SUMMARY:Alzheimer's Association Education Session: Effective Communication Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Communication is more than just talking and listening – it’s also about sending and receiving messages through attitude\, tone of voice\, facial expressions and body language. As people with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias progress in their journey and the ability to use words is lost\, families need new ways to connect. Join us to explore how communication takes place when someone has Alzheimer’s\, learn to decode the verbal and behavioral messages delivered by someone with dementia\, and identify strategies to help you connect and communicate at each stage of the disease.

An evil king has been toppled\, and they are left to face the consequences of the reluctant role they played in his reign of terror. Now they are hated and alone\, exiled to the outskirts of society. \nThroughout the land\, hushed voices whisper of brittle ground and a faint scent of brimstone in the air—and Murtagh senses that something wicked lurks in the shadows of Alagaësia.

SUMMARY:Online Author Talk with Madeline Miller
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to a fascinating exploratory conversation with Madeline Miller\, bestselling author of The Song of Achilles and Circe\, as she chats with us about her body of work and her process in retelling Greek classics into modern epics in fiction. \n\nIn The Song of Achilles\, Achilles\, “the best of all the Greeks\,” son of the cruel sea goddess Thetis and the legendary king Peleus\, is strong\, swift\, and beautiful\, irresistible to all who meet him. Patroclus is an awkward young prince\, exiled from his homeland after an act of shocking violence. Brought together by chance\, they forge an inseparable bond\, despite risking the gods’ wrath. \nWhen word comes that Helen of Sparta has been kidnapped\, all the heroes of Greece are called upon to lay siege to Troy in her name. Seduced by the promise of a glorious destiny\, Achilles joins their cause\, and torn between love and fear for his friend\, Patroclus follows. Little do they know that the cruel Fates will test them both as never before and demand a terrible sacrifice. \nIn Circe\, to Helios\, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans\, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child–neither powerful like her father nor viciously alluring like her mother. Turning to the world of mortals for companionship\, she discovers that she does possess power: the power of witchcraft\, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace the gods themselves. \nThreatened\, Zeus banishes her to a deserted island\, where she hones her occult craft\, tames wild beasts\, and crosses paths with many of the most famous figures in all of mythology\, including the Minotaur\, Daedalus and his doomed son Icarus\, the murderous Medea\, and\, of course\, wily Odysseus. But there is danger\, too\, for a woman who stands alone\, and Circe unwittingly draws the wrath of both men and gods\, ultimately finding herself pitted against one of the most terrifying and vengeful of the Olympians. To protect what she loves most\, Circe must summon all her strength and choose\, once and for all\, whether she belongs with the gods she is born from or with the mortals she has come to love. \nAbout the Author: Madeline Miller is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of two novels: The Song of Achilles\, which won the Orange Women’s Prize for Fiction 2012\, and Circe\, which was short-listed for the Women’s Prize for Fiction 2019. Her books have been translated into over thirty two languages. Miller holds an MA in Classics from Brown University\, studied in the Dramaturgy department at Yale School of Drama\, where she focused on the adaptation of classical texts to modern forms\, and taught Latin\, Greek\, and Shakespeare to high school students for over a decade. \n\nRegister at https://libraryc.org/lima/41375

SUMMARY:Online Author Talk: A Literary Examination of Power\, Love\, and Art with Xochitl Gonzalez
DESCRIPTION:Register here: https://libraryc.org/lima/45121 \nWe cannot wait for you to join us as we chat with award-winning and bestselling author Xochitl Gonzalez about her newest novel Anita de Monte Laughs Last.  \nAnita de Monte Laughs Last is a propulsive\, witty examination of power\, love\, and art\, daring to ask who gets to be remembered and who is left behind in the rarefied world of the elite. In 1985. Anita de Monte\, a rising star in the art world\, is found dead in New York City; her tragic death is the talk of the town. Until it isn’t. By 1998 Anita’s name had been all but forgotten―certainly by the time Raquel\, a third-year art history student was preparing her final thesis. On College Hill\, surrounded by privileged students whose futures are already paved out for them\, Raquel feels like an outsider. Students of color\, like her\, are the minority there\, and the pressure to work twice as hard for the same opportunities is no secret. But when Raquel becomes romantically involved with a well-connected older art student\, she finds herself unexpectedly rising up the social ranks. As she attempts to straddle both worlds\, she stumbles upon Anita’s story\, raising questions about the dynamics of her own relationship\, which eerily mirrors that of the forgotten artist. \nMoving back and forth through time and told from the perspectives of both Anita and Raquel\, this is sure a novel (and a conversation) that you don’t want to miss.

This book reveals the hidden history of Rudolf Diesel\, one of the world’s greatest inventors\, and his mysterious disappearance on the eve of World War I. \nSeptember 29\, 1913: the steamship Dresden is halfway between Belgium and England. On board is one of the most famous men in the world\, Rudolf Diesel\, whose new internal combustion engine is on the verge of revolutionizing global industry forever. But Diesel never arrives at his destination. He vanishes during the night and headlines around the world wonder if it was an accident\, suicide\, or murder. \nAfter rising from an impoverished European childhood\, Diesel had become a multi-millionaire with his powerful engine that does not require expensive petroleum-based fuel.

SUMMARY:Online Author Talk: A Murder Mystery\, Family Story\, & Love Letter to Strong Women Everywhere: Author Talk w/ Nina Simon
DESCRIPTION:Register here: https://libraryc.org/lima/46855 \nNothing brings a family together like a murder next door. \nYou’re invited to join Nina Simon online as chats about her lighthearted whodunnit about a grandmother-mother-daughter trio of amateur sleuths\, Mother-Daughter Murder Night. \nMother-Daughter Murder Night follows high-powered business woman Lana Rubicon. She has a lot to be proud of with her keen intelligence\, impeccable taste\, and the L.A. real estate empire she’s built. But when she finds herself trapped 300 miles north of the city\, convalescing in a sleepy coastal town with her adult daughter Beth and teenage granddaughter Jack\, Lana is stuck counting otters instead of square footage—and hoping that boredom won’t kill her before the cancer does. \nIn a turn of events\, when Jack happens upon a dead body while kayaking she quickly becomes a suspect in the homicide investigation\, and the Rubicon women are thrown into chaos. Beth thinks Lana should focus on recovery\, but Lana has a better idea. She’ll pull on her wig\, find the true murderer\, protect her family\, and prove she still has power. With Jack and Beth’s help\, Lana uncovers a web of lies\, family vendettas\, and land disputes lurking beneath the surface of a community populated by folksy conservationists and wealthy ranchers. But as their amateur snooping advances into ever-more dangerous territory\, the headstrong Rubicon women must learn to do the one thing they’ve always resisted: depend on each other. \nHarness your inner detective and sign up for the investigation. Register now! \nAbout the Author: Nina Simon writes crime fiction about strong women. She is the New York Times-bestselling debut author of Mother-Daughter Murder Night.
