DESCRIPTION:Please join the MIT Press Bookstore in welcoming Daniel Jackson
 \, photographer and Professor of Computer Science at MIT\, to discuss and 
 sign copies of Portraits of Resilience. He will be joined by Caterina Colo
 n\, Victor Morales\, and Sally Lee\, individuals who are profiled in the b
 ook. This event is free to attend\, and copies of the book will be availab
 le at a 20% discount.\n\nAbout Portraits of Resilience:\n\nMore than 15 mi
 llion Americans grapple with depression in a given year\, and 40 million a
 re affected by anxiety disorders. And yet these people are often invisible
 \, hidden\, unacknowledged. At once a photo essay and a compendium of life
  stories\, Portraits of Resilience brings us face to face with twenty-two 
 extraordinary individuals\, celebrating the wisdom they have gained on the
  frontline of a contemporary battle.\n\nNo one is immune to depression or 
 anxiety\; all of these narrators achieved success as students\, faculty\, 
 or staff in the demanding world of MIT. The pressures of a competitive and
  high-pressure environment will be familiar to many. And the mysterious an
 d overwhelming grip of depression will be recognized by those who have suf
 fered from it. But the search for purpose and meaning that pervades these 
 stories is relevant to everyone. These wise people give us not only solace
  and reassurance as we face our own challenges\, but also the inspiration 
 that challenges can be overcome—and that happiness\, while elusive\, can
  eventually be found.
