SUMMARY:Vroman's: Sara Kuburic discusses It's On Me
DESCRIPTION:So many of us feel lonely\, unfulfilled\, or trapped–in our roles and relationships\, in cycles of self-sabotage and bad decisions\, by our patterns and misguided attempts to feel happy or to feel something. According to existential psychotherapist Sara Kuburic\, it doesn’t have to be so difficult. Really. \nThe answer is found in facing ourselves–whatever version that might be\, regardless of whether we like the person we see reflected back to us. It’s about accepting full responsibility for the choices and actions that create our reality. It’s about finally taking ownership of this person we call our “Self.” It’s about realizing that it’s on us to figure out the two most essential questions: “Who am I” and “Why am I here?” and then to live accordingly. \nIn It’s on Me\, Kuburic unpacks “self-loss\,” giving us new vocabulary to understand this rarely talked about experience and offers tools she’s used for years to help clients recover. Self-loss becomes apparent when we do not recognize ourselves in our actions\, words\, or relationships; when we lose sight of who we truly are\, and feel the pain and emptiness from performing or observing life\, rather than living it. \nRevelatory and empowering\, Kuburic shows how we can stop sleepwalking our way through the lives we don’t want and step into our most vibrant\, authentic\, and meaningful Self. In doing so\, we unlock a deep sense of connection to our innermost being\, and to those around us.

SUMMARY:T. Boyle Tavern: Geeks Who Drink Trivia Night

Each quiz consists of seven rounds of eight questions\, in a variety of formats\, including audio and visual rounds. Teams can be up to six players\, so bring your smartest friends (or some likable dummies)—or come solo. We can always help you join a team! \nNo reservations are needed\, just show up! Winning teams get bar cash and other prizes\, depending on the venue. Bonus questions sprinkled throughout the quiz will net you additional goodies. But mostly it’s about establishing your dominance—or at least pleasantly surprising yourself. You’re into that\, right?

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Evelyn McoDonnell discusses The World According To Joan Didion
DESCRIPTION:Joan Didion was a writer’s writer; not only a groundbreaking journalist\, essayist\, novelist and screenwriter\, but a keen observer who honed her sights on life’s telling details. Her insights continue to influence creatives and admirers\, encouraging them to become close observers of the world\, unsentimental critics\, and meticulous stylists. \nAn antidote to a global view that narrows our vision to the smallest screens\, The World According to Joan Didion is a meditation on the people\, places\, and objects that propelled Didion’s prose and an invitation to journalists\, storytellers\, and life adventurers to “throw themselves into the convulsions of the world\,” as she once said. \nEvelyn McDonnell\, the acclaimed journalist\, essayist\, critic\, feminist\, native Californian\, and university professor who regularly teaches Didion’s work\, is attuned to interpret Didion’s vision for readers today. Inspired by Didion’s own words–from her works both published and unpublished–and informed by the people who knew Didion and those whose lives she shaped\, The World According to Joan Didion is an illustrated journey through her life\, tracing the path she carved from Sacramento\, Portuguese Bend\, Los Angeles\, and Malibu to Manhattan\, Miami\, and Hawaii. McDonnell reveals the world as it was seen through Didion’s eyes and explores her work in chapters keyed to the singular physical motifs of her writing: Snake. Typewriter. Hotel. Notebook. Girl. Etc. \nOne of the first books to be published after the revered writer’s death in 2021\, The World According to Joan Didion is a literary companion for those embarking on new journeys and a guide to innovative ways of being. It will radically transform the way you explore the world\, and will help you answer the question as you sit in a café\, or on a plane or train\, pondering the future: What would Joan Didion have seen?

