With almost every climate record shattered in 2023, we are aware that the "distant" threat of climate change has already arrived. Fortunately, the human ingenuity needed to address climate change is also present and racing full steam ahead. This presentation will focus on the impact on our personal health and safety as well as on our public health systems. It will highlight actions that can be taken to mitigate these impacts. C-Change Conversations is a national organization that focuses on forging consensus so that climate action can take place. This class is presented by the local affiliate of C-Change Conversations.

Because hospitals are so central to modern medicine, we tend to assume they were a constant presence in history as well, but the hospital has been a much more fluid entity over time. For example, if a train wreck in the 1800s resulted in multiple cases of injury, only some of the victims might be taken to a hospital, and they would not necessarily be the most seriously injured. Find out why in this session where we’ll explore who went to the hospital in the past and what happened there.

Time travel to the 18th century and experience a day in London through the words of Jonathan Swift ("Description of the Morning" and "Description of a City Shower") and the engravings of William Hogarth ("Four Times of the Day"). No doubt you will be happy to return to 21st-century convenience (not to mention hygiene) but you will also see why Swift and Hogarth's contemporary Samuel Johnson would say: "He who is tired of London is tired of life!" It was (and remains) a vibrant, varied place!
