About the artist:
Cynthia De Losa, Mexican-Italian, third generation native San Franciscan. Daughter of Joe De Losa, retired
Teamster and Connie De Losa, Interior designer. Born at Mary's Help Hospital on Clinton Park, November 5.
Inspired early in life by her Grandmother Juanita Romero, who instilled in her strong values, determination
and creativity.

While shopping at her corner store in Noe Valley she saw a bubble gum machine with individual "Homie"
figurines, she then purchased some shadow boxes and the IDEA was born.

Her style of Art showcases an event capturing the spirit of the "Homies", depicting her neighborhood and
places where she grew up and spent time. This media known as "Diorama" is similar to the "Niche concept",
popular in Mexican Folk Art. Cynthia brings this concept to life together with the "Homie" figurines and photo
backgrounds.

She has also owned the "One Stop Party Shop", worked as an Interior Designer and Property Stager. In addition,
she worked many years for United Airlines, which gave her the opportunity to travel the world.

Cynthia has a son, Alberto Alvarado and a granddaughter, Maria Juanita, the apple of her eye.

Cynthia thanks her Homegirls & Homeboys for joining her in this celebration of "Urban Culture and the Homies".

"Landscapes and Cycles" Book Event with Author Jim Steele, Oct. 20th, 2-4pm at Florey's!

Florey's Books welcomes author Jim Steele as he discusses his new book: "Landscapes and Cycles: An Environmentalist's Journey to Climate Skepticism"

***Sunday, Oct. 20th, 2-4pm***

About the Book:

For 25 years, as director of San Francisco State University’s Sierra Nevada Field Campus, Jim Steele has opened the eyes and ears of countless students to the magic of California’s Sierra Nevada. His first book, Landscapes and Cycles, An Environmentalist’s Journey to Climate Skepticism will likewise open your minds. It compares the effects of landscape changes, natural cycles and climate change on polar bears, whales, walruses, penguins, frogs, pika, butterflies and marine ecosystems. Although it is wise to think globally, all wildlife reacts locally and all regions of the earth have been behaving very differently from what a globally averaged statistic might suggest. Despite media horror stories, many species have benefitted from recent climate change. Those species that are struggling have invariably been affected by issues other than climate change and require very different remedies. Controlling our carbon footprints will never address the most pressing issues of habitat loss and watershed degradation. Landscapes and Cycles juxtaposes environmental optimism and with concern.

It celebrates the work of conservationists and scientists whose tireless efforts have enabled the full recovery of a great many species. On the other hand it presents withering criticism against the politicization of climate change and those who have hijacked key environmental issues to the detriment of good environmental stewardship. Steele highlights how faulty science and bad models have misguided critical conservation efforts and misrepresented conservation success. Most distressing Landscapes and Cycles reveals how global warming advocates have opposed appropriate conservation efforts simply because the concerned scientists did not blame climate change. Landscapes and Cycles demystifies both climate science and conservation science in a manner easily understood by everyone. In easily grasped terms Steele explains how natural cycles can cause abrupt climate change and extreme weather events and how those events affect wildlife. If we want to be good stewards of the environment, understanding those natural cycles are essential.

"Killer Weed" Book Event with Author Michael Castleman, Oct. 19th at Florey's!

Florey's Books welcomes author Michael Castleman as he discusses his new mystery novel "Killer Weed"

***Saturday, Oct. 19th, 2-4pm***

About the Book:

While run­ning for mayor of San Fran­cisco, a for­mer pot dealer and author of best-selling guides to grow­ing weed is assassi­nated. For­mer news­pa­per­man, Ed Rosen­berg is hired to find out what hap­pened to a tech billionaire’s birth mother who was a small-time mar­i­juana dealer shot to death in Golden Gate Park in an unsolved 1968 mur­der. His research about the Haight-Ashbury’s tie-dyed past illu­mi­nates that sto­ried era, and intro­duces him to a rogue’s gallery of aging hip­pies, who, he real­izes, may have been involved in the candidate’s mur­der. Then some­one starts shoot­ing at him…..Killer Weed is a fast-paced, inge­niously plot­ted novel with char­ac­ters so real you’ll want to turn on, tune in, and drop everything to reach the sur­pris­ing, deeply sat­is­fy­ing con­clu­sion.

About the Author:

Michael Castleman grew up in Lynbrook, a Long Island suburb of New York City. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa for the University of Michigan with a degree in English, and earned a Masters in journalism from UC Berkeley. He has lived in San Francisco since 1975. An award-winning medical journalist, he is the author of twelve consumer health and sexuality books. He has published three previous Ed Rosenberg novels.
