The Architecture of Downtown Troy
Author Talk & Book Signing with Diana Waite
Tuesday, June 15, 6:00—7:30 P.M.
The University Club is happy to welcome back
The Architectural Society with their first talk since the shut down! We welcome author Diana Waite to the club to talk about her award-winning book
The Architecture of Downtown Troy.
This book tells the stories behind the many handsome and significant buildings in downtown Troy and how they were designed and constructed—stories that have never been pulled together before. For the first time in generations, scores of Troy buildings are again linked with their architects, some local but others from out of town (the “starchitects” of their day) and even from Europe. In addition to numerous historic images, the book also includes contemporary photographs by local photographer Gary Gold. This book will inform, delight, and surprise readers, thereby helping to build an educated constituency for the preservation of an important American city.
There will be light snacks and cash bar. This event is sponsored by The University Club Foundation and one need not be a member to attend, but reservations are requested:
mfahy@universityclubalbany.com or 518-463-1151.

The UClub is proud to welcome Andreas Karelis
to talk about his new book
Climate Courage: How Tackling Climate Change Can Build Community, Transform the Economy, and Bridge the Political Divide in America
Wednesday, June 23, 6:00 –8:00 P.M.
Andreas Karelis has a message we don’t often hear: We have all the tools we need to solve the climate crisis and doing so will improve our lives, our economy, and our
society.
But to engage people in the climate fight, we need stories that are empowering, inclusive, and solutions-oriented, not based in fear. Karelis digs into the latest data on the
rapidly falling costs and increased efficiencies of clean energy technologies compared to fossil fuels, looks at the rate of job creation in the clean energy sector, and introduces the reader to the inspiring work of climate heroes on both sides of the aisle—from Republican mayors and governors to activists, from businesses to faith communities.
Climate Courage shows us how we can move past our collective inaction on climate change and work together in our communities to create a more sustainable, just, clean energy–powered economy that works for
everyone.
