| In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto with Michael Pollan |
|
Monday, Nov. 23 |
3:00 AM |
| "Eat Food. Not too much. Mostly
plants." These words to live by from the award-winning author Michael
Pollan resonate at the heart of his newest work, In Defense of Food: An
Eater's Manifesto. He considers what science does and does not know about
diet and health, proposing a new way of thinking about food that is informed
by ecology and tradition. Pollan is Knight Professor of Journalism at UC
Berkeley. |

|
| What are the most salient and significant
features of the current offensive directed against the State of Israel and
Jewish communities around the world? Robert Wistrich, Director of the Vidal
Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism at The Hebrew
University of Jerusalem, examined key facets of the challenge and danger that
emanates from the new anti-Semitism, including its connections with the
global Jihad. He also explored some possible responses and strategies in
dealing with this threat. |

Meaning of Chosenness in Judaism, Christianity and Islam |
|
Monday, Nov. 09 |

| Who is most beloved by God? Monotheists
have often advanced the idea that their relationship with God is unique and
superior to all others. Rabbi Reuven Firestone explores the idea of
"chosenness" as articulated through the scriptures of the three
major monotheistic religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. |

| Thought for Food: Literature and
Gastronomy |
|
Monday, Nov. 09 |
3:00 AM |
| Adopting a multidisciplinary
approach called gastro-criticism that draws upon anthropology, sociology,
semiotics,
history, and literary studies, Professor Ronald Tobin, Associate Vice
Chancellor, UC Santa Barbara, elucidates the role of food, service, spectacle,
diet, ingestion, and digestion in a number of works drawn from a variety of
national literatures. He concludes with specific reference to the
seventeenth-century French comic dramatist Moliére and his preoccupations
with sexuality and power, pretense and pretentiousness, trickery and truth,
self and society. |

| Renewable energy. In one hour we get
enough sunlight on the earth to power the planet for a year. The molecular
design of new materials for efficient harvesting of photons from the sun is

sustainable, safe, and high-energy. Alan Heeger, Lon Bell and Jean-Marie
Tarason explore new ways to meet our energy needs. |
