Nutrition for Dummies
by Carol Ann Rinzler

Nutrition For Dummies, 4th Edition, doesn’t aim to send you back to the classroom, sit you down, and make you take notes about what to put on the table every day from now until you’re 104 years old. You’re reading a reference book, so you don’t have to memorize anything — when you want more info, just jump in anywhere to look it up.
Instead, this book means to give you the information you need to make wise food choices — which always means choices that please the palate and soul, as well as the body. Some of what you’ll read here is really, really basic: definitions of vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and — can you believe this? — plain old water. You’ll also read tips about how to put together a nutritious shopping list and how to use food to make meals so good you can’t wait to eat them.
For those who know absolutely nothing about nutrition except that it deals with food, this book is a starting point. For those who know more than a little about nutrition, this book is a refresher course to bring you up to speed on what has happened since the last time you checked out a calorie chart.

What It Means to Be 98% Chimpanzee
In the 1990s, we routinely heard that we are just 1 or 2% different from chimpanzees genetically, and therefore . . . what? Should we accord the chimpanzees human rights, as some activists have suggested? Should we acknowledge and accept as natural the promiscuity and genocidal violence that lurks just underneath the veneer of humanity and occasionally surfaces, as some biologists have implied? Or should we perhaps all simply go naked and sleep in trees as the chimpanzees do?

Representing Justice: Stories of Law and Literature
TTC

(24 lectures, 30 minutes/lecture)
Taught by Susan Sage Heinzelman

Great literature can be the means of understanding as well as creating our world - by teaching and reinforcing society's laws, articulating its values, and enforcing the social contracts that unite us as a culture. What if literature itself generated our ideas and feelings about justice, marriage and family, property, authority, race, or gender? What if it enflamed our determination to pursue justice - or, conversely, undermined our ability to detect injustice?
___What if law in all its variations - from religious commandments to oral tradition to codified statute - embraced its own narrative assumptions to the point of absorbing purely literary conventions as a means of more forcefully arguing its points in the legal arena?
___And what if this dynamic relationship between written and unwritten laws and literature is constantly evolving? How do law and literature influence or reflect one other? And what lessons might we draw from their symbiotic relationship?
