These high-end concierge style excursions are sure to impress and delight you.

INSIDER’S JAPAN May 18 - 30, 2022

It’s a land of delicate art and bustling commerce, of rich traditions and dizzying modernity; a jumble of sights, sounds, and tastes that for visitors are truly foreign – and truly fascinating. This well-crafted tour features the highlights of Tokyo and Kyoto, engages us in local life, and takes us off the beaten path to the lovely historic cities of Takayama and Kanazawa.

CANADIAN ROCKIES EXPLORER With Glacier National Park, August 17 – 27, 2022

One of North America’s great unspoiled wildernesses, the Canadian Rockies offer bountiful rewards for outdoor-loving travelers. While staying in unique mountain lodges, we ride in Glacier National Park’s famed Red Jammers, visit cerulean Lake Louise, and set foot on Athabasca Glacier. Amid stunning alpine scenery, it’s a feast for the eyes – and the spirit.

NORTHERN ITALY From the Alps to the Adriatic, August 24 – September 7, 2022

This leisurely exploration of Italy’s varied northern regions, from the romantic Lake District and dramatic Cinque Terre to beloved Tuscany, the majestic Dolomites, and canal-laced Venice, offers a refreshing perspective on a well-known land. In the company of our congenial small group, we celebrate the Italian penchant for hospitality, good food, and good living. In a word, splendido!

PROVINCIAL FRENCH COUNTRYSIDE August 26 – September 9, 2022

Experience the beauty, allure, and hospi¬tality of provincial France, at an easy pace and in a unique style. Anchored by stays in vibrant Toulouse and enchanting Paris, the journey features diverse Languedoc, the remote Dordogne, the lovely Loire Valley, and historic Normandy as we stay in charming rural inns and small country hotels. It’s a small group tour de force!

MACHU PICCHU TO THE GALAPAGOS September 13 – 28, 2022

They rank as two of South America’s greatest treasures, and a small group tour is the natural selection for both: the enigmatic ruins at Machu Picchu, where we overnight at an intimate on-site hotel; and the fascinating Galapagos Islands, Darwin’s “living laboratory,” for a four-night island-based adventure.

CLASSIC SAFARI: KENYA & TANZANIA September 25 – October 10, 2022

“On safari” … it’s one of the most alluring phrases in all of travel. And Kenya and Tanzania count among the most alluring places to be “on safari.” As our small group travels from grasslands to highlands, to reserves and national parks, we enjoy intimate game drives, see stupendous landscapes, stay in excellent accommodations, and meet gracious local people.

LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR Dear Friends: I am very excited and pleased that winter/spring 2022 will mark a return to in-person Academy programs at 15 locations throughout Collier, Lee and Charlotte counties. Our newest locations in Charlotte include the Military Heritage Museum in downtown Punta Gorda and Babcock Ranch. In Lee County, Cypress Cove, The Collaboratory and Pelican Landing will host programs in addition to The Commons Club at the Brooks and FGCU Main Campus. Of course, we are also thrilled about the opening of our new home in Collier county, the FGCU Naples Center located at 704 Goodlette-Frank Rd N., Suite 330. Other new locations in Collier include Siena Lakes in north Naples and Moorings Park Grande Lake in southeast Naples. Many of our offerings are also available online for those who wish to participate from the comfort and convenience of home. We have assembled a rich and diverse set of offerings for you this season. I hope you will join us. Please register online at fgcuacademy.asapconnected.com or by calling our offices at 239-434-4737. The Winter/Spring 2022 program guide is available at local libraries and online. I would ask you to help spread the word about our lifelong learning programs by downloading a copy and sharing it with friends and family. Word-of-mouth is our best form of advertising! The pandemic has been difficult and painful in many ways, but financially it has dealt a serious blow to the Academy. I ask that you consider supporting lifelong learning this season through the purchase of a membership or through a donation. The Academy’s program fees only cover a fraction of our operating costs. We rely on memberships and donations to carry us the rest of the way. Without your support, this vital community outreach program would not be possible. Lastly, we have assembled six remarkable excursions for 2022 which will offer travel adventures to Asia, North and South America and Europe. For those of you ready to travel the world again, these memorable destinations offer wonderful opportunities to do so.

Best regards,

John J. Guerra

ART, ARCHITECTURE & ART HISTORY Vanished! The Stories Behind Some of History’s Greatest Art Heists $25 / $30 • Option #1 – January 3 at 1:30 – 3pm, Monday BV4125 – Bentley Village (North Naples) • Option #2 – May 6 at 2:30 – 4pm, Friday AR4126 – The Arlington (Southeast Naples) Speaker: Carol Jonson

Choose one of the course options above. How did the iconic Egyptian bust of Nefertiti end up in Berlin’s Neues Museum and the Parthenon’s beautiful Elgin Marbles in the British Museum? Where was Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa stashed when she went missing from the Louvre for two years? Will the eerily empty frames hanging on the walls of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston ever have their priceless paintings recovered and reinstalled? These are just a few of the mysteries you will hear answered in this intriguefilled lecture on History’s Greatest Art Heists. The Pre-Raphaelites: Defiant Art…Dangerous Lives $25 / $30 • Option #1 – January 10 at 10 – 11:30am, Monday MP4127 – Moorings Park (South Naples) • Option #2 – February 16 at 1:30 – 3pm, Wednesday NC4128 – FGCU Naples Center OL4681 – Online via Zoom • Option #3 – March 25 at 1:30 – 3pm, Friday GL4129 – Moorings Park Grande Lake (Southeast Naples) Speaker: Carol Jonson Choose one of the course options above. In 1848, seven young English artists formed a secret brotherhood determined to modernize and reinvigorate art. They looked to the past – ancient Greece and Rome, the Middle Ages and the Early Renaissance – for inspiration and rejected the prevailing idea that great art began with the High Renaissance painter, Raphael. This lecture will explore some of the gloriously colored and dramatically themed works of art – as well as the “scandalous” lives – of the Pre-Raphaelite painters including John Everett Millais, William Holman Hunt, Evelyn De Morgan, Frederick Sandys, John William Waterhouse, and most famously, Dante Gabriel Rossetti. American Impressionists: At Home and Abroad $25 / $30 • Option #1 – January 18 at 2:30 – 4pm, Tuesday AR4130 – The Arlington (Southeast Naples) • Option #2 – April 11 at 10 – 11:30am, Monday NC4131 – FGCU Naples Center OL4132 – Online via Zoom Speaker: Carol Jonson Choose one of the course options above. Impressionism began in France in the 1870s and proved to be a remarkable inspiration for American artists from the late 1880s until nearly1920. This lecture will discuss American artists who spent time studying abroad and others like James McNeil Whistler, John Singer Sargent and Mary Cassatt who remained expats for the rest of their lives. Others returned home, often uniting for summers in east coast art colonies to develop a distinctly American Impressionist style. These include Childe Hassam, William Merritt Chase and Matilda Browne, often called “America’s Forgotten Female Impressionist.”

Captured on Canvas: Comparing the Paintings and Styles of Monet & Cezanne $25 / $30 • Option #1 – January 19 at 1:30 – 3pm, Wednesday NC4133 – FGCU Naples Center OL4134 – Online via Zoom • Option #2 – April 8 at 1:30 – 3pm, Friday GL4135 – Moorings Park Grande Lake (Southeast Naples) Speaker: James Pagliaro Choose one of the course options above. The painters Claude Monet and Paul Cezanne are often broadly grouped within the pantheon of geniuses included in the Impressionist Movement. While both painted at roughly the same time in France, Monet’s fresh color palette and unique brushstrokes are quite distinguishable from the planes of color and complex, geometric forms Cezanne employed in his oeuvre. This lecture will explain the significance of the Impressionist Movement, and then examine and compare several of the iconic works by both artists. Monet’s unique use of color, weather and light will be illustrated by some of his most memorable works, while Cezanne’s movement to more abstract geometric forms will demonstrate why so many artists called him the “Father of Modern Art.” Recalling Vincent: The Many Moods, Colors and Images of Vincent Van Gogh $25 / $30 • Option #1 – January 24 at 1:30 – 3pm, Monday BV4136 – Bentley Village (North Naples) • Option #2 – March 7 at 10 – 11:30am, Monday MP4137 – Moorings Park (South Naples) • Option #3 – April 4 at 1:30 – 3pm, Monday NC4138 – FGCU Naples Center OL4139 – Online via Zoom Speaker: James Pagliaro Choose one of the course options above. Despite years of study, multiple biographies and close examination by art historians, Vincent Van Gogh still seems an enigma, slightly out of reach. His short and sometimes tragic life, his voluminous letters and the comments of his peers, are a treasure trove for art historians, but it is only through a close examination of his art that the real Vincent emerges. Using some of his greatest and best-loved works, this lecture will examine the life of Van Gogh, his personal struggles, his development as an artist, and the rich and beautiful images he has left behind as his greatest legacy. Join us for the “Many Moods, Colors and Images of Vincent Van Gogh.” Women in Art I: Prehistory to the Byzantine Age – Goddess to Guide $28 / $33 January 31 at 1:30 – 3:30pm, Monday BV4140 – Bentley Village (North Naples) Speaker: Genie Kell Explore the early evolution of art as we specifically examine the images of women appearing in a multitude of roles – mysterious totem, powerful goddess, seductive vamp, stately queen, trusted wife and beloved icon. We examine how art reflects the ascending and descending fortunes of women in the ever-changing cultures and societies through more than 30,000 years of dynamic history.

