[Bob Eaton]

Please forward this announcement:
 
*An Unreasonable Man <http://www.anunreasonableman.com/>* will be at The 
*Gilson Theater*, 354 Main St., Winsted *Monday May 14*, 7:00 p.m.  
*Ralph Nader will be present* for Q&A and book signing before and after

  ** Known for his lifetime of progressive activism and fearless critique of
 corruption in American "politics and society" and most recently named
 one of the "Top 100 Most Influential Figures in American History" by the
 Atlantic Monthly Ralph Nader's fascinating legal and political career
 has made him one of the nation's most controversial public figures. But
 what about his private life? In New York Times Best selling: THE
 SEVENTEEN TRADITIONS Ralph Nader, the author of Crashing the Party and
 The Good Fight reflects on his serene and enriching childhood in rural
 Winsted, Connecticut, and on the life-sustaining principles he learned
 from his family and his community at large.
 
 For those who have followed Ralph Nader's fascinating career, THE
 SEVENTEEN TRADITIONS offers long-awaited insight into this unforgettable
 public figure's past and the impact it has had on the person he is
 today. In his warmest and most personal writing to date, Nader fondly
 describes his father's restaurant business and how it taught him about
 work, community and how to share in the spirits of others; the value of
 his mother's ethnic cooking and its relationship with his heritage, and
 the hours he spent as a child wandering through the undeveloped forests
 of Connecticut where he learned the value of solitude. Blending memoir
 and thoughtful inspiration, and drawing from them inspiring lessons for
 today's society, Nader offers readers a chance to look back on a time in
 American history when the family and the natural world were central to a
 child's understanding of how to become a conscientious adult.
 
 From listening to learning, patriotism to argument; from work to simple
 enjoyment, Nader's SEVENTEEN TRADITIONS reawakens our own memories of
 the blessings of a simpler time and of the enduring values of family,
 community, and love.
 
 About the author: Ralph Nader, the son of immigrants from Lebanon, was
 raised in a small town in Connecticut. In his career he has launched two
 major presidential campaigns and founded or organized more than 100
 civic organizations. His groups have made an impact on tax reform,
 atomic power regulation, the tobacco industry, renewable energy, clean
 air and water, food safety, auto safety, safety in the workplace, access
 to healthcare, civil rights, civil justice, Congressional ethics,
