Octavia Books: DOGS IN MY LIFE: The New Orleans Photographs of John Tibule Mendes - Bill Lavendar, editor (December 2 at 6:00pm)
Bill Lavender.
Please join us for a presentation and booksigning featuring Bill Lavendar, editor of this most curious and intriguing book, DOGS IN MY LIFE: The New Orleans Photographs of John Tibule Mendes. Raised in New Orleans, John Tibule Mendes lived most of his life in a two-room house on Broad Street with his ... (more)beloved mother and their dogs. Only after his death in 1965 was it discovered that this lonely and socially awkward man had spent most of his free time documenting beautiful and unusual scenes of early 20th century New Orleans. His glassplate negatives, discovered after his death in the attic of his house and published here for the first time, captured subjects typically ignored by the photographers of the era: transvestites, demolition of historic buildings, working class children playing in their yards, the mean streets of New Orleans. His photographs are exceptional from both documentary and aesthetic perspectives, presenting what could accurately be classified as photographic folk art. The collection is complimented by excerpts from his self-published autobiography, Dogs in My Life, which add Mendes' sometimes tragic, sometimes hilarious, voice to the remarkable images.

Octavia Books: Oliver Houck -- TAKING BACK EDEN: Eight Environmental Cases that Changed the World (December 9 at 6:00pm)
Oliver A. Houck.
"Who would have guessed that one of the most fascinating books of the year would be a discussion of environmental lawsuits from around the world?"
- Denis Hayes, President, Bullitt Foundation, and National Coordinator of the first Earth Day Please join us for a talk and booksigning by distinguished ... (more)Tulane University environmental law professor Oliver Houck as we celebrate the release of his new book. TAKING BACK EDEN is the saga of an idea--that ordinary people can go to court to defend their environment--told through lawsuits brought in eight countries around the world. Starting in the United States, this idea has traveled the planet at warp speed, carrying protections for threatened environments and new notions of justice and democracy as well. Author Oliver Houck describes the sites at issue in their place and time, the project promoters, the people who rose up against them, their lawyers, strategies, obstacles, setbacks, and victories. Along the way we meet Consolidated Edison, the Japanese Ministry of Construction, the agricultural juggernaut of Thessaly, the military regime of Chile, and the decaying Taj Mahal. We encounter hard-nosed fisherman, activists and dreamers, sabotage, media spectacles, a Cree Indian flotilla from northern Quebec to New York City, a lawyer in the Philippines descending by helicopter to arrest an illegal logging ship, a woman who dared sue the Russian state, and a colleague killed on the doorstep of his home. These legal actions, largely spontaneous, brought in the days before the Internet and without communication among them, created a new brand of public rights and hope for a more sustainable world. After them, there is no turning back. "Oliver Houck is a most unusual law professor: he writes with wit and even humor but also great brilliance and compassion. Read him and learn."
- Mark Hertsgaard, author of EARTH ODYSSEY: Around the World In Search of Our Environmental Future
