"That Crumpled Paper Was Due Last Week"
Tuesday, March 2, 7:30 p.m.
@ Kepler's 1010 El Camino Real Menlo Park, CA 94025
That Crumpled Paper Was Due Last Week: Helping Disorganized and
Distracted Boys Succeed in School and Life
With an accessible and no-nonsense approach, top academic counselor Ana
Homayoun shows how to:
* Identify their son's disorganizational style
* Help him set academic and personal goals he cares about
* Design and establish the right "tools of the trade"
* Complete assignments without pulling all-nighters
* Help him tune out social pressure and fend off anxiety
Much more than a study guide, this insightful, user-friendly book
provides a roadmap for the success too many boys have trouble
finding--in school and in life.
Ana Homayoun is the Founder and Director of Green Ivy Educational
Consulting, where she has helped hundreds of students dramatically
improve their academic performance while reducing the stress and anxiety
often associated with juggling a rigorous course load and
extracurricular activities. A graduate of Duke University, she also
holds a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology.

Eric Puchner
"Model Home: A Novel "
Wednesday, March 3, 7:30 p.m.
@ Kepler's 1010 El Camino Real Menlo Park, CA 94025
Warren Ziller moved his family to California in search of a charmed
life, and to all appearances, he found it: a gated community not far
from the beach, amid the affluent splendor of Southern California in the
1980s. But his American dream has been rudely interrupted. Despite their
affection for one another, Warren, his wife, Camille, and their three
children have veered into separate lives, as distant as satellites.
Worst of all, Warren has squandered the family's money on a failing real
estate venture.
When tragedy strikes, the Zillers are forced to move into one of the
houses in Warren's abandoned development in the middle of the desert.
Marooned in a less-than-model home, each must reckon with what's led
them there and who's to blame -- and whether they can summon the
forgiveness needed to hold the family together.
Eric Puchner teaches at Stanford University, where he was a Wallace
Stegner Fellow. His award-winning short stories have appeared in
Zoetrope: All-Story, Chicago Tribune, Best New American Voices 2005,
Pushcart Prize XVIII, and many more acclaimed journals and anthologies.
His short story collection, Music Through the Floor, was a finalist for
the NY Public Library's Young Lions Award and the California Book Award.

Timothy Ferris
"The Science of Liberty: Democracy, Reason, and the Laws of Nature"
Thursday, March 4, 7:30 p.m.
@ Kepler's 1010 El Camino Real Menlo Park, CA 94025
In his most important book to date, award-winning author Timothy
Ferris-"the best popular science writer in the English language today"
(Christian Science Monitor)-makes a passionate case for science as the
inspiration behind the rise of liberalism and democracy. Ferris argues
that just as the scientific revolution rescued billions from poverty,
fear, hunger, and disease, the Enlightenment values it inspired has
swelled the number of persons living in free democratic societies from
fewer than one percent of the world population in 1600 to over a third
today.
Ferris deftly investigates the co-evolution of these scientific and
political revolutions. A sweeping intellectual history, The Science of
Liberty is a stunningly original work that transcends antiquated
concepts of left and right.
Timothy Ferris, a Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award nominee, is the
author of 12 books, including The Whole Shebang, Coming of Age in the
Milky Way, and The Mind's Sky. He is currently professor emeritus at the
University of California, Berkeley.

"The Value of Nothing: How to Reshape Market Society and Redefine
Democracy"
Monday, March 8, 7:30 p.m.
@ Kepler's 1010 El Camino Real Menlo Park, CA 94025
Opening with Oscar Wilde's observation that "nowadays people know the
price of everything and the value of nothing," Patel shows how our faith
in prices as a way of valuing the world is misplaced. He reveals the
hidden ecological and social costs of a hamburger (as much as $200), and
asks how we came to have markets in the first place. Both the corporate
capture of government and our current financial crisis, Patel argues,
are a result of our democratically bankrupt political system. If part
one asks how we can rebalance society and limit markets, part two
answers by showing how social organizations, in America and around the
globe, are finding new ways to describe the world's worth.
Raj Patel, the author of Stuffed and Starved, is an activist and
academic who has been hailed as "a visionary" for his prescience about
the food crisis. Raj has worked for the World Bank and the World Trade
Organization and has protested against them on four continents. He is
currently a visiting scholar at UC Berkeley's Center for African
Studies, an Honorary Research Fellow at the School of Development
Studies at the University of KwaZulu-Natal and a fellow at the Institute
for Food and Development Policy, also known as Food First.

