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 Historical materials may also use outdated and potentially harmful language to refer to a variety of mental and physical disabilities.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

SUMMARY:WI Book Festival Author Event: Every Living Creature (Joshua Mezrich)
DESCRIPTION:October 15th\n7pm-8pm\nCentral Library – Lower-Level Program Room \nPresented in partnership with the Wisconsin Book Festival. \nWith more than 100\,000 patients in the United States waiting for life-saving organ transplants\, the shortage of organs will never be solved if someone must die for someone else to be saved. And yet a solution is well within reach—xenotransplantation\, or the transplanting of organs between different species—the once unimaginable scientific achievement that Joshua Mezrich explores in Every Living Creature. \nThe story begins with efforts using chimpanzees and baboons in the 60s through the 90s\, rife with ethical and practical complications and disappointments. The successful cloning of Dolly the sheep revived xeno-optimism\, followed by the discovery of CRISPR-Cas9\, which finally opened the door to xenotransplantation in humans\, using genetically modified pigs as organ donors. \nThe protagonists of this story are as incredible as the science it details: a transgender visionary\, the highest paid female CEO in the world\, who simply wants her daughter to live; the surgeon saved by a high-risk heart transplant\, who swears by the promise of pigs’ organs; the brilliant and brash surgeon-scientist-entrepreneur who is risking everything to make xenotransplantation a reality. Each plays a part in what is\, in the end\, the story of a miracle—not the answer to a prayer\, as Every Living Creature makes clear\, but a miracle we can breed. \nIn conversation with Dr. Margaret (Gretchen) Schwarze. \nCheck out more Wisconsin Book Festival & Wisconsin Science Festival partner events here!

SUMMARY:Sweaty Stories of Perimenopause
DESCRIPTION:Perimenopause isn’t new but the conversation around it is. If you’ve had itchy ears and/or skin\, trouble sleeping and staying asleep\, memory fog\, hot flashes\, night sweats\, memory fog\, or more\, then you’re probably perimenopausal. But you’re not alone. Join your fellow “Peris” in sharing stories and experiences because we are not alone and we shouldn’t feel like it.

SUMMARY:WI Book Festival Author Event: Homesick for a World Unknown (Miriam Horn)
DESCRIPTION:October 15th\n5:30-6:30pm\nCentral Library\, Community Room 302 \nPresented in partnership with the Wisconsin Book Festival and the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies. Registration is requested – sign up here. \nMeet environmental advocate\, journalist\, and filmmaker Miriam Horn\, whose latest book chronicles the life of the world’s most transformative\, yet elusive\, field biologist — and UW–Madison alumnus — George B. Schaller. \n“Schaller found his deepest satisfactions by disappearing into the last wildernesses\, his eyes wide open. We could all stand to learn from his humility.” — Gary Rosen\, The New York Times Book Review \nHomesick for a World Unkonwn by Miriam Horn is a riveting portrait of George B. Schaller\, the world’s leading field biologist\, that captures the seventy years he spent living among wild animals in the world’s remotest regions\, forever altering how we see—and save—the natural world. \nIn 1959\, though just twenty-six years old and a graduate student\, George B. Schaller shrugged off warnings of mortal danger and set off for the Belgian Congo to do what no other scientist had dared: study mountain gorillas\, the real King Kong\, by living alongside them. Boldly refusing arms and retinue\, Schaller and his wife\, Kay\, established a home in the jungle and came to share the apes’ rhythms and rules. After nearly two years of immersive research—a groundbreaking methodology he would spend his life honing—Schaller transformed how the world viewed gorillas; they were not murderous brutes but tender creatures\, and more like humans than any twentieth-century scientist had recognized. His mission to revolutionize our perceptions of wild animals would propel him across four continents and inspire generations of scientists. \nIn Homesick for a World Unknown\, Miriam Horn draws on thousands of pages from Schaller’s journals and letters\, globe-spanning interviews\, and two journeys into the field with the legendary scientist himself to trace his emergence as the founding father of modern wildlife conservation. She probes what drives him to know Earth’s wildest places and most fearsome creatures\, beginning with a childhood upended by displacement and atrocity. Born in Berlin in 1933 to an American socialite married to a German diplomat working for the Nazi regime\, the young Schaller was moved from one occupied country to another before finally arriving with his mother in the U.S. in 1947\, as an enemy alien. It was in the Missouri woods that teenage George found a place of respite and at the University of Alaska that he found both his calling and a lifelong partner in Kay. \nIn the decades following his work in the Congo\, Schaller went on to conduct the earliest studies of Indian tigers\, Chinese pandas\, Asiatic Cheetah\, and Tibetan antelope\, meticulously cataloging their private lives. He navigated acute danger\, violent conflict\, and treacherous politics in pursuit of empathy for and preservation of creatures big and small. It was Schaller who first guided Jane Goodall on her chimp study in Tanzania and led Peter Matthiessen into Nepal in search of the snow leopard. And while remaking wildlife science\, his impact went further still: he spurred the creation of vast national parks and partnered with local communities to protect the homes they share with these animals. A vivid and captivating account of the adventurous life of George B. Schaller\, here is the definitive portrait of the man who dared to challenge us to rethink our place in the natural world. \nHosted by Nathan Schulfer. In conversation with Meghan Hills. \n. \nCheck out more Wisconsin Book Festival & Wisconsin Science Festival partner events here!
