SUMMARY:History Study Group
DESCRIPTION:We will be reading and discussing If a Pirate I Must Be: The True Story of Black Bart\, “King of the Caribbean Pirates” by Richard Sellers \nHow much did the pirate pay for his peg and hook? An arm and a leg! \nBartholomew Roberts\, aka Black Bart\, a great Caribbean pirate. Drinking tea instead of rum\, banning women and gambling\, he never made his prisoners walk the plank. Evidently there are many more interesting facts to discover\, so say the reviews! \nRead what you can and join us for a jolly good time. It is sure to be a discussion unlike any we’ve had before. Until then watch out for pirate ships; they’re assailing vessels. \n

SUMMARY:Can understanding of urban ecosystems improve our odds?
DESCRIPTION:Following many centuries of mostly agrarian lives\, more than half of the people on our planet now live in cities.  Early industrial cities were a mess\, choked with smog\, filthy water\, large epidemics\, to the point that lifespans around 1900 were shorter for folks living in cities than the countryside. \nThis talk examines the progress we’ve made\, and some ideas for future progress\, illustrated in part by Larry Baker’s own research. We’ll continue this vein with a structured discussion to dive deeper on the topic of “improving our odds” for the livability of cities in the future \nMost of Larry’s career was in academia.  His research applied his hybrid education in environmental engineering and ecology to the study of applied biogeochemistry\, with a focus on human ecosystems – cities and farms.  He generally focuses on water quality\, seeking practical solutions from a biogeochemical perspective\, often working in Pasteur’s quadrant\, combining practice and theory.  Recent projects have focused on nutrient flows in urban stormwater\, agricultural P balances\, urban road salt management\, and water policy. He often collaborates with scholars\, ranging from social sciences to animal and crop science to civil engineering. Now retired\, he is an embryonic novelist\, working on a historical fiction about the early Puebloans in the “Basketmaker era” and serves as a board member of the DFL Environmental Caucus
