Expert on regional history and a historian at the Museum of History and Industry in Seattle, Lorraine McConaghy visits to discuss her book, which traces the warship USS Decatur’s five-year tour in the mid-1850s including stops in Honolulu, San Francisco, and Central America as well as Puget Sound. Using a rich record of logbooks, medical and punishment records, correspondence, personal journals, and drawings, McConaghy presents the ship and its crew in a vigorous, keenly rendered case study that illuminates the forces shaping America's antebellum navy and foreign policy in the Pacific. Her book includes a Seattle war story that contested American treaties and settlements.

CHICKEN SCRATCHES: POULTRY POETRY & ROOSTER RHYMES. Our very own Children’s author (and the creator of our extraordinary store snow man,) the wonderfully prolific George Shannon pairs up with another Bainbridge kids’ author, Lynn Brunelle, to debut their new book. One day two summers ago, the two of them challenged each other to see who could write more silly chicken poems, both proclaiming, “Chickens today, tomorrow the world!” The result is as adorably absurd as chickens themselves, laugh-out-loud poultry poems that will appeal to anyone with a fowl sense of humor! Come laugh, cluck, nibble, and crow with them and The Poultry Players as they celebrate. And stay tuned for ways YOU can become one of The Poultry Players and part of the show! | ||

Venturing down from Seldovia, Alaska, having already logged more than 3,000 miles hiking Alaska’s wilderness before starting the adventure around which her book revolves, Erin McKittrick shares impressions from an epic journey with her husband between Puget Sound and the Bering Sea. Conservationists aiming to raise awareness of global climate change, the two traveled solely by human power and encountered relentless rain, ferocious winds, blizzards and bears, as well as visiting the tiny communities along the way. Their book reflects a better understanding of the interplay between human realms, ecosystems, and natural resources. “Whether discussing politics with off-the-grid back-to-the-landers, spooking a grizzly from the underbrush, repairing gear with dental floss, or catching a still-warm pizza from the sky, Erin and Hig experience a rich and varied coast, a world facing destructive change, but with hope for a sustainable future.” Publisher marketing | ||

Yunus Emre who lived in the late 13th and early 14th century was the most significant early literary fugure of Turkish Anatolia to assimilate the teachings of Islam and to forge a synthesis of Islam’s primary values and mystic folk poetry…In an age when hostilities, rifts, and destruction were rampant, Unus Emre was able to give expression to an all-embracing love of himanity and to his concept of universal brotherhood, which transcended schisms and sects. His verse stressed the importance of human worth and views Islam not in terms of rigid formulas but in terms of freedom of conscience and a fundamental ethos…Unus Emre decried religious intolerance and dwelt on the “unity of humanity”. He became a legendary figure and a folk saint. The translated poems in Sufi Flights are supple, enjoyable, and frequently enchanting.
