Her book, <em>Platonic: How the Science of Attachment Can Help You Make–And Keep–Friends</em>, explores the science of different attachment styles and how they impact our relationships–often in ways we don’t realize!<br><br>How do we make and keep friends in an era of distraction, burnout, and chaos, especially in a society that often prizes romantic love at the expense of other relationships? In <em>Platonic</em>, Dr. Marisa G. Franco unpacks the latest, often counterintuitive findings about the bonds between us—for example, why your friends aren’t texting you back (it’s not because they hate you!), and the myth of “friendships happening organically” (making friends, like cultivating any relationship, requires effort!). As Dr. Franco explains, to make and keep friends you must understand your attachment style—secure, anxious, or avoidant: it is the key to unlocking what’s working (and what’s failing) in your friendships.<br><br>Making new friends, and deepening longstanding relationships, is possible at any age—in fact, it’s essential. The good news: there are specific, research-based ways to improve the number and quality of your connections using the insights of attachment theory and the latest scientific research on friendship. <em>Platonic </em>provides a clear and actionable blueprint for forging strong, lasting connections with others—and for becoming our happiest, most fulfilled selves in the process.<br><br></p><p><a href="https://libraryc.org/phoenixpubliclibrary/178163" target="_blank">Register today to learn more about how to harness the science of human connection to create cultures of belonging. </a></p><p><br></p><p><img src="/images/eLibrary/LSC/LSC-8.4-Johnson_web.jpg" alt="Headshot of author Paula J.

Johnson, author of <em>Julia Child’s Kitchen: The Design, Tools, Stories, and Legacy of an Iconic Space</em>. The book includes interviews with chefs who knew Julia well, commentary on her favorite culinary tools and kitchen gadgets, and a stunning array of photos.</p><p>Julia Child's 20’ x 14’ kitchen was a serious workspace and recipe‑testing lab that exuded a sense of mid‑century homey comfort. It has been on display at the National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C., for most of the past twenty-three years, and museum goers have made it a top destination.</p><p>The kitchen contains more than one thousand parts and pieces—tools, appliances, utensils, furniture, artwork, knick‑knacks, books, and bits of whimsy—all reflecting Julia’s status as an accomplished chef, gastronome, delightful cooking teacher, television trailblazer, women’s advocate, mentor, and generous, jovial friend.</p><p><em>Julia Child’s Kitchen</em> (and this online conversation) is a must‑have for every serious home cook and Julia Child fan. </p><p><a href="https://libraryc.org/phoenixpubliclibrary/102413" target="_blank">Register now to enter the discussion and learn more about how Julia Child continues to influence food today!</a></p><p><br></p><p><img src="/images/eLibrary/LSC/LSC-8.25-Montgomery_web.jpg" style="margin:5px;" /><br></p><h3><span id="ms-rterangepaste-start"></span><a href="https://libraryc.org/phoenixpubliclibrary/186159" target="_blank">When Trees Testify: Reclaiming America’s Black Botanical Legacy with Beronda Montgomery</a></h3><h4>Tuesday, August 25 at 11 a.m.<br><br></h4><span id="ms-rterangepaste-start"></span><p>Join us for a riveting conversation with award-winning biologist Beronda Montgomery as we discuss her book, <em>When Trees Testify: Science, Wisdom, History, and America’s Black Botanical Legacy</em>. </p><p>The histories of trees in America are also the histories of Black Americans. Pecan trees were domesticated by an enslaved African named Antoine; sycamore trees were both havens and signposts for people trying to escape enslavement; poplar trees are historically associated with lynching; and willow bark has offered the gift of medicine. These trees, and others, testify not only to the complexity of the Black American narrative but also to a heritage of Black botanical expertise that, like Native American traditions, predates the United States entirely.</p><p>In <em>When Trees Testify</em>, award-winning plant biologist Beronda L. Montgomery explores the ways seven trees, as well as the cotton shrub, are intertwined with Black history and culture. She reveals how knowledge surrounding these trees has shaped America since the very beginning. As Montgomery shows, trees are material witnesses to the lives of enslaved Africans and their descendants.</p><p>Combining the wisdom of science and history with stories from her own path to botany, Montgomery talks to majestic trees, and in this unique and compelling narrative, they answer.</p><p><a href="https://libraryc.org/phoenixpubliclibrary/186159" target="_blank">Register today for this insightful discussion about Black history and botanical mastery. </a></p><span id="ms-rterangepaste-end"></span><h4><br></h4><p><span id="ms-rterangecursor-start"></span><span id="ms-rterangecursor-end"></span><br></p></div><h3 style="text-align:center;"><a href="https://libraryc.org/phoenixpubliclibrary" target="_blank">Learn more about the Library Speakers Consortium and view all upcoming events.</a><br></h3></div><br></div> | library-speakers-consortium | |