"Another Life Altogether "
Tuesday, March 9, 7:30 p.m.
@ Kepler's 1010 El Camino Real Menlo Park, CA 94025
A keenly observed depiction of the effects of a mother's mental illness
on her young daughter, Another Life Altogether is a profoundly moving,
funny, and ultimately heartrending coming-of-age story.
After years of living in the shadow of her mother's mental illness,
Jesse Bennett is given a fresh chance at happiness when her family moves
to a village in northern England. But just as it seems that she might be
able to build a perfect life for herself after befriending two of her
new school's most popular girls, her mother's worsening mental state and
the secret Jesse fiercely guards about herself threaten to destroy her
fragile stability. Caught in the storm of her mother's moods, her
father's desperation, and her classmates' strict adherence to cruel
social hierarchies, Jesse is forced to choose between doing what's right
and preserving her long-held hope for a normal life.
Elaine Beale is the winner of the 2007 Poets & Writers California
Writers Exchange contest, a competition for a partial draft of this
novel. Her fiction and nonfiction have appeared in several anthologies.
Originally from England, she has lived for the past twenty years in
Oakland.

"The trendy byways of Paris belong to Aimee Leduc, the clever young
sleuth in a winning series by Cara Black, an American with an uncanny
feel for the street culture of old Parisian neighborhoods."-The New York
Times Book Review
"The Parisienne Kinsey Milhone."-Los Angeles Times
"One of the best heroines in crime fiction."-Lee Child
Her partner Rene has been shot and eyewitnesses have identified Aimee as
the culprit. A mysterious deposit has been made to their firm's bank
account, interesting the taxman in their affairs. Someone seems to be
impersonating Aimee; someone wants revenge. Two murders ensue. How do
they relate to the youth whom Aimee's testimony sent to jail in the very
first Aimee Leduc investigation, Murder in the Marais?
Cara Black is the author of nine previous books in the best-selling
Aimee Leduc series. She lives in San Francisco with her husband and son
and visits Paris frequently.

"The Possessed: Adventures with Russian Books and the People Who Read
Them"
Thursday, March 11, 7:30 p.m.
@ Kepler's 1010 El Camino Real Menlo Park, CA 94025
THE TRUE BUT UNLIKELY STORIES OF LIVES DEVOTED-ABSURDLY!
MELANCHOLICALLY! BEAUTIFULLY!-TO THE RUSSIAN CLASSICS
No one who read Elif Batuman's first article (in the journal n+1) will
ever forget it. "Babel in California" told the true story of various
human destinies intersecting at Stanford University during a conference
about the enigmatic writer Isaac Babel. Over the course of several
pages, Batuman managed to misplace Babel's last living relatives at the
San Francisco airport, uncover Babel's secret influence on the making of
King Kong, and introduce her readers to a new voice that was
unpredictable, comic, humane, ironic, charming, poignant, and
completely, unpretentiously full of love for literature.
Batuman's subsequent pieces-for The New Yorker, Harper's Magazine, and
the London Review of Books- have made her one of the most sought-after
and admired writers of her generation, and its best traveling companion.
In The Possessed we watch her investigate a possible murder at Tolstoy's
ancestral estate. We go with her to Stanford, Switzerland, and St.
Petersburg; retrace Pushkin's wanderings in the Caucasus; learn why Old
Uzbek has one hundred different words for crying; and see an
eighteenth-century ice palace reconstructed on the Neva.
ELIF BATUMAN was born in New York City and grew up in New Jersey. She
now lives in Twin Peaks, San Francisco (near the radio tower). She is
the recipient of a Rona Jaffe Prize. She teaches literature at Stanford.

"The Power of Half: One Family's Decision to Stop Taking and Start Giving
Back"
Monday, March 12, 7:00 p.m.
@ Kepler's 1010 El Camino Real Menlo Park, CA 94025
It all started when 14-year-old Hannah Salwen had a eureka moment.
Seeing a homeless man in her neighborhood at the same instant she
spotted a man driving a glistening Mercedes, she said, "Dad, if that man
had a less nice car, that man there could have a meal."
Until that day, the Salwens had been caught up like so many of us in the
classic American dream-providing a good life for their children,
accumulating more and more stuff, doing their part to help others but
not really feeling it. So when Hannah was stopped in her tracks by this
glaring disparity, her parents knew they had to act on her urge to do
something. Their plan eventually took them across the globe and well out
of their comfort zone.
As Kevin Salwen says, "No one else is nuts enough to sell their house,"
but what his family discovered along the way will inspire countless
others, no matter what their means or resources are. Warm, funny, and
deeply moving, The Power of Half is the story of how one family grew
closer as they discovered that half could be so much more.
Kevin Salwen was reporter and editor at The Wall Street Journal for over
18 years. He serves on the board for Habitat for Humanity in Atlanta,
and works with the U.S. Olympic Committee. Hannah Salwen will be a
junior at the Atlanta Girls' School, where she plays for the varsity
volleyball team, and is her grade's representative to the student
council. She has been volunteering consistently since the 5th grade.

