SUMMARY:Nuno Castel-Branco - 'The Traveling Anatomist'
DESCRIPTION:Nuno Castel-Branco – ‘The Traveling Anatomist’ \nNuno Castel-Branco will discuss The Traveling Anatomist: Nicolaus Steno and the Intersection of Disciplines in Early Modern Science. A Q&A and signing will follow the discussion. \nAt the Co-op. \nRSVP HERE — please note your RSVP is requested but not required. \nAbout the book: Nicolaus Steno (1638–1686) was a renowned anatomist in his lifetime. He reformed the anatomical understanding of glands\, argued that the heart was a muscle\, renamed the so-called female testicles as ovaries\, and developed a mathematical model for understanding muscle contraction—discoveries that were fundamental to the fields of anatomy and physiology. However\, other aspects of Steno’s life have come to define him: his claim that mountains’ strata reveal the history of the Earth and his conversion to Catholicism as a practicing scientist. This excessive attention to his geological discoveries and to asking whether science and religion are compatible\, Nuno Castel-Branco argues\, has obscured his significant accomplishments as an anatomist. The Traveling Anatomist thus restores Steno to his rightful place as a crucial figure in early modern science. \nUsing Steno’s extensive travels as a framework\, this book depicts him as an active participant in the Republic of Letters. Castel-Branco traverses Leiden\, Paris\, Copenhagen\, Florence\, and Rome as he follows Steno in his sojourns through different scientific academies\, courts\, and artisanal workshops. There he developed new friends\, some of whom were women\, with whom he researched and exchanged ideas. Drawing on Steno’s books\, correspondence\, and novel archival material\, Castel-Branco invites us to approach Steno and his accomplishments in anatomy\, mathematics\, and geology through the eyes of his contemporaries. Doing so\, Castel-Branco reconstructs the rich and overlapping worlds of scientific disciplines that shaped Steno’s work\, revealing the richness of interdisciplinary research in early modern intellectual life. And through Steno\, he illustrates larger developments and new networks of significance in mid-seventeenth-century science. By focusing on ideas\, scientific genres\, institutions\, and friendships\, Castel-Branco offers a way others might also productively study science from the early modern period until today. \nAbout the author: Nuno Castel-Branco is a research fellow of All Souls College at the University of Oxford.

SUMMARY:Kathleen Rooney - "Man Overboard!"
DESCRIPTION:Kathleen Rooney – “Man Overboard!” \nKathleen Rooney will discuss her new novel Man Overboard! She will be joined in conversation by Deborah Shapiro. A Q&A and book signing will follow the discussion. \nAt the Co-op \nRSVP HERE \nAbout the Book: Patrick “Kick” Kilpatrick hates the ocean. Has always been terrified of it. And now he’s in a real pickle. \nDrifting alone in the sea after falling (or jumping? He can’t remember as the all-inclusive drinks on the cruise he was taking with his extended family were\, well\, inclusive) Kick must survive. Breath by breath\, hour by hour in the lonely sea. \nAs the waves crash over him\, so too do the thoughts and memories of just how he got there. A Thanksgiving cruise with an obnoxious brother-in-law he has to bite his tongue to keep from screaming at. A father who gives the Great Santini a run for his money. And a mother\, who already left the family boat\, so to speak\, a long time ago. His family may be complicated\, and the pains of life may seem unbearable—infuriating enough to leap from the deck—but maybe the will to survive is stronger. \nMan Overboard! is an inventive\, slyly hilarious\, and inspiring novel about what it means to be alive\, stay alive\, and what keeps us going no matter how choppy the waves of our journey become. Hold on for dear life! \nAbout the Author: Kathleen Rooney is a founding editor of Rose Metal Press\, a nonprofit publisher of literary work in hybrid genres\, as well as a founding member of Poems While You Wait\, a collective of poets and their typewriters who compose poetry on demand.
