Capt. Timothy Tyre will kick off our Writing Genealogy Series. He researched and wrote about his parents during World War II.
The Book:
The Widow Maker is a true story about a young couple (Eddie & Shirley) who fall in love at the outset of World War II. It is a story about the greatest generation that unselfishly went to war against a threat to Democracy. The Widow Maker gives the reader a special lesson in the history of World War II written from the perspective of Eddie Tyre, a young Army Air Corps aviator who completes 50 combat missions in the European Theatre. The book gives a personal look into the lives of the couple who send love letters to each other and cope with a world shaken by war.

Thursday February 20, 6-7pm. UW-Stout Professor of English and author, Joan Navarre, will relate her adventures in research at some of the most prestigious libraries around the world, along with where her research led her.
Her chapter in Divination, Oracles & Omens is Palmistry in Britain and the United States, so hopefully she'll share a little bit about palm reading.
In Divination, Oracles & Omens, Michelle Aroney and David Zeitlyn explore our need to appeal to powers beyond our realm for prediction and clarification.
The past, present, and future are full of tantalizing mysteries: questions about our own and other people's lives that we long to answer. Across history, human cultures have devised a wide range of methods to discover what might lie ahead or to understand past events.
This fascinating book features twenty-four divinatory techniques from around the world that have been and are still used to uncover hidden information: from astrology, palmistry, and Tarot to egg divination and Chinese Yijing. Each chapter is beautifully illustrated with a wide range of associated objects, such as cards, dice, altars, candles and texts, and even mathematical tools including astrolabes and astronomical tables. While these practices are often seen as light-hearted entertainment, a soothsayer's uncannily accurate reading can catapult a client from skepticism to serious engagement.
From ancient times to the present day, this spellbinding collection explores our need to appeal to powers beyond the realm of our day-to-day understanding for prediction and clarification, and how the questions we ask can reveal more than the answers we are given.