"So Much for That: A Novel"
Monday, March 15, 7:30 p.m.
@ Kepler's 1010 El Camino Real Menlo Park, CA 94025
From the acclaimed author of the New York Times bestselling novel The
Post-Birthday World comes a searing, deeply humane new novel about the
tragic costs of the American healthcare system.
Shep Knacker discovered long ago that the same money that lasts one year
in Westchester lasts 10 in the Developing World. That lesson has guided
him towards fulfilling the dream of moving. Yet instead of Tanzania,
Shep is stuck in New York, thanks to the foot-dragging of his wife,
Glynis. With no exit date in sight, the 48-year-old Shep reluctantly
returns to the company he founded as an employee. Angry and humiliated,
he gives Glynis an ultimatum: he's leaving for Tanzania, with or without
her.
Glynis, too, has news: she has cancer. Shep cannot abandon her now; in
addition to his love and support, she needs his health insurance. But
this "health insurance company from hell" only partially covers the
staggering bills, and suddenly this once well-off family is hurtling
toward bankruptcy.
So Much for That takes a hard look at America's healthcare "system," and
poses the disturbing moral question that affects more of us each day:
How much is one life worth?

"Lighting Out for the Territory: How Samuel Clemons Became Mark Twain"
Tuesday, March 16, 7:30 p.m.
@ Kepler's 1010 El Camino Real Menlo Park, CA 94025
Mark Twain is arguably the most famous and influential writer in
American history. His legacy is defined by The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. But little to nothing is known
about the crucial years during which Samuel Clemens transformed himself
into the beloved American writer we celebrate today as Mark Twain.
Backed by solid scholarship but never dry, LIGHTING OUT FOR THE
TERRITORY is the first full-length study of Mark Twain's life-changing
time in the still-Wild West and where he began his writing career and
shaped himself into an American favorite.
Roy Morris is the editor of Military Heritage magazine and the author of
five previous books on the Civil War era, including The Long Pursuit:
Abraham Lincoln's Thirty-Year Struggle with Stephen Douglas for the
Heart and Soul of America (Smithsonian Books, 2008); Fraud of the
Century: Rutherford B. Hayes, Samuel Tilden, and the Stolen Election of
1876 (Simon and Schuster, 2003); and The Better Angel: Walt Whitman in
the Civil War (Oxford University Press, 2000). A former newspaper
reporter and political correspondent for The Chattanooga News-Free Press
and The Chattanooga Times, Morris was the founding editor of America's
Civil War magazine and has served as a consultant for A&E Network and
the History Channel.

"The Edge of Physics: A Journey to Earth's Extremes to Unlock the Secrets
of the Universe"
Wednesday, March 17, 7:30 p.m.
@ Kepler's 1010 El Camino Real Menlo Park, CA 94025
Physics is in crisis. For more than two centuries, our understanding of
the laws of nature expanded rapidly. But in the last few decades, we've
made astonishingly little progress. What will finally break the impasse
and get physics back on track? In this timely and original book, science
writer Anil Ananthaswamy sets out in search of the world's most
audacious physics experiments: the telescopes and detectors that promise
to shed new light on things like dark matter, dark energy, and the
phenomenon of quantum gravity (which string theory tries to explain). He
soon finds himself at the ends of the earth.
Reporting back from some of the most inhospitable and dramatic research
sites on our planet, Ananthaswamy weaves together stories about the
people and places at the heart of this research, while beautifully
explaining the problems that scientists are trying to solve. In so
doing, he provides a unique portrait of the universe and our quest to
understand it. An atmospheric, engaging and illuminating read, The Edge
of Physics depicts science as a human process and, in a very real sense,
brings cosmology-with all its rarefied concepts-back down to earth.
Anil Ananthaswamy is a consulting editor for New Scientist in London,
where he has also worked as deputy news editor. He is also a contributor
to National Geographic News. He has a Master of Science degree from the
University of Washington, Seattle and worked as a software engineer in
Silicon Valley before training as a journalist at the University of
California, Santa Cruz.

