Title of Event: Michael Meyer
When: Tuesday, July 8, 2008 7:30 PM
Location: Readers' Books
Description: In Last Days of Old Beijing, we look out at Beijing from its oldest neighborhood, Dazhalan, where Michael Meyer lived in a shared courtyard home. He volunteered to teach English at the local grade school and became part of the community. It is a diverse and unique group, trying to hold its own against relentless modernization. Meyer chronicles forced evictions as old houses and ways of life are destroyed to make way for shopping malls, Wal-Mart, high-rise buildings, and cars instead of bicycles. Beijing has been through emperors, warlords, Japanese invaders, and Communist planners, but nothing as destructive as the market economy. Meyer captures both the past and present of Beijing as it prepares to host the 2008 Olympics.

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life
by Kingsolver, Barbara, Kingsolver, Camille
“Tracing the food year, Kingsolver—with her characteristic candor, poetry, and grace—brings us meditations on asparagus, turkeys, tomatoes, and mulch as she and her family try to eat locally as much as they can. This is a distinct hybrid of The Omnivore’s Dilemma, Under the Tuscan Sun, and Walden.” —Matt Plies, Annie Bloom’s Books, Portland, OR
