Fall 2012 Course Book Climate Change and Other Timely Topics “Climate is the clothes you buy; weather is what you wear today.” Fi h Grader Climate change is the ho est of all the topics exploring Planet Earth—past, present and future— in this fall’s OLLI curriculum, which also includes a broad spectrum of courses on a host of other subjects. There is nothing new about climate change, says presenter Pam Knox, an applied climatologist on the UGA engineering faculty. “Climate is one of the great determining factors of how people live, what they wear and what they eat,” she explains. “The climate on Earth has varied greatly over the life of the planet, but condi ons that allow humans to live and thrive are only a short part of that th me span. As climate has changed over me, the environments envi that cultures have adapted to have also changed, cha causing conflicts between culturess and ecosystems ecosyst trying to maintain their preferred condi ondi ons. As A climate changes again in the future, what new conflicts and shi s in plants and animals will occur and how adaptable can we be to those changes?” ges?” Climate change will also be the topic of a Lunch and Learn with Dr. David Stooksbury, former state climatologist and UGA associate professor of engineering and atmospheric sciences. Dr. Jim Kundell, UGA Georgia Power professor sor of water resources emeritus and current chairman man of the Environmental Advisory Board to the Chief the of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, will carry th theme a step further in “Changing Perspec ves on climate the Environment.” “The fact is that global cl

change is real—the sea level is rising, the glaciers are receding and frost-free days are moving north,” Kundell says. “What is our contribu on and how do we deal effec vely with it? Do we change our lifestyles and do things differently or bury our heads in the sand?” Kundell says there is no silver bullet for environmental problems. “I think we have some significant choices that we have to make and it won’t be easy. We must approach the situa on realis cally and pragma cally if we are going to limit the effects of climate change.” continued on page 3

How to apply principles of environmental stewardship and work with exis ng condi ons will be the subject of a session on green construc on by Luis Imery, whose construc on and real estate company earned Na onal and Regional Green Building Awards in 2010 and 2011, and a course by Master Gardener Joanne Roth, who will focus on sensible gardening that adjusts with climate change. Roth, whose started Miss Tizzy’s Weeds and Seeds in December, says in her Survivable Gardens brochure: “Forest Gardening, or Permaculture (permanent agriculture), is actually a partnership between your garden area, taller and shorter trees, fruit trees, vegetables, perennials, shrubs, some annuals and herbs. By combining the forces of these elements, the produc vity of your gardens is enhanced by a symbio c rela onship that is beneficial to all plants involved, with added benefits of insect management and moisture control.” There are a number of other OLLI opportuni es to explore our world, including the icy regions of the Arc c, Patagonia, South Atlan c islands and Antarc c with Dr. Gilles Allard and the “Frozen Worlds” of the Northern Hemisphere and Antarc ca with Dr. Mark Rich. Dorinda Dallmeyer will lead a gallery tour, “Altamaha: A River and its Keeper,” and Dr. David Dallmeyer will teach a course on the Basin and Range Province and Eastern Sierras in Nevada and California, followed by a trip to those areas. Another opportunity for travel is a whale-watching expedi on led by Dr. Christa Harrelson-Deissier and Dr. Denise Domize oﬀ the Cape Anne coast of Massachuse s. And if you want to expand your horizons into space, you can discover Titan, a large moon of Saturn, which is “in many ways the Earth’s alter ego,” according to Dr. Alberto E. Pa no Douce. There are, of course, many other choices on many other topics in the fall lineup. Curriculum chair Dr. Be y Jean Craige says, “With 88 courses—a total of 203 sessions--OLLI members will have the opportunity to get chock full of ideas, informa on and educa on about nature and culture all before the end of 2012!” –Elaine Kalber

Analyzing Current Affairs Lief Carter and Robert Grafstein

In three monthly mee ngs this semester, this group will analyze and discuss the deeper dynamics and an cipated consequences of the leading stories in the news. One such story obviously will be the November na onal U.S. elec ons, but we will address whatever topics seem important and “hot” at the me. Professors Carter and Grafstein will coordinate and lead the discussions, and several members of the U.G.A. poli cal science department have also agreed to lend their exper se if topics in their special es arise. If this course is successful and popular, it is an cipated that it will be oﬀered in the same format in future OLLI semesters.