"Spellwright "
Friday, March 19, 7:30 p.m.
@ Kepler's 1010 El Camino Real Menlo Park, CA 94025
Nicodemus is a young, gifted wizard with a problem. Magic in his world
requires the caster to create spells by writing out the text . . . but
he has always been dyslexic, and thus has trouble casting even the
simplest of spells. And his misspells could prove dangerous, even
deadly, should he make a mistake in an important incantation.
When a powerful, ancient evil begins a campaign of murder and
disruption, Nicodemus starts to have disturbing dreams that lead him to
believe that his misspelling could be the result of a curse. But before
he can discover the truth about himself, he is attacked by an evil which
has already claimed the lives of fellow wizards and has cast suspicion
on his mentor. He must flee for his own life if he's to find the true
villain.
But more is at stake than his abilities. For the evil that has awakened
is a power so dread and vast that if unleashed it will destroy
Nicodemus... and the world.
BLAKE CHARLTON has had short stories published in several fantasy
anthologies. Spellwright is his first novel. A medical student at
Stanford University, he lives near San Francisco, where he's working on
a sequel.

"The Man Who Ate His Boots: The Tragic History of the Search for the
Northwest Passage "
Saturday, March 20, 2:00 p.m.
@ Kepler's 1010 El Camino Real Menlo Park, CA 94025
The enthralling and often harrowing history of the adventurers who
searched for the Northwest Passage, the holy grail of nineteenth-century
British exploration.
In The Man Who Ate His Boots, Anthony Brandt tells the whole story of
the search for the Northwest Passage, from its beginnings early in the
age of exploration through its development into a British national
obsession to the final sordid, terrible descent into scurvy, starvation,
and cannibalism. Sir John Franklin is the focus of the book but it
covers all the major expeditions and a number of fascinating characters,
including Franklin's extraordinary wife, Lady Jane, in vivid detail. The
Man Who Ate His Boots is a rich and engaging work of narrative history
that captures the glory and the folly of this ultimately tragic
enterprise.
Brandt is the editor of the Adventure Classics series published by
National Geographic Society Press, and the books editor at National
Geographic Adventure magazine. Formerly the book critic at Men's
Journal, Brandt has written for The Atlantic, GQ, Esquire, and many
other magazines, and is the author of two previous books.

Yoram Bauman
"The Cartoon Introduction to Economics: Volume One: Microeconomics "
Tuesday, March 23, 7:30 p.m.
@ Kepler's 1010 El Camino Real Menlo Park, CA 94025
The award-winning illustrator Grady Klein has paired up with the world's
only stand-up economist, Yoram Bauman, PhD, to take the dismal out of
the dismal science. From the optimizing individual to game theory to
price theory, The Cartoon Introduction to Economics is the most
digestible, explicable, and humorous 200-page introduction to
microeconomics you'll ever read.
Bauman has put the "comedy" into "economy" at comedy clubs and
universities around the country and around the world (his "Principles of
Economics, Translated" is a YouTube cult classic). As an educator at
both the university and high school levels, he has learned how to make
economics relevant to today's world and today's students. As Google's
chief economist, Hal Varian, wrote, "You don't need a brand-new
economics. You just need to see the really cool stuff, the material they
didn't get to when you studied economics."
"Hilarity and economics are not often found together, but this book has
a lot of both. It also does a great job of explaining important economic
concepts simply, accurately, and entertainingly-quite a feat." -Eric
Maskin, Nobel Laureate in Economics

Frances Mayes
"Every Day in Tuscany: Seasons of an Italian Life "
Wednesday, March 24, 7:30 p.m.
@ Kepler's 1010 El Camino Real Menlo Park, CA 94025
In this sequel to her New York Times bestsellers Under the Tuscan Sun
and Bella Tuscany, the celebrated "bard of Tuscany" (New York Times)
lyrically chronicles her continuing, two decades-long love affair with
Tuscany's people, art, cuisine, and lifestyle.
Frances Mayes offers her readers a deeply personal memoir of her
present-day life in Tuscany, encompassing both the changes she has
experienced since Under the Tuscan Sun and Bella Tuscany appeared, and
sensuous, evocative reflections on the timeless beauty and vivid
pleasures of Italian life. Throughout, she reveals the concrete joys of
life in her adopted hill town, with particular attention to life in the
piazza, the art of Luca Signorelli (Renaissance painter from Cortona),
and the pastoral pleasures of feasting from her garden.
In addition to her Tuscany memoirs, Frances Mayes is the author of the
travel memoir A Year in the World; the illustrated books In Tuscany and
Bringing Tuscany Home; Swan, a novel; The Discovery of Poetry, a text
for readers; and five books of poetry. She divides her time between
homes in Italy and North Carolina.

