Toby Lester - The Fourth Part Of The World
Start: 7:00 pm
End: 8:00 pm
The first map to depict the world essentially as we know it today was the Waldseemuller Map, which dates from1507. Among its many cartographical breakthroughs, it represented the New World—labeled as America—as a separate continent, and suggested the existence of the Pacific Ocean. Lester’s narrative history chronicles how European mapmakers pieced together this new picture of the world from the earlier expeditions of Vespucci, Marco Polo, and the ancients.
Al Gore - Our Choice @ GW Lisner Auditorium
Start: 7:00 pm
End: 8:00 pm
The former Vice President and environmental leader has conducted "Solutions Summits" with top scientists, engineers, and policy experts to search for ways of dealing with the climate change crisis. Our Choice draws on conclusions developed through those summits as well as on extensive research, describing how the choices necessary to save the Earth can be the foundations of policies to create new jobs and stimulate sustainable economic progress.
