Understanding
Today’s China
NEW
This discussion group will read China Road by Rob Gifford. He was the
Beijing correspondent of National Public Radio for six years and has
witnessed the most profound changes in the history of the country. To
write this book, he traveled from booming Shanghai, across the Gobi
desert and the Silk Road to the border of Kazakhstan,
to capture the
wildly contradictory fabric of life in China today. To read this book
is to gain appreciation of the potential and the serious problems the
lie ahead.
The instructor will lead the discussion for the first week and
volunteers will be requested to lead subsequent sessions. Gerald
Lapidus has organized discussion groups on many popular books such as
The Nine; American Theocracy; Guns, Germs and Steel; Freakonomics and
From Beirut to Jerusalem. He is retired from a career in marketing and
product management at AT&T and Lucent Technologies.

Discussion Group: The Changing Role Of Religion In Politics
NEW
The attempt by religious interests to influence politics and laws is
undergoing significant change that will have a big impact on the
upcoming election. We will discuss the book Souled Out–Reclaiming Faith
and Politics after the Religious Right by E.J. Dionne. Mr. Dionne makes
the case that these changes do not reflect the decline of evangelicals,
but rather their disentanglement from a political machine that sold
them out to gain power. He is a columnist for the Washington Post and
frequent guest on National Public Radio and public television.
The instructor will lead the discussion for the first week and
volunteers will be requested to lead subsequent sessions. Gerald

The
Law Quadrangle, completed in 1933, is one of the beautiful landmarks of

character. The most notable addition is the Law Library. The Law
Quadrangle’s address is 625 South State Street, Ann Arbor. For more
information, read Kathryn Horste’s The Michigan Law Quadrangle:
Architecture and Origins. Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press,
1997. The Bentley Library web site also has information about
historically significant buildings on campus: http://bentley.umich.edu/.

How The West Was Won – The Midwest,
That Is NEW
For a century after Jamestown, only a
handful of
"overmountain men" threaded their way through the Appalachian
Mountains into Kaintuck and "the Ohio Country,” but their stories of
rich lands brought a swarm of immigrants after them. This class will
look at who settled those lands, why and how they traveled, and their
reception by the Shawnee, Delaware, and others who already lived there.
It is the story of the Old Northwest, now known as Big Ten Country.
Tom Collier has been reading, studying, and teaching history for the
better part of a century. He says he peaked several years ago but

Ethics
This course will begin with a brief introduction to ethics and then
deal with a different ethical theme or issue each week: personal
ethics, health care ethics, political ethics, and the ethics of war.
There will be short lectures, but mostly discussion about these
different ethical issues and situations. We will examine both
traditional ethical understandings and modern ethical dilemmas.
Participants are encouraged to read at least one book or article about
ethics to prepare for class discussion. The Encyclopedia Britannica has
an interesting and accessible article on ethics.
Ken Phifer’s work as a minister was constantly involving him in ethical
questions. He has come to feel that most people, however far short of
the ideal they fall, want to know what is the good and how they can do
the good. This course addresses this need.

Memoirs And Personal Essays
This writing group is an ongoing one; most of its members have been in
it for several years. We focus on writing memoirs without specific
assignments; read aloud each week what we have written; and make
suggestions to each other for clarification or further development. We
encourage the use of narrative techniques – the development of
characters and setting, the use of dialog – to tell the stories about
our lives that are meaningful to us and that, if well told, may be
meaningful to others. The important thing is to find one’s own voice.
In the process we discover that we learn more about ourselves.