Paul Gauguin: An Artist’s Quest for the Exotic $25 / $30 February 3 at 1:30 – 3pm, Thursday NC4141 – FGCU Naples Center OL4718 – Online via Zoom Speaker: Carol Jonson Paul Gauguin, the French stockbroker turned artist, was always in search of the exotic. Although he began his artistic career working in an Impressionist style, he soon abandoned that to paint brightly colored pictures of quaintly attired peasants in Brittany. He then moved on briefly to Arles where his disastrous visit with Vincent van Gogh took place. Finally, he spent the last 10 years of his life in Tahiti and French Polynesia where he found the exotic colors, people and lifestyle he sought. As his works became more monumental, primitive and spiritual, he paved the way for future artists working in what today is known as the Symbolist Movement. Revolution in Rome: The Power, Grandeur & Drama of Baroque Art $25 / $30 February 18 at 2:30 – 4pm, Friday AR4142 – The Arlington (Southeast Naples) Speaker: James Pagliaro The Baroque Era inspired unique architecture, painting, sculpture, music and other arts that flourished in Europe starting in the early 17th Century and continuing for almost 150 years. The almost “over the top” epic panoramas, the energetic and dramatic narratives, and the emotional impact of Baroque art still pack a powerful punch. Initially encouraged by the Catholic Church as a contrast to the simplicity and austerity of Protestantism, it took on a life of its own with the most amazing designs in buildings, and an explosion of creativity in sculpture, painting and music. This lecture explores the origins and characteristics of this artistic style and examines some of the great artistic achievements of its most famous practitioners. We will examine works by Caravaggio, Poussin, Rubens, Bernini, Borromini and Gentileschi, among others, and explore what makes this unusual genre of creativity and inventiveness so compelling to modern audiences. Women in Art: Journey from Passive Presence to Active Participant (4-part series) $80 / $92 February 21, 28, March 7, 14 at 1:30 – 3:30pm, Mondays NC4143 – FGCU Naples Center Speaker: Genie Kell This lecture explores images of women in Western Art from the Ancient Period to French Impressionism as we discover how the perception of the female element has evolved. From mysterious totem to powerful goddess, from stately ruler to demure chattel, from chaste householder to elegant lady, from brazen courtesan to independent worker and finally to celebrated artist. Whether as wives, mothers, daughters, sisters, slaves, queens, amazons, concubines, furies, sirens or saints, all images of women reflect the culture of the times. We follow the journey of self-discovery womankind has experienced.

Leonardo Da Vinci – The First Renaissance Man $25 / $30 February 22 at 1:30 – 3pm, Tuesday SL4144 – Siena Lakes (North Naples) Speaker: Dean Oestreich Leonardo was born to an unwed orphan girl and died with the king of France at his bedside. He lacked a formal education, but due to his intense curiosity and observation skills, he pursued engineering, architecture, music, flight, anatomy and optics solely for the love of knowledge. He was a genius that wanted to know everything about everything. This lecture will discuss his personal life, drawings, inventions and incredible works of art that still resonate today. Art and Intrigue in 17th Century Naples $25 / $30 • Option #1 – March 16 at 1:30 – 3pm, Wednesday NC4145 – FGCU Naples Center OL4719 – Online via Zoom • Option #2 – April 18 at 10 – 11:30am, Monday MP4146 – Moorings Park (South Naples) Speaker: Carol Jonson Choose one of the course options above. Naples, Italy in the 17th century was a magnet for artists who found willing patrons in the Spanish viceroys who ruled the region. Among the first of those Baroque-era artists to arrive was Caravaggio, and his naturalistic style created a sensation. His devotees – the “Caravaggisti” – soon followed. One was the Spaniard, Jusepe Ribera of Valencia who delighted not only in painting gruesome martyrdom scenes, but also in heading an infamous, ruthless and tyrannical cabal that controlled who would be allowed to paint in Naples. Two of Ribera’s pupils, Salvator Rosa and Luca Giordano would also become important champions of Neapolitan painting. A final jewel in the crown was Artemisia Gentileschi, a rare female painter whose works today are on display in some of the world’s most important museums. Johannes Vermeer – His Life and Art $25 / $30 March 21 at 10 – 11:30am, Monday MP4147 – Moorings Park (South Naples) Speaker: Dean Oestreich During his life, Vermeer was overshadowed by fellow Dutch Masters; Rembrandt and Hals. It wasn’t until years after his death that his brilliant use of color, light and mood became recognized. This lecture reviews Vermeer’s thirty-five known paintings, as well as a few infamous forgeries. Vermeer’s “Art of Painting” and “Girl with a Pitcher” will show the possible “Traditional” process used to create these masterpieces. Japonisme: The Influence of Japanese Art $25 / $30 March 22 at 2:30 – 4pm, Tuesday GO4148 – Moorings Park Grey Oaks (South Naples) Speaker: Carol Jonson When the Japanese opened their ports to the West in 1854, after nearly two centuries of isolation, Japanese goods of all types – from porcelains, silks and fans to woodblock prints – reached the shores of Europe and America and created a sensation. It was a craze called “Japonisme,” and its ideas and techniques revolutionized the fine and decorative arts of the 19th and early 20th centuries. This lecture explores this phenomenon and its impact on the Impressionism and Post Impressionism periods.

Pathway to the Italian Renaissance: The Legacy of Giotto and the Magnificence of Masaccio (2-part series) $46 / $56 March 28, 30 at 1:30 – 3pm, Monday/Wednesday NC4149 – FGCU Naples Center OL4720 – Online via Zoom Speaker: James Pagliaro Participants may register for the series above (NC4149 or OL4120) or for either of the individual lectures below. When most people think of the Italian Renaissance, they envision the works of the great masters of the 15th century High Renaissance, artists like Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo di Buonarroti and Raphael. Ever wonder who paved the way for their achievements? This lecture examines the artists who preceded them and most influenced their works. • The Legacy of Giotto $25 / $30 March 28 at 1:30 – 3pm, Monday NC4150 – FGCU Naples Center OL4721 – Online via Zoom This lecture examines the achievements of Giotto di Bondone, known as Giotto (1267-1337), a Florentine painter and architect of the late Middle Ages. Considered a master of the late Gothic and Proto-Renaissance period, a contemporary chronicler called Giotto, “the most sovereign master of painting in his time, who drew all his figures and their posture according to nature.” • The Magnificence of Masaccio $25 / $30 March 30 at 1:30 – 3pm, Wednesday NC4151 – FGCU Naples Center OL4722 – Online via Zoom This lecture focuses on Tommaso Cassai, known as Masaccio (1401-1428), who took Italian painting a step beyond the late Gothic, to create a naturalistic mode, linear perspective and chiaroscuro for even greater realism. His lifelike frescoes in the Brancacci Chapel in Florence are considered the dawn of the Early Italian Renaissance in painting. Take a virtual trip to Medieval Italy and join us in exploring the beautiful, innovative and powerful artistic works of Masaccio. Canterbury Tales: City and Cathedral $25 / $30 March 29 at 1:30 – 3pm, Tuesday SL4152 – Siena Lakes (North Naples) Speaker: Carol Jonson Canterbury has been one of England’s important landmarks for more than 1400 years. Its beautiful cathedral, built as a labor of love by skilled but now nameless craftsmen over centuries, was the site of the martyrdom of Archbishop Thomas Becket, propelling it into a center of pilgrimage. This lecture will explore the building of the cathedral and the many legends associated with it. Women in Art II: Pre-Raphaelites to Cubists – Mistress to Feminist $28 / $33 April 25 at 1:30 – 3:30pm, Monday BV4153 – Bentley Village (North Naples) Speaker: Genie Kell Explore the evolution of art as we examine the works of female artists who first fell under the influence of their male lovers and mentors and then evolved into independent innovators whose work reflected the rapid changes in society and politics from the mid-nineteenth century to the dynamic twentieth century. Their work commented on life from the specific point of view

of women and reflected the challenges they faced and the triumphs experienced as they carried out the many and varied roles of the modern woman. Inside AMERICA’S Great Museums: The Detroit Institute of Arts $25 / $30 May 26 at 10 – 11:30am, Thursday BV4154 – Bentley Village (North Naples) Speaker: Carol Jonson The encyclopedic collection of the Detroit Institute of Arts ranks among America’s top dozen museums. Founded during the Motor City’s boom days, the museum has a rich collection of Old Master paintings but is especially known for its collection of American art. It also was the first museum in the U.S. to acquire a painting by Van Gogh (it now has four, plus many other Impressionist and Post-Impressionist works). The museum is equally famous for its Industry Murals painted by Mexican artist, Diego Rivera.

