WORLD’S BODY

   Eve Ensler’s memoir "In the Body of the World" reflects her devotion to enlightening the world about the female body.

Soon after, she is diagnosed with uterine cancer, and during months of treatment she is forced to become first and foremost a body.

EYES ON THE MARSHMALLOW

   Joachim de Posada’s "Keep Your Eye on the Marshmallow" details the economic implications of the marshmallow theory. This theory is based on the experiment where children were left alone with a marshmallow and told that if they didn’t eat it they would receive an additional marshmallow in 15 minutes. Years later, researchers discovered that the children who had chosen to wait grew up to become more successful adults than the children who had eaten their marshmallows immediately. 8 p.m. Books & Books, 265 Aragon Ave., Coral Gables. Details: (305) 442-4408 or www.booksandbooks.com.

NUCLEAR MYTHS

   Ward Wilson’s "Five Myths about Nuclear Weapons" is a study aiming to show why five central arguments promoting nuclear weapons are myths. The myths are: nuclear weapons necessarily shock and awe opponents, including Japan at the end of World War II; that nuclear deterrence is reliable in a crisis; that destruction wins wars; that the bomb has kept peace for 65 years; and that we can’t put the nuclear genie back in the bottle. 8 p.m. Books & Books, 265 Aragon Ave., Coral Gables. Details: (305) 442-4408 or www.booksandbooks.com.
