Event Details

Ian Morris, Jean and Rebecca Willard Professor of Classics and Professor of History, Stanford University; Author, The Measure of Civilization

Using a groundbreaking numerical index that compares societies in different times and places, Morris breaks social development into four traits – energy capture per capita, organization, information technology and war-making capacity – and uses archaeological, historical and modern government data to quantify patterns. His conclusions about when and why the West came to dominate are influencing the ongoing scholarly debate.

Rick Deutsch, “Mr. Half Dome”; Author, One Best Hike: Yosemite’s Half Dome; Motivational Speaker

While working in IT, Deutsch developed a new passion: hiking to the top of 8,842-ft. granite rock Half Dome, the Yosemite National Park landmark and one of the most recognized mountains on earth.
