Course Catalog OLLI@UGA

July through December 2014 OLLI Grows in Depth and Breath Numbers tell only part of the story. While OLLI has been growing in number of members, trips, interest groups, social events and other activities, it has also been expanding in the depth and breadth of the courses it offers. Two new opportunities are Reflections and the Brown Bag Lunch series. “Reflections identify those involving autobiographical retrospectives,” says registration chairman Nancy Canolty, who works with OLLI staff to create the catalogue and schedules the courses. “Personal stories will be shared in nine courses providing the perfect way to learn more about the life experiences of some of our members. Perhaps next spring others will share their stories.” Members who will participate include Nash Boney, Army draft years, 1954-1956; Jay Shinn, Zen of aviation; France Boney, WWII Paris occupation; Gwen O’Looney, travels and tips beginning with 1969 Red Cross trip to Vietnam; Irene Muthe, immigrant’s story; Seth Hendershot, balancing business and the arts; Mark Freeman, narrowboat canal travel in England; Roger Carroll, combat infantryman’s Vietnam experience; and Nick Dale, Georgia’s poultry industry. The luncheon programs at Trumps and Central Presbyterian have been popular with OLLI members and now there is another option. “A new initiative for fall is the Brown Bag Lunch series,” says Executive Director Katy Crapo. “We will host a few classes with students bringing their own lunch to designated classes. These BYO events will be held at River’s Crossing. Luncheon programs work well for individuals who are still employed.” It is no surprise that the fall curriculum includes 23 subjects in the Aging, Fitness and Health, Health-Related and Mind and Body categories, which address the concerns of most if not all OLLI members. Education is also on the agenda with analyses of problems in public education and Government and Politics including the Supreme Court and Extremism and Democracy. It is also a reflection of members’ interests that there are nine Ecology, 10 HumanitiesLiterature and 16 Historical Perspectives courses. Several Historical Perspective classes focus on the military with Army Col. (ret.) Lawrence Saul teaching three: Battle of the Huertgenwald—An American Disaster; War Accidents: Just an Unlucky Day?; and World War I: Its Place in History.

“Most historians agree that Americans tend to lack a basic understanding of military matters,” says Saul, a senior lecturer at the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, Calif., who served in the Army for 34 years. “There is more to war than ‘Saving Private Ryan’ or other Hollywood offerings. “The military history courses offered by OLLI cover the spectrum of U.S. military history, particularly the U.S. Civil War and the Great War 1914-1918, as well as the ever popular WWII courses. This is a great way for OLLI students to understand more about the art and science of war, but, more importantly, to learn of the great accomplishments of our forefathers.” The motto of the U.S. Army War College is “Not to promote war but to preserve peace,” adds Saul, who has taught seven OLLI courses. “Following that tradition, the courses are offered in order to educate and inform the students on the historical events, personalities and outcomes of war.” With 131 courses in 25 categories, the 1,200-plus OLLI members have many choices. “At the point that most of us are in our lives, we now have the luxury of learning for fun,” says Crapo. “So, the topics we never had time to study we can now pursue. The very diverse curriculum we offer provides our members with the opportunity to try new things.”

Dear OLLI friends: For more than two years I have been privileged to chair OLLI’s Curriculum Committee. Our charge, as I understood it, was to find more than a hundred wise and witty instructors every semester to teach OLLI’s 1200 wise and witty learners. And we did. For this fall semester the Curriculum Committee scheduled 144 courses that would enable us OLLI folk to learn about aviation, butterflies, cardiovascular health, digital photography, Egypt, French, great books, harmonica, Israel, judging, Kentucky horses, Lincoln, Margaret Mitchell, nitrogen, Oconee River, pinot noir, religion, saxophone, tai chi, UGA, Venezuela, war, and yoga. (Unfortunately, we are not going to learn about anything that begins with q, x, or z. My fault. My apologies.) I would like to thank my hard-working colleagues on the 2013-2014 Curriculum Committee. They are: Connie L. Bruce, Nancy Canolty, Lief Carter, Dona Conway, Ann Crowley, Larry Dendy, Helen Epps, Mark Freeman, Nancy Grayson, Alice Harris, Joe Harris, Karen Kenyon, Jane Kidd, Jim Kissane, Carol Kurtz, Sarah Lawrence, Ruth Rogers, John Rudy, Janice Sladky, Marcy Tanner, Alexis Winger, Madeline Van Dyck. On July 1, when I became President Elect of OLLI, Carol Kurtz became Curriculum Chair. We are fortunate indeed that Carol will take on this responsibility for OLLI. Carol, who is a retired teacher and a natural leader, has been active in many volunteer organizations in Athens, including the Northeast Georgia Girl Scout Council, the Athens Area Cancer Auxiliary, the Jeannette Rankin Foundation, the Athens Chapter of Hadassah, the Athens Clarke Heritage Foundation, the Historic Preservation Commission, the Athens Community Council on Aging, and the Congregation Children of Israel. The spring 2015 curriculum, which Carol will oversee, will be new and exciting. It will feature an array of courses that celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the founding of Learning in Retirement, which became the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. Stay tuned! Carol Kurtz has acquired a reputation for being creative, energetic, responsible, and resourceful. Also wise and witty. And she knows the Athens community well. We are in good hands. Thank you, Carol. Betty Jean Craige

Don’t forget that your membership must be current in order to sign up for our classes and participate in our many Special Interest Groups.

Alphabetic Course Listing with Descriptions Agriculture of the Future J. Scott Angle

Food production must double over the next 35 years. Yet, there is no more soil to cultivate and probably less water for use in the future. Therefore, food production on a per acre basis thus must double during this time. Most of the “easy” technological advances of the “green revolution” have already been incorporated into production systems. The next great leaps forward will come from the incorporation of high technology into agriculture. Several of these technologies will be discussed in the context of their agricultural relevance. You must register for this luncheon program no later than Thursday, September 11. Dr. Scott Angle became the Dean and Director of the UGA College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, August 2005. Before coming to Georgia, he was the Executive Associate Dean and Director of the MD Ag Experiment Station and MD Cooperative Extension at the Univ. of MD College of Agriculture and Natural Resources and the MD Ag Experiment Station. In 2009 and 2010 he was named one of the 100 most influential people in Georgia. He received degrees from the UMD and UMO.

