5TH ANNUAL GAITHERSBURG BOOK FESTIVAL May 17, 2014 gaithersburgbookfestival.org1 MAYOR’S WELCOME Welcome to the 5th Annual Gaithersburg Book Festival, an event that is putting Gaithersburg on the map as a center for literary excellence. We extend a very sincere “thank you” to all of the sponsors, authors, exhibitors, staff, and tireless volunteers who have worked diligently over the past year to create this meaningful and enjoyable event. And we want to thank you for supporting the festival as well. Your active in- volvement reaffirms our commitment to bringing engaging and enriching cultural activities to the people of this community. In addition to the Book Festival, Gaithersburg is home to many wonder- ful diversions. Throughout the year you can enjoy sports programs, parades, theatrical performances, concerts, and so much more. Dis- cover Gaithersburg outdoors, with one of the area’s most popular Water Parks, a beautifully landscaped Miniature Golf Course, a free Skate Park, and more than 520 acres of active and passive parkland awaiting exploration. With so much to do and see, it’s no surprise that Gaithersburg consistently ranks in the top tier of Best Places to Live in the United States, according to numerous national publications. After the festival, we invite you to stay and enjoy the wonderful shops and restaurants located through- out our City. And please do come back throughout the year to experience all that Gaithersburg has to offer. Sincerely, Sidney A. Katz Mayor FOUNDER’S MESSAGE Welcome to the 5th annual Gaithersburg Book Festival! The goal of this Festival, today and every day, is to celebrate the writ- ten word and its power to enrich the human experience. And what better way to do that than to host some of the world’s best authors, journalists, poets, and educators as they discuss their work, the great issues of our time – and of our past, and the business and craft of writing! This is a day to interact with some of the best writers in the business; award winners, best-sellers, and some excellent up-and-comers. Enjoy the ones you know, and discover new ones. Consider issues and events, stories and characters from the perspective of the writer. You’ll find it stimulating, I guarantee. This is also a day to relax and enjoy. Browse books at the Politics & Prose tent, bring the kids over to the Children’s Village, and stroll the grounds to meet our exhibitors and event sponsors. On behalf of the superb committee of volunteers who put this event together, our great City staff, and my colleagues on the Gaithersburg City Council: welcome, and have a wonderful Festival day!

    What If Granny Wants to Gamble? Balancing Autonomy and Vulnerability in the Golden Years

    \\jciprod01\productn\A\ACT\45-3\ACT302.txt unknown Seq: 1 22-MAY-20 15:48 What If Granny Wants to Gamble? Balancing Autonomy and Vulnerability in the Golden Years Mary F. Radford* I. INTRODUCTION When I am an old woman I shall wear purple With a red hat which doesn’t go, and doesn’t suit me. And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves And satin sandals, and say we’ve no money for butter.1 In the late 1990s, the words of this poem inspired a global social organization known as the “Red Hat Society.” Women in the Red Hat Society “victoriously celebrate turning 50 and entering into the next phase of their lives.”2 Their signature outfit consists of a purple ensem- ble and a red hat (that doesn’t match). The women in this Society “em- brac[e] a renewed outlook on life filled with fun and friendship, fulfilling lifelong dreams.”3 The poet, Jenny Joseph, in dressing her “old woman” in the rich but mismatched palette of red and purple, highlights accurately the conflict- ing perceptions that our society holds today about older women in America. * Mary F. Radford is the Marjorie Fine Knowles Professor of Fiduciary Law at the Georgia State University College of Law in Atlanta, Georgia. She received her B.A. degree from Sophie Newcomb College of Tulane University in 1974 and her J.D. degree from Emory School of Law in 1981. She is an ACTEC Academic Fellow and served as the President of ACTEC in 2011-12.

    www.andotherstories.org Acre by Lucrecia Zappi is one of the novels featured in the autumn 2018 Portuguese reading group run by And Other Stories https://www.andotherstories.org/reading-groups/portuguese-reading-group-2018/ Acre Lucrecia Zappi Extract (chapters 1,2 and 6) translated by Lisa Shaw 1 I only thought about the new varnished floor when I came home. I wasn’t in a bad mood, but how could it be that before going out it hadn’t dawned on either me or Marcela, none of the inhabitants of this flat, that the sun would be very strong today – stronger than it was yesterday, but not as strong as tomorrow – and would make the varnish sizzle, even in the dark? I crouched down to touch the damage, and thought about the guy who had spent the weekend kneeling on the floor of our living room, chatting on his mobile phone, us buying him something to eat, him getting on our nerves, all of that just for me to end up stuck here, yet again regretting not having paid attention, while the sun had already gone down and risen again five hundred times. For a moment, I took in the light of the night sky that spread across the room and I closed the curtain. When I turned my back to the window I noticed a silhouette in the half-light: it was Marcela sitting on a worktop in the open-plan kitchen, as she liked to call that door-less space. I thought about beginning by asking her why she had not closed the curtain.

    Digital Resources for Teaching the Environment, Sustainability, and Ecology in World History

    JOHN MAUNU Digital Resources for Teaching the Environment, Sustainability, and Ecology in World History ncient cave art showed that humans did not regard themselves as the center of the Anatural world. Lascaux cave art showed how animals and the environment were the center of human life. The Neolithic Revolution saw a change over time as to the relationship between humans and the environment. Early Vedic shamans wrote poems on the power of forests and nature; Taoists and the Buddha shared a deep respect for the environment and nature. However, with the Neolithic Revolution, humans began moving from the Lascaux perspective of humans in a secondary role in the environment to viewing nature and the environment as real estate, “territory,” and property to be dominated and exploited; since then most historians wrote about the environment from this human-centered perspective. However, by the mid twentieth century, there evolved among many environmentalists in the United States a model for understanding global environmental history in terms of the interaction between humankind and the environment, which was soon adopted by most world historians. The following digital resources reflect these shifts—these “changes over time”—in the historiography of the global environmental history. This database is divided into sec- tions: Environmental Racism/Justice, Ecofeminism; Queer Ecology; Far Right Environ- mentalism; Global Sustainability and Environment Resources; Teaching Sustainability and Environmental History, with a sub-heading, Teaching the Environment and Collapse of Civilization Resources; Eco-Fiction/Climate Fiction; Environment/Nature in Art and Architecture; Religion and Environment; Digital Resources arranged by global regions, such as the Artic, with sources arranged within regions chronologically using common world historian periodization; and, finally, Environment Journals/Websites.
