SUMMARY:Philosophy Study Group
DESCRIPTION:We will begin a discussion of the book When They Severed Earth from Sky: How the Human Mind Shapes Myth (2004) by Elizabeth Wayland Barber and Paul T. Barber. For the 12th we’ll read the first ten chapters. This is a book about how myth operates in preliterate societies by taking advantage of aspects of the human mind that we are just beginning to learn about. Joseph Campbell it is not. \nUnfortunately\, this is not an inexpensive book\, though it’s still not like buying a textbook. A new paperback lists for $35 and even an ebook starts at $20. We’re going with it anyway\, since inflation has recently driven prices of many commodities significantly higher and we do our best to stay current. Perhaps you could negotiate to get the seller to include a dozen eggs. \n

SUMMARY:History Study Group
DESCRIPTION:We will continue discussing the book\, 1493: Uncovering the New World Columbus Created\, by Charles Mann\, by reading Parts Two and Three. \nPreviously we spent time examining the worldwide boom in New World tobacco sales\, the global spread of malaria into subtropical and even temperate areas\, and the huge expansion of slavery\, particularly the African slave trade. Now we will go into more detail about the galleon trade between China and Europe\, originally of New World silver for silk and porcelain\, and the consequences for both areas. \nAnd we will look at the spread of New World agricultural species like sweet potatoes\, corn\, and potatoes – accompanied by its pests and diseases – and the profound effects it had on the rest of the world.And then we will spend time on how rubber changed the world\, both good and bad. If you find these things interesting\, we invite you to join us. If not\, maybe you would be happier in another group\, like maybe one that counts pretty pebbles.
