Local Author, Ann Parson, will give an illustrated talk about America’s early days of science, the focus of her new book. The Birds of Dog; An Historical Novel Based on Mostly True Events opens with the launch of the Boston Society of Natural History, closes with the founding of the Audubon Society and along the way brings together diverse stories about 19th-century America’s emerging sciences and its first scientists.

Ann will share forgotten scientific milestones, read from her book, and explain what inspired her to write her first fiction after several nonfiction titles.

Synopsis: A curator’s assistant finds herself increasingly drawn to Nature’s treasures, especially birds, and opposed to the “kill-and-collect” methods of hunters. Her cousin is off serving as chief zoologist for the country’s first voyage of discovery to the South Seas, and her outbound letters tell of scientific findings at home & memorable encounters—with Audubon, Junius Brutus Booth, Dickens and other eminent visitors to Boston. When she meets a brilliant inventor, whose discovery leads to the world’s first public aquarium, she finds a kindred soul. It’s plain that new technologies are on a destructive course with Nature, that guns have strayed from their original purpose. The Boston Society of Natural History eventually evolved into Boston’s Museum of Science.

Ann’s earlier titles include The Proteus Effect; Stem Cells and Their Promise for Medicine and Decoding Darkness; The Search for the Genetic Causes of Alzheimer's Disease, co-authored with neuroscientist Rudolph Tanzi; and Antonio Ferri, Partisan Scientist, an account of the revered Father of supersonic flight.
