SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: Hidden World of Tropical Bats
DESCRIPTION:Join us in kicking off October as we welcome three Smithsonian-affiliated scientists to teach us about the remarkable world of tropical bats! \nFor decades\, scientists at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute have studied the remarkable biodiversity of bats on Barro Colorado Island in Panama\, where an astonishing seventy-six species coexist. Now\, for the first time\, Smithsonian scientists’ expertise pairs with the stunning photography of National Geographic contributor Christian Ziegler for a captivating visual journey into the fascinating world of these elusive night creatures\, to bring you the book Bat Island: A Rare Journey into the Hidden World of Tropical Bats. \nBats are unique among mammals: they have acquired true flight\, they provide essential ecosystem services\, and represent the ecologically most diverse group of mammals worldwide. Synthesizing decades-worth of intensive study\, Drs. Rachel Page\, Dina Dechmann\, Teague O’Mara\, and Marco Tschapka provide authoritative insight alongside 150 photographs that showcase bats’ extraordinary environmental adaptations and rich natural history. \nThis presentation will cover topics from the book\, such as the diverse sensory abilities of bats\, their foraging strategies\, roosting ecologies\, and social systems. Bat Island presents decades of study of the hyper diverse bat population on Barro Colorado Island in addition to the most comprehensive and long-term datasets on tropical bats. The book and this presentation highlights how bats are threatened by habitat fragmentation and land degradation\, and communicate the initiatives needed to ensure the survival of these animals\, which are critical to maintaining healthy\, balanced ecosystems. \nAnd let’s not forget\, the award-winning photojournalist Christian Ziegler’s photography as the images within the book illuminate the unique beauty and allure of bats and the tropical rainforest in Panama. Register now for this rare look into Bat Island! \nRegister Now: https://libraryc.org/tiltonlibrary/57646\nUnable to attend on that date?

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: Lori Gottlieb
DESCRIPTION:Every year\, nearly 30 million Americans sit on a therapist’s couch—and some of these patients are therapists. In her remarkable book Maybe You Should Talk to Someone\, Lori Gottlieb tells us that despite her license and rigorous training\, her most significant credential is that she’s a card-carrying member of the human race. “I know what it’s like to be a person\,” she writes\, as a crisis causes her world to come crashing down. \nEnter Wendell\, the quirky but seasoned therapist in whose office she suddenly lands. With his balding head\, cardigan\, and khakis\, he seems to have come straight from Therapist Central Casting. Yet he will turn out to be anything but. In her book\, Lori explores the inner chambers of her patients’ lives—a self-absorbed Hollywood producer\, a young newlywed diagnosed with a terminal illness\, a senior citizen threatening to end her life on her birthday if nothing gets better\, and a twenty-something who can’t stop hooking up with the wrong guys (even one from the waiting room)—she finds that the questions they are struggling with are the very ones she is now bringing to Wendell. \nWith startling wisdom and humor\, Gottlieb reveals our blind spots\, examining the truths and fictions we tell ourselves and others as we teeter on the tightrope between love and desire\, meaning and mortality\, guilt and redemption\, terror and courage\, hope and change. \nMaybe You Should Talk to Someone is revolutionary in its candor\, offering a deeply personal yet universal tour of our hearts and minds and providing the rarest of gifts: a boldly revealing portrait of what it means to be human\, and a disarmingly funny and illuminating account of our own mysterious lives and our power to transform them. \nWe invite you to join us as Gottlieb shares her wisdom on examining the truths and fictions we tell ourselves to help us breakthrough what is holding us back and getting in the way of living the life we desire. Register now to start your journey! \nAbout the Author: Lori Gottlieb is a psychotherapist and New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone\, which has sold over two million copies and is currently being adapted as a television series starring Kristen Bell. In addition to her clinical practice\, she co-hosts the popular “Dear Therapists” podcast produced by Katie Couric and writes The Atlantic’s “Dear Therapist” advice column.