Animation History: What Pixar learned from Disney Richard Neupert

Pixar has become the most respected and successful anima on studio in the world, in large part because its lead animator, John Lasseter, synthesized the strengths of classical Disney and Warner Bros. cartoon styles with 3D computer anima on. This course will explain how Lasseter movies like LUXO JR. and TOY STORY exploit graphic cues and narra ve techniques to generate strong empathy and emo onal a achments with characters as non-human as desk lamps, plas c toy astronauts, and rusty tow trucks. We will study how Pixar actually engineers audience reac ons to their computer generated characters, using precise visual, audio, and narra ve strategies. This will be an illustrated lecture, with film clips. Richard Neupert (PhD, Wisconsin) is the Wheatley Professor of the Arts and a Josiah Meigs Dis nguished Teaching Professor. Author of “The End, History of the French New Wave, and “A History of French AnimaƟon”. His new book project is “John Lasseter and the Rise of Pixar Style” (U of Illinois P). He is also on the board of the Ciné movie theater.

Battle at Kettle Creek (1779): What’s Known, What Remains to Be Learned Joseph Harris

This course will sketch the history of the mes and events of the Revolu onary War ba le at Ke le Creek, Wilkes County, Georgia, and describe issues on which further historical and other research is needed. Par cipants may later want to conduct greatly needed research in areas such as local history social and poli cal condi ons of the area, genealogy, etc. The natural history, ecology, and other site features of an educa onal value may all be researched through an OLLI Special Interest Group or independently. Such research would contribute toward the crea on of a major park resource at Ke le Creek, now in the planning stages. Reports would be valuable both in public educa on and for tourism purposes. A field trip to the ba le site will be scheduled. Dr. Joseph Harris, a botanist with a research specialty in aging, was educated at Emory, the University of Georgia, the University of Chicago, and Duke (Ph.D.). He taught in the University of Wisconsin system and worked coopera vely on research projects at the Universi es of Texas, Tennessee, and North Carolina State which included studies in age reversal and DNA change.

Beginning Conversational German

Calculus for Poets

The emphasis will be on conversing in German, but the class will also draw on resources of vocabulary, grammar, pronuncia on, common expressions, and idioms, as well as German history and culture. German vocabulary useful to travelers will also be included. The class will seek to accommodate the needs of beginners but also be interes ng to students who have some German experience. No previous German experience is required.

Calculus, invented by Newton and Leibniz in the 17th century, is the mathema cal founda on of modern science, probability and economics. Why - because it provides the tools for a precise analysis of changing quan es, and just about everything in life changes. It also lets you compute a lot of really neat stuﬀ. In spite of the technical apparatus needed for precise computa ons, there are only 4 major concepts that are vital for a general understanding of calculus and its applica ons, and these are accessible to a high school student.

Dr. O.C. Dean

Students will prac ce speaking in class and be expected to prac ce at home, as well as do exercises in a textbook or handouts. There will probably be a small fee for materials. Prior to class, students will be required to purchase “Learn German the Fast and Fun Way” (3rd ed.) $18.95. Book can be found on Amazon for $12.37 plus shipping. Dr. O.C. Dean has degrees in French, theology, and German linguis cs and has studied in Germany. He has been a campus and parish minister, a teacher of French, German, and linguis cs, and a German-to-English translator of theological and biblical studies.

Centennial Snapshots: Religion in Georgia Dr. David Williams

An examina on of the prevailing form of religion in Georgia in 100-year increments, beginning with 1550, shows that in each case the leading religious tradi on(s) seemed to be more or less permanent, but it turned out not to be so over the following century: first, Mississippian Indian religion (the “Southeastern Ceremonial Complex”) in 1550; then Catholicism in 1650; Anglicanism in 1750; a more or less equivalent, bipar te Methodist-Bap st evangelical split in 1850; and a clear Bap st majority in 1950. While it seems as if the Bap st majority (or plurality) will con nue, there are clear signs that by 2050 the situa on will have changed drama cally due to three main trends—the growth of Catholicism ( ed in large measure to

Changing Perspectives on the Environment: What are the Implications? Jim Kundell

Most OLLI members can remember a host of environmental perturba ons they witnessed growing up, from air and water pollu on to open dumps to the decline of species such as bald eagles and brown pelicans. Protec ng the environment became a cause that reached a boiling point in the 1960s and 1970s, resul ng in the passage of a number of federal and state environmental laws and reorganiza on and crea on of agencies to implement the requirements of those laws. Polls consistently show that environmental protec on has been a strongly held value of the American people. Recently, however, there have been increasing a acks on eﬀorts to protect the environment and popular support seems to be declining. Why? And, what are the implica ons for the future? This course will look at where we are in our eﬀorts to ensure a quality environment, the apparent changes rela ng to environmental support, and what the future might hold in store. Dr. Jim Kundell is a UGA professor emeritus. Before his re rement, he was the Georgia Power Professor of Water Resources and Director of the Environmental Policy Program in the Vinson Ins tute of Government and Professor of

Climate Change - It’s the Physics David Emory Stooksbury

A look at the basics of climate change with an emphasis on the physics of the atmosphere. Contrary to popular percep on, it is not the global temperature date that convinces climatologists that we are changing the climate; it is the physics of the atmosphere that demands it.