Alexander Pope’s Essay on Man: Reading and Discussion Jack Armistead

This readable and provocative poem is often quoted, for example, “Hope springs eternal,” “Whatever is, is right,” or “The proper study of mankind is man.” But few have read the poem in its entirety. We will meet four times, devoting each meeting to one of the poem’s four verse letters. The letters vary between 294 and 395 lines each. The format will consist of introductory remarks by the instructor followed by open discussion. Prior to the first day of class, students should purchase and read the aforementioned poem, ISBN 0-672-61159-7. Any edition with line numbers, including free online editions, will do. Jack Armistead was Professor of English at the University of Tennessee and liberal arts dean at James Madison and Tennessee Technological universities. He retired as Provost of Tennessee Tech. He is the author of books and articles about English literature 1660-1800, most recently Otherworldly John Dryden (Ashgate 2014). For twenty-five years he served as founding editor of the scholarly journal, Restoration: Studies in English Literature 1660-1700. Tuesdays and Thursdays, October 14, 16, 21, 23, 2014 10:30 - 11:45 AM River’s Crossing 4 sessions 20.00 plus parking ________________________________

Antiques: OLLI@UGA’s Own “Antiques Roadshow” Jill Jayne Read In this class students will learn how antiques professionals identify objects and discover their worth. We will follow a step-by-step process for curating (defining) and then finding the current value (appraising) of objects brought to the class. Each student will learn this process for future use in estate planning and insurance evaluations. An avid student of American antiques, Jill has been studying, collecting, and restoring antiques since she was a teenager. She has been the Proprietor of two businesses that sold antiques and artworks. She currently appraises antiques for insurance and tax purposes. Wednesday, December 3, 2014 9:00 – 11:45 AM River’s Crossing 1 session 8.00 plus parking ________________________________

Army in the Age of the Draft, 1954-1956 Nash Boney This talk will focus on Nash Boney’s experiences in the draftee army in 1954-1956. It’s informal with plenty of chances for comments and questions about basic training at Fort Knox, Counter-Intelligence Corps training at Fort Holabird in Baltimore, and 16 months stationed in Frankfurt/Main, Germany. A few power-point photos will be used. Heavily based on the article “The Army and Me” in the Georgia Historical Quarterly, Summer 2013. A native of Richmond, Virginia, Boney received his Ph.D. at UVA in 1963 thanks to the GI Bill for active service from 1954-1956 in the draftee army. He taught American history at UGA for 28 years and authored many books and articles. Now in retirement, he is writing his memoir that includes a chapter describing his military career mainly in Frankfurt/Main, Germany, in the Counter-Intelligence Corps.

Athens African-American History Tour (on board the Classic City Tour Bus) Rosa Thurmond Aboard Classic City Tours’ comfortable 19-passenger bus, Rosa Thurmond will share heartfelt stories that promise to be both enlightening and inspirational. Mrs. Thurmond covers poignant moments in the transition of schools during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. She will share beautiful stories about community spirit and the teachers and leaders who anchored neighborhoods and shaped the Athens we know today. Her tours are known for their warmth, her personal connection to the city, and are peppered with song. The group will leave the bus for up-close tours of two or three of the following locations (subject to availability): the H.T. Edwards Career Academy, Artist Harold Rittenbury’s sculpture yard, First A.M.E. Church, the Morton Theatre, Gospel Pilgrim Cemetery, and East Athens Community Center. The Athens Welcome Center & Classic City Tours are components of the Athens-Clarke Heritage Foundation, a non-profit serving as the proactive force in developing community-wide understanding of the value of historic buildings, neighborhoods, and heritage of Athens. Classic City Tours offer daily heritage-based tours, and specialty tours, including the Athens African American History Tour with tour guide, Rosa Thurmond. Mrs. Thurmond is a native Athenian, who boasts many firsts. She was the first woman to be recorded live at the Morton Theatre; she was among the first ten AfricanAmerican students who were hand-selected to attend Athens High School in the 1960s, and the first African-American front desk clerk employed by the Clarke County Health Department, where she held a long and interesting career.

Aviation: The Zen of It Jay Shinn Free from two dimensions; seeing clouds from above. The simplicity of early light airplanes to the incredible complexity of today’s airliners and fighters. Inflight navigation over continents, oceans, and jungles, then and now. Sky Gods and Station Managers - the early commercial experience versus today. The view from the ground, and from 35,000 feet. One seeker’s look into the nature of this flying thing. From early childhood Jay has had a fascination with flying and travel. After college and military service, he got his dream job as a pilot with Pan Am that segued to a job with, and eventual retirement from, Delta Airlines. A Louisiana native, Jay holds a BS from Louisiana Tech, an MBA from Tulane University and, something today’s aviation OLLIrare - AinFriend To Goenvironment, a Flight Navigator Certificate.

