SUMMARY:Vroman's: Andrew Lawler discusses Under Jerusalem: The Buried History of the World's Most Contested City
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual event and will take place on Crowdcast.\nRegister for FREE ahead of time to save your spot and get an email reminder! Scroll down to purchase your copy of the book from Vroman’s. \nEVENT LINK: TBA \nIn 1863\, a French senator arrived in Jerusalem hoping to unearth relics dating to biblical times. Digging deep underground\, he discovered an ancient grave that\, he claimed\, belonged to an Old Testament queen. News of his find ricocheted around the world\, evoking awe and envy alike\, and inspiring others to explore Jerusalem’s storied past. \nIn the century and a half since the Frenchman broke ground\, Jerusalem has drawn a global cast of fortune seekers and missionaries\, archaeologists and zealots\, all of them eager to extract the biblical past from beneath the city’s streets and shrines. Their efforts have had profound effects\, not only on our understanding of Jerusalem’s history\, but on its hotly disputed present. The quest to retrieve ancient Jewish heritage has sparked bloody riots and thwarted international peace agreements. It has served as a cudgel\, a way to stake a claim to the most contested city on the planet. Today\, the earth below Jerusalem remains a battleground in the struggle to control the city above. \nUnder Jerusalem takes readers into the tombs\, tunnels\, and trenches of the Holy City. It brings to life the indelible characters who have investigated this subterranean landscape. With clarity and verve\, acclaimed journalist Andrew Lawler reveals how their pursuit has not only defined the conflict over modern Jerusalem\, but could provide a map for two peoples and three faiths to peacefully coexist.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Jung Yun discusses O Beautiful
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual event and will take place on Crowdcast.\nRegister for FREE ahead of time to save your spot and get an email reminder! Scroll down to purchase your copy of the book from Vroman’s. \nEVENT LINK: TBA \nElinor Hanson\, a forty-something former model\, is struggling to reinvent herself as a freelance writer when she receives an unexpected assignment. Her mentor from grad school offers her a chance to write for a prestigious magazine about the Bakken oil boom in North Dakota. Elinor grew up near the Bakken\, raised by an overbearing father and a distant Korean mother who met and married when he was stationed overseas. After decades away from home\, Elinor returns to a landscape she hardly recognizes\, overrun by tens of thousands of newcomers. \nSurrounded by roughnecks seeking their fortunes in oil and long-time residents worried about their changing community\, Elinor experiences a profound sense of alienation and grief. She rages at the unrelenting male gaze\, the locals who still see her as a foreigner\, and the memories of her family’s estrangement after her mother decided to escape her unhappy marriage\, leaving Elinor and her sister behind. The longer she pursues this potentially career-altering assignment\, the more her past intertwines with the story she’s trying to tell\, revealing disturbing new realities that will forever change her and the way she looks at the world. \nWith spare and graceful prose\, Jung Yun’s O Beautiful presents an immersive portrait of a community rife with tensions and competing interests\, and one woman’s attempts to reconcile her anger with her love of a beautiful\, but troubled land.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Wil Haygood discusses Colorization: One Hundred Years of Black Films in a White World
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual event and will take place on Crowdcast.\nRegister for FREE ahead of time to save your spot and get an email reminder! Scroll down to purchase your copy of the book from Vroman’s. \nEVENT LINK: TBA \nThis unprecedented history of Black cinema examines 100 years of Black movies–from Gone with the Wind to Blaxploitation films to Black Panther–using the struggles and triumphs of the artists\, and the films themselves\, as a prism to explore Black culture\, civil rights\, and racism in America. From the acclaimed author of The Butler and Showdown. \nBeginning in 1915 with D. W. Griffith’s The Birth of a Nation–which glorified the Ku Klux Klan and became Hollywood’s first blockbuster–Wil Haygood gives us an incisive\, fascinating\, little-known history\, spanning more than a century\, of Black artists in the film business\, on-screen and behind the scenes. \nHe makes clear the effects of changing social realities and events on the business of making movies and on what was represented on the screen: from Jim Crow and segregation to white flight and interracial relationships\, from the assassination of Malcolm X\, to the O. J. Simpson trial\, to the Black Lives Matter movement. He considers the films themselves–including Imitation of Life\, Gone with the Wind\, Porgy and Bess\, the Blaxploitation films of the seventies\, Do The Right Thing\, 12 Years a Slave\, and Black Panther. And he brings to new light the careers and significance of a wide range of historic and contemporary figures: Hattie McDaniel\, Sidney Poitier\, Berry Gordy\, Alex Haley\, Spike Lee\, Billy Dee Willliams\, Richard Pryor\, Halle Berry\, Ava DuVernay\, and Jordan Peele\, among many others. \nAn important\, timely book\, Colorization gives us both an unprecedented history of Black cinema and a groundbreaking perspective on racism in modern America.

DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual event and will take place on Crowdcast.\nRegister for FREE ahead of time to save your spot and get an email reminder! Scroll down to purchase your copy of the book from Vroman’s. \nEVENT LINK: https://www.crowdcast.io/e/jared-seide-jose-recio \nJared Seide presents Where Compassion Begins\nCompassion is sometimes confused with empathy\, or even sympathy. It is neither\, though it includes some aspects of both. Compassion begins when we allow ourselves to really hear and attune to suffering\, that of others\, as well as ourselves. And hearing and perceiving this anguish\, we are moved to do something about it. What takes compassion beyond sympathy or empathy is that it includes action\, action that is considered\, skillful and beneficial.\nCouncil is a foundational practice that builds our capacity to perceive the experience of others and invites us to pay attention. When we listen differently to someone’s story\, without judging\, we create the conditions for compassion to arise. Council asks us to lean in\, to learn ways we can skillfully attend to the pain we recognize in ourselves and others\, and to do something helpful in response. This book is an invitation to build the muscle of compassion\, through exercises and practices that enhance our capacity to listen from the heart and\, in so doing\, take care of ourselves and those around us. \nJosé L. Recio presents Transitions\nTransitions is a book of mainstream fiction\, written in the tradition of the short stories classics. Like Joseph Conrad\, the author of “Transitions” put fictional characters in situations different from his own experiences but suitable to trigger the same or very similar set of emotions when dealing with those situations.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Hillary Rodham Clinton and Louise Penny discussing State of Terror
DESCRIPTION:This ticketed event will take place on Crowdcast. There will not be an opportunity to submit questions during the live event\, but you can submit questions when you purchase your ticket\, at check out. \nABOUT THE BOOK:\nAfter a tumultuous period in American politics\, a new administration has just been sworn in\, and to everyone’s surprise the president chooses a political enemy for the vital position of secretary of state. \nThere is no love lost between the president of the United States and Ellen Adams\, his new secretary of state. But it’s a canny move on the part of the president. With this appointment\, he silences one of his harshest critics\, since taking the job means Adams must step down as head of her multinational media conglomerate. \nAs the new president addresses Congress for the first time\, with Secretary Adams in attendance\, Anahita Dahir\, a young foreign service officer (FSO) on the Pakistan desk at the State Department\, receives a baffling text from an anonymous source. \nToo late\, she realizes the message was a hastily coded warning. \nWhat begins as a series of apparent terrorist attacks is revealed to be the beginning of an international chess game involving the volatile and Byzantine politics of Pakistan\, Afghanistan\, and Iran; the race to develop nuclear weapons in the region; the Russian mob; a burgeoning rogue terrorist organization; and an American government set back on its heels in the international arena. \nAs the horrifying scale of the threat becomes clear\, Secretary Adams and her team realize it has been carefully planned to take advantage of four years of an American government out of touch with international affairs\, out of practice with diplomacy\, and out of power in the places where it counts the most. \nTo defeat such an intricate\, carefully constructed conspiracy\, it will take the skills of a unique team: a passionate young FSO; a dedicated journalist; and a smart\, determined\, but as yet untested new secretary of state. \nState of Terror is a unique and utterly compelling international thriller cowritten by Hillary Rodham Clinton\, the 67th secretary of state\, and Louise Penny\, a multiple award-winning #1 New York Times bestselling novelist. (Simon & Schuster/St. Martin’s Press) \n  \nThis event ticket includes a hardcover copy of State of Terror with signed bookplate\, as well as online access to the event for your household. You will receive a link and password to attend the Crowdcast event on the afternoon of Thursday\, October 14th. \n  \nPlease note: Ticket options include in-store pick up; shipped domestically (allow up to 3 weeks for delivery); or shipped internationally (allow 4-5 weeks for delivery). Books will be mailed to you shortly after the event. For those who choose in-store pick up\, you will be contacted by Vroman’s via email shortly after the event and alerted as to when your book will be ready for pick up. \n  \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Ryan Hampton discusses Unsettled: How the Purdue Pharma Bankruptcy Failed the Victims of the American Overdose Crisis
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual event and will take place on Crowdcast.\nRegister for FREE ahead of time to save your spot and get an email reminder! Scroll down to purchase your copy of the book from Vroman’s. \nEVENT LINK: https://www.crowdcast.io/e/ryan-hampton \nIn September 2019\, Purdue Pharma–the maker of OxyContin and a company controlled by the infamous billionaire Sackler family–filed for bankruptcy to protect itself from 2\,600 lawsuits for its role in fueling the U.S. overdose crisis. Author and activist Ryan Hampton served as co-chair of the official creditors committee that acted as a watchdog during the process\, one of only four victims appointed among representatives of big insurance companies\, hospitals\, and pharmacies. He entered the case believing that exposing the Sacklers and mobilizing against Purdue would be enough to right the scales of justice. But he soon learned that behind closed doors\, justice had plenty of other competition–and it came with a hefty price tag.\nUnsettled is the inside story of Purdue’s excruciating Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings\, the company’s eventual restructuring\, and the Sackler family’s evasion of any true accountability. It’s also the untold story of how a group of determined ordinary people tried to see justice done against the odds–and in the face of brutal opposition from powerful institutions and even government representatives. \nAlthough America was envisioned as an equitable place\, where the vulnerable are protected from the greed of the powerful\, the corporate-bankruptcy process betrays those values. In its heart of hearts\, this system is built to shield the ultra-wealthy\, exploit loopholes for political power\, promote gross wealth inequality\, and allow companies such as Purdue Pharma to run amok. \nThe real story of the Purdue bankruptcy wasn’t that the billion-dollar corporation was a villain\, a serial federal offender. No matter what the media said\, Purdue didn’t do this alone. They were aided and abetted by the very systems and institutions that were supposed to protect Americans. Even on-your-side elected officials worked against Purdue’s victims–maintaining the status quo at all costs. \nAmericans deserve to know exactly who is responsible for failing to protect people over profits–and what a human life is worth to corporations\, billionaires\, and lawmakers. Unsettled is what happened behind closed doors–the story of a sick\, broken system that destroyed millions of lives and let the Sacklers off almost scot-free.