Climate: Past, Present, and Future Pam Knox

In recent years, “Climate” has been a dirty word to many poli cians and pundits. However, many of those who promote or denigrate climate science really have no training in climatology. In this class during the first lecture I will introduce you to the basics of what climate is, how to measure and describe it, and what our present climate looks like. In the second lecture, I will talk about past climates and how they are determined as well as some of the rela onships between climate and history, such as Napoleon’s ill-fated march to Russia.

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) Laurie Hart

This course will teach a powerful, yet quick and easy-to-learn, technique for releasing blocked energy. EFT is especially helpful in reducing emo ons such as fear, anxiety, frustra on, and anger and in moving us out of the “stuck” places in our life. EFT is a combina on of techniques from Eastern medicine and psychology. In EFT we verbalize silently or aloud the unwanted situa on or emo on while tapping on key acupuncture points. In a minute or two, EFT can release an emo on that is blocking us from feeling good or taking the ac on we want. And by clearing blocked energy, at mes EFT can also reduce symptoms of tension or ghtness in the body. Class members will learn what EFT is, in what situa ons it is helpful, and how to use it on their own. Before her re rement in 2005, Laurie Hart taught for over 2

General Elijah Clarke’s Trans-Oconee Republic Gary Doster

In 1794, the western boundary of Georgia in this area was the Oconee River; all the land east of the Oconee belonged to the Creek & Cherokee Indians. Although there were many forts built along the river to protect the se lers from the Indians, they were not suﬃcient. Former Revolu onary War General Elijah Clark and 300-400 of his former soldiers illegally ventured across the Oconee, claimed a strip of land about 10 miles wide and 100 miles long that extended from about where presentday Milledgeville and Athens are located, and essen ally a empted to establish a new country. Upon direct orders from President Washington, Georgia Governor George Mathews convinced Clarke to give up his venture and bring his army back across the river into Georgia. Gary Doster spent his professional career as a wildlife biologist where he authored and co-authored numerous publica ons. He is an avid collector of history memorabilia.

The moons of the giant planets are unique worlds, each of them with a very dis nct personality. Six of them are very large, the size of planets in their own right. Only one among them, Titan, moon of Saturn, has a thick atmosphere, thicker in fact than Earth’s. Titan is the only body in the Solar System other than Earth known to have liquid precipita on and bodies of stagnant and running liquid on its surface. It is in many ways the Earth’s alter ego. In this course we will examine these fascina ng characteris cs of Titan, and see whether they can tell us anything about our own planet.

Geology and Mineral Deposits within the Basin and Range Province & Eastern Sierras: Nevada & California David Dallmeyer

The Basin & Range Province is an extensive physiographic region covering more than 170,000 square miles and extending across six western states and parts of Mexico. The area is characterized by abrupt changes in eleva on, alterna ng between narrow, rugged, fault-bounded mountain ranges and intervening arid valleys or basins. This topography is a result of extensional geologic forces that ini ated approximately 40 million years ago because of global changes in plate tectonic rela onships. These forces have con nuously been extending North American con nental crust through associated faul ng. As a result of crustal thinning, the region has been a focus of nearly con nual volcanic ac vity during the last 40 million years. This widespread igneous ac vity generated abundant economic mineral deposits. Exploita on of these resources has helped to frame the cultural history of the region since the middle 19th century. R. David Dallmeyer, Professor Emeritus of Geology at the University of Georgia, is a frequent instructor in the OLLI@ UGA program. His teaching and research have focused on the processes and chronology of plate tectonics and mountain building, and he has conducted geological fieldwork on all con nents. He has long taught undergraduate courses dealing with geological hazards. Dr. Dallmeyer has directed research programs in Antarc ca, West Africa, China, Greenland, Svalbard, Norway and the Andes of Chile and Peru. He is the author of several scholarly books and a na onally popular introductory geology textbook that is in its sixth edi on.

History into Art: Richard III, Edward VIII, and Popular Re-writing Fran Teague

In the first class, we will watch Ian McKellan’s film version of Shakespeare’s Richard III. This film re-sets Shakespeare’s play to England in the 1930s, re-wri ng history to imagine that the monarch and his family decided to join the forces of Nazism. Then we shall discuss the way that the film re-shapes or reflects history, using material released from the Bri sh government about the Nazi leanings of Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson. Next you’ll read Shakespeare’s Richard III. In class, we’ll spend me discussing the play, especially considering the way that he re-shaped history to fla er the Tudor monarchs. We’ll also talk about why this history play is among Shakespeare’s most popular. Finally, we’ll view The King’s Speech (2010), concluding our study with a discussion of the way that the film also modifies history to make such a successful film. Prior to class students are required to read “Richard III” (any edi on) by William Shakespeare. Fran Teague is a UGA professor with a joint appointment in both the Department of Theatre and Film Studies and the Department of English. She has been teaching Shakespeare courses since the 1970s, and her Shakespeare and Film course is quite popular.

