DAVIS, STANFORD AT FLINTRIDGE BOOKSTORE
On Sunday, May 6 at 4 p.m., Flintridge Bookstore & Coffeehouse hosts an event for Alison Carpenter Davis, editor of “Letters Home from Stanford: 125 Years of Correspondence from Students of Stanford University,” a book that evokes a sense of the heritage, history, and shared experience common to students across colleges, generations and the country.
Far from being just about Stanford, this collection of handwritten and electronic correspondence covers a time when many leave home for the larger world, setting out to discover purpose, meaning, self – and how to do the laundry. Ultimately, this book is about being human.
Then on Thursday, May 10, at 7 p.m., Flintridge Bookstore & Coffeehouse hosts Craig Stanford, author of “The New Chimpanzee: A Twenty-First Century Portrait of Our Closest Kin.”
Recent discoveries about wild chimpanzees have re­shaped the understanding of these apes and their kinship with humans. Chimpanzees not only have genomes similar to humans but also plot political coups, wage wars over territory, pass on cultural traditions to younger generations and ruthlessly strategize for resources, including sexual partners. In “The New Chimpanzee,” Stanford challenges readers to let apes guide human inquiry into what it means to be human.
For more information, contact Gail Mishkin at (818) 790-0717.
Flintridge Bookstore and Coffeehouse is located at 1010 Foothill Blvd., La Cañada Flintridge, at the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and the Angeles Crest Highway. Parking is in the rear of the store.
