PAULA URUBURU

Hofstra University Professor PAULA URUBURU will be speaking about and signing her new book American Eve: Evelyn Nesbit, Stanford White, and the Crime of the Century.


Evelyn Nesbit-the "It Girl", the original "Gibson Girl," and "the Girl in the Red Velvet Swing,"-was America's first sex symbol. The most photographed woman of the 1900s, her meteoric rise to fame and catastrophic fall from grace as a result of the "crime of the century" captivated a nation and ushered in the modern era of publicity.

Paula Uruburu sets the record straight about Evelyn's storied life: her relationship with renowned New York City architect Stanford White and the landmark court trial of her husband, Harry K. Thaw, for White's murder. Uruburu places Nesbit in her historical context at the end of the Victorian Era and the beginning of the Gilded Age, when America's obsession with money and celebrity were on the rise.

Oakland University Engineering professor BARBARA OAKLEY will be speaking about and signing her new book Evil Genes: Why Rome Fell, Hitler Rose, Enron Failed and My Sister Stole My Mother's Boyfriend.

Prompted by clues in her sister's diary after her mysterious death, Barbara Oakley sets out to explore the minds of the kind of malevolent people we all know, perhaps too well, but could never understand.

Using psychology as a frame of reference, Oakley uses cutting-edge images of the working brain to assert that some deceitful, manipulative, and sadistic behavior may be programmed by "evil genes" which, despite their sinister expression, in fact carry unexpected fringe benefits. The dramatic scientific findings in Evil Genes shed light not only on dictators, but on politics at home, business, religion, and everyday life.

Lost both in the memory of his former life with an abusive father and the challenges of a new world filled with heckling teammates, opponents and fans, there's no way Mickey can succeed. But his inimitable talent -- one of the most gifted arms in the history of baseball -- gives him a chance. This is the powerful underdog story of how a young man with an extraordinary gift comes of age in a harsh and competitive world.
