These two Italian Baroque painters are probably more famous today for their biographies than for their art. Yet the "bad boy" and the sexually-assaulted woman are not the personae they used to build their careers. These two lectures will address their carefully plotted progress through the art world of 17th-century Italy and beyond.

As is the case throughout the U. S., Georgia’s trees are under increasing threat from multiple factors, including attack by exotic insect pests and pathogens. Various approaches are being tested or applied to conserve and restore native species, including some using biotechnology approaches such as tissue culture and genetic engineering. This class will discuss three forest species native to Georgia: American chestnut, eastern hemlock and green ash, that are under threat from exotic insect pests or pathogens and research at UGA and elsewhere aimed at conserving their germplasm and restoring them to the forest.

Cotton is a fiber we all know, but few understand how it came to be so dominant and why its history is intertwined with so many aspects of civilization, particularly the first and subsequent industrial revolutions. We will explore what the fiber is, what the various species are, how it came to Europe from Asia, why it became the dominant crop in the South after 1800, and why the overreliance on growing cotton was a disaster for many small and tenant farmers in the South. The world perspective of cotton growing and the political implications will be discussed. If time permits, we will also take a look at how such an almost microscopic single fiber becomes a yarn and then a fabric.

Arguably our most important environmental writer, Berry epitomizes the best from conservative and radical traditions. Berry has written with uncommon wisdom and grace on a wide range of issues that should matter to all citizens. His principled, prophetic witness challenges us to address the unacknowledged and interconnected forms of violence against our land and ecology, our fellow citizens and communities, our nation, and our increasingly beleaguered planet. Berry suggests the kinds of changes in our thinking, lives, and polity required to begin atoning for these offenses and what we can all do to heal our self-inflicted and often lethal wounds.
