April Book Talk with Mau van Duren

On April 13, 2016, the U.S. Capitol Historical Society will host a book talk with Mau van Duren, author of Many Heads and Many Hands: James Madison’s Search for a More Perfect Union. The event will be held at 200 Maryland Ave. NE, Washington, DC 20002 from noon to 1 pm and is free and open to the public. Pre-registration is requested.
Van Duren’s work examines foundational ideas contributing to American democracy, specifically the Constitution. “This lively and entertaining book begins a much-needed conversation about the modern history that our Founders knew so well and which our generation has largely forgotten,” says Dr. Lynn Uzzell, Scholar in Residence at Montpelier. Many Heads and Many Hands traces those threads as far back as medieval Europe.