Backstage at the Opera Frederick Burchinal, Kathy Wright In the first class session, Burchinal will share anecdotes and antics that take place behind the scenes in the world’s opera companies as told from the singer’s point of view. Kathy Wright will lead the second class session, offering a detailed view of the preparation that goes into presenting a professional opera production from the point of view of someone who is not on stage, but is closely involved with every aspect of both rehearsal and performance. As a prompter, she was not only part of the musical and staging, but part of the performance as well. Both Burchinal and Wright will share their adventures, as well as knowledge of the lyric theatre. Until 2006, Frederick Burchinal’s entire life was spent learning about singing, opera roles and performing opera professionally with opera companies worldwide and most notably, twenty-two years as a Metropolitan Opera leading Verdi Baritone. Now his life is devoted to training talented UGA singers who are hoping to have the same incredible experiences that he enjoyed. He is the Wyatt and Margaret Anderson Professor of Voice and Director of Opera, UGA. Ms. Wright moved to Germany in 1989, where her credentials include four years at the Oper der Stadt Köln under James Conlon, two years at the Semper Oper in Dresden under Giuseppe Sinopoli, and four years as a guest artist at the Metropolitan Opera in New York. From 1996 to 2003 she was also a guest in Sydney for the Winter Season of the Australian Opera. She was on the musical staff of the Deutsche Oper Berlin from 2001 to 2011 where again she was privileged to collaborate with many of the well-known singers and conductors of our time, including Christian Thielemann and Donald Runnicles. Ms. Wright joined the faculty of the Hugh Hodgson School of Music at the University of Georgia as Senior Coach for the opera program in the Fall of 2011.

Balancing the Scales: Two Worlds of Passion, Two Careers Seth Hendershot In this course we will discuss business ownership as it pertains to a “brick and mortar” business balanced with self-employment in the arts. It is possible to live out two life goals, and we will discuss the balance required and how to accomplish this through hard work, determination, and delegation. We will also discuss some of the finer points and pitfalls of business ownership as it pertains to customer service and the entertainment industry. Seth Hendershot began his music career at the age of 16 and his coffee career at the age of 19. Both worlds were important to Seth as both worlds were passion-based performance art industries. In music Seth is a drummer, singer, and arranger who performs regularly with the Randall Bramblett Band, Thayer Sarrano, and The Old Skool Trio. In coffee Seth is a Barista, consultant, and business owner who owns Hendershot’s Coffee Bar, Jittery Joe’s at St Mary’s, and Jittery Joe’s at the UGA Law School.

Battle of Little Bighorn: Custer’s Last Stand Mark Rich Fought between a battalion of U.S. Seventh Cavalry led by Lt. Col. George A. Custer and northern tribe Indians, this battle took place on June 25, 1876, near the Little Bighorn River in Montana Territory. In that battle, Custer and his men were overwhelmed and annihilated by a much larger Indian force. Battle of Little Bighorn was part of the broader Great Sioux War of 1876-77. This course will begin with examination of underlying causes of that prolonged and costly war. It will then move to Battle of Little Bighorn with the main focus on the following: (1) orders of battle; (2) Seventh Cavalry movements prior to and during the battle; (3) what is known and/or conjectured about the battle; (4) aftermath. Mark Rich is Professor Emeritus of Geology at UGA. He has made several presentations for OLLI dealing with historic battles and geological aspects of military operations.

Battle of the Bulge: Hitler’s Surprise Christmas Offensive in the West Bill Cosgrove The Battle of the Bulge in the Ardennes Forest of Belgium and Luxembourg was the largest land battle of WW2 for the US Army. This surprise attack, called “Watch on the Rhine” by the Germans, drove a deep wedge into the American lines at a place and time that was least expected. Bill will tell the story of the American soldiers who stopped the onslaught of German troops and armor in the snow blanketed Ardennes Forest. Many “then and now” photographs from Bill’s three visits to the battle area are a focus of the presentation. We will also follow the advance of Kampfgruppe Peiper, the notorious SS battle. Bill is a UGA and Clemson graduate recently retired from the EPA after 35 years of service. He currently serves as an Adjunct Instructor in the UGA College of Public Health. His real passion is World War Two history, and he has made seven trips to the battlefields in Europe. He has made several presentations on the Battle of the Bulge and Operation Nordwind. Bill is the author of Time on Target: the 945th Field Artillery Battalion in World War 2. He works with the Witness to War Foundation interviewing WW2 veterans.

Building the Northern Rockies: Plate Tectonics at Work R. David Dallmeyer The Northern Rocky Mountains extend from the Snake River Plain in central Idaho northward across the Canadian Border. Its complex geological evolution has spanned more than 1,600 million years. The earliest phases of mountain building were associated with plate tectonic subduction beneath the ancient continental margin of North America. This led to development of compressional forces and resultant thrust-related mountain uplift and granite intrusion between 85 and 65 million years ago. Regional compression was followed by thermal relaxation and extensional collapse of the mountain chain along a system of normal faults. The last tectonic event recorded within the Northern Rockies was associated with shearing along the Lewis & Clark fault complex. This course will explore the geological evolution, economic mineralization, and glaciation of the Northern Rockies. The plate tectonic history of the region will be reviewed and correlated with mountain building events and periods of intrusive igneous activity. Glaciers and development of glacial landforms will be discussed. Igneous processes and associated economic mineralization will be described.

Carthage Excavations: Dead Men Do Tell Tales Naomi Norman This lecture will present the results of the UGA excavation of the Yasmina cemetery in Carthage (Tunisia). Excavation in this cemetery uncovered two magnificent funerary portrait statues, several tomb monuments with intriguing figured relief panels, funerary inscriptions, and a number of interesting children’s burials. The lecture will place this material within its wider social, cultural and ritual contexts, and within its archaeological context by looking at evidence from some other Roman cemeteries in North Africa. Of particular interest will be those aspects of the funerary ritual that allude to the Punic heritage of the region.

David Dallmeyer is Emeritus Professor of Geology at UGA and a member of the Environmental Ethics Faculty. His teaching and research focused on processes and chronology of mountain building and plate tectonics with fieldwork on all continents. He organized research expeditions in cooperation with the U.S. Antarctic Research Program and directed research programs in the British Isles, West Africa, China, Greenland, Svalbard, Norway, and the Andes of Chile and Peru.

