<h2 class="qem_title"><a href="https://www.stoningtonlibrary.org/event/exploring-hidden-histories/">Exploring Hidden Histories: Apples, DNA, and the Search for Answers</a></h2><p class="start" >From 2.00 pm until 3.300 pm</p><p>Combining genomic profiling with traditional archival research into the history of apples in Maine potentially will answer questions about the earliest introductions of European fruit in North America. The "missing links" between the European varieties may very well be found in Maine using a combination of research tools that combine the traditional strengths of historical research with new genomic information to answer previously unanswerable questions. The Maine Heritage Orchard team has now done genomic profiles of over 300 trees from around Maine, and this talk will highlight some of the mysteries that have been solved in the process as well as some new ones that have emerged.</p>
<p>The presentation will be given by Todd Little-Siebold, Maine Heritage Orchard, at Stonington Public Library on Saturday, September 10, 2-3:30pm. Todd works closely with John Bunker to track down, identify, and preserve local heirloom varieties.</p><p class="readmore"><a href="https://www.stoningtonlibrary.org/event/exploring-hidden-histories/">Register for this event</a></p><div style="clear:both"></div></div></div>'); ){kind=link}

Titles alternate between fiction and nonfiction. To join our Zoom discussions, register below.<br /><br /><em>Winter Pasture: One Woman’s Journey with China’s Kazakh Herders </em>by Li Juan<br /><br />Li Juan and her mother own a small convenience store in the Altai Mountains in Northwestern China, where she writes about her life among grasslands and snowy peaks. Encouraged by her neighbors, Li decides to join a family of Kazakh herders as they take their 30 boisterous camels, 500 sheep and over 100 cattle and horses to pasture for the winter. The so-called "winter pasture" occurs in a remote region that stretches from the Ulungur River to the Heavenly Mountains. Li vividly captures both the extraordinary hardships and the ordinary preoccupations of the day-to-day of the men and women struggling to get by in this desolate landscape. Her companions include Cuma, the often drunk but mostly responsible father; his teenage daughter, Kama, who feels the burden of the world on her shoulders and dreams of going to college; his reticent wife, a paragon of decorum against all odds, who is simply known as "sister-in-law."<br /><br />In bringing this faraway world to English language readers here for the first time, Li creates an intimate bond with the rugged people, the remote places and the nomadic lifestyle.</p><p class="readmore"><a href="https://www.stoningtonlibrary.org/event/bipoc-women-li-juan/">Register for this event</a></p><div style="clear:both"></div></div></div>'); ){kind=link}
