIn conversation with Will Cushman. \nCheck out more Wisconsin Book Festival & Wisconsin Science Festival partner events here! \nPlease note that there is a home Badger volleyball game at the Field House on October 16 evening\, which will likely affect parking availability and pricing. Please plan accordingly\, arrive early and consider alternative transportation than driving your own vehicle.

SUMMARY:Craft/Work Exhibition Open House
DESCRIPTION:Join Ebling Library’s Curator of Historical Collections for an exhibition open house of “Craft/Work: A History of Occupational and Art Therapies.” Drawn from the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s medical history collections\, the exhibition traces the intersections of psychiatry\, disability rights\, social work\, and art across three centuries to explore how art- and craftmaking affect our wellbeing. Craft/Work moves from the French Revolutionary origins of “moral treatment” in asylums to the emergence of occupational therapy from the Arts and Crafts and Settlement House movements to the surprising influence of Bauhaus emigrés on theories of art therapy. \nPlease note that the exhibition includes materials that depict graphic wartime injuries and full-frontal male nudity. Historical materials may also use outdated and potentially harmful language to refer to a variety of mental and physical disabilities. Please take care when attending. \nRecommended for PG13+ \n