BIOGRAPHIES

Where would England be today had Elizabeth I not become queen? A lesser ruler might have succumbed to the conflicting demands of political factions. A lesser personality might have indulged personal whims at the cost of ministerial respect. Against great odds – her father ordered her mother’s execution; she had no husband; she produced no heir; and her cousin plotted her assassination. Elizabeth nevertheless tackled religious strife, political divisions, court intrigue and war, to guide England to a state of unity and prosperity. Edgar Allen Poe: American Intelligence Officer $25 / $30 • Option #1 – January 27 at 1:30 – 3pm, Thursday NC4158 – FGCU Naples Center OL4724 – Online via Zoom • Option #2 – February 21 at 10 – 11:30am, Monday MP4159 – Moorings Park (South Naples) • Option #3 – April 12 at 2:30 – 4pm, Tuesday AR4160 – The Arlington (Southeast Naples) Speaker: Jeffrey Steinberg Choose one of the course options above. This lecture will cover Poe’s little-known career as a U.S. intelligence officer, operating in Europe during the 1830s. We will discuss his family background (his grandfather was Quartermaster General to General Lafayette during the American Revolution), his training in intelligence, and his collaboration with James Fenimore Cooper, Samuel Morse and Alexandre Dumas in attempting to spread the republican ideas of the American Revolution in Europe following the Napoleonic Wars.

King Solomon’s Mind $25 / $30 • Option #1 – February 2 at 10 – 11:30am, Wednesday MP4161 – Moorings Park (South Naples) • Option #2 – February 15 at 10 – 11:30am, Tuesday MM4162 – Military Heritage Museum (Punta Gorda) • Option #3 – May 19 at 1:30 – 3pm, Thursday CC4163 – Cypress Cove (Ft.

Bob Dylan: The Myth, The Man, The Music $25 / $30 February 11 at 2:30 – 4pm, Friday AR4164 – The Arlington (Southeast Naples) Speaker: Carlene Thissen One of the most influential and prolific songwriters of the 20th century, Bob Dylan has written over 500 songs recorded by more than 2,000 artists. Among many other awards and accolades, Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition.” Dylan’s enigmatic and somewhat reclusive life is a fascinating story that starts as Robert Zimmerman in Hibbing, Minnesota. He began performing at an early age and continues to perform today, preferring small venues with other artists like Willie Nelson. This lecture will discuss his personal history, including his lifelong relationship with Joan Baez. The speaker will perform a selection of Dylan’s most influential songs. Mary Queen of Scots $25 / $30 February 14 at 1:30 – 3pm, Monday NC4165 – FGCU Naples Center OL4725 – Online via Zoom Speaker: Nancy Maxwell For love, power, intrigue and scandal you cannot beat the story of Mary Stuart! She was Queen of Scotland at six days old, Queen of France at sixteen, and had events gone as planned, Scotland would today be a part of France. Mary fully expected to become Queen of England as well. Instead in a tragic twist of fate, Mary lost her head. Her life was one of political ambition, intrigue, love, murder, plots and deception. Did Mary create her own fate or was she a victim of much stronger outside forces? From Monk to Migrant Priest: Father Richard Sanders $25 / $30 March 11 at 1:30 – 3pm, Friday NC4166 – FGCU Naples Center Speaker: Carlene Thissen Father Richard Sanders, previously a Trappist Monk, founded Naples’ first Spanish Mission for farm workers at St. Peter the Apostle Church in 1978 and was later transferred to Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in Immokalee. He worked there alone in the early 1980s at the height of immigration of farm workers who came to plant and harvest expanding agriculture in Southwest Florida. In 1985, at age 47, he died of a heart attack and subsequent strokes. The people of Immokalee loved him so much that they petitioned the county and the diocese to allow him to be buried next to his church, where he lay for 30 years. A thousand people came to his funeral. Join us as we learn about this remarkable man’s desire to make a difference in the world. The speaker will narrate Father Sanders’ story with pictures and songs that describe the man and the people who loved him.

This lecture will explore the music catalog of Judy Collins, Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez in the historical context of events that influenced their music and the impact their music had on culture and politics. These three vastly different women, who occasionally came together to sing, had varying goals for their music and different degrees of personal social involvement in the issues of the times. We will review and discuss their music and lives, as well as their activities today. The Last of the Romanovs $25 / $30 March 23 at 1:30 – 3pm, Wednesday NC4169 – FGCU Naples Center OL4726 – Online via Zoom Speaker: Nancy Maxwell The 300-year-old Romanov dynasty, all powerful rulers of the Russian empire, came to a shocking end in 1917 as the Russian Revolution swept across the country. For some time, their story was lost, swallowed by larger world events. How did Czar Nicholas II, a gentle, family man, end up in a remote prison? What happened to his five children and their bright futures? What was the fate of the extended Romanov family? This lecture attempts to trace their story and resolve some of the mystery. Peter the Great: A Czar Larger Than Life $25 / $30 April 11 at 1:30 – 3pm, Monday NC4170 – FGCU Naples Center Speaker: Nancy Maxwell Peter the Great dragged Russia, kicking and screaming, into the seventeenth century! Peter was larger than life – a towering man with towering ambition to match and a vision of greatness for Russia. No project was too big: move the capital city! Or too small: measure the length of men’s beards! To modernize the state Peter turned his hand to every aspect of Russian life. Was he a visionary reformer or a ruthless tyrant? This lecture will explore the life and legacy of a most unusual czar.

The Legacy of J.S. Bach and His Sons: Lecture & Concert $25 / $30 January 27 at 1:30 – 3pm, Thursday MM4252 – Military Heritage Museum (Punta Gorda) Speakers: Rachel Cox / Judy Kaff The music of Johann Sebastian Bach has had a profound influence on composers and musicians to the present day. Bach, who came from a reputable lineage of church musicians, fathered twenty children, four of whom distinguished themselves as composers and musicians in their own right. The works of each of his sons bear the influence of their father, who was their mentor, while also reflecting the contemporary Roccoco and Classical styles that had supplanted the Baroque tradition. Enjoy a presentation of music by J.S. Bach and of four of his sons: Wilhelm Friedemann, Carl Phillip Emanuel, Johann Christoph Friedrich and Johann Christian. Americana: Lecture & Concert $25 / $30 February 22 at 6:30 – 8pm, Tuesday BB4253 – Babcock Ranch (Punta Gorda) Speakers: Rachel Cox / Judy Kaff Discover America’s musical heritage on this fascinating journey that explores the music of the Native Americans to the diversity of today’s popular music. Walk through time as you listen to the stories behind the indigenous peoples of North America, the world of the colonists, the influence of the music the African slaves brought to the new land, folk songs of the British Isles, the cultural import of European classical music in this emerging culture, the rise of popular music and Tin Pan Alley, Latin roots that run deep in the national heritage, and the classic American genres of jazz and rock and roll. Musical selections include the works of Amy Beach, Aaron Copland and Ruth Crawford Seeger, in addition to Irish fiddle tunes, ragtime favorites, Stephen Foster melodies, spirituals and Latin pops classics. Operas, Musical Theater and their Origins: Lecture & Concert $25 / $30 March 17 at 1:30 – 3pm, Thursday MM4254 – Military Heritage Museum (Punta Gorda) Speakers: Rachel Cox / Judy Kaff Many of the great operas and classics of musical theater began as literary ideas. The abstract power of music and its ability to inspire images of reality and connect with the human experience – attributes observed by the ancient Greeks – will be analyzed in this presentation. The ability to relate to a melody and follow its ultimate destination is similar to the development of a dramatic character. Explore how a novel or novella, poem, play, or a myth comes to life musically and how the libretto transforms the work to fit the operatic stage. Selections from the operas and musicals that will be performed include L’Orfeo, Le Mariage de Figaro, Faust, Cavalleria Rusticana, Thais, Romeo and Juliet, Les Miserables, Cats and The Phantom of the Opera.

With the conquest and colonization undertaken by Iberian nations, the face of Central and South American became a mixture of three cultures: Amerindian, Spanish and African. Explore how music was used in the colonization of the Americas by the Spanish and how European polyphony became part of the emerging culture of colonial Spain. Musical selections will feature the works of Gerardo Rodriguez, Silvestre Revueltas, Carlos Chavez, Gabriela Frank, Ernesto Lecuona, Heitor Villa-Lobos, Alberto Ginastera, Astor Piazzolla and Camila Cabello.

The wedding customs of Japan are entirely different from what you may expect. Few are truly religious in nature, and the number of those willing to marry are declining.

