We will discuss chapters 4 – 8 of the book, Science Set Free: 10 Paths to New Discovery by Rupert Sheldrake. Sheldrake had no defenders in our first session on this book, but we still had a good discussion. Imagine what might happen if someone agrees with him.
We will conclude our book Midnight's Furies: the Deadly Legacy of India's Partition (2015) by Nisid Hajari. We assure you that there will be no partitioning done at this meeting ...unless, of course, it's really necessary.
We meet at Cherokee Park along the Mississippi River at the small shelter. Bring a dish to share. Help us celebrate summer by socializing and getting to know fellow MISF members in a more informal setting and in adventures in eating!