Cardiovascular Health: What Changes as You Age

Chinese Men and Irish Women in NineteenthCentury San Francisco Popular Culture

Alice Harris

Peter O’Neill

As you age, your heart and blood vessel anatomy and function change. Some of these changes are due to your genetic makeup, but many are strongly affected by your lifestyle choices such as diet, exercise, and stress level. The first class will be devoted to cardiovascular anatomy and physiology. During the second class session, we will discuss the consequences of aging on these structures and how your lifestyle choices affect those changes. Finally, suggestions will be offered as to what you can do to improve your heart and vessel health.

This class investigates the feminization of the Chinese male and the masculinization of the Irish female in San Francisco newspaper cartoons and popular theater during the 1870s.

Dr. Harris is a retired, board-certified Family Practice Physician. After four years as an Occupational Therapist, she earned her medical degree at the University of Minnesota.

Civil Rights and Wrongs: Biography of Judge Elbert Parr Tuttle Anne Emanuel

That Elbert Tuttle, a man born in California and raised in Hawaii, would become Chief Judge of the Fifth Circuit, the federal appellate court with jurisdiction over most of the Deep South (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas) in 1960, could not have been predicted, nor could its consequences. Tuttle’s determination to give life to the promise of Brown v. Board of Education, was critical to the success of the movement led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This biography explores and explains the role he played. Long a pariah, when at the end of his life he was lionized, he would explain that the civil rights opinions were the easiest ones he ever wrote--because the constitutional rights were so compelling, and the wrongs were so enormous. You must register for this luncheon program no later than Thursday, October 30. Professor Emanuel is the author of Elbert Parr Tuttle: Chief Jurist of the Civil Rights Revolution (UGA Press 2011). She clerked for Judge Tuttle from 197576; worked for the law firm of Huie Brown and Ide from 1976-1978; clerked for Chief Justice Harold Hill of the Georgia Supreme Court from 1978-1986; and was a member of the faculty at Georgia State University College of Law from 1986-2012. From 2004-2006, she served as Chair of Georgia’s ABA Death Penalty Moratorium Implementation Committee.

Civil Rights: The Work of Donald L. Hollowell

Climate Change: Facing the Inconvenient Truth

Maurice C. Daniels

Rich Rusk

Daniels will provide an overview of the civil rights work of Donald L. Hollowell during the 1950s and 1960s. The course will include a summary of Hollowell’s activism and lawyering that led to the desegregation of the University of Georgia as well as other educational institutions in the state of Georgia. It will also cover Hollowell’s activism and legal work that advanced many civil rights causes, including equal access to public accommodations, health care, voting rights, and the right of blacks to serve on juries.

Recently trained by Al Gore’s Climate Reality Project, Rich will blend Mr. Gore’s riveting slides on climate change with his personal journey facing Vietnam’s carnage and his father’s role as secretary of state. Moving from fish to science, Rich’s sequel to “Climate Change From a Fly Fisher’s Perspective” will craft the best of Al Gore for an OLLI audience. Sugar coating nothing, focusing heavily on global impacts and brutal realities, Gore’s leavening mix of progress, potential, and hope has Rich selling his rentals to work full time on climate. “Be careful,” Rich warns. “Gore may do the same to you!”

Confucian Culture in Modern Korea Hyangsoon Yi

Confucianism has served as a backbone of Korean culture since the Choson Dynasty (1392-1910). Although industrialization, westernization, and urbanization have posed serious challenges to the traditional Confucian teachings, their rich legacies are still widely discerned in modern Korean society. This course will introduce basic tenets of Confucianism, their development during the Choson period, and their influence on the digitalized and nomadic contemporary lifestyle of many Koreans today. Special attention will be paid to both changing views on and enduring forces of the Confucian values on family lineage, moral education, and communal harmony. Hyangsoon Yi is Professor of Comparative Literature and Director of UGA Korean Language and Literature. She received her Ph.D. in English from Pennsylvania State University.

Cooling Technologies for Low Resource Settings William S. Kisaalita

Unacceptable postharvest losses in developing economies are attributable to absence of well-established cold chains. This means lower farmer incomes, poor nutritional outcomes, and greater pressure on land to serve an ever growing population. Sustainable and scalable innovations to address this problem are actively being sought. This presentation will explore technologies developed or in development and appraise them with respect to their potential to succeed in low-resource market settings. Dr. Kisaalita is a professor of engineering at the University of Georgia. He obtained a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of British Columbia. He directs a research and design program in which students develop technology for those at the bottom of the economic pyramid (e.g., smallholder farmers of Sub-Saharan Africa). The program has been funded externally (e.g., NSF and USAID). His work has been recognized through numerous teaching and research awards.

Extremism and Democracy

Fixing Our Public Schools: Who? What? How? When? Why?

Cas Mudde Most people today believe that democracy is the best political system. This notwithstanding, western democracies are still regularly challenged by (domestic and foreign) extremist forces. Democracies have responded in many different ways, trying to find the best balance between freedom and security. This course tries to answer the question: How can western democracies defend themselves without undermining their own core values? We will focus on different extremist challengers and democratic responses, from the far right to Jihadists, and from ‘ag gag’ laws to the USA PATRIOT Act. Cas Mudde is Associate Professor in the School of Public and International Affairs (SPIA) at UGA. Born and educated in the Netherlands, he has taught at various universities in Europe and the US. He is an internationally renowned expert on political extremism in western democracies. Among his publications are Populist Radical Right Parties in Europe (Cambridge UP, 2007), Populism in Europe and the Americas: Threat or Corrective for Democracy? (Cambridge UP, 2012) and Political Extremism (SAGE, 2014). Monday and Friday, September 8 and 12, 2014 1:00 - 3:45 PM River’s Crossing 2 sessions 14.00 plus parking ________________________________

