LOCATION:UA Biosphere 2\, 32540 S. Biosphere Road
SUMMARY:Tyler Volk - Presentation and Book Signing
DESCRIPTION:Tyler Volk\, an associate professor at New York University and author of \"CO2 Rising\: The World's Greatest Environmental Challenge\,\" will give a presentation and book signing.   The most colossal environmental disturbance in human history is under way. Ever-rising levels of the potent greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) are altering the cycles of matter and life and interfering with Earth's natural cooling process. Melting Arctic ice and mountain glaciers are just the first relatively mild symptoms of what will result from this disruption of the planetary energy balance. In \"CO2 Rising\,\" Volk explains the process at the heart of global warming and climate change\: the global carbon cycle. Volk describes what happens when CO2 is released by the combustion of fossil fuels\, letting loose carbon atoms once trapped deep underground into the interwoven web of air\, water and soil. Demonstrating how the carbon cycle works\, Volk traces the paths that carbon atoms take during their global circuits. Showing us the carbon cycle from a carbon atom's viewpoint\, he follows one carbon atom into a barley leaf\, then into an alcohol molecule in a glass of beer\, through the human bloodstream\, and then back into the air. He also compares the fluxes of carbon brought into the biosphere naturally with those created by the combustion of fossil fuels and explains why the latter are responsible for rising temperatures. Knowledge about the global carbon cycle and the huge disturbances that human activity produces in it will equip us to consider the hard questions that Volk raises in the second half of CO2 Rising\: projections of future levels of CO2\; which energy systems and processes (solar\, wind\, nuclear\, carbon sequestration?) will power civilization in the future\; the relationships among the wealth of nations\, energy use and CO2 emissions\; and global equity in per capita emissions. Answering these questions will indeed be our greatest environmental challenge.

LOCATION:St. Philip's in the Hills Episcopal Church\, 4440 N. Campbell Ave.
SUMMARY:Division for Late Medieval and Reformation Studies' Summer Lecture Series 2009
DESCRIPTION:The University  of Arizona's Division for Late Medieval and Reformation Studies\, with St. Philip's in the Hills Episcopal Church\, presents Summer Lecture Series 2009\: \"Pilgrimage.\"  Sean Clark\, a Ph.D. student\, will discuss \"Umbilicus Mundi\: Jerusalem as a Medieval Pilgrimage Destination\"  This year's Division for Late Medieval and Reformation Studies' speakers will take us back in time to the Middle Ages and lead us to four pilgrimage sites that were very significant for European Christianity\: The Holy Land\, Rome\, Canterbury and Santiago de Compostela.  We will imagine the pilgrims' journeys and listen in on their  social interactions. We will hear of sites that memorialize Christ's life\, a major saint's life\, a great miracle or divine appearance\, and we will learn of the rituals that evolved in association with each place. The lectures will probe the motives of pilgrims. Did they originate in piety\, penance for a sin committed\, the fulfillment of a vow and/or the search for a miraculous cure?  Other lectures will take place on Aug.2\, 9 and 16.

SUMMARY:A Conversation with Tony Hays
DESCRIPTION:Clues Unlimited\, A Mystery Bookstore\, and The University of Arizona's department of history are proud to sponsor \"A Conversation With Tony Hays\,\" another in our series of informal programs with writers of historical mysteries\, as part of the Mystery in History series to benefit the department of history.    Tony Hays will discuss and sign his debut novel\, \"The Killing Way.\" This is the first in a new series set in Dark Age Britain\, when the Arthurian legend was born\, with Lord Arthur\, also known as Uther\, asking a clerk who has lost an arm battling the Saxons to investigate the murder of a servant girl\, whose body was found outside the home of Merlin\, and whose death could discredit Arthur as he seeks to become the leader of the local tribes. Strong characterization and historical detail make this a standout!  Please join us for this fascinating talk at Clues Unlimited's new location!
