Exploring The World's Best Self-Help Book Ever!Joanne DoadesRegistration RequiredToday's self-help books may be bestsellers, but there is nothing new under the sun, according to the ancient author of the Book of Ecclesiastes.

The Odyssey of HomerConstance SekarosJoin us as we follow Odysseus from Troy, through the Mediterranean, and finally home, where "faithful Penelope" has been waiting for 20 years. My approach to The Odyssey is psychological: We will look for symbolic meaning in the gods and goddesses, the monsters, the seductive women, and the narrative as a whole. When we finish the epic, we will read a short book by Margaret Atwood in which Penelope tells her story. There will always be time for class discussion.Tuesdays, 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM

World Mythologies V: The AmericasBert BeynenRegistration RequiredThe course continues earlier mythology courses and discusses mythologies of the Americas that have been shaped by differences in geography, history, and generational transmission. Frequent themes are the notion that nature is sacred, animism, creation stories that see the world as a sea or a series of worlds on top of each other, and the Trickster, a thoughtless, impulsive cultural hero who nevertheless provides significant contributions to creation. Tuesdays, 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM

Russian Through SongBert BeynenRegistration RequiredPoems and songs have always been important in Russia. In this course, the Russian originals of the best-known Russian songs and poems will be discussed in English, but an abundance of lexical translations and grammatical explanations will be given to make sure that nuances untranslatable because of the nature of English will be made clear. No knowledge of Russian or its alphabet required.Thursdays, 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM

Radio Astronomy – Observing the Invisible UniverseLewis MifsudTraditional optical (light waves) astronomy is great for studying objects such as stars and galaxies that emit sufficient light to reach earth. However, astronomical objects which lack luminosity or whose light is of an insufficient strength to be detected on earth would stand invisible, were it not for radio astronomy. Radio astronomy enables the detection of radio waves, which changed the way we view the universe and dramatically increased our knowledge of it. No prior knowledge of radio astronomy necessary.5 Tuesdays, 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM5/29 – 6/26

Cybersecurity: How the Bad Guys Hack and How to Protect Yourself Stuart Levy We live in this giant cyberspace with the Internet, multiple websites and billions of people, businesses, and governments connected to it.

The first of five sessions will explain the primary weaknesses in cyberspace that facilitate the security breaches; and the following four sessions will show you how to protect yourself from being hacked. 5 Wednesdays, 1:00 PM – 2:15 PM 6/27 – 8/1

WRITING Crystal Ball Critique Writing Workshop (Prerequisite: Write Now!)Phyllis MassRegistration RequiredThe difference between critique and criticism is the difference between a crystal ball and a wrecking ball.

Submitted work will be discussed by workshop participants whose comments will center on what works, what does not, and how the submission can be improved. Thursdays, 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM
