Brown Bag @ the Bradbury Brown Bag @ the Bradbury - Jen Payne - A Little Bird Told Me: The Prehistory and History of the Pajarito PlateauMay is National Heritage Preservation Month, but at Los Alamos National Laboratory every month is Historic Preservation month. The Laboratory has an unusually high density of archaeological sites on its lands, with a ratio of one site per six hectares. Federal laws require archaeologists to identify, evaluate, and protect cultural resources eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. Reliable and cost-effective eligibility determinations are crucial to land use decisions. The Laboratory has an active cultural resources management plan and strategy, which allows projects to avoid impacts to archaeological sites and historic buildings. Between 2002 to 2007 archaeologists working at the Laboratory conducted an intensive excavation project, studying more than 40 sites. This presentation provides an overview of how archaeologists and historians make cultural resources management decisions at the Laboratory. Join us as Jen Payne, a LANL historian and archaeologist speaks on her experiences from Noon to 1:00 PM during a lunchtime lecture at the Bradbury Science Museum.

Authors Speak Series - Steve Sheinkin Steve Sheinkin is the former history textbook writer and current award-winning author of several fascinating books on American history, most recently Bomb: The Race to Build and Steal the Worlds Most Dangerous Weapon.Bomb is a multiple award winner: it was selected as a Newbery Honor Book in 2013. Sheinkins true story of the atomic bombs inception was also awarded both the ALAs Robert F. Sibert Medal for most distinguished informational book published in English during the preceding year and the Young Adult Library Service Associations Award for Excellence in Nonfiction. It was also a 2012 National Book Award Finalist, Young People's Literature.His title The Notorious Benedict Arnold won both the 2012 YALSA Award for Excellence in Nonfiction for Young Adults and the Boston Globe/Horn Book Award for non-fiction. Steve lives in Saratoga Springs, NY.About BOMB: In December of 1938, a chemist in a German laboratory made a shocking discovery: When placed next to radioactive material, a Uranium atom split in two. That simple discovery launched a scientific race that spanned 3 continents. In Great Britain and the United States, Soviet spies worked their way into the scientific community; in Norway, a commando force slipped behind enemy lines to attack German heavy-water manufacturing; and deep in the desert, one brilliant group of scientists was hidden away at a remote site at Los Alamos. This is the story of the plotting, the risk-taking, the deceit, and genius that created the world's most formidable weapon. This is the story of the atomic bomb.Like us on Facebook:http://www.facebook.com/pages/Los-Alamos-County-Library-System/407149149379936 more info...

Authors Speak Series: John Nichols Best known for his "New Mexico Trilogy," John Nichols is a novelist, photographer, screenwriter, and environmental nonfiction writer. He was the winner of a 1981 New Mexico Governor's Award and in 2003, both the Frank Waters Award and Wallace Stegner Award. Nichols's works are noted for their social and environmental concerns, particulatly the cultural conflict between Anglos and Chicanos in New Mexico, social violence, the destruction of natural resorces, and economic imbalance. His books are marked by colorful characters and familiar locales, and they not only deal with largersocial issues but also focus on the more intimate issues of family and love.Gale Contemporary authors Online, 2008Nichols is the author of twenty books, including his latest novel, On Top of Spoon Mountain (UNM Press 2012). This is from his website:I worked on this novel for 12 years, so obviously it's a masterpiece. Don't take my word, read the book. Jonathan Kepler wants to climb a 13,000 foot high New Mexico Mountain with his adult children, Ben and miranda, on his 65th birthday. But he's overweight, with heart problems, his life is a mess, his kids know he is crazy. No matter. Pigheaded Jonathan thinks climbing spoon Mountain will bring him redemption with his offspring come hell or high water. This book is a comedy, a Family tragedy, it has a beautiful message. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you won't be disappointed, I promise. Not since The Milagro Beanfield War have I been so on my game. But if I'm wrong you can't get your money back, are you kidding? This is America. The bubble has burst. (Yet my literature soldiers on!) more info...
