OUR CHANGING WORLD:

EARTH SCIENCE & HUMAN IMPACTS

By Boma Johnson, Archaeologist

Now- for something completely different! A brand new class! Here we are- 2012- the time of changes. What changes have we seen so far, and what is yet to come? What can we learn from ancient Native American cultures who came before us? Are there lessons in rock art? What about the Hopi and Maya prophecies? Listen to Native Americans speak of their experiences with changes, and hear their wisdom as to how to adapt to the coming changes. Find out what is nonsense about all the 2012 hype, and what is real! Come take a look at the Earth Sciences (Geography, Geology, Paleontology, Anthropology, Astrophysics, Climatology and Environmental Science) as viewed from the human perspective. What impact have we humans had upon Earth and what impact has the Earth had upon us? You'll view our earth and the creatures that live upon it in terms of cycles. Learn how understanding the past can help to predict or even change the future. We'll take a peek at what the Future may have in store for us, leaving you with hope and a better understanding of the wonderful place we call home. Information will be presented with a variety of new and updated media. Class participation is encouraged, and we really will have lots of fun!
