    Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.

    But like science, life is unpredictable. Which is why a few years later Elizabeth Zott finds herself not only a single mother, but the reluctant star of America’s most beloved cooking show Supper at Six. Elizabeth’s unusual approach to cooking (“combine one tablespoon acetic acid with a pinch of sodium chloride”) proves revolutionary. But as her following grows, not everyone is happy. Because as it turns out, Elizabeth Zott isn’t just teaching women to cook. She’s daring them to change the status quo.

    Laugh-out-loud funny, shrewdly observant, and studded with a dazzling cast of supporting characters, Lessons in Chemistry is as original and vibrant as its protagonist.

    The author (left) with his Congressman, Democrat Jim McGovern, at a constituent coffee in Amherst. They discussed the status of the Build America’s Libraries Act (see Epilogue in book).


    Thomas Johnson Jr. author of Common Place: The Public Library, Civil Society and Early American Values, tells the story of the first public libraries in America, all of which were founded in New England through civil society efforts, their current operation and future.  Even today, many public libraries across America are run by non-governmental organizations, including those in Amherst, Holyoke and Northampton.

         Lynn Griesemer, Ed.D., M.P.A., M.A. has had a remarkable career working in Higher Education administration, public policy, research, and evaluation.  In 2018 she retired after serving for 31 years with the UMass Donahue Institute.  During that time, Dr. Griesemer served as the Associate Vice President for Economic Development at the UMass President’s Office for 25 years and Executive Director of the UMass Donahue Institute for 19 years.

         Prior to joining the University, Dr. Griesemer was the Executive Director of the Northeast Regional Exchange, a seven-state, non-profit collaborative in education for New England and New York. At the University of Rhode Island, she also held a faculty position and was the director of an education research and evaluation center.  

         Dr. Griesemer's first professional job was teaching mathematics, science, and history at the middle and high school level. Since retiring from the University, she has served as President of the Amherst Town Council and represents District 2.  Her volunteer work includes The Amherst Survival Center, the Girl Scouts of Central and Western Mass, and the Women’s Fund of Western Mass.