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Ticketed - Chloe Gong\, in conversation with Racquel Marie\, discussing Foul Heart Huntsman
DESCRIPTION:Winter is drawing thick in 1932 Shanghai\, as is the ever-nearing threat of a Japanese invasion. \nRosalind Lang has suffered the worst possible fate for a national spy: she’s been exposed. With the media storm camped outside her apartment for the infamous Lady Fortune\, she’s barely left her bedroom in weeks\, plotting her next course of action after Orion was taken and his memories of Rosalind wiped. Though their marriage might have been a sham\, his absence hurts her more than any physical wound. She won’t rest until she gets him back. \nBut with her identity in the open\, the task is near impossible. The only way to leave the city and rescue Orion is under the guise of a national tour. It’s easy to convince her superiors that the countryside needs unity more than ever\, and who better than an immortal girl to stir pride and strength into the people? \nWhen the tour goes wrong\, however\, everything Rosalind once knew is thrown up in the air. Taking refuge outside Shanghai\, old ghosts come into the open and adversaries turn to allies. To save Orion\, they must find a cure to his mother’s traitorous invention and take this dangerous chemical weapon away from impending foreign invasion–but the clock is ticking\, and if Rosalind fails\, it’s not only Orion she loses\, but her nation itself. (Margaret K. McElderry Books) \nRacquel Marie grew up in Southern California\, where her passion for storytelling of all kinds was encouraged by her friends and big family. She received a BA in English with an emphasis in creative writing and a minor in gender and sexuality studies from the University of California\, Irvine. She is the author of Ophelia After All\, You Don’t Have a Shot\, and many unfinished first drafts.

SUMMARY:Steve Searles\, in conversation with Chris Erskine\, discusses What the Bears Know
DESCRIPTION:In this wondrous and eye-opening exploration\, Steve Searles\, the renowned and respected “Bear Whisperer” of Mammoth Lakes\, takes the reader on a journey into the lives of these remarkable creatures and the world we share. \nIn the late 1990s\, the town of Mammoth Lakes\, California hired Steve Searles as a hunter to cull half its troublesome bear population. But as he began to prepare for the grim task\, the bears soon won him over\, and Searles realized there had to be a better way. He soon developed non-lethal tactics to control their behavior and overpopulation which heralded a landmark moment in the care and handling of the American black bear. \nBut change was not without its challenges. To some\, his success was dismissed due to his lack of formal academic training. Yet Searles never wavered in his commitment and eventually became not just a local folk hero but a nationally recognized expert. This high school dropout saved not just the bears\, but\, in many ways\, his community. \nIn a tradition that runs from John Muir to Bear Grylls\, Searles finds a fellowship with nature and a deeper meaning in the world of bears. Do bears understand things we don’t? Are they dialed into some greater natural force? \nUnlike us\, bears waste little time on unreasonable fears. The bears are fully in the moment. They have an inner peace that seems to offset their power and strength. That may explain why no other animal on the planet is as revered as the bear. \nAs Searles shares his remarkable knowledge and we become immersed in the ursine world\, you’ll never look at bears or nature the same way again. Warm and poignant\, and perfect for anyone who has been fascinated by the natural world\, What the Bears Know shows that wisdom and fulfillment can come from unexpected places. (Pegasus Books)

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Louis Friedman discuss Alone But Not Lonely
DESCRIPTION:Humans have always been fascinated by the possibility of extraterrestrial life\, often wondering if we are alone in the universe. Drawing on nearly fifty years as a leader in planetary exploration\, Louis Friedman brings into focus the subject of extraterrestrial life\, separating knowledge from conjecture\, fact from fiction\, to draw scientific and technical conclusions that answer this enduring question. \nFriedman argues that intelligent life is probably rare in the universe (maybe even uniquely on Earth) but that simple life is likely abundant on millions or billions of planets waiting now to be discovered. He asserts that studying and searching for extraterrestrial life cannot be done by interstellar probes–due to the vastness of space and the comparative brevity of human lifespans–but it can be done remotely by a new technique involving the solar gravity lens that can magnify exoplanets by tens of billions. This technique will allow humankind to explore exoplanets and open up an exciting new field of comparative astrobiology. \nWide-ranging in scope\, this book discusses the history of searching for extraterrestrial life\, the scientific evidence thereof\, and finally his own conclusions on what’s next. Included in the book are three appendices: an explanation of interstellar messaging\, a reprint of a debate between Carl Sagan and Ernst Mayr on extraterrestrial intelligence\, and an opinion essay on the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
