MITCASA has a book club in San Antonio. We focus on popular STEM non-fiction or hard-science science fiction (not hard to read, but science-oriented) that will fit into our busy lives (no textbooks, Ph.D. theses, or thousand-page novels). We can choose other subjects, too. Each month, we’ll choose books for the following month by consensus.

The thirteenth meeting will be on Monday, May 19, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. We’ll meet at Rome’s Pizza at 5999 De Zavala Road, San Antonio, TX 78249. Rome’s Pizza has counter service featuring salad’s, pasta, sandwiches, desserts, and ... wait for it … pizza.

This month’s book is The Wood Age: How One Material Shaped the Whole of Human History by biology professor Roland Ennos. It is available from Amazon in paperback and hardcover form. It is also available from the San Antonio Public Library under a different title, The Age of Wood, in book, eBook, and audiobook form.

From the Amazon description:

Roland Ennos’ The Wood Age is a love-letter to the world’s most vital and yet most threatened material. It is the story of how wood has shaped our human experience from the earliest foragers to the modern four poster bed.

‘A stunning book on the incalculable debt humanity owes wood…’ John Carey, The Sunday Times

In a journey to appreciate how much wood matters – and has done since prehistory – Roland Ennos takes the reader chronologically through four key phases: the impact of wooded habits on the lives of primates; human emergence and the discoveries of fire and woodwork; wood’s role in an environment both pre- and post-industrialisation; and lastly, the possible future of wood in an
increasingly technologized world.

In an original and essential investigation, The Wood Age challenges the traditional model of
historical development – stone, bronze, iron – and instead guide readers through a revealing and
innovative wooded history of the world.

Rooms for the Marriott family Moxy and Residence Inn hotels were available through at least April 23rd via a contingent; contingent rates may still be available. Book your group rate for MIT Club of Germany

If you'd like to stay somewhere else, we recommend you make sure to book as soon as possible as hotels will fill up and become more expensive as the event draws closer. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Frankfurt, we would suggest avoiding the area close to the Hauptbahnhof. 

For the foodies among you, we have coordinated with top local restaurants, for example: 

• Margarete: "In the heart of Frankfurt's Old Town, right near the Römer and surrounded by museums and galleries, lies Margarete – a place characterized by urban flair and warm hospitality. Our philosophy is simple: We want you to have a great time with us! Whether as guests in the bistro or enjoying a five-course menu in the restaurant, while shopping in the Magazin, or when planning your event with us." (Credit: Margarete website) 
• Oosten Realwirtschaft am Main: "‘Fooding am Main’ combines high-quality food with a modern, cultural lifestyle. In the centre of Frankfurt, we are creating a unique environment where innovative cuisine, local ingredients and a relaxed atmosphere come together. It is an invitation to experience and celebrate culinary delights in all their facets." (Credit: Oosten website) 

Frankfurt is a vibrant city with plenty to do for everyone. If you have time in Frankfurt beyond the AGM, perhaps one or more of the following may be of interest to you:  

• The Senckenberg Natural History Museum has been highly recommended by one of our alums for both adults and children 
• If the Senckenberg isn't quite your style, you have 38 more museums to choose from -- all part of the Museumsufer Frankfurt (although not all are directly on the riverbank) representing nationally and internationally important museums and art galleries  
• Römerberg, the heart of the medieval "Altstadt" is always worth a visit, even though the beautiful half-timber buildings you view today are mostly reconstructed
• Palmengarten, the Frankfurt Botanical Garden, is likely to be an exceptional draw with the typically-mild temperatures of late May  

Please purchase your AGM tickets as soon as possible, but no later than Sunday, May 18th.

If you plan to attend any or all of the optional events, please make sure to add the items to your reservation as well: 

• Friday, 14:00: Tour of the Deutsche Bahn ICE Maintenance Facility
• Friday, 18:30: Informal dinner at "Zu den 12 Aposteln" on personal tabs (optional) 
• Sunday, 10:00: Exhibition "Aufbruch und Wandel - das neue Frankfurt und die Gegenwart" at the Deutsches Architekturmuseum
