The Spirit of Flight
3 Sessions with Jet Vertz, starting Tuesday, May 10, at 2:00PM.
Our human quest for mastering flight has taken us on a journey that has not only allowed us to soar like eagles, but we have also been able to successfully fly faster than the speed of sound, go to the moon and back, and we are now exploring the surface of Mars. We will examine how we have mastered flight, encountered mysteries, experienced tragedies, and where we may be headed in the future.
The Evolution of Diplomacy
3 Sessions with Andrew Brem, starting May 10, at 9:30AM
Foreign policy as it exists today is a relatively new concept. This course will trace the evolution of diplomacy from the 17th century to the present touching on the basic themes including Cardinal Richelieu’s raison d’état, England’s role in balance of power, and Wilson’s idealism versus real politik.
