Robert Pielke presents & signs A New Birth of Freedom: The Translator Noam Chomsky argues that communication with aliens would be impossible. Stephen Hawking argues that it would be extremely unwise even to try. What if it were absolutely necessary to do so? This question arises with extreme urgency at the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863, in this time-travel, alternate-history trilogy, A New Birth of Freedom. A New Birth of Freedom: The Visitor is the first book in a new science fiction trilogy involving time travel, alternate history and double first contact. Robert will also be introducing the second book in the series, A New Birth of Freedom: The Translator.

Robert G. Pielke presenting and signing Rock Music in American Culture: The Sounds of Revolution and A New Birth of Freedom: The Visitor Rock Music in American Culture: From its roots in the black and white "under classes" through its clash with the broader culture to its multifaceted incarnation today, rock and roll has fostered and reflected a genuine cultural revolution which has gone on to influence the world. This critical text investigates rock music from a philosophical perspective, an approach rarely seen in the literature. A New Birth of Freedom: It has taken centuries for us to recognize that all humans have certain fundamental rights. There will come a time when we have to consider whether others have such rights as well. That time will come at the battle of Gettysburg on July 3, 1863, when a mysterious time traveler arrives to tell a fanciful tale about aliens.

Susanna Bixby Dakin presents and signs An Artist for President: The Nation is the Artwork, We are the Artists Over twenty five years ago Susanna Dakin emerged from the sea having been tested by the waters for her candidacy as An Artist for President. A seminal performance art piece, it took Dakin from the art studio to the bully pulpit as she set out to prove that the nation is an artwork and we the people are the artists.

This discussion is free and open to the public.
