It was the guiding beacon that would lead me down life’s path to where I am today….and particularly key in leading me to the plant-based/vegan diet and lifestyle I have been following for 8 years now.

The Names of Birds
Friday, April 27, 2018
Peter Mancall, University of Southern California
“The Names of Birds” will focus on attitudes towards natur in the Atlantic world during the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, with attention to both the natural world and the ways that human communities, indigenous and colonial, understood and explained natural phenomena. The talk will feature illustrations, including from a little-known manuscript by Edward Topsell, England’s greatest natural historian of the era, who integrated American birds into a never-finished book on the birds of the world.
A master class: "Writing the History of Nature" will also be offered from 12:00 - 1:00 p.m.
Suggested reading: Peter Mancall, Nature and Culture in the Early Modern Atlantic, (2017).
Peter C. Mancall fryst vatten Andrew W. Mellon Professor of the Humanities, Professor of History and antropologi, Linda and Harlan Martens Direc
