Join us at Mrs. Dalloway's Bookstore on Thursday, July 17 when award winning journalist and author Miranda S. Spivack comes to present her new book Backroom Deals in Our Backyards: How Government Secrecy Harms Our Communities and the Local Heroes Fighting Back. Miranda will be joined in conversation by Victoria Baranetsky and will sign copies of her book after the presentation. Click Here to order a copy of Backroom Deals In Our Backyards.Most Americans are likely to encounter the effects of government malfeasance or neglect close to home—from their governors, mayors, town councils, school boards, police, and prosecutors. In fact, deals shrouded in darkness are regularly made at the state and local levels, often the result of closed-door discussions between governments and industry without any scrutiny whatsoever from the public. Too often, as this groundbreaking new work of investigative reporting reveals, residents are intentionally kept on the outside, struggling to get information about significant issues affecting their communities—from car crashes and dirty drinking water, to failing safety gear—until the backroom deals are done and it’s too late to challenge them. A work of riveting narrative nonfiction based on years of original reporting, Backroom Deals in Our Backyards tells the story of five “accidental activists”—people from across the United States who started questioning why their local and state governments didn’t protect them from issues facing their communities and why there was a frightening lack of transparency surrounding the way these issues were resolved. The secret deals, lies, and corruption they uncover shake their faith in government but move them to action. For readers of Chain of Title and Superman’s Not Coming, Spivack’s revealing take on a hidden dimension of American politics will outrage and educate anyone who cares about the forces shaping their own communities. MIRANDA S. SPIVACK is a veteran reporter and editor who specializes in stories about government accountability and secrecy. She spent twenty years as an award-winning editor and reporter for the Washington Post. She previously worked as the Washington reporter for the Springfield (Mass.) Daily News and The Hartford Courant and was the deputy editor of a chain of weekly newspapers before joining The Washington Post. She is a former Fulbright Scholar and Distinguished Visiting Professor of Journalism at DePauw University. VICTORIA BARANETSKY is general counsel at The Center for Investigative Reporting, which publishes the Mother Jones magazine and the Reveal radio show. Prior to CIR, Victoria worked at The New York Times, the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, and the Wikimedia Foundation. She has also taught Berkeley Law School as an adjunct professor.

Join us at Mrs. Dalloway's Bookstore on Wednesday, July 23 at 7:00 PM when Bridget A. Lyons comes to the store to share her new book Entwined: Dispatches from the Intersection of Species. Bridget will be joined by Leigh Marz for the conversation and will sign copies of her book after the presentation. Click Here to preorder a copy of Entwined.What can octopuses’ nine brains teach us about climate resilience?How can great horned owls’ keen hearing illuminate relationship dynamics?Does playing with kelp cultivate respect for the value of life?What can our 8.7 million “more-than-human” neighbors teach us about life?Entwined: Dispatches from the Intersection of Species explores these questions through a collection of sixteen original essays by Bridget A. Lyons, a wilderness guide, traveler, and explorer who has encountered countless animals and plants in their native environments. From Alaska to Honduras, Lyons’ stories are braided with careful observation, scientific research, and wonder to foster the connection between us and our nonhuman neighbors. By focusing on the Anthropocene—the era during which human activities have had substantial impacts on the functioning of our planet—Lyons highlights the need to protect the planet’s quickly diminishing diversity. Each essay within Entwined seeks to keep nonhuman stories in the foreground, with Lyons’ personal experiences acting as a backdrop. Some of these moments include navigating icebergs in Alaska while researching the nesting strategies of common eiders, witnessing the apparent demise of a humpback whale on the Baja Peninsula while instructing a wilderness course, and observing ibex while trail running the Alps. While each piece can stand on its own as a literary examination of a creature’s life and a facet of the human experience, collectively, the narrative invites readers to consider what they have in common with even the most seemingly foreign of species, such as sea stars and sponges. Entwined rests on the belief that when we take the time to know unfamiliar creatures, we are more likely to alter our choices and behaviors in ways that ensure their continued existence on the planet. More information can be found at www.entwinedbook.com . BRIDGET A. LYONS is a writer, editor, explorer, and artist living with gratitude in Santa Cruz, CA, the unceded territory of the Awaswas-speaking Uypi Tribe. Lyons graduated from Harvard University and holds an MFA from Northern Arizona University. Bridget’s award-winning essays have appeared in Crazyhorse, The Common, Flyway, Chautauqua, Catamaran, Cold Mountain Review, Tahoma Literary Review, and other journals. Find out more at www.bridgetalyons.com. LEIGH MARZ is a collaboration and leadership coach for major universities, corporations, and federal agencies and has worked with NASA , the Green Science Policy Institute, Harvard University, IKEA, Google, and Kaiser Permanente, and more. Leigh is the coauthor of Golden: The Power of Silence in a World of Noise, published by HarperCollins. She is the cofounder of Astrea Strategies, a consultancy that bridges contemplation and action, helping leaders and teams envision and communicate solutions to complex challenges. Leigh lives in Berkeley, California, with her husband and daughter. THIS EVENT is free but registration is requested. Registration ends at 6:00 pm on July 23.
