We're reading Hilary Mantel&#146;s <em>Wolf Hall</em>, winner of the 2009 Man Booker Prize, 2009 National Book Critics Circle Award, and 2010 Walter Scott Prize.
<br><br>
"On the origins of this once-world-shaking combat, with its still-vivid acerbity and cruelty, Hilary Mantel has written a historical novel of quite astonishing power. . . . With breathtaking subtlety&#151;one quite ceases to notice the way in which she takes on the most intimate male habits of thought and speech&#151;Mantel gives us a Henry who is sexually pathetic, and who needs a very down-to-earth counselor. . . . The means by which Mantel grounds and anchors her action so convincingly in the time she describes, while drawing so easily upon the past and hinting so indirectly at the future, put her in the very first rank of historical novelists. . . . Wolf Hall is a magnificent service to the language and literature whose early emancipation it depicts and also, in its demystifying of one of history's wickedest men, a service to the justice that Josephine Tey first demanded in The Daughter of Time."&#151;Christopher Hitchens, The Atlantic

Answers from the Large Hadron Collider" with Professor Michael Tuts on Monday, February 27th.<p>

The new results emerging from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland have the potential to change our understanding of the universe. The world's most powerful particle accelerator, the LHC, collides protons to recreate the conditions that existed in the universe just moments after the big bang. Many trillions of these collisions have been analyzed using one of the world's largest and most precise scientific instruments, the ATLAS detector.<p>

In a presentation accessible to general audiences, Columbia Professor Michael Tuts, the U.S. ATLAS Operations Program Manager, will discuss how this experiment works, and how it will help answer some of Nature's most puzzling questions such as the origin of mass? What is the nature of the mysterious dark matter that fills a quarter of our universe? Do we live in more than three space dimensions?<p>

Dinner with a glass of wine or soft drink will be served.<p>

Price:<br>
Members - $10<br>
Non-members - $20<p>

Seating is limited, so register today!<p>