• Changing Demographics The world experienced remarkable demographic changes in the 20th century that continue today and have resulted in far-reaching social, economic, political, and environmental consequences all over the globe. These consequences are creating mounting challenges to development efforts, security, climate, and the environment, as well as the sustainability of human populations. • Outer Space The launch of Sputnik I in October 1957 marked the beginning of the space era and of the space race between the United States and the Soviet Union. In the 21st century, there are many more participants in space, including countries such as India and China, and commercial companies such as SpaceX. How will the United States fare in a crowded outer space? • Climate Change The ideological divide in the United States on the subject of climate change has impeded progress in curbing greenhouse emissions. But extreme weather events at both ends of the thermometer have focused attention on the consequences of inaction. What role will the United States play in future negotiations on climate? • Russia Russia and the United States have many areas of conflict and some possible areas of mutual interest. Arms control, Russian interference in U.S. elections and support of cyberattacks, the status of Ukraine, the fate of opposition politicians in Russia, all continue to be concerning. How will the new administration in Washington approach these issues? • Myanmar and ASEAN The situation in Myanmar, including the coup by the military in February 2021 and the ongoing human rights crises, coupled with civil resistance by those opposed to the regime, has led to chaos in the Southeast Asian country. How are neighboring countries reacting, and what role will ASEAN play? • The Quad Alliance As part of the U.S. pivot to Asia, the United States has been in dialogue with Japan, Australia, and India in an effort to contain China. Recently, the Quad countries held joint naval exercises in the South Pacific. How effective will the actions of this alliance be? • Industrial Policy The current discussion of industrial policy in the United States is not simply about whether or not to support specific companies or industries, but about trust or mistrust of the government and its ability to manage the economy and deal with a rising China. The upheaval in supply chains during the pandemic exposed weaknesses in the international economy. What policies can the United States implement to deal with trade and the economy? • Drug Policy in Latin America The issue of migration to the United States from Latin America has overshadowed the war on drugs, which has been underway for decades with little signs of progress. What are the roots and the bureaucratic logic behind today´s dominant drug policies in Latin America? Is it time to reconsider punitive drug control policies that disrupt supply chains and punish drug possession?

Relationships Between Grandparents, Children and Grandchildren – An Audience-Driven Interactive Discussion Group $25 / $30 February 28 at 1:30 – 3pm, Monday HB4292 – Hideaway Beach Club (Marco Island) Moderator: John Guerra Join this interactive discussion group on how grandparents can support their grandchildren without overstepping important and real-world boundaries. Do parents appreciate the help or resent the interference? Many grandparents are very involved in their grandchildren’s lives for a number of reasons: both parents are working; single-parent households; grandparents have more time and money; and it’s natural for grandparents to want to spoil their grandkids. But are these the right reasons and what should grandparents do to support their children and grandchildren in healthy, happy and nurturing ways? Family relationships today are very difficult to manage. It’s not as simple as the old days of “do what I say or else.” Join us as we explore this crucially important topic in our lives. Reading materials will be provided to all participants prior to the group’s discussion.

The Magnificent Shells of Florida

Beyond Darwin: Evolution, Ecosystem and Extinction $25 / $30 February 16 at 10 – 11:30am, Wednesday BR4300 – Brooks Commons Club (Bonita Springs) Speaker: Dr. Arthur Wenk

Climate Change 2022 $25 / $30 February 25 at 1:30 – 3pm, Friday NC4305 – FGCU Naples Center OL4701 – Online via Zoom Speaker: Ken Selger

Charles Darwin caused an upheaval in the scientific community when he replaced “specific creation,” in which God created each species exactly as we find it, with evolution through natural selection. We have come a long way toward understanding how ecosystems function. We have also learned, to our discredit, how ecosystems can be destroyed. Our planet earth, in its 4.5 billion years existence, has witnessed five major extinctions in which virtually all life was destroyed. Biologists have described the current state of affairs, with humans responsible for the destruction of species, as a sixth extinction.

Most people now believe climate change is a real concern. This presentation will review past climate changes and show what’s happening now. We will explore mankind’s risk from climate change and how it will affect us going forward. But the key is how do we fix it? There are some real solutions and we will look at the impact those changes could have.

The Magnificent Shells of Florida $25 / $30 • Option #1 – February 24 at 1:30 – 3pm, Thursday NC4301 – FGCU Naples Center OL4302 – Online via Zoom • Option #2 – March 30 at 10 – 11:30am, Wednesday BR4303 – Brooks Commons Club (Bonita Springs) • Option #3 – April 7 at 10 – 11:30am, Thursday BV4304 – Bentley Village (North Naples) Speaker: Rebecca Mensch Choose one of the course options above. Shells have been a part of many cultures for millennia. In modern times collecting shells on the beach, or shelling, has become a very popular hobby especially in southwest Florida. Most new, and even experienced, shellers have many questions on ways to improve their chances of finding exquisite shells. Some of the topics that will be covered in this lecture include: Where and when to go shelling; how to “read” the beach; methods and tools for shelling; how to identify southwest Florida shells; and how to clean, display and preserve shells.

Invasive Species Ecology $25 / $30 March 9 at 10 – 11:30am, Wednesday NC4306 – FGCU Naples Center OL4307 – Online via Zoom Speaker: Taylor Hancock Invasive species, both plants and animals, are one of the most negatively impactful forces in natural environments worldwide. They present massive hurdles for environmental conservation and restoration. This lecture will cover what invasive species are, why they occur, and how they are introduced. Examples relevant to southwest Florida will be used to explore the topic. Participants will gain a basic familiarity with common invasive species in the southwest Florida area. Organic Food: From Farm to Fork FREE / $20 March 17 at 10 – 11:30am, Thursday BV4308 – Bentley Village (North Naples) Speaker: Dr. Mark Rieger The organic food industry has grown to over $60 billion in sales in less than 20 years from the formal implementation of the USDA’s National Organic Program. But what are the differences between organic and conventionally produced food? Is organic better for you? …the environment? …the farmer? … farm animals? Will it overtake conventional food one day? Food purchasing decisions ultimately affect the way agriculture is practiced, so let’s answer some of these questions and consider the consequences of our actions.

Snakes in Paradise $25 / $30 March 31 at 10 – 11:30am, Thursday BV4310 – Bentley Village (North Naples) Speaker: Matthew Metcalf Snakes are animals that captivate us and often conjure extreme emotions, whether good or bad. The state of Florida is a particular hotspot for many unique species of snakes. With large influxes of out-of-state visitors and future residents, many are interested, or concerned, in understanding more about these creatures in our slice of paradise. This lecture will provide basic knowledge on common species, both native and exotic, seen here in Southwest Florida. This lecture will also use helpful tips to distinguish between venomous and non-venomous snakes, as well as discuss current conservation research being conducted by Florida Gulf Coast University. Amphibians and Reptiles of the Peruvian Amazon $25 / $30 • Option #1 – April 12 at 10 – 11:30am, Tuesday SL4311 – Siena Lakes (North Naples) • Option #2 – April 27 at 10 – 11:30am, Wednesday MP4312 – Moorings Park (South Naples) • Option #3 – May 24 at 2:30 – 4pm, Tuesday GO4313 – Moorings Park Grey Oaks (South Naples) Speaker: Matthew Metcalf Choose one of the course options above. The Amazon Rainforest is world renowned for its beauty, life and mystery. Despite this global interest, little is known about vast areas of the Amazon that remain untouched by modern civilization. Florida Gulf Coast University has recently partnered with a Peruvian medical and conservation group to conduct research on amphibian and reptile communities at a newly acquired and remote research station near Iquitos, Peru. In the summer of 2019, FGCU faculty and student researchers spent 72 days in the humid Peruvian Amazon Rainforest to help document the amazing diversity. Join us for a fascinating look at the amphibian and reptile inhabitants of the Amazon.

Art in the Garden: Creatively Connecting People with Plants $25 / $30 April 19 at 10 – 11:30am, Tuesday NC4315 – FGCU Naples Center Speaker: Erin Wolfe Bell / Mary Helen Reuter Naples Botanical Garden is where plants and people thrive together, and art can help forge that connection. For example, exhibitions selected for display at the Garden present a clear connection to horticultural or conservation themes and provide an additional layer of interpretation of the living collection, allowing visitors to gain a deeper understanding of the plants and the physical environment of the Garden. Meanwhile, our creative aging program, Nature Journaling: Botany through Art, helps older adults engage with their natural surroundings in new and empowering ways. The goal of art in the Garden is not just showing pretty things in pretty places, but rather curing plant indifference, which is the first step in conservation. Southwest Florida Environments $25 / $30 • Option #1 – May 5 at 10 – 11:30am, Thursday BV4316 – Bentley Village (North Naples) • Option #2 – May 10 at 10 – 11:30am, Tuesday SL4317 – Siena Lakes (North Naples) Speaker: Taylor Hancock Choose one of the course options above. This introductory lecture will impart participants with a basic understanding of southwest Florida’s habitats and ecology via an exploration of the flow of water across the landscape. Participants will gain a familiarity with the natural environments around them by highlighting common plants and animals in each habitat discussed. Current environmental issues will also be covered.

