SUSAN
SKOG
Wednesday, June 13, 7:30 p.m.
Throughout our
culture, from our hospitals and schools, our
prisons to our corporations, we’ve failed to
solve our toughest issues whenever we’ve
operated without compassion. Radical Acts of Love (Hazelden, $21.95) by
SUSAN SKOG examines the radical, epic change
underway in our cultural institutions, as
compassion becomes the guiding cornerstone and
operating principal.
Radical Acts of Love
JEFF
LEVIN, Ph.D.
Monday, June 18, 7:30 p.m.
Over the past
decade, medicine has come to embrace the idea of
the connection between faith and healing, to such
an extent that between one third and one half of
America’s mainstream medical schools now
offer courses in health and spirituality. In God, Faith, and Health (Wiley, $24.95), JEFF
LEVIN explores the compelling evidence of the
connection between health and an array of
spiritual beliefs and practices.

cover, Terry Southern was an audacious,
outrageous American original. Now Dig This (Grove/Atlantic, $25.00),

Meditation. In this informative workshop, you

develop natural internal power.
HAL
BRILL
Thursday, June 21, 7:30 p.m.
The stock market
boom has fueled a national obsession with stocks
and mutual funds. At the same time, the authors
of Investing with Your
Values
(New Society, $18.95) believe that it has also
created an unprecedented opportunity to utilize
investment decisions to shape a more sustainable
and peaceful future. According to HAL BRILL,
today’s investors can encourage corporate
accountability on a wide variety of important
issues.

TED
CONOVER
Friday, June 22, 7:30 p.m.
When TED
CONOVER’s request to shadow a recruit at the
New York State Corrections Officer Academy was
denied, he decided to apply for a job as a prison
officer. The result of his year at Sing Sing
prison is Newjack (Knopf, $14.00), a
remarkable look at one of America’s most
dangerous prisons, where drugs, gang wars, and
sex are rampant, and where the line between
violator and violated is often unclear.
Newjack
SAM
LIGHTNER, JR.
Wednesday, June 27, 7:30 p.m.
In the spring of
1999, armed with little more than a description
from a book and a map labeled “all
elevations unknown,” SAM LIGHTNER found
himself on a mission to climb a mountain that was
only rumored to exist. All Elevations Unknown (Broadway, $24.95), charts
Lightner’s quest to ascend the mountain Batu
Lawi, and takes readers deep into the jungles of
Borneo, where he encounters leeches, vipers, and
sweat bees.
