Firestorm BooksOne week from today, we'll be hosting author Michael Holcombe for a presentation on his new book, "The Story of Asheville's Water"—the first history of our municipal water, from the 1797 incorporation of the city to post-Helene recovery.Michael was Asheville's water resources director throughout much of the 1990s and set out to write "The Story of Asheville's Water" after the infamous municipal outage of December 2022. His work uncovers the remarkable degree to which Asheville is a city built on water, from its early beginnings to its promised future as a "climate haven."This 45 minute presentation will be followed by an audience Q&A and book signing.

Firestorm BooksAt the end of last year, while reading Rebecca Solnit's "A Paradise Built in Hell," many of us encountered the idea of "post-traumatic growth"—a sort of inverse PTSD, where individuals experience increased resilience, strengthened relationships, and personal empowerment as a result of a traumatic event. Excited by this phenomenon (and our own brush with it), a member of our reading group has worked with a friend in clinical psychology to facilitate a presentation and deeper conversation about the power of community in uncertain times.Please join us on Tuesday at 6:30pm for an in-person discussion and workshop that draws on academic research and our own experiences as disaster survivors to explore the idea of post-traumatic growth!More information can be found at <a href="https://firestorm.coop/events/3381-together-we-rise.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://firestorm.coop/events/3381-together-we-rise.html</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PostTraumaticGrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PostTraumaticGrowth</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PTSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PTSD</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HurricaneHelene" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HurricaneHelene</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MutualAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MutualAid</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MutualAidDisasterRelief" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MutualAidDisasterRelief</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WeKeepUsSafe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WeKeepUsSafe</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FeministBookstore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FeministBookstore</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FirestormCoop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FirestormCoop</a> (- L)