Rethinking the Landscape: Regionally Appropriate Landscaping to Address Environmental Issues $25 / $30 March 25 at 10 – 11:30am, Friday NC4309 – FGCU Naples Center Speaker: Chad Washburn A warming climate means plant range boundaries are shifting and the Naples Botanical Garden is looking south to the Caribbean for appropriate plants for our local landscapes. The countries and territories of the Caribbean are our closest tropical neighbors, and we share many similarities with the region regarding habitat and plants. These plants are adapted to similar conditions we face here, from lownutrient soil, to seasonal rains, hot temperatures, high humidity and even a similar pest palette. That means that many plants native to the Caribbean Basin are better suited for our region than some plants that are native to North Florida. Because these regionally-appropriate plants are adapted to local conditions, they require fewer inputs like fertilizer and additional irrigation to survive—and they are a plantbased solution that promotes biodiversity and water quality.

Even today, despite his personal controversies, Woody Allen is remembered as one of cinema’s most influential directors in the modern era. The once stand-up comedian and comic writer directed and wrote such intelligent films as Manhattan, Hannah And Her Sisters and Crimes and Misdemeanors, combining hilarious scenes along with philosophical insights. This lecture examines his large body of work, beginning with his sophomoric early comedy films. One of cinema’s most productive directors in the business, producing one movie a year, Allen never tired of entertaining and educating his audience.

Film clips will accompany each lecture. • John Huston $25 / $30 March 15 at 10 – 11:30am, Tuesday MM4323 – Military Heritage Museum (Punta Gorda) An eccentric rebel of epic proportions, this Hollywood titan reigned supreme as the director of Treasure of Sierra Madre, African Queen, Maltese Falcon, and as screenwriter of – Asphalt Jungle. As a character actor he made his mark in such fare as Chinatown. In a career that lasted 5 decades, his unique style represented the rebel against the norm. Complete freedom by the studio, allowed his unique style of man against the system to emerge. As an independent film maker, he was able to bring his vision to the screen in such movies as Moby Dick and The Man Who Would Be King. • The Coen Brothers $25 / $30 April 19 at 10 – 11:30am, Tuesday MM4324 – Military Heritage Museum (Punta Gorda) A Hollywood box office sensation, despite their strange, eclectic and often outright weird offerings – Barton Fink, Raising Arizona, Fargo.

Their humor is witty, anecdotal, farcical and silly. It’s also dark and morbid - Burn After Reading – and uses gallows humor and black comedy – Blood Simple, Fargo. The best way to know them is to analyze their work and get inside their creative minds.

We shall study Howard Hawks’s His Girl Friday (1940), a screwball comedy that satirized the traditional love story; Frank Capra’s It’s a Wonderful Life (1946), whose story originated in a Christmas card; Mike Nichols’s The Graduate (1967), which earned the director an Academy Award; and Woody Allen’s Annie Hall (1977), which won Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress and Best Original Screenplay. Hollywood and the Importance of Musicals $25 / $30 May 17 at 1:30 – 3pm, Tuesday BR4326 – Brooks Commons Club (Bonita Springs) Speaker: Shelly Kaufman As America struggled with ways to cope with the Depression, Hollywood’s answer was lively, vibrant musicals which distracted from the dark times as they emerged as an enduring art form. Movies starring Astaire and Rogers - Top Hat as well as Disney productions - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and the rst “talkie” The Jazz Singer kept moviegoers entertained. Later, more sophisticated musicals such as Singin’ in the Rain, West Side Story, Gigi and An American in Paris were Oscar winners.

Hollywood Invents the Screwball Comedy $25 / $30 May 20 at 10 – 11:30am, Friday BR4327 – Brooks Commons Club (Bonita Springs) Speaker: Shelly Kaufman From the early 30’s through the 50’s, Hollywood bypassed the Hays Code in very sneaky ways, avoiding censorship with such comedies as Some Like It Hot and The Seven Year Itch. The comedy genre humorously exaggerates the situation, the language, action and characters. Comedies observe the deficiencies, foibles and frustrations of life, providing merriment and a momentary escape from day-to-day life. They usually have happy endings, although the humor may have a serious or pessimistic side. Some of the stars often present in screwball comedies include Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn, Irene Dunne and the Marx Brothers.

are included. Longevity, health issues and economic uncertainty can make planning and sustaining an active retirement seem like a challenge. This course provides you with key steps required to identify and achieve your financial goals. It also highlights the current rates of return you can expect to receive from an appropriate mix of stocks, mutual funds, tax-free or taxable bonds, and insurance products. The primary objective of the session is to provide you with the knowledge of how different investment options can allow you to realize reliable income with a goal of maintaining and protecting your lifestyle through your retirement years.

Understanding Social Security – Get What’s Yours $25 / $30 • Option #1 – February 15 at 6 –7pm, Tuesday NC4348 – FGCU Naples Center OL4349 – Online via Zoom • Option #2 – March 15 at 6 – 7pm, Tuesday NC4350 – FGCU Naples Center OL4351 – Online via Zoom Speaker: Steve Stolz Choose one of the course options above. Same-household spouses or partners and children (one only) may attend for free. Did you know that more than 60% of people eligible for Social Security decide to begin receiving their benefit before they reach full retirement age? This permanently reduces your most important retirement asset for the remainder of your life. This class is for nearly everyone who’s ever earned a paycheck and wants every Social Security benefit dollar in which you are entitled because you paid for it so you’ve earned it. This session reviews how to evaluate the advantages, disadvantages, income tax consequences and strategies of the many different Social Security options available. Understanding the scenarios for single, married, divorced and domestic partners can have a significant impact on a source of income that can represent about 40% of your retirement income but can be even more important for a surviving spouse as increased longevity creates a greater need for guaranteed income that will last as long as you live. Long Term Care Insurance – Do You Really Want to Live in Your Kids’ Basement? $25 / $30 • Option #1 – February 22 at 6 – 7:15pm, Tuesday NC4352 – FGCU Naples Center OL4353 – Online via Zoom • Option #2 – March 22 at 6 – 7:15pm, Tuesday NC4354 – FGCU Naples Center OL4355 – Online via Zoom Speaker: Steve Stolz Choose one of the course options above. Same-household spouses or partners and children (one only) may attend for free. Statistics show that 70% of us will have a long-term care need in our lifetime. As a result of advances in medical science and pharmaceuticals, we are living longer so the probability of needing care has greatly increased. Medicare does not cover the cost of extended care after 100 days. Most want to be independent and don’t want to burden their children with their care. Sadly, even the nicest “Continuous Care Communities” don’t have the staff to provide the care you might expect. This presentation will cover in detail the importance, costs, benefits and features of traditional and “hybrid” Long Term Care products. It will be taught with a real-world perspective by an instructor that has been the caregiver for his parents for the last three years.

Plagues and Pandemics: How Many People and Under what Conditions Can the World Safely Support? $25 / $30 January 6 at 10 – 11:30am, Thursday BV4398 – Bentley Village (North Naples) Speaker: Dr. Charles Kupchella As we have seen, global pandemics are real and can be devastating. The potential for future, possibly even more catastrophic pandemics is also very real. The risk of disease spread, generally, is a function of such things as hygiene/ sanitation, poverty, hunger and malnourishment, access to health care, population density, migration and travel. Many of these things have been exacerbated by global warming and climate change; all are trending in the wrong direction. What Does It Really Mean When It Says…? Scriptures and the Constitution $25 / $30 • Option #1 – January 6 at 10 – 11:30am, Thursday BR4399 – Brooks Commons Club (Bonita Springs) • Option #2 – February 14 at 1:30 – 3pm, Monday NC4400 – FGCU Naples Center OL4401 – Online via Zoom Speaker: Kent Commons Choose one of the course options above.

A visitor to Italy today travels freely through the magnificent cities of Florence, Naples, Rome and Venice; but it was not always so easy. Italy is a relatively new country, and the fabled cities may indeed be regarded as prizes, because they did not all join Italy willingly! It took a combination of the wily statesman Camillo Cavour, the political activism of the secret revolutionary Giuseppe Mazzini, and the romantic nationalism of Giuseppe Garibaldi – none of whom wanted to work together - to draw disparate “Italians” together. And even that wasn’t quite enough. Napoleon III and Bismarck had something to add. This presentation will look at the remarkable personalities and events that led to the emergence of a unified Italy in 1871.

Influential Speeches of World War II $25 / $30 • Option #1 – January 10 at 1:30 – 3pm, Monday BV4406 – Bentley Village (North Naples) • Option #2 – May 24 at 1:30 – 3pm, Tuesday SL4407 – Siena Lakes (North Naples) Speaker: Thomas Eastwood Choose one of the course options above.

