JAKE PAGE
Tuesday, April 1, 7:30 p.m.
Weaving together the most recent work of historians and anthropologists, In
the Hands of the Great Spirit (Free Press, $30.00) provides an overview of the
events that have shaped Native American history—from the earliest evidence of
humans on this continent to the influence of Indian culture on modern
American society. With the first major history of American Indians in decades, JAKE PAGE
provides an unbiased look at peoples both modern and ancient.
BARRY SCHIEBER & MORITZ
Wednesday, April 2, 7:30 p.m.
BARRY SCHIEBER had never thought of living with a dog at all—let alone one
that would soon tip the scales at over a hundred pounds. And yet, recovering
from emergency surgery far from home, he found himself buying a Bernese
Mountian Dog puppy to bring back to Montana. Wherever they go, MORITZ
draws people to him, and in the memoir Nose to Nose (Silent Moon, $16.95), we come to
appreciate how a seemingly simple interaction with Moritz leads to healing.
RUTH OZEKI
Thursday, April 3, 7:30 p.m.
In All Over Creation (Viking, $24.95), her highly anticipated follow-up to My
Year of Meats, RUTH OZEKI tells with trademark wit the story of Yumi Fuller,
returning home to the Idaho potato farm she ran away from twenty-five years
earlier. Then a freewheeling hippie, Yumi is now a (semi) responsible parent
and professor, faced with her aging parents, the best friend she left behind, and an ex-lover
who finds himself back in a small, resentful town.
MARILYN RAFF
Monday, April 7, 7:30 p.m.
By tracing the evolution of her own garden, Denver author MARILYN RAFF
demonstrates how an intuitive approach can help gardeners achieve a
personalized and distinctive result. Refreshingly exuberant and uninhibited,
The Intuitive Gardener (Fulcrum, $24.95) inspires both beginning and
experienced gardeners to develop a broad tapestry of textures and colors that
lend interest throughout the year, ideal for the often-challenging Colorado climate.
JOHN GIERACH
Tuesday, April 8, 7:30 p.m.
At the Grave of the Unknown Fisherman (Simon & Schuster, $23.00) is a
journey through the year with America’s finest fishing writer, local author
JOHN GIERACH. Brilliantly capturing human nature and musing on the
vagaries of the fishing life, Gierach takes readers with him from his early spring
forays to the end of the season in his beloved Rocky Mountains, when the
snows begin to pile up and getting to the river is all but impossible.
JONATHAN SAFRAN FOER
Wednesday, April 9, 7:30 p.m.
With only an old photograph in hand, the young protagonist of Everything is
Illuminated (HarperPerennial, $13.95)—also named JONATHAN SAFRAN
FOER—sets out to find the woman who may have saved his grandfather from
the Nazis. Alongside an old man, an amorous dog, and a Ukrainian translator
who speaks sublimely butchered English, Jonathan is led on a quixotic journey
over a devastated landscape and into an unexpected past.
Dr. LEONARD SHLAIN
Thursday, April 10, 7:30 p.m.
The author of two critically acclaimed, award-winning books, Dr. LEONARD
SHLAIN will speak on his provocative research. The Alphabet Versus the
Goddess (Arkana, $17.00) argues that the rise of alphabetic literacy profoundly
reconfigured the human brain and brought about sweeping changes in history,
religion, and gender relations. Equally captivating, Art and Physics (Quill,
$15.00) explores the parallel evolution of Western art and science.
CHRIS “MOZZ” MOSDELL
Friday, April 11, 1:00 p.m.
“O let’s go where no one’s been before, far down the road to Nowhere,
through the jungles of the Jungle Gym (watch out for the giant slimy slugs and
chewing gum mud) to a world of elephant birds and singing sofas, supersonic
fried eggs and turtles on towering legs….” The Pearls of Wisdumb (Goofy
Guru, $17.95) is a charming, Silverstein-esque romp written and illustrated for children of all
ages by award-winning Boulder poet MOZZ.
ROBERT FULLER
Monday, April 14, 7:30 p.m.
Rank-based abuse is as old as time, and can be seen everywhere; sexual abuse
by clergy, elder abuse in nursing homes, and self-serving behavior by corrupt
CEOs and executives are only a few examples. In Somebodies and Nobodies
(New Society, $23.95), ROBERT FULLER describes the basis of rank-based
abuse, and explains how abuses of rank can be curtailed if they are identified wherever they
occur, and if we commit to the sanctity of human dignity.
STEPHEN CHERNISKE
Tuesday, April 15, 7:30 p.m.
As local author STEPHEN CHERNISKE, M.S., explains, a simple adjustment
in your metabolism can profoundly alter your energy level, your body’s ability
to fight disease, even the intensity of your sexual desire and fulfillment. At
once revolutionary and eminently practical, The Metabolic Plan (Ballantine,
$25.95) features a comprehensive diet and exercise plan tailored to boost the body’s own
powers of renewal and self-repair.

