EXPLORERS CLUB PUBLIC LECTURE
February 6th @ 7PM
The Explorers Club

The crew of Tara Oceans, a 118-foot schooner visiting New York’s East River from February 5 to 11, will be the focus of a public lecture at The Explorers Club, 46th East 70th Street, at 7 p.m., Monday, February 6, 2012. Tara Oceans is dedicated to diagnosing the health of the worlds’ oceans, and providing crucial information for future generations.
Inspired by Darwin’s legendary 1820 expedition of the HMS Beagle, Tara’s team of international scientists and explorers have spent the last few years collecting and categorizing plankton (responsible for half the oxygen on the planet) in order to discover the oceans’ relationship to climate change.

The schooner is owned by French fashion designer and activist agne`s b. and Etienne Bourgois, her son and Tara’s visionary leader. The boat, designed to work as an ice breaker in Polar regions, has also sailed in temperate waters and equatorial zones throughout the planet for the past two and a half years.

The evening, which will emphasize the critical importance the oceans play in the health of the planet, includes lectures from Tara Ocean’s chief scientist and mastermind Eric Karsenti, and Romain Trouble´, French sailor and chairman of Tara Foundation for Marine Research USA.

In addition, Explorers Club Member Mara G. Haseltine, an artist and environmentalist, will unveil La Boheme: A Portrait of Today’s Ocean’s in Peril, her latest sculpture based on her discoveries on board Tara Oceans. She received the honor of returning the Club’s flag number 75 at the 2011 Explorers Club Annual Dinner for her voyage on Tara Oceans off the coast of Chile.

Tickets are $20 ($5 students with valid i.d.) and seating is limited. Advance reservations are required by calling 212 628 8383.

Finding Comfort in Difficult Times: A Selection of Soldiers’ Bibles
February 03-May 20, 2012
Museum of Biblical Art

Turning to the Bible in times of danger has long been a source of comfort. Providing soldiers with a printed Bible was first done by Oliver Cromwell in 1643. His Souldiers Pocket Bible was a small pamphlet including verses selected mostly from the Old Testament in the Geneva version. Starting with the American Civil War, pocket copies of the New Testament or the entire Bible were regularly distributed to both Union and Confederate soldiers, with the American Bible Society assuming the leading role. Surviving copies of these Scriptures bear testimony to their use and tell compelling stories of hardship and faith. This exhibition brings together a large number of “Soldiers’ Bibles” that document individual lives within the tragic context of war.

Regular museum admission. For more information visit mobia.org.

As Black History Month begins and Abraham Lincoln’s birthday approaches, the New-York Historical Society is pleased to add to its displays a rare handwritten copy of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution—the measure that abolished slavery—signed by Lincoln himself.

Voice of Witness Presents:
Inside This Place, Not Of It: Narratives from Women's Prisons:
A Discussion With the Editor and Narrator
Feb 8, 2012 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
20 Cooper Square, 5th Floor, IPK Main Conference Room

According to the Justice Department, the United States has the highest documented incarceration rate of any country in the world. People in U.S. prisons are routinely subjected to physical, sexual and mental abuse. While this has been documented in male prisons, women in prison often suffer in relative anonymity. Voice of Witness’ new book, Inside This Place, Not Of It, illuminates the experiences of incarcerated women in the US in an effort to address this critical social justice issue. The book is a forum for incarcerated and formerly incarcerated women to share the stories that have previously been silenced. Please join Inside This Place, Not of It editor Robin Levi and narrator Francesca Salavieri for a reading and talk at NYU.