This presentation describes life in Washington D.C. prior to the Civil War and the many changes taking place there as the Lincoln family arrived in March 1861. The Civil War forced the city to change from a small town, Southern in flavor, where slaves were openly sold in public market places to the bastion of freedom where thousands of runaway slaves sought refuge. This lecture will describe how Lincoln had to meet the many challenges war imposed on the city and how under Lincoln’s leadership the capital would become the bastion for the Union. Queen Elizabeth I: Overcoming the Challenges of a Female Monarch in Tudor England $28 / $33 January 11 at 2:30 – 4:30pm, Tuesday GO4414 – Moorings Park Grey Oaks (South Naples) Speaker: James Pagliaro As a Tudor Monarch, Queen Elizabeth faced many dynastic challenges, including unique aspects of the religious settlement in her realm, and the competing interests of her nobles and courtiers, she was also confronted by threats from foreign enemies, and the conflicts that resulted in England and abroad. We will examine the strategies that this unique monarch employed to deal with the novel issues that confronted her as a female monarch in an age of male dominated political power. Whether faced with unhappy courtiers, powerful foreign princes, the threat to her legitimacy posed by the Queen of Scotland, or the constant pressure on her to marry, Elizabeth I

demonstrated a strength of will, strategic vision, and her own brand of psychological manipulation to remain firmly in control, and to continue to exercise supreme authority in her realm. If you like history, enjoy the pageantry of Tudor England, or just want to understand more about this remarkable woman, this is a good starting point for the discussion. Nation of Immigrants $25 / $30 January 13 at 1:30 – 3pm, Thursday MM4415 – Military Heritage Museum (Punta Gorda) Speaker: Dr. Arthur Wenk The history of how our country has been peopled, with a look at those who have embraced and those who have opposed the notion of an American cultural mosaic.

When are corporations too big? Trust Busting or Busting Trust? We look at two honorable gentlemen of the last century set on the horns of a dilemma. President Roosevelt and many others believed that “trusts” (corporations) had grown so big, they needed to be curtailed. Mr. J.D. Rockefeller had “done the good work” of making heating oil readily available at a good price for the common man. Today our nation faces the same question it faced 100 years ago. When is a business too successful and how or should it be broken up? The Collapse of the Hapsburg Empire in World War I $25 / $30 • Option #1 – January 17 at 1:30 – 3pm, Monday BV4419 – Bentley Village (North Naples) • Option #2 – March 11 at 1:30 – 3pm, Friday BR4420 – Brooks Commons Club (Bonita Springs) Speaker: Lynn Brand Choose one of the course options above. The role the Hapsburg Empire played in the causes of World War I, its feeble alliance with Germany and its political collapse at the end of the war have only recently been explored by historians. This lecture will define the declining state of the second largest empire in Europe at the start of the war and how the war brought about its end. Its collapse would change both the map and the course of history in Europe. The consequences of this collapse can still be seen today.

Ripped from the headlines. In 2018, the former physician to the U.S. National women’s gymnastics team pleaded guilty to repeatedly sexually assaulting gymnasts under the guise of medical treatment. His actions were truly heinous. We now know the story is even more shameful. The FBI was aware of the allegations, but did not appropriately investigate the matter. While the FBI failed to act with necessary urgency, dozens more victims were abused. When exposed, the FBI agents lied and attempted to cover-up their stunning inaction and misconduct.

Perhaps because of its dominant role in two world wars, it is easy to think of Germany as an old nation with a long history. But Germany is a young state, less than 150 years old. The original territory was divided into myriad small holdings ruled by independent noble families and surrounded by the powerful states of Austria and France. The path to unification would be blocked by all of these. Despite earlier attempts, it took the rise of Otto von Bismarck, with his cunning, wisdom and political acuity, to overcome all these obstacles and establish the German Empire.

Presidential Wives: Remember the First Ladies $25 / $30 January 26 at 10 – 11:30am, Wednesday MP4447 – Moorings Park (South Naples) Speaker: Jeff Margolis The role of America’s First Ladies is an unsought, unpaid position with no formal job description. However, that has not stopped the wives of our Presidents from having a voice. While many of these women had no formal education, their writings tell a great deal about their lives, both public and private, as well as the causes they have championed. This presentation examines some of the books written by the female residents of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue with a unique perspective of the Presidency that often eludes us.

This lecture will review why and how mechanisms of democracy – still in place -- failed to resolve pre-war issues peaceably, and how the War’s outcome set up some of today’s most divisive issues. American democracy is designed to protect citizens from rapid change and from the tyranny of majorities/large states. But could this lead to a pent-up demand for change or to a tranny of minorities/small states?

From Royalty to Revolution: The Golden Age of France (4-part series) $80 / $92 February 3, 8, 16, 22 at 1:30 – 3pm, Thurs/Tue/Wed/Tue CC4464 – Cypress Cove (Ft. Myers) Speaker: Nancy Maxwell Participants may register for the series (CC4464) above or for any of the individual lectures below. From the last half of the 15th century through Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI, this lecture series will take you on a journey through France’s Golden Age up through its Revolution and the overthrow of kings. • Henry IV and Louis XIII $25 / $30 February 3 at 1:30 – 3pm, Thursday CC4465 – Cypress Cove (Ft. Myers) After the violence and tumult of the last half of the fifteenth century in France that saw civil war and the end of the Valois dynasty, the country looked forward to the reign of the popular Henry IV. Although like those of his predecessors, his reign too was cut short, the king left a strong mark on the state and allowed for the smooth succession of his son, Louis XIII. This course will cover these two very different monarchs as well as the influence of Cardinal Richelieu, who nurtured the nascent idea of absolutism for the French monarchy. • Louis XIV – The Sun King $25 / $30 February 8 at 1:30 – 3pm, Tuesday CC4466 – Cypress Cove (Ft. Myers) King of France from the age of 4, Louis grew to epitomize, very intentionally, the image of absolute monarchy in the 17th century. From the magnificence of the palace of Versailles and the glamour of court ladies to the rigidity of court protocol, the grueling routine and schedule of public appearances, the daily demands of government and the quest for military glory, this lecture examines the many colorful and intriguing aspects of Louis XIV as well as the lasting effects of his reign. • Louis XV and Madame de Pompadour $25 / $30 February 16 at 1:30 – 3pm, Wednesday CC4467 – Cypress Cove (Ft. Myers) Succeeding his great grandfather Louis XIV at the age of five, Louis XV, “the well beloved” enjoyed a long, eventful reign that included extravagant patronage of the arts and the disaster of the Seven Years War. Yet, it is his relationship with the brilliant and dazzling Madame de Pompadour that perhaps left the greatest mark. Despite the objections of the queen, the scheming of rivals and the frustration of advisors, the king and his mistress ruled supreme. This lecture will offer insight into the personalities of the king and his inner circle, life at the court of Versailles and the key events of the reign of Louis XV. • The French Revolution $25 / $30 February 22 at 1:30 -3pm, Tuesday CC4468 – Cypress Cove (Ft. Myers) Marie Antoinette may have been extravagant, but she did not cause the revolution. When Louis XIV summoned the Estates General, he let loose a deluge of opposition that could not have been foreseen and which few could control. This course will examine the progress of the revolution and the unpredictable shifts of power that led to the overthrow of the ancient regime, the execution of the king, the Terror and the eventual rise of Napoleon.

Churchill’s Secret Army $25 / $30 February 7 at 1:30 – 3pm, Monday NC4472 – FGCU Naples Center OL4473 – Online via Zoom Speaker: Thomas Eastwood Churchill created a special intelligence agency to set occupied Europe “ablaze” using “ungentlemanly” tactics. His inspiration came, in part, from the Irish Republican Army which waged a guerilla campaign against British rule. The Special Operations Executive (SOE) engaged in espionage, sabotage, assassination, reconnaissance and, along with the American OSS, supported resistance movements. SOE ran a spy school, Camp X, in Canada where OSS agents were trained in “murder and mayhem.” Many were women. Camp X was also the site of Canada’s code breaking program (Hydra). Topics include: Intrepid; training; agents; operations (including the destruction of Nazi heavy water and the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich); and movies inspired by SOE missions.

This first lecture will survey the fragmentary material culture of non-literate indigenous peoples and their Celtic successors. It will then consider the varied contributions of a small Roman elite over the course of a 400-year occupation. • The Medieval Millennium, 400-1485 CE $25 / $30 February 17 at 10 – 11:30am, Thursday NC4476 – FGCU Naples Center

As Roman forces withdrew in the early fifth century, new peoples entered Britain to clash with the disunited Celtic majority. A series of pagan Anglo-Saxon invaders established regional kingdoms and gradually converted to Christianity. In the 11th century Norman conquerors began a process of political consolidation that would set the island kingdom apart from its continental neighbors. The principle and practice of representative government, the adoption and spread of “common law,” and the power of the Roman Catholic church as illustrated in the great Romanesque and Gothic cathedrals are topics in this lecture. • Reformations in Church and State: Tudor England, 1485-1603 $25 / $30 February 24 at 10 – 11:30am, Thursday NC4477 – FGCU Naples Center In just over one century, five Tudor monarchs and their respective parliaments transformed the political, economic and religious landscape of the British Isles. The executive power of the monarchy was enhanced, an official state church was created, traditional patterns of land ownership and wealth creation were replaced by new forms of economic activity, and the template for future British imperial power was tested in Ireland. • The Century of Revolution: Stuart England, 1603-1689 $25 / $30 March 3 at 10 – 11:30am, Thursday NC4478 – FGCU Naples Center The 17th century witnessed the creation of Britain’s American empire, the emergence of global trade, a constitutional crisis and mid-century civil war that claimed the lives of some 200,000 Britons, the beginnings of religious toleration, and the triumph of parliamentary sovereignty over hereditary monarchy.

