Black Dragon River

"Black Dragon River is a personal journey down one of Asia's great rivers that reveals the region's essential history and culture. The world's ninth largest river, the Amur serves as a large part of the border between Russia and China. As a crossroads for the great empires of Asia, this area offers journalist Dominic Ziegler a lens with which to examine the societies at Europe's only borderland with east Asia. He follows a journey from the river's top to bottom, and weaves the history, ecology and peoples to show a region obsessed with the past--and to show how this region holds a key to the complex and critical relationship between Russia and China today,"--NoveList.
This journey to one of the world's least known regions will be discussed on Tuesday, February 21 @ 6pm

The Wright Brothers

In this enjoyable, fast-paced tale ( The Economist), master historian David McCullough shows as never before how two Ohio boys from a remarkable family taught the world to fly and captures the marvel of what the Wrights accomplished.

Essential reading, this is a story of timeless importance, told with uncommon empathy and fluency about what might be the most astonishing feat mankind has ever accomplished. The Wright Brothers soars ( The New York Times Book Review). We will talk about the latest book from two time pulitzer prize winner David McCullough on
