Book Reading with Dennis Green
<p>To keep the very fabric of time itself from unwinding, Trav Becker must track down a killer before he becomes the next victim… again.</p><p>The Traveler Trilogy is a mind-bending sci-fi thriller that follows police detective Trav Becker in his desperate search to catch a killer attacking different versions of Trav and his friends along the continuum of different parallel realities.</p><p>But as fanciful as the plot of the Traveler books is, the action takes place in some very familiar locations to local readers, like the Paramount Theatre, New Bo, even the UI’s Van Allen Hall. Dennis will read from his books and talk about how real-life places inspired the plot and characters of his books.</p><p>Join us Tuesday, January 26th at 6:00 p.m. via Facebook Live!</p>

Virtual Thursday Forum: Scenic Long-Distance Hikes in the United Kingdom
<p dir="ltr">Floyd Sandford, Emeritus Professor of Biology</p><p dir="ltr">In the United Kingdom, walking is one of the most popular recreational activities, and because of this, England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are excellent destinations for hikers. Because of liberal rules for rights of way, U.K. citizens and visitors alike are permitted easy access to most of the countryside. A vast network of public footpaths and national trails allows day ramblers or long-distance hikers to experience beautiful and dramatic coastal scenery and lovely countryside with attractive villages of thatched-roof cottages, gardens, historical monuments, abbey ruins and more. This two-session Thursday Forum will introduce two of the many scenic, long-distance hiking trails in the U.K. and take you on a virtual journey through the stunning landscapes of Scotland and England. In the first session, we will travel Scotland’s West Highland Way, one of the U.K.’s premier hiking experiences. Our journey begins in Milngavie (near Glasgow), follows the shores of Loch Lomond (one of the largest lakes in the U.K.) and continues north into the beautiful Scottish Highlands. In session two, we will explore one of England’s most popular long-distance hikes, the 102-mile-long Cotswold Way, which begins in the picturesque village of Chipping Camden and ends in the historic city of Bath. In addition to admiring the scenery, we will learn some historical background about our destinations, including the destruction of abbeys during the reign of Henry VIII and the impact of the English Civil War on Cotswold villages.</p> 2020-09-16 23:58:00 -05002/11/2112:00 a.m.Coe CollegeCedar Rapids -

Our journey begins in Milngavie (near Glasgow), follows the shores of Loch Lomond (one of the largest lakes in the U.K.) and continues north into the beautiful Scottish Highlands. In session two, we will explore one of England’s most popular long-distance hikes, the 102-mile-long Cotswold Way, which begins in the picturesque village of Chipping Camden and ends in the historic city of Bath. In addition to admiring the scenery, we will learn some historical background about our destinations, including the destruction of abbeys during the reign of Henry VIII and the impact of the English Civil War on Cotswold villages.</p> 2021-02-25 23:58:00 -06002/25/2112:00 a.m.Coe CollegeCedar Rapids -
