SUMMARY:In Conversation with Author and Historian Philippa Langley: Finding King Richard III and “The Princes in the Tower” (virtual)
DESCRIPTION: We are looking forward to chatting with author and historical sleuth\, Philippa Langley\, about her book The Princes in the Tower: Solving History’s Greatest Cold Case and her discovery of the grave of King Richard III in 2012. Join us as she discusses her research methods\, her team\, her findings\, and how solving this cold case affects our understanding of the royal monarchy (in the 1500s\, of course). \nThis program is sponsored by the Friends of the Ashland Public Library  and is held in collaboration with the Bacon Free Library\, the Ashland Public Library\, and a multitude of MA Libraries. \n\nPLEASE REGISTER HERE FOR THE ZOOM LINK \n  \n\n\nAbout the Author:\nPhilippa Langley\, MBE is an historian and award-winning producer\, best known for her discovery of Richard III in 2012. She is co-author of the bestselling The Lost King with Michael Jones (first published as The King’s Grave\, John Murray 2013)\, and Finding Richard III\, the official account of her Looking For Richard Project. On the ten-year anniversary of discovering Richard III\, her extraordinary story was released as the internationally acclaimed major feature film\, The Lost King\, directed by Sir Stephen Frears and starring Sally Hawkins. \nIn November 2023\, Philippa once again rewrote the history books in her new work The Princes in the Tower: Solving History’s Greatest Cold Case (The History Press\, UK; Pegasus\, USA). Based on her remarkable new research initiative\, The Missing Princes Project\, its now seven-year investigation revealed the Princes survived to challenge Henry VII\, the first Tudor monarch\, for the throne of England. It has been made into a feature-length Factual Special TV documentary by Channel 4\, PBS in America and SBS in Australia. \n  \nAbout The Missing Princes Project:\nFollowing years of intensive research by Langley and her international team\, she reveals the findings of The Missing Princes Project. Using investigative methodology\, it places the most enduring of mysteries about what happened to the Princes in the Tower under a forensic microscope\, unearthing an astonishing untold story of survival and uncovering remarkable new archival discoveries of proof of life. It is the first time that police cold case investigation analysis has been applied to a centuries-old historical mystery\, leaving no stone unturned\, and the results are extraordinary. \n\n  \nIf you’d like to purchase a signed copy of Philippa’s book\, you can do so through Aesop’s Fable.  In the comment section of checkout\, note that you would like your book to come with a signed bookplate.

SUMMARY:How Birds Created the World and other stories from “The Complete Language of Birds” with Author Randi Minetor (virtual)
DESCRIPTION:We’re very excited to chat with author and journalist Randi Minetor who\, with her photographer husband Nic\, has visited 354 (out of 429) National Parks! All of their travels have inspired one of Randi’s books\, The Complete Language Of Birds. In this program\, Randi will discuss her latest book\, birds and their evolution\, and (hopefully) some of her travels.\n\n\n\n\nThis program is sponsored by the Friends of the Ashland Public Library and held in collaboration with the Bacon Free Library\, the Ashland Public Library\, and several NH and MA libraries. \n\nPLEASE REGISTER HERE FOR THE ZOOM LINK. \n\n\n\n  \nAbout the Author:\n\nBorn and raised in Rochester\, NY\, Randi Minetor discovered the backcountry wonders of America’s national parks in 1992 with her husband\, photographer/lighting designer Nic Minetor. That first trip changed her life\, and by 2000\, the Minetors had pledged to see all 391 (now 429) national parks in their lifetimes. They found a way to subsidize this passion in 2006\, when they began writing and photographing books on the parks for The Globe Pequot Press (now Rowman & Littlefield). Today Randi has written more than 90 books\, including seven books in the nonfiction Death in the National Parks series\, ten hiking guides in New York State\, several bird-finding guides\, and even reference books on health topics. To date\, they have visited 354 national parks. In addition\, Nic’s photography appears in eight Quick Reference Guides to the Birds\, Trees\, and Wildflowers of New York City and New York State\, and The Trees and Wildflowers of the Mid-Atlantic States. The Minetors live in Rochester\, NY. \n  \nAbout The Complete Language of Birds:\n\nIf you’re a nature lover who thrives on bird videos and photography\, go beyond the scope of standard field guides with this comprehensive reference. Each entry of The Complete Language of Birds provides not only the bird’s name and physical qualities\, but also its history\, symbolic meanings\, and hidden properties from mythology\, legends\, and folklore. \n\n\nIf you’d like to purchase a signed copy of Randi’s book\, you can do so through Aesop’s Fable.  In the comment section of checkout\, note that you would like your book to come with a signed bookplate. \n
