SUMMARY:The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
DESCRIPTION:Join the SSN Bookclub online to discuss The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. \nSeconds before the Earth is demolished to make way for a galactic freeway\, Arthur Dent is plucked off the planet by his friend Ford Prefect\, a researcher for the revised edition of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy who\, for the last fifteen years\, has been posing as an out-of-work actor.  Together this dynamic pair begin a journey through space aided by quotes from The Hitchhiker’s Guide (“A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have”) and a galaxy-full of fellow travelers: Zaphod Beeblebrox–the two-headed\, three-armed ex-hippie and totally out-to-lunch president of the galaxy; Trillian\, Zaphod’s girlfriend (formally Tricia McMillan)\, whom Arthur tried to pick up at a cocktail party once upon a time zone; Marvin\, a paranoid\, brilliant\, and chronically depressed robot; Veet Voojagig\, a former graduate student who is obsessed with the disappearance of all the ballpoint pens he bought over the years.  Where are these pens? Why are we born? Why do we die? Why do we spend so much time between wearing digital watches? For all the answers stick your thumb to the stars. And don’t forget to bring a towel!  \nIf you would like to join SSN book club\, get in touch with:  \n\nArtemi Tonikidou: a.tonikidou@lboro.ac.uk  \nKieron Lintott: K.Lintott@lboro.ac.uk   \nTaisiia Stankevych: S.Stankevych2@lboro.ac.uk  \n\n

SUMMARY:Heartstopper (Volume 1) by Alice Oseman
DESCRIPTION:Charlie\, a highly-strung\, openly gay over-thinker\, and Nick\, a cheerful\, soft-hearted rugby player\, meet at a British all-boys grammar school. Friendship blooms quickly\, but could there be something more…? Charlie Spring is in Year 10 at Truham Grammar School for Boys. The past year hasn’t been too great\, but at least he’s not being bullied anymore. Nick Nelson is in Year 11 and on the school rugby team. He’s heard a little about Charlie – the kid who was outed last year and bullied for a few months – but he’s never had the opportunity to talk to him. They quickly become friends\, and soon Charlie is falling hard for Nick\, even though he doesn’t think he has a chance. But love works in surprising ways\, and sometimes good things are waiting just around the corner…  \nIf you would like to join SSN book club\, get in touch with:  \n\nArtemi Tonikidou: a.tonikidou@lboro.ac.uk  \nKieron Lintott: K.Lintott@lboro.ac.uk   \nTaisiia Stankevych: S.Stankevych2@lboro.ac.uk  \n\nOnline

SUMMARY:SSN Book club – Science in Joseph Wright’s Paintings
DESCRIPTION:Between 1765 and 1771 (under the influence of his friend Peter Perez Burdett)\, Joseph Wright of Derby (1734-97) created three major paintings with ‘scientific themes’: A Philosopher Lecturing on the Orrery\, A Bird in the Air Pump\, and The Alchymist. His use of dramatic chiaroscuro effects has led him to be dubbed Painter of Light by Benedict Nicholson and Painter of Darkness by Matthew Craske. Wright’s meticulous attention to detail tempts us to treat them as quasi-photographic records of actual events. How far can we take that idea? What was he trying to do\, and for whom? Do we now read these paintings differently from Wright’s contemporaries?  \nJonathan Powers was the first Pro Vice-Chancellor (Academic) of the University of Derby and one of its first five Professors. His ‘professorial trade’ is Philosophy\, but he is also a Chartered Physicist. He was previously Dean of Humanities at Middlesex Polytechnic\, where he headed Degree Courses in three different Faculties. After retirement he became Project Champion for the Derby Multi-Faith Centre\, founder Chairman of the Derby Chamber Music Society\, and also chaired Derby Playhouse. Inter alia he has published more than twenty small monographs\, primarily on culturally significant figures associated with the East Midlands Enlightenme  \n Presenter: Emeritus Professor Jonathan Powers  \nOnline
