Join us in welcoming 
New York Times best-selling author and Pulitzer Prize finalist, 
Lydia Millet
 whose memoir "We Loved It All" is 
a selection for this year's Mayor's Book Club.
Millet will be 
joined by ocean scientist Juli Berwald in a conversation.
A book signing will follow with books available for purchase on site from Black Pearl Books.
Millet’s anti-memoir "We Loved It All" explores the pain and joy of being a parent, child, and human at a moment when the richness of the planet’s life is deeply threatened. Emerging from Millet’s quarter century of wildlife and climate advocacy, the book marries scenes from her life with moments of nearness to “the others” — the animals and plants with whom we share the earth.
Lydia Millet
 has written more than a dozen novels and story collections. Her novel “A Children’s Bible” was a New York Times Best 10 Books of 2020 selection and shortlisted for the National Book Award. In 2019 her story collection “Fight No More” received an Award of Merit from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and her collection “Love in Infant Monkeys” was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 2010. She also writes essays, opinion pieces, book reviews, and other ephemera and has worked as an editor and staff writer at the Center for Biological Diversity since 1999. She lives in the desert outside Tucson with her family

Historic buildings

糊涂虫儿

As an ordinary tourist, I thought the procedure to enter the Capitol Building was very complicated, but I didn&#39;t expect that I could enter and visit just by checking the bags I brought with me.
This building was built in 1885 and covers an area of ​​51 acres. It was designed by architect Elijah E Myer in imitation of the Capitol Building in Washington. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970 and was named a National Historic Landmark in 1986.
It is amazing that the passage of time has not affected its appearance and internal structure at all. It is as new as ever. Visitors can visit the government offices and have time to visit the exterior of the building to appreciate this century-old building from all angles.
