In this special lecture, Marie Simovich and Mike Wells will present elements of the dramatic landscape of the Anza-Borrego desert, describing how this region evolved over time and how the organisms within it have adapted to its heat and aridity. Until their respective retirements, Dr. Simovich was a faculty member in USD’s Department of Biology, while Dr. Wells was superintendent of the Colorado Desert District. From 2001 to 2017, they co-taught a class on desert biology, and this class formed the basis of their co-authored book, A Natural History of the Anza-Borrego Region: Then and Now.

Renowned as an extraordinary lyric poet in her own lifetime, Sappho of Lesbos has been a literary celebrity for more than 2,500 years. Her poetry – so far as it survives – seems charged with personal feelings and powerful self-expression. So, what did she look like? Or rather: What have her readers, over the centuries, wanted her to look like? Presenting fresh visual evidence, and reassessing some old iconic favorites, Nigel Spivey (senior lecturer in classics at Emmanuel College, Cambridge) considers the “portrait” of Sappho in its various symbolic forms: as an image of the female poet, an image of passion both tragic and fulfilled and, eventually, an image of female-to-female desire.

Books will be available for purchase at the event. Registration is not required but sign up below to receive e-mail reminders for this event. About the Author: Edward Zuckerman began his career as a journalist, writing about zombies, killer bees, talking apes and other subjects for Rolling Stone, Spy, the New Yorker, Harper’s, Esquire, and many other magazines. He wrote two well-reviewed nonfiction books, The Day After World War III and Small Fortunes, and then moved into writing for television dramas, including “Law & Order” (50+ episodes), “Blue Bloods,” and “Law & Order: SVU.” He has won two Edgar Awards from the Mystery Writers of America and an Emmy for his work on “Law & Order.” He lives in Manhattan, NY and Manhattan Beach, California. Wealth Management is his first novel. About the Book, Wealth Management: For fans of Jess Walter and Gary Shteyngart, this is a financial thriller featuring three Ivy League MBAs who must put their lopsided love triangle aside to snare international terrorists. In the lush world-banking capital of Geneva, Switzerland, three young wealth managers (Catherine, Majid, and Rafe) are handling investments for clients with dubious pedigrees. When problems with troubled investments are “fixed” by murders and bombs, they come to suspect that their clients are Mafiosi and terrorists, but by then they are accomplices, are under threat, and have no easy way to back out. Their efforts to save themselves — and innocent lives — are complicated by their being in a love triangle, by one of them secretly working with the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence to investigate the other two, and by the unexpected appearance of a detective from Nigeria who may or may not be in league with terrorists himself.
