BOOKS & AUTHORS
My Journey as an Abortion Doctor
This being Super Tuesday, why
don’t you go all out and take on one of the critical issues behind any
political campaign these days (and for so many years past) – the
abortion issue. Hear from a twenty-one year veteran on the front lines
of the abortion war, Susan Wickland, as she discusses her book This Common Secret: My Journey as an Abortion Doctor.
Having had an abortion at a very young age, and since then helping
women across the country through their own versions of the experience,
Wickland has much light to shed on the topic and the women behind it.
7:30 p.m., Magers & Quinn Booksellers, 3038 Hennepin Ave. S., Minneapolis; 612-822-4611.
LECTURE
Andrea Palladio: Architecture and Agritecture
As
Americans, we are often slow to learn from the past. We believe
in growth and progress and often have a hard time stopping to take a
look back at past accomplishments. Well, stubborn Americans, it
is time to get some schoolin’ from the pages of history. University
of Minnesota Professor Leon Satkowski will present a lecture tonight
on Andrea Palladio, one of the most famous Italian architects of the
16th century. You may be asking yourself, "What does
a dead Italian architect have to do with me?" Well, plenty actually. Focusing on the Italian villas that Palladio designed to serve as working farms, Satkowski will discuss how we can improve our own modern-day site planning
and sustainability. In an age where "going-green" is the new
trend, we might find some not-so-new ways to improve our earth through
architecture. —Kate Leibfried