Women Mean Business $25 / $30 February 10 at 10 – 11:30am, Thursday BV4481 – Bentley Village (North Naples) Speaker: Marc Leavy Beginning with Biddy Mason, the slave who successfully sued for her freedom, and went on to become a real estate magnate and church founder, we look at women who smashed stereotypes and glass ceilings. These women did the improbable and served as shining examples of what one can accomplish despite entrenched resistance. They had charm, grace and guts. We will also discuss the caustic, cosmetic conflict between two famous female tycoons, Helena Rubenstein and Elizabeth Arden.

What Happened to the Parties of Lincoln and FDR? $25 / $30 March 3 at 1:30 – 3pm, Thursday NC4523 – FGCU Naples Center Speaker: Dr. Charles Kupchella The Republican Party has changed dramatically and would no doubt be unrecognizable to conservative stalwarts such as Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and Eisenhower – and certainly to Liz Chaney. Despite Chaney’s unquestionable conservative values and record, she was voted out of the party, making what was once a party of values appear to have become a hollow personality cult framed by one big lie and lots of smaller ones. What happened? And what about a Democratic Party allowing itself to be identified with such extreme liberal nonsense as defunding the police and giving people free stuff. Does either party have a substantive core? Are we stuck with a two-party system – and, if so, are we stuck with these two? Should we bring back the Whigs? VENONA – Soviet Spies in America $25 / $30 March 4 at 10 – 11:30am, Friday NC4524 – FGCU Naples Center OL4707 – Online via Zoom Speaker: Thomas Eastwood During World War II and the Cold War Soviet spies and operatives infiltrated the White House, Treasury, State, DOJ, WAR, and DOD.

Charles I and The English Civil War $25 / $30 March 8 at 2:30 – 4pm, Tuesday AR4527 – The Arlington (Southeast Naples) Speaker: Nancy Maxwell

France After Napoleon $25 / $30 March 14 at 1:30 – 3pm, Monday BV4531 – Bentley Village (North Naples) Speaker: Nancy Maxwell

English monarchs have long clashed with their parliaments over power and money, but never in so deadly a manner as in the reign of Charles I. This Stuart king, shy and dignified, devoted to his family and with a keen eye for fine art, managed to antagonize his parliament to the point of rebellion. The ensuing civil war saw the division of families, the destruction of property and ultimately the execution of the king. The nation was horrified, yet history hails the civil war as the triumph of parliamentary rule over despotism. Was it? This lecture will examine the confluence of issues and personalities that precipitated the civil war and consider its legacy.

With the final defeat of Napoleon and his exile to St. Helena, France was an exhausted, depleted state. The restored monarchy under Louis XVIII struggled for full acceptance and a solid footing; disenfranchised republicans and Bonapartists resented the reactionary royalists. The equality of citizens introduced by the French Revolution seemed a forgotten ideal, yet by 1848 the French were welcoming another Bonaparte as their leader. This course will examine the events, personalities, and expectations that precipitated further revolutions and the establishment of a second empire in France.

Religion, Power, Dynasty and the Crown – The Civil Wars of France $25 / $30 March 9 at 1:30 – 3pm, Wednesday NC4528 – FGCU Naples Center OL4709 – Online via Zoom Speaker: Nancy Maxwell Ruling over a fractious state is a challenge at the best of times, but when the “new religion” reached 16th century France, the combination of ambition, greed, and religion made for a lethal cocktail. The great noble families fought for dominance over each other and the weak kings; the royal family, buffeted by intrigue, plots, and counter-plots, struggled to hold onto their lives, let alone their thrones. By 1589, the ruling house of Valois had collapsed and the Bourbons reigned. This lecture will explore the personalities, intrigue, and machinations of the French wars of religion, as well as the values and beliefs that enabled moderation to ultimately prevail. Whatever Happened to the World’s Fair? $25 / $30 March 10 at 10 – 11:30am, Thursday BV4529 – Bentley Village (North Naples) Speaker: Jeff Margolis The first World’s Fair in the U.S. was in Philadelphia in 1876 to commemorate America’s Centennial.

The Rise and Fall of America’s Retail Palaces $25 / $30 March 17 at 10 – 11:30am, Thursday BR4532 – Brooks Commons Club (Bonita Springs) Speaker: Jeff Margolis Once upon a time there were great department stores, multi-story architectural wonders and cathedrals to retailing. Today, they are all but gone, victims to cultural changes in American society. Covid-19, the internet and big box stores were just the more recent villains. The casualties began decades ago.

By itself, stripped of its historical associations with bad things such as totalitarianism, state-ownership of the means of production and communism – socialism is a positive word; it means simply, inclined toward being with and caring about others. By virtue of its nearly 90 federal social welfare programs costing over a trillion dollars annually, the U.S. is and has been a “socialist” country for a hundred years. This presentation includes a review of how the U.S. compares to other “socialist” countries of the world.

The famous “salons” of Paris, attended by aristocratic men and women alike, helped to spread new ways of thinking about philosophy, religion, government and mankind itself. Products of their age, some monarchs embraced the new ideas, hoping to reform systems and strengthen their states, but, what happened when ideas of reform clashed with notions of their own power? How far could the Enlightenment go? We will examine the plans, personalities and performance of Frederick the Great, Maria Theresa and Catherine the Great.

Taking Amazing Vacation and Travel Photos $28 / $33 • Option #1 – February 17 at 1:30 – 3:30pm, Thursday NC4612 – FGCU Naples Center • Option #2 – May 5 at 10 – 12pm, Thursday BR4613 – Brooks Commons Club (Bonita Springs) Speaker: Frank Berna Choose one of the course options above. We all love to travel and capturing those once-in-a-lifetime moments to share with friends and family, or for personal memories, is part of the experience. Our photographs need to bring the sensations of sight, sound and smell back to trigger our memories and to communicate how we felt to others. To do this, we need to think and feel, as much as look, when setting out to take photographs. Travel photography expresses the feeling of a time and place, portrays a land, its people, or a culture in its natural state and has no geographical limitations. Learn how to create the images that are only seen in magazines. iPhone-ography $28 / $33 • Option # 1 – March 1 at 10 – 12pm, Tuesday SL4614 – Siena Lakes (North Naples) • Option #2 – March 9 at 10 – 12pm, Wednesday MP4615 – Moorings Park (South Naples) • Option #3 – March 22 at 2:30 – 4:30pm, Tuesday AR4616 – The Arlington (Southeast Naples) • Option #4 – May 19 at 10 – 12pm, Thursday BV4617 – Bentley Village (North Naples) Speaker: Frank Berna Choose one of the course options above.

We discuss the features of the camera and how to use them properly along with how to deal with the myriad ways to edit and organize your photos.

Making/Taking Better Photos $28 / $33 March 11 at 10 – 12pm, Friday NC4618 – FGCU Naples Center Speaker: Frank Berna Ansel Adams said, “You don’t take a photograph, you make a photograph.” Photography is a very subjective endeavor. There are no hard-and-fast rules to follow that always assure your picture will be, well, “picture perfect.” However, an understanding of light, exposure and compositional guidelines that can be applied to virtually any scene will enhance its impact and quality. Understanding these principles will help you to capture more compelling images, turning your snapshots into works of art. This lecture is for all photographers, regardless of the camera they use. Download, Save and Share Your Photos $28 / $33 March 16 at 10 – 12pm, Wednesday NC4619 – FGCU Naples Center Speaker: Frank Berna You love to take photos, but after you press the shutter, what do you do next? What is the best way to get them into your computer? Do you have a ton of photos on your computer, but can never find the one you want? Did your computer ever crash and you lost everything, including your precious memories? Do you understand all of the printing options that are available to you now that have never been possible before? This lecture is designed to teach you how to handle all of those organizational tasks that you may not fully understand, but that can save you time and money if properly implemented. Students with laptops should bring them to class. Improve Your Photography the Easy Way! $28 / $33 March 18 at 10 – 12pm, Friday NC4620 – FGCU Naples Center Speaker: Frank Berna Improvement is incremental and gradual, not instantaneous. And while it’s true that we all learn in different ways, all creative growth starts with an idea. How one perceives and applies an idea will vary considerably and that’s the point of this class. Allowing yourself to be exposed to the ideas of others and then using these ideas in a way that fits your own style is one of the most consistently effective means of avoiding creative stagnation. This class is ideal for any photographer, using any type of equipment. Understanding Your Mirrorless and Digital SLR (3-part series) $72 / $84 April 4, 6, 8 at 10 – 12pm, Mon/Wed/Fri NC4621 – FGCU Naples Center Speaker: Frank Berna

But learning the myriad of alternatives can be daunting. This course is designed to make sense of these options: how, when and why to use them. Topics will include understanding exposure, white balance, file formats, better flash photography, focus and shooting options.

