Public Lecture: Columbus - His Expedition, His Men and His Guns

New York, NY (October 24th, 2011) - The Explorers Club invites you to a colorful slideshow presentation about “The Great Explorer” Christopher Columbus, who has been universally depicted in history as a venturesome sailor with a compass, an astrolabe, a dream and a gun. In fact, Columbus had a collection of guns. Speaker Rodney Brown will discuss the weapons he used in 4 voyages, including his battles with the Taino Indians; the verso cannons excavated from the Jaina River, as well as the exciting new discovery of the heraldically gold-silver adorned matchlock, Espingole, that some scholars believe may have been Columbus’ personal gun.

Public Lecture: The Ragged Edge of the World with Eugene Linden

 

Veteran contributor to the National Geographic, Time, and the New York Times, Eugene Linden will be unearthing slippery and fast- changing frontiers in his lecture “The Ragged Edge of the World.” This will serve as an elegy for what has been lost, as well as a celebration of cultures resilient enough to maintain their individuality, traditions and customs. Linden’s intimate, eyewitness accounts of cargo cults in New Guinea, practices Pygmy tribes in the forests of Africa, and the positive conservation policies in Cuba, are fascinating tales of environmental, political, social, and cultural transformation.

Public Lecture: Achieving Harmony in Ecosystems with Colin Church

 

       Kenyan citizen and Rhino Ark Conservation chairman, Colin Church, will discuss one of the key biodiversity areas and essential water towers in the Abderdare Mountains. This project entailed the building of a 260 mile long electrified fence (1,260 sq. miles) that successfully resolved human/wildlife conflict in the Abderdares, while limiting further encroachment into the forest state. This has also been instrumental in shifting public sentiment in favor of conserving Kenya’s vital mountain forests.
