voices of the Southwest Lecture Series

EVENT INFO
WHAT: Voices of the Southwest lecture #1
WHO: Anne Weaver, author of The Voyage of the Beetle, talks about evolution.
DATE/TIME: September 3, 2008, 7pm.
WHERE: National Hispanic Cultural Center, 1701 4th Street SW, Albuquerque.

Anthropologist Anne Weaver Kicks Off Voices of the Southwest at National Hispanic Cultural Center

ALBUQUERQUE, NM-On September 3, 7pm, award-winning author Anne Weaver will be the first speaker in the recently resurrected Voices of the Southwest lecture series at the National Hispanic Cultural Center in Albuquerque. An hour-long talk will precede a question-and-answer period and book signing.

Weaver's book, THE VOYAGE OF THE BEETLE, explores Charles Darwin's "mystery of mysteries" by taking young readers on a scientific ride that helps answer the questions of why so many different species exist on Earth and why each is uniquely fitted for its environment.

Weaver, who graduated from UNM with a Ph.D. in anthropology, will talk about teaching evolution. She has taught at Santa Fe Community College and will continue her quest to make evolution accessible with a book on hominid children through time, forthcoming from UNM Press. Weaver's The Voyage of the Beetle won the New Mexico Press Women's 2008 Zia Award for best children's book and will also be the New Mexico State Library's selection to represent the state at the National Book Festival in Washington DC September 27.

Voices of the Southwest was begun in 2003 by then UNM Associate Provost Dr. David Stuart, in conjunction with UNM Press. Employing UNM Press authors, the series has covered a broad range of topics-from New Mexico history and culture to world archaeology to literature and poetry-and proven a forum for the public to mingle with recognized authors and learn about a specific subject. KUNM will simulcast the lectures on 89.9FM and online at www.kunm.org. For more information about the Voices of the Southwest or to view the complete lineup, visit www.unmpress.com or contact Christina Frain at 505-272-7183 or cfrain@unm.edu.

Calendar of Events for Hal Simmons

MAGIC LANCE:
Mystery & Adventure in the New West, Hal Simmons
Clear Light Publishing, ISBN 13: 978-1-57416-094-9 and ISBN 10: 1-57416-094-X, 320 pages, 5-1/2 x 8-1/2, $14.95, September 2008

“In this mystery-adventure, Magic Lance author Hal Simmons presents a collision of forces: the dream of a casino-enriched Indian tribe to form a Native American state, and the dream of a small landowner named Lance Burnett to live the traditions of the West. The tribe’s land ambitions send hot signals all the way to Washington, D.C. Powerful politicians, a billionaire landholder, environmentalists and anti-gambling groups join the fray.
“Along the way, Lance Burnett is entranced with two beautiful women, one his wife, who wants to leave him, the other a sensual young ranch manager who wants to join him.
“Magic Lance is more than an exciting read. It’s an inside look at the complex worlds of tribal gambling casinos and Indian country land rights. Besides, it is beautifully written.”
—Tony Hillerman

Popular Voices of the Southwest Lecture Series

Popular Voices of the Southwest Lecture Series Resurrected

ALBUQUERQUE--The University of New Mexico Press has resurrected the popular Voices of the Southwest lecture series. Beginning September 3 and continuing into October, the series will feature authors speaking on topics as diverse as evolution, immigration, medicine, archaeology, and the writing process.

The Voices of the Southwest was founded in 2003 by then UNM Associate Provost Dr. David Stuart, in conjunction with UNM Press, and has featured prominent writers such as Rudolfo Anaya, N. Scott Momaday, Tony Hillerman, Ursula LeGuin, and Demetria Martínez.

"I conceived of the Voices of the Southwest series to provide UNM's summer session with a world class educational and cultural event that would interest a broad spectrum of both students and off-campus citizens," says Voices founder Dr. David Stuart.

Employing UNM Press authors, the series has covered a broad range of topics-from New Mexico history and culture to world archaeology to literature and poetry-and proven a forum for the public to mingle with recognized authors and learn about a specific subject.

"We teamed up with UNM Press to present the series because no other division of UNM had given such a wide voice to Southwest culture,"
explains Stuart.

Another campus resource, KUNM radio, broadcast the series and will do so again this year at 89.9FM and online at www.kunm.org.

"KUNM gives speakers a live voice, substantially adding to the series' legend and appeal," says Stuart.

The series format entails an hour-long talk, followed by a question-and-answer period and a book signing. This year's line-up
includes:

* Santa Fe anthropologist Dr. Anne Weaver discussing evolution.
Her award-winning children's book THE VOYAGE OF THE BEETLE explains the fascinating concepts of evolution through the voice of a beetle accompanying Darwin on his voyages

* Los Angeles Times reporter Sam Quinones examining stories of
Mexican migration that inspired his book ANTONIO'S GUN AND DELFINO'S DREAM, which was the focus of "The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer" and other national media

* UNM Health Sciences Center administrator and professor Dr. David
Sklar talking about emergency medicine in rural Mexico-the subject of his memoir, LA CLINICA

* Renowned Harvard historian of religion and Mesoamericanist Dr.
Davíd Carrasco addressing the significant rediscovery of an ancient Mexican codex that explains important aspects of post-conquest native society documented in the book CAVE, CITY, AND EAGLE'S NEST

* Dr. David Stuart, UNM Professor and Associate Provost Emeritus
and Voices creator, shares the results of writing from personal experience, as he has done with his experiences as an anthropologist in Latin America in his books FLIGHT OF SOULS, THE ECUADOR EFFECT, ZONE OF TOLERANCE, and THE GUAYMAS CHRONICLES

Lectures begin at 7 p.m. at the Bank of America Auditorium at the National Hispanic Cultural Center, 1701 4th St SW, Albuquerque. The auditorium will open at 6 p.m. for a UNM Press exhibit and book sales.

Voices of the Southwest Schedule

* Sept. 3: Anne Weaver, teaching evolution to children
* Sept. 10: Sam Quinones, immigration and the US-Mexico border

* Sept. 17: David Sklar, emergency medicine in the developing
world
* Sept. 24: Davíd Carrasco, religion and archaeology in Mexico
* Oct. 1: David Stuart, writing from personal experience

CALLING ALL LOCAL AUTHORS
The new Flying Star Cafe in Bernalillo will have its Grand Opening Labor Day weekend in Bernalillo August 30, 31 and September 1, 2008. The New Mexico Book Co-op is having a Book Fair/Store to celebrate the New Mexico Wine Festival and the opening of Flying Star Cafe in Bernalillo. You are invited to participate if you have a children’s book or a book on food or cooking (especially on wines). There is no fee to participate (but you may be assessed a small fee for book purchases that use a credit card). The new Flying Star Cafe is located directly across the street from the NM Wine Festival and they anticipate 30,000 people coming, many walking down from the Road Runner station which is a block behind the new Flying Star Cafe. Flying Star Café has given us a store front next to the café (we are not sure which one yet but we will announce that information as soon as we hear from the sponsors). If you participate you will have to bring your books to the store on Friday August 29 (tentatively). And you will need to pick up your books at the end on Monday afternoon. All books must have a price on them or we will not be able to sell them.

If you want to participate and you have a book on food or cooking or a children’s book, email immediately the following info:

Title, Author, Publisher, Price

We will confirm with you by email how to get your books into the store for the weekend.


NEXT MEETING
The next lunch meeting of the NM Book Co-op is Friday, September 26 at 11:30 at HomeTown Buffet. Our presenter will be Anne Hillerman about the Hillerman Mystery Writers Conference. There will not be a meeting in August due to summer vacations.
