DESCRIPTION:The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games are an historic opportunity for China to show the world it has theconfidence to make progress in ensuring basic human rights for its 1.3 billion citizens. With a few months until the opening ceremonies however\, the Chinese government is more worried about political stability\, and is tightening its grip on domestic human rights defenders\, grassroots activists\, and the media to choke off any possible expressions of dissent ahead of the Games.

SUMMARY:The Zookeeper's Wife: A War Story
DESCRIPTION:RESCHEDULED to Fall \nIn her latest book\, The Zookeeper’s Wife: A War Story\, bestselling author Diane Ackerman recounts a true tale–as powerful as Schindler’s List–in which the keepers of the Warsaw Zoo saved hundreds of people from Nazi hands. When Germany invaded Poland\, Stuka bombers devastated Warsaw–and the city’s zoo along with it. With most of their animals dead\, zookeepers Jan and Antonina Zabinski began smuggling Jews into empty cages. Another dozen “guests” hid inside the Zabinskis’ villa\, emerging after dark for dinner\, socializing\, and\, during rare moments of calm\, piano concerts. Jan\, active in the Polish resistance\, kept ammunition buried in the elephant enclosure and stashed explosives in the animal hospital. Meanwhile\, Antonina kept her unusual household afloat\, caring for both its human and its animal inhabitants–otters\, a badger\, hyena pups\, lynxes. \nWith her exuberant prose and exquisite sensitivity to the natural world\, Ackerman engages us viscerally in the lives of the zoo animals\, their keepers\, and their hidden visitors. She shows us how Antonina refused to give in to the penetrating fear of discovery\, keeping alive an atmosphere of play and innocence even as Europe crumbled around her. Courtesy of Borders\, copies of The Zookeeper’s Wife: A War Story will be available for purchase and signing at this event. \nAdvance Reviews \nDava Sobel\, author of The Planets and Galileo’s Daughter\nStunning….Rarely does one read a book in which the author and the heroine are so magically matched.  \nJared Diamond\, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Guns\, Germs\, and Steel\nDiane Ackerman has surpassed even herself in her latest book\, which is alternatingly funny\, moving\, and terrifying.  \nJonathan Safran Foer\, author of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close and Everything is Illuminated\nI can’t imagine a better story or storyteller. The Zookeeper’s Wife will touch every nerve you have.