"If You Can Read This: The Philosophy of Bumper Stickers "
Thursday, March 25, 7:30 p.m.
@ Kepler's 1010 El Camino Real Menlo Park, CA 94025
A PICTURE MAY BE WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS-BUT A FEW CHOICE WORDS CAN SPEAK
VOLUMES!
Long before blogs, tweets, and sound bites, people were telling the
world how they felt in brief, blunt bursts of information plastered on
the backs of their cars. Whether they're political or religious,
passionate or proud, controversial or corny, these brightly colored,
boldly lettered mini manifestos are declarations of who we are, where we
stand, and what we'd rather be doing. But as bestselling author and
noted philosopher Jack Bowen reveals, there's much more to the
pop-culture phenomenon of bumper stickers than rolling one-liners and
drive-by propaganda-no less, in fact, than a wise, funny, poignant,
contentious, and truthful discourse on the human condition.
Mixing pop culture with the ideas of historically prominent philosophers
and scientists, If You Can Read This exposes the deeper wisdom couched
behind these slogans-or, as need be, exposes where they have gone wrong.
If you brake for big ideas, now's the time.
Jack graduated from Stanford with Honors in Human Biology. He went on to
earn a Masters Degree in Philosophy from California State University,
Long Beach graduating Summa Cum Laude. Following a six-year stint
teaching philosophy and ethics at De Anza College, he has settled at
Menlo School where he teaches philosophy and coaches water polo.

"Deadlines: A Novel of Murder, Mystery, and the Media "
Tuesday, March 30, 7:30 p.m.
@ Kepler's 1010 El Camino Real Menlo Park, CA 94025
Land-use activist Beverly Bancroft is slain on a stretch of Northern
California shore. The killers, who disguise her death as an accident,
work for Cornu Point, an equestrian resort seeking to boost profit from
public land along the coast. The detectives are San Francisco newspaper
reporters.
"Every reporter worth his or her notepad is a sleuth at heart. Paul
McHugh brings this truth to life with crackling suspense and a true,
ink-stained veteran's eye for the newsroom."
-Dan Rather, TV anchor and newsman
"People who love San Francisco and appreciate a good mystery will find
Paul McHugh's 'Deadlines' a page-turner with unforgettable characters
and a realistic view of crime. McHugh creates an eccentric figure who
epitomizes an endangered species - a reporter who can connect the dots.
My wife Beverly and I couldn't put it down."
-Sheriff Mike Hennessey, of the City and County of San Francisco
McHugh wrote for the San Francisco Chronicle from 1985 to 2007. During
that period, he also published a non-fiction book, Wild Places.
Presently, McHugh writes for the New York Times, Washington Post and
L.A. Times, as well as other publications. And he works on short and
long fiction as well as non-fiction projects at his home on the San
Francisco Peninsula.

Peter Abaci, M.D.
"Take Charge of Your Chronic Pain: The Latest Research, Cutting-Edge
Tools, and Alternative Treatments for Feeling Better "
Wednesday, March 31, 7:30 p.m.
@ Kepler's 1010 El Camino Real Menlo Park, CA 94025
With more than twelve years' experience treating its sufferers and
seeing the nation's health-care system come up short, Dr. Peter Abaci
developed innovative treatments that have helped thousands better their
lives in dramatic ways--techniques he now offers in this book for the
first time.
"Peter Abaci has learned the secrets of successful chronic pain
management and put them into Take Charge of Your Chronic Pain. Both pain
sufferers and those who provide care for chronic pain patients can learn
from his superb guide to contending with chronic pain and all its
facets. He makes it quite clear that it is the patient who must do the
work; the health care provider is a guide and source of encouragement
and wisdom. This book is a counterbalance to the excessive reliance on
pills and procedures that so often fail to adequately deal with those
who suffer from chronic pain. The book is an excellent companion-piece
for patients entering into a chronic pain management program."
-John D. Loeser, MD, Professor Emeritus, Neurological Surgery and
Anesthesiology and Pain Management, University of Washington
Peter Abaci, MD, is board certified in anesthesia and pain management by
the American Board of Anesthesiology. He has been in private practice
since 1996 and is the Medical Director and Co-Founder of the nationally
recognized Bay Area Pain & Wellness Center, located in Los Gatos. Dr.
Abaci created the Pathways approach to pain management, and he also
devised a special procedure for treating deep muscle dysfunction around
the spine. He is a voluntary clinical instructor at the Stanford Pain
Clinic.
