n May 1991, author Ed Linz received a bolt-out-of-the-blue diagnosis of a rare heart disease, cardiac sarcoidosis, and, although he had no symptoms, was given two years to live. Three years later, on the brink of death, he received a life-saving heart transplant. In his presentation, he recounts the emotional roller coaster for him and his family, before, during, and for 30+ years following the transplant and lessons learned.

This class is the first in a planned four-class sequence based on Yuval Noah Harari's Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind. Together, the sequence follows the long arc of human history from the origins of the universe to the modern scientific age. This course focuses exclusively on part one of Harari's book, prehistory from the big bang to the threshold of the agricultural revolution. The purpose here is to explore the evidence underlying the starting point for Harari's story of how evolution produced an unremarkable primate – that's us, Homo sapiens – that sort of by accident came to dominate the planet. Throughout the class, particular attention is given to separating well-established evidence from interpretation and informed speculation.

Rachmaninoff and Chopin are two popular classical music composers. Both were concert pianists in their own right and spent much time on stage drawing very large crowds. Their fame, however, was generated by their composing, which has found its way into the standard classical repertoire. Both had difficult times politically with Rachmaninoff falling into disfavor with the Bolshevik revolution in Russia and Chopin obtaining more artistic freedom leaving his native Poland for the more appreciative culture and lifestyle of France. Besides performing, both have had their music regularly included in many motion picture soundtracks.