Garden of Eden at Night: Moths, Pollination Services, and Climate Change Jim Porter Our food supply depends on “pollination services.” One third of every bite we eat is due to pollination by bees, but another third is pollinated by wild insects. Pollinator populations are in decline. It is well known that butterflies and hummingbirds are pollinators, but we are learning that moths may be the most important group of pollinators after bees. Moths in Georgia come in an astonishing range of colors, shapes, and sizes, from large luna moths to tiny specks the size of a pin head. Climate change is causing severe threats to pollinators. Plants are triggered to bloom based on day-length, but insects emerge based on temperature. As the world warms, pollinators emerge earlier and earlier, but the flowers they pollinate don’t. This temporal mismatch is worrisome to ecologists and agricultural scientists. Dr. Porter will display several hundred moth specimens from his collection. So if possible, come a few minutes early, or stay a few minutes afterward, to see this amazing collection of moths from Georgia and around the world. Dr. Porter is Meigs Professor of Ecology at the UGA. He received his B.S. in Biology at Yale University where he studied butterflies and moths and met both Nabokov (who was studying the Lyciniid Blue Butterflies) and Robert Frost (who collected New England moths). After having collected moths and butterflies as a child, Dr. Porter has taken up this interest again here in Georgia. He is one of only four UGA faculty members to have won both its top research and teaching awards. In 2007, he won the Ecological Society of America’s Environmental Educator of the Year Award. Although Dr. Porter is now a marine ecologist, he returned to entomological studies while teaching ecology in Costa Rica, and is under contract to produce a monograph on the Cloud Forest Butterflies of Costa Rica.

Geology: How to Find a Fossil Steven Holland Fossils are rare, and paleontologists spend many hours in the field searching for their remains, often unsuccessfully. Fortunately, advances in the study of sedimentary rock that revolutionized how geologists find oil and natural gas have also revolutionized how paleontologists search for fossils. Drawing on several examples, this course will show how paleontologists previously discovered fossils. The course will also touch on how these techniques allow geologists to find oil and natural gas. Steven Holland is a ProfessorOLLI of Geology at the University of Georgia. Dr. - BB&T Holland’s research focuses on the study of sedimentary rocks and the Feb. 2014 ecology of ancient marine life.

Geoscience to the Rescue: Leaning Tower of Pisa Mark Rich Begun in 1173 and completed two centuries later, this “architectural peculiarity” has had a remarkable history. Leaning began as the tower was being built, and, toward the close of the 20th Century, the 186-foot tower was out of plumb by nearly 13 feet! Corrective measures had to be taken to prevent its collapse but still maintain it in its leaning position as a tourist attraction. This class will cover the following topics: 1) phases in construction of the tower; 2) factors, especially geological and pedological, involved in its leaning; and 3) recent geotechnical measures that have been taken in order to stabilize it in its present leaning position for centuries to come. Mark Rich is Professor Emeritus of Geology at UGA. He has extensive experience in regional geology, sedimentology, and marine science. He has worked as a consultant in environmental assessment and characterization of commercial properties. He received his degrees from UCLA, University of Southern California, and University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Global Animal Health Corrie Brown Livestock health is essential for the success of rural societies. The smallholder family, found throughout the developing world, depends on the health of their animals for periodic cash income, as well as for animal-source protein to prevent malnutrition and cognitive stunting. Additionally, globalization has provided a pathway for the smallholders’ animals and their products to access the global marketplace, thus potentially providing a path out of poverty for whole communities and nations. Animal health issues impacting global poverty reduction will be discussed, including cultural, religious, and social implications. Corrie Brown is a veterinary pathologist who has spent the last 30 years working on infectious diseases of food-producing animals, with a focus on improving smallholder livelihoods in the developing world. She has worked or taught in more than 50 countries, and relishes the cross-cultural interactions that inform us about key differences in core values around the world.

The scientific evidence that the Earth’s climate has warmed over the past century is very well documented. Nonetheless, considerable controversy surrounds the subject of global climate change and more specifically the role that humans may be playing in that change. This presentation will cover the evidence for current and ongoing global warming, the possible role that human activity is playing in that warming, and the various parties who are lobbying for or against action to be taken to mitigate these changes.

We read short items and selections from some of the world’s best fiction and non-fiction. As well as interesting insights, we strive for personal growth and social engagement. This term we will read the selections in the Great Books Foundation anthology Great Conversations 4. http://tinyurl.com/OlliGB4

Gulliver’s Travels: What is Swift Telling Us? James Kissane

Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels (1726) is an enduring treasure of English literature, an ingenious work of the satiric imagination full of riotous humor, sharp wit, arresting insight, exasperation, rage, and downright disgust. Such a range of qualities makes it challenging to read and stimulating to discuss. Our discussions in this four-session course are bound to consider the question of whether and how Swift’s complex satire speaks to our own time. Class members should have read “Part 1. A Voyage to Lilliput” prior to the first meeting. Any reliable edition of Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels will do. “Norton Critical” (paperback) and “Dover Thrift” (paperback or Kindle) are both excellent. Dr. Kissane holds a Ph.D. in English from The Johns Hopkins University and is Professor Emeritus of Literature at Grinnell College, where he taught for 38 years. His publications include books, articles, and reviews on a variety of mostly 19th- and 20th-century topics and writers. In past semesters he has presented several different courses for LIR/OLLI.

Handel’s Messiah: What it Means Dale Monson

Handel’s Messiah was written in the musical styles of the late Baroque, a period of profound - even Romantic - expression and intentions. Using the interpretive musical devices and conventions of his German/Italian/English heritage Handel created an expressive landscape that captured the meaning of this text in one of the greatest masterpieces of our musical heritage. The meaning is often plain, when you know what to listen for - and we’ll explore some of those great moments in this class. Dale Monson is Director of Hugh Hodgson School of Music, University of Georgia; previously Director of Music School at Brigham Young University. He holds a PhD in Historical Musicology from Columbia University (1982), and has publications in history of opera in 18th century, aesthetics, early Romanticism, Stravinsky. His wife Ruth, who will assist with the class, is a professional violinist with experience also in early music performance (Baroque violin).

Hugh Ruppersburg A discussion of O Brother, Where Art Thou?, a 2000 film written and directed by the Coen brothers. A historical fantasy rather than a realistic portrayal, an encyclopedia of southern cultural icons from the 1930s, a menagerie of half-dreamed memories, myths, tall tales, and distorted realities, “O Brother” evokes and celebrates the folklore and traditions of the American South without ignoring the realities of racism. It highlights what the Coens see as some of the great contributions of the South to American culture: a rich tradition of music and comic narrative that are basic elements of the nation’s culture. Attendees should view the film prior to coming to the session.

Anne Glass

Tim Crimmins

In this informative and interactive presentation, the class will discuss when and how to determine if you can and should “age in place,” or whether a move might better suit your needs. Examples of retirement communities and other housing choices, both across the United States and internationally, will be shared. A wide array of new options, such as elder cohousing and “aging better together intentionally,” will also be highlighted. There will be opportunities to discuss your own preferences for housing.

Using photographs and maps, this course will illustrate the changing landscape of the Atlanta region. It will begin with the creation of county-seat settlements when lands were ceded by Creek and Cherokee tribes in the early and mid-19th century. It will trace the development of a rail transit nexus and the expansion of a compact city beginning in the mid-19th century through the mid-20th century. It will conclude with a depiction of the sprawling metropolitan region of the late 20th century.

Anne Glass, Ph.D., is internationally known as a leading researcher in the field of elder, self-directed, intentional communities. She is especially interested in the potential for older adults to provide mutual support and age better together, and how communities can facilitate this process. She is an Associate Professor and the Associate Director of the Institute of Gerontology in the College of Public Health at the University of Georgia. Visit her website: www.eldercohousing.info

Tim Crimmins has been on the faculty of Georgia State University since 1972.

Islamic Spirituality: Faith, Submission and Beauty Kenneth Honerkamp The instructor’s goals for participants in this class are to gain understanding of Islam within the framework of spirituality, to appreciate the richness and diversity of Islamic culture, and to become aware of the need for dialogue with Muslims in our contemporary world. The general goal is to open a window for the student upon the “Muslim world view” as perceived by Muslims themselves with an aim toward increasing our understanding and appreciation of this rich and diverse culture. It is also hoped that the view through the “window of the Muslim world view” will also provide the student a window from which to view his or her own world. Prior to the first day of class, students should purchase and read Submission Faith & Beauty: The Religion of Islam by J.Lumbard, published by Zaytuna Institute. Dr. Honerkamp is a professor in the Department of Religion at the University of Georgia at Athens, where he teaches Introduction to the World’s Religions, Islamic Studies and Arabic.

Lincoln Image and Civil War Photography Stephen Berry

“I cannot see why all you artists want a likeness of me,” Lincoln told one portrait-maker in 1858, “unless it is because I am the homeliest man in the State of Illinois.” Despite his unusual looks (or perhaps because of them), Lincoln’s face is now one of the most recognizable in the world. Come learn what Lincoln and his contemporaries thought of his face; how and when some of the most famous portraits of him and his family members were made; and how photography changed the face of both politics and war in the United States. Stephen Berry is Gregory Professor of the Civil War Era at the University of Georgia and the author or editor of four books on America in the midnineteenth century, including House of Abraham: Lincoln and the Todds, A Family Divided by War. Berry is co-director, with Claudio Saunt, of UGA’s Center for Virtual History, and co-editor, with Amy Murrell Taylor, of the UnCivil Wars series at the University of Georgia Press.

Medici Patronage in the Fifteenth Century Brunelleschi to Michelangelo Shelley Zuraw In popular culture the Medici are infamous as double-dealing, backstabbing manipulators in Florence and, indeed, all Europe. In the world of “high culture” - art history - they are famous for their extraordinary perspicacity. They ordered, purchased, or stole works of art by the most important artists of their time -Brunelleschi, Donatello, Fra Angelico, Botticelli, Michelangelo to name just a few - while simultaneously building one of the largest collections of ancient art, Byzantine art as well as manuscripts and books anywhere in Europe. This talk will consider both the significance of the collection and the family as collectors. You must register for this luncheon program no later than Thursday, August 28. Shelley Zuraw completed her dissertation for the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University, on the Florentine fifteenth-century sculptor Mino da Fiesole. Since 1992 she has been at the University of Georgia where she teaches Art and Architecture from 1260 until 1680 in Europe. Since 2007 she has taken a group of science majors to Italy every Maymester. Her particular area of research focus remains sculpture in Italy ca. 1400-1550.

Medieval Knights and Emerging Nation States: The Curious Tale of the Twelve of England Noel Fallows

The course focuses on an Arthurian-style chivalric legend set in the late fourteenth century. A scandal broke out at the household of John of Gaunt, the Duke of Lancaster, when a group of twelve petulant English knights insulted the twelve ladies-in-waiting of the Duke’s wife, calling them ugly to their faces. Outraged, the ladies sought redress, but not a single Englishman would come to their defense. Desperate for help, the Duke appealed to his son-in-law, King João I of Portugal. Enter the “Twelve of England,” a team of Portuguese knights who travel to England to fight for the ladies’ honor. The course will discuss the meaning and purpose of this curious and engaging tale, which has survived in just one extant manuscript. Noel Fallows is Associate Dean and Professor of Spanish; he is also a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London. His work focuses on Medieval and Renaissance chivalric culture, with emphasis on the Iberian Peninsula. He has published books and articles on topics as varied as jousts, tournaments, military medicine, early equine medicine, knightly cults of wounds, propaganda campaigns, psychological warfare, mounted combat and riding techniques, and arms and armor. His research publications have garnered numerous international awards. Monday, December 1, 2014 1:00 – 2:15 PM River’s Crossing 1 session 8.00 plus parking ________________________________

Mercury: Is it Really Bad for You? Anne Summers

Mercury (Hg) is one of the few elements which many people have routinely seen and even used in pure form (e.g., in old-fashioned fever thermometers) or in first-aid (e.g. Mercurichrome). Many know they eat an organic form of mercury with most fish. The environmentally-aware know that fossil fuel use releases hundreds of tons of Hg into the atmosphere annually, and a few may be aware that certain dental fillings release Hg continuously. With such widespread, long-standing and expanding dissemination of Hg, why does anyone think it is bad for us? In addition to some answers to this question, attendees will learn how mercury interacts with living systems, of current international efforts to minimize Hg exposure, and of ongoing work in therapy for Hg poisoning. Anne Summers studied chemistry and microbiology at the University of Illinois-Urbana and worked in virology at Eli Lilly and St. Louis University before focusing on the molecular biology of Hg for her Ph.D. at Washington University. After post-doctoral training at University of Virginia and Harvard Medical School she joined UGA’s Microbiology Department in 1977 where she and her students continue to study this versatile and paradoxical toxic metal.

