EX LIBRIS: Rough Riders
Today, we know about the Rough Riders mostly as a colorful chapter in the life of Theodore Roosevelt. But there is much more to the tale. NYT Deputy Op-Ed Editor Clay Risen will explore the untold history of the regiment and explain what made it such a significant part of American history – for Roosevelt, as well as for a country on the brink of becoming a global power.
The Crowded Hour:Theodore Roosevelt, the Rough Riders and the Dawn of the American Century is available for purchase through the Brown Bookstore, along with other titles featured this season.

EX LIBRIS: What an Owl Knows with Jennifer Ackerman
For millennia, owls have captivated and intrigued us. Our fascination with these mysterious birds was first documented more than 30,000 years ago in the Chauvet Cave paintings in southern France. With their forward gaze and quiet flight, owls are often a symbol of wisdom, knowledge, and foresight. But what does an owl really know? And what do we really know about owls? Scientists have only recently begun to understand in deep detail the complex nature of these extraordinary birds. Some 260 species of owls exist today, and they reside on every continent except Antarctica, but they are far more difficult to find and study than other birds because they are cryptic, camouflaged, and mostly active in the dark of night. Join Jennifer Ackerman, bestselling author of What an Owl Knows: The New Science of the World’s Most Enigmatic Birds, in a multimedia presentation on what we have learned lately about the nature of the world’s most enigmatic birds. With remarkable photos, videos, and audio recordings, Ackerman explores the rich biology and natural history of owls and examines remarkable new scientific discoveries about their brains and behavior.
The Q&A portion of this program will be recorded for the Athenæum’s archives.
Listening in Wild Places
“Listening in wild places, we witness conversation in a language not our own.”
– Robin Wall Kimmerer
In this reading group we will examine and explore the realms of ecology, philosophy, and the profound connections between humanity and the natural world.
This group has reached capacity. To be added to a waitlist, please email readinggroups@provath.org with LISTENING as the subject line.
The Athenæum is deeply grateful to our wonderful volunteer leaders. Please note library reading groups are not classes or courses, but rather a way for individuals to discuss readings together, guided by both expert and amateur enthusiasts. Participants should expect discussion-based, not lecture-style meetings.
The Invention of Nature (OFFSITE)
5:30pm program, 6:30pm reception & book signing
Historian Andrea Wulf on her book The Invention of Nature: Alexander von Humboldt’s New World. Co-presented by the John Carter Brown Library.
Perceiving nature as an interconnected global force, Humboldt (1769-1859) discovered similarities between climate zones across the world and predicted human-induced climate change. He turned scientific observation into poetic narrative, and his writings inspired naturalists and poets such as Darwin, Wordsworth and Goethe but also politicians such as Jefferson. Wulf also argues that it was Humboldt’s influence that led John Muir to his ideas of preservation and that shaped Thoreau’s Walden. Wulf traces Humboldt’s influences through the great minds he inspired in revolution, evolution, ecology, conservation, art and literature.
PLEASE NOTE: Talk takes place at the John Carter Brown Library, located at the corner of George and Brown Streets on the Brown Green.
Sponsored by Brian and Lyn Hayden.
What was Poe Reading?
Title: Circulation records of Thomas Davis, December 1848. Charging Book, Providence Athenæum.
The charging books of the Providence Athenæum detail the circulation records of members, their families, and friends. During 1848 Edgar Allan Poe was briefly engaged to Providence native Sarah Helen Whitman, and the two courted in the stacks of the Providence Athenæum (click here to learn more about their story). A well-respected poet herself, Whitman was closely affiliated with prominent authors in Boston and New York, and a hostess of literary salons in Providence. While the time Poe spent in Providence as well as his courtship with Whitman were brief, the two explored the literary collections together at the Athenæum, and Poe checked out at least one book.
