BRIAN FAGAN, Ph.D. at Town Hall Seattle

11/03/2009 7:00 pm
Presented by FOUNDATION FOR THE FUTURE. The second speaker in Foundation For the Future's Walter P. Kistler Lecture Series, following Dr. Donald C. Johanson in late September, is acclaimed archaeological author Brian Fagan. Professor emeritus of anthropology from the University of California at Santa Barbara, he is the author of numerous major works. His lecture this evening is "Water: The Elixir of Humanity." Among his most recent books are The Great Warming: Climate Change and the Rise and Fall of Civilizations (Bloomsbury USA) and a just published volume Professor Fagan edited, The Complete Ice Age: How Climate Change Shaped the World (Thames & Hudson). "This is not only World History at its best, sweeping across all of humankind with a coherent vision, but also a feat of imagination and massive research. If Fagan has given the medieval period throughout the globe a new dimension, he has at the same time issued an irrefutable warning about climate change that is deeply troubling." - Theodore Rabb on The Great Warming. Free admission. Town Hall Seattle is at 1119 Eighth Avenue (at Seneca). For more information, please see www.futurefoundation.org.