Michelangelo: After the Good, Comes the Bad and the Ugly Shelley Zuraw Following on the January 2014 discussion of Michelangelo’s famous (good) works, this class will be devoted to those that might be characterized as bad (failures) and ugly (unlike the Sistine Ceiling). We will consider the Risen Christ, the Last Judgment, the Pauline Chapel as well as the Florentine Pietà, in order to address aspects of Michelangelo’s career that appeal less to modern sensibilities, but had more impact on his contemporaries.

Navigating the Bonus Years Chuck Brodie “Retirement age” signals the start of a 20-30 year period marked by many important decisions and challenges. Because this bonus period was rarely available sixty years ago, it is misunderstood by popular culture. With no established wisdom on how to live these years, we must make it up as we go along. This course has no reading requirement but provides some information and a framework for serious thought and discussion. Dr. Brodie is a semi-retired psychologist specializing in concerns related to aging.

Obesity: A Chronic Inflammatory Disease Prevention, Treatment and Recovery Joseph B. Gentzel, PT, DPT The failure of public health measures associated with overweight and obesity (O&O) will be reviewed. With O&O presently affecting 2/3 of the general population and that number projected to reach as much as 100% by 2048, evolving science holds some keys for reversing this public health pandemic. Strategies for prevention, treatment, and recovery from this complex medical and public health problem are being identified. O&O’s intimate link with diabetes, heart disease, cancer, kidney disease, and other chronic inflammatory disease will be reviewed. Some practical evidencebased novel, intervention strategies will be presented. Dr. Gentzel, a physical therapist since 1968, completed his doctoral degree with concentration in obesity and chronic disease from the University of South Dakota in 2012. His lifelong obesity resulted in his weighing 360 pounds in 2002.

Plate Tectonics Models Gone Wrong? Cape Ann, New Madrid, and Charleston Earthquakes Mark Rich Most large earthquakes occur along or near tectonic plate boundaries. For this reason, large scale, intense earthquakes are rare in Eastern North America. Cape Ann earthquake (1755) off the coast of Massachusetts, New Madrid earthquakes (Dec. 1811-Feb. 1812) in southeastern Missouri, and Charleston earthquake (1886) in eastern South Carolina remain the most severe historic shocks to have hit the Eastern United States. They occurred at great distances from plate boundaries, and the faults responsible are not exposed. In this course, the regional geologic settings of these earthquakes will be examined and recent investigations and models to explain them will be evaluated. Dr. Rich is Professor Emeritus of Geology at UGA. He has extensive experience in regional geology, glacial geology, sedimentology, environmental geology, and marine science. He has worked as a consultant in environmental assessment and remediation of commercial properties. His travels have taken him to all of the seven continents and to Greenland and Iceland. He received his degrees from UCLA, University of Southern California, and University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He is a Senior Fellow in the Geological Society of America and a Registered Professional Geologist in the State of Georgia.

Poetry from the Great War (1914-1918) James Kissane This year marks the centenary of what was certainly one of the most consequential wars in modern history. Its impact (and perhaps its lesson) is deeply and unforgettably reflected in the poetry written by those who fought in it. In this two-session course we will read and discuss some of the more significant work of the poets who wrote about World War One. Dr. Kissane will provide the readings for the course. James Kissane holds a Ph.D. from The Johns Hopkins University and is Professor Emeritus of Literature at Grinnell College where he taught for 38 years. In past semesters he has presented several different courses for LIR/ OLLI. Among his publications (on a variety of mostly 19th and 20th-century topics and writers) is a biography of a once-famous WWI writer, Without Parade: The Life and Work of Donald Hankey, ‘A Student in Arms’.

Poultry, Chickens and Me Nick Dale Poultry is the largest industry in Georgia. Chicken and eggs are a significant part of what we eat, and the whole process from the hatchery to the table is fascinating. Add to this all the issues that find their way into the press, such as: what do they really eat?, why do they grow so fast?, are hormones and antibiotics used?, what about environmental impact?, are chickens treated

Religion, Righteousness and Human Violence Lief Carter Throughout history, from the wars celebrated in Hindu mythology to the Crusades to the Holocaust, the righteousness that we associate with religions and religious fundamentalism appears to be a major cause of the worst atrocities that humans commit. Professor Carter’s career analyzing the politics of the legal process has steered him to look closely at the causes of violent atrocities, to examine the extent to which righteousness is a principal cause of violence, and to ask to what extent such relatively modern ideas as the rule of law and scientific skepticism can effectively offset the causes of human violence. Robust discussion of the positive and negative roles that religions play in human societies will be strongly encouraged. Dr. Carter received his A.B. from Harvard College in 1962 and a law degree from Harvard Law School in 1965. He was a Peace Corps volunteer (Bolivia) in 1966-67 and received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1972. Dr. Carter taught political science at the University of Georgia until 1995. He twice received UGA’s Josiah Meigs Teaching Award. He became the McHugh Family Distinguished Professor at Colorado College in 1995 and became a professor emeritus at the College in 2008. He is the author of The Limits of Order, Reason in Law, Contemporary Constitutional Lawmaking, and many other articles, books, and book chapters. His interests include music, cinema, and current affairs. Thursday, October 2, 2014 9:30 - 11:30 AM River’s Crossing 1 session 8.00 plus parking ________________________________

