Writing History and Genealogy Series: Divination, Oracles & Omens
2025-02-20 18:00 - 19:00 | Dragon Tale Books
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.

Writing History and Genealogy Series: Dr. Kate is on Her Way!
2025-02-27 18:00 - 19:00 | Dragon Tale Books
Becky Adamski Krische will continue our history and genealogy series with a look at a Wisconsin historical figure – Dr. Kate Pelham Newcomb. We’ll hear how Becky researched Dr. Kate’s life to write this middle-grade biography.
The Book:
Meet Dr. Kate! She was a medical doctor from 1931-1956 in Northern Wisconsin who specialized in delivering babies and pediatric care. Dr. Kate is remarkable for many reasons. As a medical doctor, she expertly handled it all: immunizations, common colds, burns, delivering babies, poisonings and even gunshot wounds! Without a hospital, Dr. Kate was challenged to work independently. For years, she traveled to patients by car and relied on the items in her medical bag. In the snowy winter months, she regularly snowshoed to those in need of urgent medical care.
Dr. Kate deeply loved her community. She made efforts to improve water quality, milk quality, oversee medical treatment of youth camps and began an effort to build a community hospital. Her devotion to the local community led to Dr. Kate becoming a national celebrity. Dr. Kate was featured on a popular television show and in national magazines for her remarkable talents as a doctor and love of caring for others.
Dr. Kate faced many challenges, but her deep passion for caring for others caused her to meet those challenges with resilience and practical thinking.

Stories and Reflections of a Wisconsin Forest Ranger
2025-03-06 18:00 - 19:00 | Dragon Tale Books
Retired forest ranger, Blair Anderson, will provide insight and great stories about what it’s really like to be a forest ranger. Come with lots of questions.
Get a sneak peek – Blair Anderson will be on the Larry Meiller Show on Wednesday, February 26 at noon.
About the book:
America’s deadliest forest fire was not out West. It was in northern Wisconsin, the Great Peshtigo Firestorm of 1871 where 1,200,000 acres burned and as many as 2,500 people lost their lives. That tragedy quite literally sparked the need for forest rangers in Wisconsin. Blair Anderson was one of those Rangers, fighting fires in Wisconsin for more than 30 years in Sauk, Iowa, Dane and Richland counties and beyond.
He shares his stories of putting out forest fires, preventing them, investigating them, and educating people about them in his new memoir, When the Smoke Clears: Stories and Reflections of a Wisconsin Forest Ranger.
The book details a job that many fantasize but few really know. Here, he sets the story straight on what the life of a forest ranger really is about: working with fire departments, police, district attorneys, and lots and lots of regulr folks and, yes, tackling forest fires.
