Author Daniel E. Van Tassel, PhD, will present a talk about his newest book, Journey by the Book: A Guide to Tales of Travel, (a book about books with travel as their theme and inspiration). Books will be available for sale and signing after the program. (Cash or Check). Dr. Van Tassel graduated from St. Olaf College and earned his M.A. and PhD degrees in literature from the University of Iowa. He has taught at Pacific Lutheran University, California State University San Marcos and Muskingum College. He has written several scholarly publications, and book reviews, and his previous book, Back to Barron, "a chronicle of growing up in a small-town-and-rural mid-century America." Van Tassel is now retired and living in Northfield, but teaches courses in the Cannon Valley Elder Collegium program, along with pursuing his interests of travel literature, architecture, ecology, mountain biking, swimming, local theatre, home restoration, and decorating.
