SUMMARY:The Deserts of California\, a California Field Atlas
DESCRIPTION:With climate breakdown heating up and desertification looming over the horizon\, Obi Kaufmann leads curious adventurers on a voyage into the sage-and-ocher landscapes of the American West’s world-famous desert regions this fall in his revelatory and sumptuously illustrated new volume The Deserts of California: A California Field Atlas. As philosophical as it is geophysical\, this journey blends science and art in Kaufmann’s signature style to throw into relief ecological insights greater than either might yield alone. Through expressionistic mapmaking\, wildlife renderings\, and geographic conservation guides\, Kaufmann explores the marvels of and threats to these resilient yet sensitive ecosystems. \n“The Deserts of California presumes that hope\, like healing\, relies on time\,” writes Kaufmann. “If there is time\, there is hope. Although every desert habitat type is threatened\, very little of it is yet extinct. Despite the complexity of the threat\, everywhere there is precedent for resurgence.” \nOf a piece with his best-selling books The Forests of California (2020) and The Coasts of California (2022)\, The Deserts of California (October 2023) rounds out Kaufmann’s expansive California Lands Trilogy. Individually and collectively\, these volumes set out to transform entrenched colonialist attitudes toward the American West\, and transform our concept of nature from a resource for extraction to a shared and cherished inheritance. \nAn in-person and virtual presentation by Obi Kaufmann\, author\, illustrator\, and naturalist

SUMMARY:From Gutenberg to the Gallery: Five Decades of Print and Book Art
DESCRIPTION:with Harry Reese\nJoin us for an engaging lecture by Harry Reese\, the 2023 Lieberman Lecturer.\nIn The Gutenberg Galaxy (1962)\, Marshall McLuhan argued that significant changes in technology would generate massive cultural transformations that will permanently alter the form and function of the book. Fundamentals of bookmaking have not changed much since the contributions of Gutenberg\, but the cultural environments in which they have been grounded\, expanded\, and received certainly have. Effects of the electronic environment\, among other things\, allowed the book form to upgrade its status as a work of art\, and ushered in the era that we now recognize as “book arts.” Opportunities accompanying technological innovations continually provide unanticipated pathways for the book arts community to learn and flourish within our print-based media ecology. \nJoin us for an evening with Harry Reese\, this year’s Lieberman lecturer\, as he recounts his years as a graduate student at Brown University when he started the literary small press\, Turkey Press\, in partnership with his wife Sandra Liddell Reese. Their work has embraced patterns of personal discovery and dedicated workmanship that led to making\, exhibiting\, and teaching – all within the relatively new context of the book considered as a contemporary work of art. This lecture will illustrate\, through the sharing of works under the Turkey Press and Edition Reese imprints\, that as the humanities have become more visual\, the contemporary artist book demands much more attention\, conversation\, and understanding than ever before from its makers\, readers\, curators\, and collectors. \nThe annual Lieberman Lecture commemorates J. Ben Lieberman (1914–1984)\, founder and first president of the American Printing History Association. The lecture is a moveable feast\, given at a different institution each year\, by a figure distinguished in the history of printing or the book arts.

SUMMARY:Editors Helping Editors
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our “Editors Helping Editors” meeting. Bring your problems\, big and small\, as well as your thinking caps. We’ll work together to solve event-goers quandaries and questions\, which could range from common questions like how to find clients in a particular field (say academic editing) to more situation-specific issues like why a particular macro isn’t working in Word. The only topic that’s off limits is setting rates\, as that can be seen as price-fixing. However\, we can talk about rate-adjacent topics\, such as tools and data we use when setting rates\, what counts as a tax write-off\, and how/when to raise rates. \nThis event is now open to all editors and will not be recorded.

SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture: I. B. Singer's 'Writings on Yiddish & Yiddishkayt'
DESCRIPTION:Scholars David Stromberg and Aaron Lansky will discuss a new book\, Isaac Bashevis Singer’s Writings on Yiddish and Yiddishkayt\, The War Years\, 1939-1945 (White Goat Press). November 11 would have been the 120th birthday of the late Nobel Prize winner Isaac Bashevis Singer. This collection\, edited and translated by David Stromberg\, editor of the Singer Literary Trust\, is the first in a three-volume series. It features 25 essays that Singer\, then relatively unknown\, originally published under pseudonyms in the Forverts\, the world’s oldest Yiddish newspaper. The book’s chronological arrangement reveals shifts in Singer’s perspective as history unfolded. He was driven to write in an urgent tone as a whole world\, a way of life\, a cultural treasure bound up with Yiddish and Yiddishkayt\, were all going up in flames. For this event\, some of Singer’s original Yiddish works from the Yiddish Book Center’s collection will be on display along with an important artifact of Singer’s earliest work. \nDavid Stromberg\, the Jerusalem-based editor of the Isaac Bashevis Singer Literary Trust\, has written books including Narrative Faith: Dostoevsky\, Camus\, and Singer (University of Delaware Press) and Idiot Love and the Elements of Intimacy (Palgrave Macmillan)\, and he edited a collection of Singer’s essays\, Old Truths and New Clichés (Princeton University Press) and a children’s story collection\, In the Land of Happy Tears: Yiddish Tales for Modern Times (Delacorte). He has contributed fiction\, journalism\, personal essays\, scholarly research\, and translations of Singer’s work to The New Yorker\, Los Angeles Review of Books\, American Scholar\, and American Journal of Psychoanalysis\, among other outlets. He will be in conversation with Aaron Lansky\, founder and president of the Yiddish Book Center in Amherst\, Mass.\, a nonprofit organization working to recover\, celebrate\, and regenerate Yiddish and modern Jewish literature and culture. White Goat Press\, the Center’s imprint\, publishes newly translated work in all genres of fiction and nonfiction. The Center grew out of Lansky’s discovery in the late 1970s of vast numbers of Yiddish books being discarded by younger Jews who could not read their ancestors’ language. Since his first public appeal for unwanted Yiddish books in 1980\, when scholars believed just 70\,000 volumes were extant and recoverable\, more than a million volumes have been gathered at the Center. Lansky has earned degrees from Hampshire College\, McGill University\, Amherst College\, the State University of New York\, and Hebrew Union College; received a so-called “genius grant” from the MacArthur Foundation in 1989; and wrote a bestseller in 2005\, Outwitting History: The Amazing Adventures of a Man Who Rescued a Million Yiddish Books.
