In Craig Fehrman’s groundbreaking work of history, “Author in Chief”, the story of America’s presidents and their books opens a rich new window into presidential biography. Beginning with Thomas Jefferson’s “Notes on the State of Virginia”, the first presidential book to influence a campaign, and John Adams’s Autobiography, the first score-settling presidential memoir, “Author in Chief” draws on newly uncovered information—including never-before-published letters from Andrew Jackson, John F. Kennedy, and Ronald Reagan—to offer insights into the aspirations and inner lives of our nation’s presidents.

The Carter Library and Science for Georgia present a free screening of the documentary “Human Nature”. It is the story of the biggest tech revolution of the 21st Century. And it isn’t digital, it’s biological. A breakthrough called CRISPR has given us unprecedented control over the basic building blocks of life. It opens the door to curing diseases, reshaping the biosphere, and designing our own children. Human Nature is a provocative exploration of CRISPR’s far-reaching implications, through the eyes of the scientists who discovered it, the families it’s affecting, and the bio-engineers who are testing its limits.

This #1 New York Times best seller has been called “a triumph of storytelling, an intoxicating epic of family rivalry, palace intrigue, love and loss, as well as a celebration of indomitable female strength in a man’s world.” The New York Times says Madeline Millers Circe is “a bold and subversive retelling of the goddess’s story,.....both epic and intimate in its scope, recasting the most infamous female figure from the Odyssey as a hero in her own right.” Tickets will be available from ACappella Books.
