SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talks: On a Mission: The History of US Women Astronauts with Smithsonian Curator Emerita Valerie Neal
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE REGISTER HERE: https://libraryc.org/whitinglibrary/145583/register  \nWATCH RECORDING AFTER EVENT HERE: https://libraryc.org/whitinglibrary/archive \n  \nJoin us online April 2nd at 2 PM for an exhilarating journey through the history of US women astronauts with Valerie Neal\, emerita curator from the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum and expert on human spaceflight. \nSally Ride became a household name as the first American woman in space\, but scores of equally impressive women have also left their mark in space. On a Mission: The Smithsonian History of US Women Astronauts spans 45 years and 61 astronauts to share the epic journeys of women who made space for themselves in a male-dominated field. \nValerie Neal interviewed many of the US women astronauts to bring their experiences to life. She offers a culturally insightful history of their achievements\, the challenges they’ve faced\, and their distinctive stories. Collectively\, they’ve completed more than 100 space shuttle missions\, and more than 30 long-duration stays on the International Space Station and Russian Space Station Mir\, and they continue to prove themselves in present-day space exploration efforts. \nThe book includes 50 black-and-white photographs to complement the historical account. With its sweeping look from the first women astronauts to Christina Hammock Koch\, assigned to the first crewed Artemis mission around the Moon\, there is no comparably thorough book on America’s women astronauts. On a Mission is an inspiring tribute to unsung women’s history. \nRegister now to take part in this inspirational discussion! \nAbout the Author: Valerie Neal is a space historian and Curator Emerita at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC. Her specialty is human spaceflight\, space technology\, and space science in the Space Shuttle era and beyond. At the Museum\, she collected more than 1500 artifacts of the shuttle era\, curated three exhibitions and eight documentary programs for the Smithsonian Channel (cable TV)\, published books and articles growing from her research\, lectured in the USA and abroad\, and gave many interviews for US and international media. \nBefore joining the Museum\, she was a writer and editor for some 25 NASA publications on Space Shuttle and Spacelab missions\, the Hubble Space Telescope and other Great Observatories\, space science\, and NASA History. She participated in underwater astronaut training in Alabama and mission support in Houston for four Space Shuttle missions. She has taught American Studies and writing courses at multiple universities. Valerie Neal holds Ph.D. and M.A. degrees in American Studies and a B.A. degree in English and History. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Vermont Women and the Civil War
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at Chester Town Hall on Saturday\, April 11th from 2-3:30 PM for a presentation by Vermonter Howard Coffin on the exceptional women of Vermont who kept the state going during the Civil War. \n“Vermont women enlisted for the duration.” So said a Vermont historian assessing the war years 1861-1865. Vermont’s remarkable Civil War battlefield record is well documented\, but little is known of how Vermont women sustained the home front. Historian Howard Coffin explains\, with nearly 35\,000 of the state’s able-bodied men at war\, how women took on farming\, worked in factories\, served as nurses in the state’s military hospitals\, and more. And at least one Vermont woman appears to have secretly enlisted and fought in a Vermont regiment! \nDrawing from letters and diaries\, Coffin tells their story in their own words\, describe life during the Civil War in the Green Mountain State. \nThis event is sponsored in part through Vermont Humanities and held in partnership with the Chester Historical Society.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talks: On Writing Action-Packed and Suspenseful Spycraft with Brad Taylor
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER FOR LIVE EVENT HERE: https://libraryc.org/whitinglibrary/146207/register \nWATCH RECORDING AFTER EVENT HERE: https://libraryc.org/whitinglibrary/archive \n  \nJoin us online April 14th at 7 PM for a conversation with acclaimed author Brad Taylor on his latest work\, Shadow Strike\, book 20 (yes\, you read that right!) of the bestselling Pike Logan series. \nAfter its proxies are devastated and its offensive capability pummeled in the latest war in the Middle East\, a rogue group of Iranian regime officials create a brazen plot to strike back at their hated enemies once and for all. They envision a series of operational dominos culminating in a devastating attack\, and the first step is the assassination of the Israeli prime minister.  And there’s only one assassin with the skills to pull it off: Abdul Rahman\, known in the shadows as the Ghost. \nWhen a routine prison transfer is ambushed\, the Ghost escapes and is given the assignment. The only Operator who can hunt him down is the man who stopped him before: Pike Logan. \nPike and his team soon learn that the mission involves something bigger than just the escape of his old enemy. Working with Mossad agents\, the pursuit leads the Taskforce to Argentina. They work to unravel the scope of the attack\, and the chase leads them through the tempestuous waterfalls of Iguazu and the Triple Frontier\, to the vibrant streets of Buenos Aires\, and the tiny village of Ushuaia at the “End of the World.” \nAs the team races against the clock\, Pike learns the stakes are much greater than a single life – the consequences extend into the heartland of America itself. The Ghost may hold the key to an escalation that will upend the worldwide balance of power\, and if Pike fails\, the fallout won’t just be personal – it’ll be global. \nRegister today to learn why the Pike Logan series has everyone buzzing! \nAbout the Author: Brad Taylor is the author of the New York Times bestselling Pike Logan series. He served for more than twenty years in the U.S. Army\, including eight years in 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta\, commonly known as Delta Force. He retired as a Special Forces lieutenant colonel and now lives in Charleston\, South Carolina.