Scotland: Independent? - What Might Happen on September 18 Ian Hardin

On September 18, 2014, Scottish voters will decide whether or not to become a separate country once again. The joining of the crowns in 1603 and the parliaments in 1707 would be reversed, and the small country of 5 million people would be on its own again. Many important questions are raised by the possibility of a “yes” vote. This course will survey the history of the connection between Scotland and England, the important questions being debated in Scotland and, after the vote, what the future may hold for this small, but amazingly influential, country. Ian Hardin was born in Scotland of a Scottish mother and an American father. He came to the U.S. at the age of two. All of his mother’s family are still in Scotland, and he visits there most years. His mother inculcated him with all things Scottish, particularly Robert Burns. He has followed the devolution question closely, and discusses this on a regular basis with cousins in Scotland by Skype.

Shakespeare to Worcestershire on a Canal Narrowboat Mark Freeman

One can travel almost anywhere in England on canals, as well as into Scotland and Wales. With another couple, Mark and his late wife “hired a narrowboat” and went up the River Avon, to Warwick Castle, to Birmingham, to Worcester, and down the Severn, returning to Stratford. Even if you have very little money and very little seamanship, this course will show you how you can do it too. Mark Freeman operated his first boat at the age of 11 and has been running boats ever since, mostly sailboats, but also motorized craft on the canals of England and France. He has taught every level from fourth grade to adults. He says adults are the hardest to teach.

Soap Making 101

Songwriting - Beginning

Suzanne Bourgeois

Don Gnecco

Learn the art of cold process soap making in an environment that lends itself to the trade. Be prepared to be amazed! We will be using lye. Goggles, masks and gloves will be provided. Discussions will include the history of soap making, “what’s hiding in your soap?”, and the difference between fragrance and essential oils. The course fee includes a materials fee to cover the cost of items needed for this hands-on class.

If you’ve ever had a tune rattling around in your head, or if you’ve found yourself making up songs for your children or grandchildren, you may be a closet songwriter! This course will explore the rudiments of songwriting and ways in which you can “write down” those melodies. If you sing or play an instrument, so much the better. The goal is to write and perform or record one song by the end of the course. You need not have studied music but, rather, that you feel you have a song in you!

The instructor will take a hands-on approach while walking through the planning and execution of public speaking. Participants will leave with a concrete way to share their ideas with clarity, humor, and confidence!

Johnny Mercer’s Popular Song Wednesday, September 17, 2014 Glenn Eskew The jazz infused music Savannah native Johnny Mercer (1909-1976) produced as the writer of nearly 1,500 songs, as president of Capitol Records which he cofounded in 1942, and as one of the country’s foremost midcentury performers, helped transform popular song at home and abroad, as he joined other southern diaspora entertainers with whom he worked such as Billie Holiday, Dinah Shore, Nat “King” Cole, and Harry James, in creating the global soundtrack of the American Consensus. Written for Hollywood musicals, Broadway shows, and radio, such Mercer standards as “Skylark,” “Laura,” “Autumn Leaves,” “Satin Doll,” “Black Magic,” “Moon River,” continually regenerate as each generation discovers anew these immortal contributions to the Great American Songbook. Prior to the first day of class, students should purchase and listen to “Too Marvelous for Words” Capitol Sings Johnny Mercer. Audio CD, MP3, cassette or vinyl recording are fine. Teaching at Georgia State University since 1993, Professor of History Glenn T. Eskew researches the U. S. South, a subject he studied as a graduate student at the University of Georgia from 1985-1993. His dissertation, published by UNC Press as the award-winning But For Birmingham, recounts the civil rights

struggle. He has published books on Augusta and southern labor with UGA Press, the publisher of his biography, Johnny Mercer: Southern Songwriter for the World. Eskew has lectured widely on these topics, frequently working with schoolteachers.

Jeannette Rankin Wednesday, October 1, 2014 Sue Lawrence A panel comprised of JRF’s founding mothers will discuss Jeannette Rankin - her values and contributions to society - along with the educational climate in the 1970’s when the organization was established. Sue Lawrence will follow by illustrating JRF’s phases of growth from Rankin’s modest bequest into today’s organization that impacts women’s lives across the U.S. How do mission, leadership, risk and message factor into success? Discussion will follow. Sue Lawrence serves as the Executive Director of Jeannette Rankin Foundation (JRF), a national organization that was established in Athens, Georgia in 1976. During her tenure, JRF has grown from $90,000 in total scholarships awarded in 2003 to $1.8 million awarded in 2012. Sue is inspired by the incredible women who are JRF scholars; they are building better lives for themselves and future generations.

Russian Art History

Friday, October 17, 2014 Charles Platter

Tuesday, November 11, 2014 Asen Kirin

Although the ancient Greeks have a reputation for seriousness, they appreciated the comic side of life as well and incorporated it into their most important celebrations. In Athens, comic plays were staged from an early date and comic writers were well-known public figures. We will trace the history of comedy in Athens, focusing on the work of Aristophanes, the greatest comic writer of his generation.

Join Professor Kirin as he discusses Russian Art History.

Charles Platter has been a professor in the Department of Classics at the University of Georgia since 1990. He was an undergraduate at Grinnell College and received a Ph.D. in Classics from the University of North Carolina. He is particularly interested in Greek Old Comedy (Aristophanes) and philosophy.

Asen Kirin teaches history of Late Antique, Byzantine and Russian art and architecture. His original training, which was in Slavonic languages and literature, took place in Sofia, Bulgaria and Moscow, Russia. He acquired a Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in Art History from Vanderbilt University and a Ph.D. from Princeton University. He joined the faculty at the School of Art at UGA after spending a year at Harvard Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dumbarton Oaks Foundation.
