Chelsea Handler\, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Are You There\, Vodka? It’s Me Chelsea\, visits with her new book\, Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang. Life doesn’t get more hilarious than when Handler takes aim with her irreverent wit. Who else would send all-staff emails to smoke out the dumbest people on her own late night talk show (E!’s Chelsea Lately)? Now\, in this new collection of original essays\, Handler delivers one laugh-out-loud moment after another as she sets her sights on the ridiculous side of childhood\, adulthood\, and daughterhood. Family moments are fair game\, whether it’s writing a report on Reaganomics to earn a Cabbage Patch doll\, or teaching her father social graces by ordering him to stay indoors. Chelsea also performs at the Dodge Theater tonight at 8. PLEASE NOTE\: This is a booksigning only.
Lettered tickets (free with book purchase) will be called alphabetically to form the booksigning line. Chelsea Handler can personalize books\, but will be unable to pose for photographs or sign memorabilia.

Mary Gray\, Assistant Professor of Communication and Culture at Indiana University at Bloomington\, illustrates that against a backdrop of an increasingly impoverished and privatized rural America\, LGBT youth and their allies visibly and vibrantly work the boundaries of the public spaces available to them. Out in the Country is a timely and groundbreaking ethnographic study of sexuality and gender\, new media\, youth culture\, and the meaning of identity and social movements in a digital age.

Tattoos on the Heart reminds us that no life is less valuable than another. Father Gregory Boyle has received California Peace Prize\, the “Humanitarian of the Year” Award from Bon Appétit\, the Caring Institute’s 2007 Most Caring People Award\; and received the 2008 Civic Medal of Honor from the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce.

Teamed up with African-American players in a prison football league\, Frank learned to question his hatred\, and after being paroled he defected from the white supremacy movement and began speaking on behalf of the Anti-Defamation League. A story of fighting the demons of hatred and addiction\, Frank's downfall and ultimate redemption has the power to open hearts and change lives.

Her name was Henrietta Lacks\, but scientists know her as HeLa. She was a poor tobacco farmer who worked the same land as her slave ancestors\, yet her cells—taken without her knowledge—became one of the most important tools in medicine. The first “immortal” human cells grown in culture\, they are still alive today\, though she has been dead for more than sixty years. If you could pile all HeLa cells ever grown onto a scale\, they’d weigh more than 50 million metric tons—as much as a hundred Empire State Buildings. HeLa cells were vital for developing the polio vaccine\; uncovered secrets of cancer\, viruses\, and the atom bomb's effects\; helped lead to important advances like in vitro fertilization\, cloning\, and gene mapping\; and have been bought and sold by the billions. Yet Henrietta Lacks remains virtually unknown\, buried in an unmarked grave.
Now Rebecca Skloot takes us on an extraordinary journey\, from the "\;colored"\; ward of Johns Hopkins Hospital in the 1950s to stark white laboratories with freezers full of HeLa cells\; from Henrietta's small\, dying hometown of Clover\, Virginia to East Baltimore today\, where her children and grandchildren live and struggle with the legacy of her cells. Henrietta's family did not learn of her "\;immortality"\; until more than twenty years after her death\, when scientists investigating HeLa began using her husband and children in research without informed consent. And though the cells had launched a multimillion-dollar industry that sells human biological materials\, her family never saw any of the profits. As Skloot shows\, the story of the Lacks family is inextricably connected to the dark history of experimentation on African Americans\, the birth of bioethics\, and the legal battles over whether we control the stuff we are made of.
