7-Day Author Forecast for Nov. 26-Dec. 2
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Nov. 26
Cal Thomas and Bob Beckel. “Common Ground: How to Stop the Partisan War That is Destroying America.” 7 p.m. at the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum. Thomas is a conservative. Beckel is a liberal. They have co-written a book in which the idea is not to shred the opponent. I like the idea.
Nov. 27
David Baldacci. “Stone Cold.” 6 p.m. at the Margaret Mitchell House. Free to members, $10 for non-members. The latest thriller from the best-selling author of “The Collectors.” For those who know Baldacci, all you need to know is that the Camel Club is back. That was enough to make it debut at No. 1 on the Times best-seller list.
Richard H. Sams. “Atlanta is Ours: The Plot to Capture Sherman.” 7 p.m. at the DeKalb History Center in the old courthouse on Decatur Square. Sams, a long-time Decatur resident, discusses his new book, which imagines what might have happened if Sherman had been captured by the Confederates. I can guess - he would not have been happy.
Nov. 28
Georgina Howell. “Gertrude Bell: Queen of the Desert, Shaper of Nations. 7 p.m. at the Michael C. Carlos Museum, Emory University. British journalist has written a biography of the “female Lawrence of Arabia.”
Dec. 1
Ron Greer. “Markings on the Windowsill: A Book About Grief That’s Really About Hope.” 9 a.m.-12 noon at Evans Hall, Agnes Scott College, Decatur. Part of the “Women Alone Together” series. Reservations: 404-769-3228.
Sidney Perkowitz. “Hollywood Science.” 7:30 p.m. at Wordsmith Books, Decatur. Emory physicist discusses the portrayal of science in movies. It’s … alive!!!