Revealing the subtle wonders of the high country landscape, Song of the Alpine
(Johnson, $22.50) takes readers on a season-by-season tour of the alpine tundra.
Faced with bitter cold and scouring winds, the plants and animals that populate
this environment have evolved remarkable survival strategies; local author
JOYCE GELLHORN describes the astonishing intricacies of these strategies, and celebrates her
life-long love for the “land above the trees”.
TYLER FLORENCE
Thursday, April 17, 7:30 p.m.
With a love of cooking rooted in his parents’ South Carolina kitchen and refined
in New York’s trendiest eateries, TYLER FLORENCE of the Food Network’s
Food 911 has strong ideas about real food: it’s full-flavored, but not overthought;
good enough for company, but doesn’t require a special occasion. Tyler
Florence’s Real Kitchen (Clarkson N. Potter, $32.50) gathers his favorite recipes for a variety of
occasions, from crowd-pleasing brunches to dinners for two.
JERRY WENNSTROM
Monday, April 21, 7:30 p.m.
In the late 1970s, JERRY WENNSTROM was a rising star in the New York art
world. When he realized he was becoming too attached to his identity as an
artist, he decided that the ultimate creative leap was to destroy his large body of
work and give away all of his possessions. The Inspired Heart (Sentient, $18.95)
tells the extraordinary story of his daring exploration into the source of his creativity, and his
eventual return to art.
Dr. PETER D’ADAMO
Tuesday, April 22, 7:30 p.m.
A naturopathic physician and the author of Eat Right 4 Your Type, Dr. PETER
D’ADAMO—well known for his research into the connections among blood
type, health, and disease—now turns his insights to overcoming obstacles to
having a healthy pregnancy. Eat Right 4 Your Baby (Putnam, $24.95) provides
individualized, blood-type specific guidance for male and female fertility and maximum health
during pregnancy, nursing, and your baby’s first year.
AMY TAYLOR ALPERS & RACHEL TAYLOR SEGEL
Wednesday, April 23, 7:30 p.m.

TAYLOR SEGEL, founders of The Pilates Center in Boulder, to educate
the world about the authentic practice of this form of body
strengthening. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert practitioner,
The Everything Pilates Book (Adams Media, $14.95) brings together all you need to start doing
Pilates in your own home, expand your repertoire, or choose a studio that’s right for you.
GRAYDON HUBBARD
Thursday, April 24, 7:30 p.m.
Suffering with anorexia, Jenny Hendricks painstakingly recorded her long
journey through a “wasteland” of failed treatments and therapies, false hope,
and abuse by the mental health system that kept her captive most of her life.
Published posthumously and edited by her father GRAYDON HUBBARD, Slim
to None (McGraw-Hill, $19.95) discloses the innermost thoughts, fears, and hopes of a young
girl stricken and fighting to recover.

writings on the topic. For more information on this event, e-mail [email protected].
RAPHAEL CUSHNIR
Monday, April 28, 7:30 p.m.
RAPHAEL CUSHNIR contends that liberation comes from living in accord with
love. Setting Your Heart on Fire (Broadway, $21.95) offers a life-encompassing
technique that promises to spark that blaze and free readers from negativity by
calling forth their best attitude. Cushnir draws compassion and inspiration from
his own recovery following a painful divorce, and emphasizes patience and practice in teaching
his seven “invitations” to freedom.
JILL BARON
Tuesday, April 29, 7:30 p.m.
The Rocky Mountain West is largely arid and steep, with ecological scars from
past human use visible for hundreds of years. Just how damaging were the last
150 years of activity? Rocky Mountain Futures (Island, $32.50), edited by
Colorado ecologist JILL S. BARON, presents a comprehensive and wide-ranging
examination of the ecological consequences of past, present, and future human activities in the
Rocky Mountain region.
JAN GOLDSTEIN
Wednesday, April 30, 7:30 p.m.
In Sacred Wounds (Regan, $24.95), Rabbi JAN GOLDSTEIN teaches readers
how to take the most painful moments in their lives, see them for what they are,
and transform them into a source of power. Contrary to the popular belief that
we succeed despite our wounds—that personal tribulations must be overcome—
the author of Life Can be This Good shows that if we can integrate our pain into who we are, we
can succeed because of our wounds.

JONATHAN SAFRAN FOER
to speak & sign
EVERYTHING IS ILLUMINATED
Wednesday, April 9, 7:30 p.m.
With only a yellowing photograph in hand, a young man—also named JONATHAN SAFRAN
FOER—sets out to find the woman who may or may not have saved his grandfather from the Nazis
in this bestselling and critically acclaimed novel. Accompanied by his Ukrainian translator Alex—
who narrates much of the novel in his hilariously flawed, yet oddly accurate English—Alex’s
depressive grandfather, and a flatulent mongrel, Jonathan journeys through a devastated Eastern
Europe; lit by passion, guilt, memory, and hope, the characters search for people and places that no
longer exist. Exuberant and wise, Everything is Illuminated (HarperPerennial, $13.95) is an
astonishing debut, now available in paperback.
