Beam Me Up Scotty: Mobile Technology & Travel

This Saturday, May 19, at 2 p.m. at the Long Hill Library:

Remember when Star Trek transporters seemed like an impossible dream for the far off future? Although we may not be beaming up like Captain Kirk or Mr. Spock yet, Smart phones, GPS and Google Maps have had a huge impact on present-day travel.

How does technology change the way we explore and travel? A fascinating field known as human geography sets out to explore this and other questions basic to how we live in today’s world.

Dr. Sean DiGiovanna will talk about how human geography research can contribute to our understanding of the way teenagers interact with technology and develop their way-finding skills.

A study he conducted at Watchung Hills High School with students sheds some light on the use of mobile technology among teenagers and also raises some interesting questions about whether these sophisticated mobile technologies actually stimulate or inhibit teenagers from exploring the world around them.

Sean DiGiovanna has a B.A. in geography from The Johns Hopkins University (1991) and received a National Science Foundation fellowship to support his Ph.D in geography from the University of Toronto (1997). Dr. DiGiovanna currently teaches U.S. history, human geography and economics at
Watchung Hills, where he also serves as president of the Watchung Hills Regional Education Association.

This event is sponsored by Watchung Hills Regional Education Association (WHREA) and the Long Hill Township library.

Murder, Mystery & the FBI with Andrea Kane at Long Hill Library - April 30 @ 7pm

Andrea Kane, a New York Times best selling author, will be at the Long Hill Township Library on Monday, April 30 at 7:00pm.

In addition to talking about mysteries and forensics, Ms. Kane will discuss her work with the FBI which helps creates realism in her novels. Who doesn't find the FBI fascinating!

Please join us for what will be a lively event. Please register for "Murder, Mystery & the FBI with Andrea Kane" by contacting the Long Hill Library, 917 Valley Road, Gillette, NJ, 07933 (phone 908-647-2088).

Andrea’s psychological thriller, THE GIRL WHO DISAPPEARED TWICE, became an instant New York Times bestseller, continuing her long string of smash hits. It debuted Forensic Instincts, an eclectic team of maverick investigators, each with different talents and personalities, all with one common bond—a blatant disregard for authority. THE MAN WITHOUT A FACE is the encore novel in the Forensic Instincts series. Armed with skills and talents honed by years in the FBI, Special Forces, and training in behavioral and forensic psychology, the Forensic Instincts team solves seemingly impossible cases while walking a fine line between assisting and enraging law enforcement.

With a worldwide following and novels translated into more than twenty languages, Kane is also the author of eight additional psychological thrillers and fourteen historical romances. She lives in New Jersey with her family, where she is conspiring with Forensic Instincts on new ways to disrupt the status quo.