How To Organize a “Share the Care” Group to Support a Person Who is Seriously Ill Penny Oldfather

Caregiving is one of the most important and challenging roles in life. Many seriously ill people need help. Exhausted caregivers don’t know where to turn. People wish to help, but they may not feel sure what to do. Those in need may have trouble asking for assistance from others. Par cipants in this class will learn about a brilliant, prac cal, and well-tested solu on called Share the Care addressing how a group can support a person who is seriously ill. The presenter has benefited from first-hand experience with this approach. A group of friends organized a Share the Care group for her partner who ba led ALS and who provided invaluable help to them for five years. This last year Penny organized a Share the Care group for a friend who had lung cancer. This has been a way for her to “pay it forward.”

Paideia: The Ideal of Human Culture

Planning the Perfect Trip

For around two thousand years, from the me of Plato to the early 17th Century, the ideal of human culture was bound up with the belief in a comprehensive world view and a comprehensive way of life based on that world view. This idea had to do with the human desire to live, to live well, and live be er, and the fundamental human ques on was “What is my and our significance, worth, and purpose in the whole scheme of things?” The roots of this ideal reached deep into Greek, Roman, Jewish, and Chris an history, and then things began to change...

Few things in life are as rewarding and moving as a deeply sa sfying trip, especially one that imprints wonderful memories that never fade. Whether it is a special family trip to Disney, a roman c anniversary trip to Paris, or a stunning African safari, these are trips that can bond families, couples, or friends closer together over shared memories that last a life me. There are also many details that go into ensuring that your trip goes smoothly, with minimal stress, and maximum pleasure. Some of these details are obvious, others small and easy to overlook, but all have the poten al to jeopardize your experience should they not be dealt with properly.

The South African wine industry is the oldest of the “New World” winemaking countries, da ng back to 1659. But modern winemaking in South Africa, characterized by a large number of small, independent wineries and the cul va on of a wide range of grape varietals, dates back to the end of apartheid in the early 1990s. The li ing of economic sanc ons exposed South Africa to interna onal trends in winemaking and allowed South African wines to compete in world markets. This course will examine how eﬀec ve South African winemakers have been in making and selling their wines, with a par cular focus on the

This course is a modest celebra on of an immodest and immoderately successful novelist’s 200th anniversary. While s ll in his twen es Charles Dickens became the most popular writer in England, and since then his work has enriched the world’s imagina on, even among those who have never read one of his full-length novels. Readers who think they are well beyond Dickens are predictably impressed and entertained when rediscovering him.

Mark Britt

In an a empt to alleviate that problem, this class will consist of break-out sessions where financial planners, experts in estate planning and long-term care insurance will be able to field ques ons in specific areas. Some of the more pressing ques ons would be: Based on your knowledge as financial experts, (not fortune-tellers), what does the economic future look like? What are some of your sugges ons, (not as fortune-tellers) about how I should be inves ng? If I am a military veteran, can I qualify for veteran benefits? What do I need to know about Long Term Care Insurance? Mark Bri is a Vice President and Team Director with BB&T Private Financial Services. He joined BB&T in 2003 and has over 18 years experience in the financial services industry. He is a graduate of Georgia State University and completed the Financial Planner program at Oglethorpe University in 2005. He is a Cer fied Financial Planner ™ and works with clients throughout the North Georgia market.

Students will need to purchase and have read “Great Expecta ons” by Charles Dickens. Any edi on that includes the alternate ending as well as the original.

Wireless Revolution

Zumba Gold : Dance Your Way To Fitness

Wireless devices have come a long way. These are not the same phones you purchased 20 years ago. They are no longer just for making phone calls. You can text someone, surf the Net or post on your friend’s Facebook page. What does all this mean to you? Why would you want a Droid vs. an iPhone or basic phone? What are the diﬀerences between the various opera ng systems and which one is best for you? What are some of the other technology oﬀerings from cell phone companies. These are just a few of the things that will be discussed in this course. You will also get an opportunity to ask some technology-related ques ons you have.

Zumba is a La n-dance inspired fitness program. Taking the original concept which combines a dance work-out with a partylike atmosphere and adjus ng it to the needs of seniors resulted in Zumba Gold. The program improves cardio-vascular health as it works the heart, hips, legs and arms with dance moves.

The Population Paradox There is no shortage of popula on forecasts but long range predic ons have frequently proven to be incorrect.

In this course, find out if the world popula on is increasing and, if so, if it’s good or bad. Has the average age of the world’s popula on increased or decreased in recent years?