Was there a beginning to the universe and time? Or is the universe eternal and static? If there was a beginning, does that mean that there is an end as well – a self-deterministic property of nature or a divine revelation? We will discuss how the beginning is perceived through a holistic lens of faith, science and reason. Why Luther? The Protestant Reformation $25 / $30 • Option #1 – January 18 at 1:30 – 3pm, Tuesday SL4624 – Siena Lakes (North Naples) • Option #2 – March 10 at 1:30 – 3pm, Thursday NC4625 – FGCU Naples Center OL4717 – Online via Zoom • Option #3 – May 20 at 1:30 – 3pm, Friday GL4626 – Moorings Park Grande Lake (Southeast Naples) Speaker: Kent Commons Choose one of the course options above. This lecture takes a historical look at the main people involved in the Reformation and the roles they played. We discover why Martin Luther is the name most connected with the Reformation and discuss if that is justified. Why Does the World Exist? $25 / $30 January 20 at 1 – 2:30pm, Thursday CO4627 – The Collaboratory (Downtown Fort Myers) Speaker: Dr. Arthur Wenk Behind the Big Bang lies the question of why there is anything at all, an issue that has been described as the fundamental question of metaphysics. This presentation draws on science, philosophy, and religion to take on a question that everyone has probably pondered at one time or another. We will examine a number of creation myths before turning to a variety of hypothetical answers to the question: the null world (why not nothing?); the eternal universe; the Big Bang; and the problem of people, or, fine-tuning the universe. Cause and Effect: The Development of Religious Creeds $25 / $30 • Option #1 – February 7 at 1:30 – 3pm, Monday BV4628 – Bentley Village (North Naples) • Option #2 – March 17 at 1:30 – 3pm, Thursday NC4629 – FGCU Naples Center OL4630 – Online via Zoom Speaker: Kent Commons Choose one of the course options above. Why were the creeds created and how many were there? Are they both in the Old as well as the New Testament? Are there others that are not in scripture? Each one was the answer to a question that arose during the early years of the church and each one expresses a unified answer to those questions. From the Code of Hammurabi to the Apostles Creed, we will look at both the cause as well as the effect of those queries.

The Biological Foundations of Morality $25 / $30 February 8 at 2:30 – 4pm, Tuesday AR4631 – The Arlington (Southeast Naples) Speaker: Dr. Charles Kupchella Our sense of morality was baked into us by evolution and has been a key to our ability to function as social animals. Cultural evolution, language, travel, trade, religion – underpinned by our innate moral sense has enabled us to work collaboratively in larger and larger groups and seems to have been moving toward a “family of humankind” way of behaving and seeing ourselves. But evolution also gave us a need to “belong”; an inclination to identify ourselves as part of what too often became divisive us-vs-them groups. Has our need to “belong” caused human moral evolution to stall? An Eternity of Miracles: The Story of You (4-part series) $80 / $92 February 21, 23, 28, March 2 at 10 – 11:30am, Mons/Weds NC4632 – FGCU Naples Center Speaker: Scott Flaig This four-session lecture series engages participants in a 14 billion year journey of an eternity of miracles that begins even before the beginning with the purpose of creation and proceeds into the miracle of creation itself embracing faith [theologyscripture], science [laws of nature] and philosophical postulates/ logic. This series will present the miracles that were essential for creation, cosmic evolution, life, species evolution advancing to the arrival of mankind [and, Who was Adam?]. What does it really mean to be human? Why am I here and what is my/our destiny? Are we the purpose of a providential plan, that of Divine origin or a random act of nature? Do we share intelligent life with others, yet to be discovered cosmic neighbors and if so, are life and nature universal? Is our theology universal? Is evolution over or are we on a path to transhumanism seeking to become immortal? Beyond our temporal existence lies the inevitable eschatological end – to me, the Earth, our Sun and even the universe itself…or does it! Join this interactive series about an eternity of miracles through the tri-lens of of science, philosophy and theology. How Did We Get the Bible? (4-part series) $80 / $92 February 28, March 2, 7, 9 at 10 – 11:30am, Mons/Weds NC4633 – FGCU Naples Center Speaker: Marc Leavy In this four-session course, we will explore who compiled and curated the greatest anthology of inspired authors. How did we get our Bibles and why and how are they different? Who compiled the books? How long did it take? Where and when did it happen? Who made the decisions? Why do denominations differ and are the differences significant? Who were the Church Fathers? We will also look at the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Qumran Texts, and how it impacts todays Scripture. You will learn how the Canon was closed, why, and how it impacted different denominations.

The Rise of Anti-Science Attitudes and Anti-Intellectualism in America $25 / $30 March 15 at 10 – 11:30am, Tuesday NC4634 – FGCU Naples Center Speaker: Dr. Charles Kupchella There has been a rise in both anti-science sentiment and anti-intellectualism in America. How did this happen? Is this a consequence of today’s politicization of truth derived from “anti” issues about masks, climate or vaccines? Did this come from conflicts between science and religion, e.g. creationism vs evolution? Could it be traced all the way back to the Enlightenment giving way to Romanticism and other “isms?” Implications for our Country if science is no longer used as a guide to government policies? What are the consequences of diminishing support for science and education as drivers of our economy? Mythologies of the Divine Feminine (2-Part Series) $46 / $56 April 12, 26 at 10 – 11:30am, Tuesdays MM4635 – Military Heritage Museum (Punta Gorda) Speaker: Jaha Cummings Mythology is a collection of carefully crafted stories that contain the esoteric secrets necessary for one to become a complete person and as such form the basis of a cultivated and sustainable society. In this course we will explore the deeper meanings of several manifestations of the Divine Feminine in myth to include: Ma’at, Hathor, Auset/Isis, Ishtar, The Triple Goddess, Mother Earth, Kuan Yin, Medusa, Athena, Pandora, Freya, Selene, Odu, Ifa, Yemaya, Oshun, Oya, Oba, the Iyaami (The Great Mothers) La Santisma Muerte, Pomba Gira, Amaterasu, Kali, Shekinah, Eve, and Mary. Voltaire, Natural Disasters and God $25 / $30 April 28 at 10 – 11:30am, Thursday BR4636 – Brooks Commons Club (Bonita Springs) Speaker: Donald Spinelli Natural disasters have been in the news quite regularly in recent years: tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes, tornadoes. Much has been written in an attempt to explain the destruction and human suffering involved in these terrible calamities. We will discuss briefly three of Voltaire’s philosophical tales: Micromégas, Zadig, and Candide before examining more in depth his “Poem on the Lisbon Earthquake,” in which he questions God’s intentions.

SCIENCE & ASTRONOMY

Hubble Unravels the Mysteries of the Solar System $25 / $30 • Option # 1 – January 4 at 1:30 – 3pm, Tuesday SL4637 – Siena Lakes (North Naples) • Option #2 – January 20 at 1:30 – 3pm, Thursday MM4638 – Military Heritage Museum (Punta Gorda) • Option #3 – May 16 at 10 – 11:30am, Monday MP4639 – Moorings Park (South Naples) Speaker: Ken Selger Choose one of the course options above.

Learn about the Solar System moons and why our moon is dramatically different. Find out who Hubble was and why he is important. And then there’s politics. NASA had to navigate the political game while trying to create the most important scientific tool of the century from a flawed mirror. Finally, the question, “Are we alone in the world?” will be answered.

Space and Time Travel: Real or Fantasy? $25 / $30 January 18 at 10 – 11:30am, Tuesday BR4640– Brooks Commons Club (Bonita Springs) Speaker: Scott Flaig Mankind’s pursuit of exploration seems to be embedded in our DNA. First, we explored the Savannah; then we migrated out of Africa and into Europe, Asia and the far western continents. Then man orbited earth with moon landings not far behind. So, what’s next - Mars landings, exploration of Venus and then onto the outer planets? When will we go beyond our solar system and into interstellar space searching for a new home? As exciting as these new pursuits are, the space challenges facing our human-ness and the technologies necessary for reasonable travel time must be resolved, or we must accept that local visits to the moon and perhaps Mars will be the end to human space exploration. So, why not travel “through time” and just bring back those technologies that allow us to travel at warp speed? First, that would depend on whether or not the future exists does it? Philosophers say yes if you believe in eternalism, the simultaneous existence of the past, present and future. If so, then time travel is only a technology problem - but what a huge problem it is! Is space and time travel possible or just a fantasy?
