International Night - Karakoram Highway: China to Pakistan
Thursday, March 28, 2019
7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
Harmony Library, Community Room
Bob Michael is among the few Americans who have traveled the Karakoram Highway, possibly the world's most spectacular mountain road. Starting in in the ancient Silk Road city of Kashgar in extreme western Xinjiang, China, the highway heads south to cross into Pakistan over the Khunjerab Pass, the highest paved road in the world. The road descends into the Hunza Valley, once a "lost kingdom," where the mountain scenery ascends from merely gargantuan in China to a crescendo of fierce sublimity in the Karakoram range, the home of K2. Shangri-La is, of course, fiction, but Hunza may be the closest actual approximation. BOB MICHAEL is a consulting petroleum geologist in Fort Collins. He has always had a fascination for extreme, end-of-the-earth places, and in particular deserts since falling in love with the Mojave in his Southern California childhood.

International Night - Karakoram Highway: China to Pakistan
Thursday, March 28, 2019
7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
Harmony Library, Community Room
Bob Michael is among the few Americans who have traveled the Karakoram Highway, possibly the world's most spectacular mountain road. Starting in in the ancient Silk Road city of Kashgar in extreme western Xinjiang, China, the highway heads south to cross into Pakistan over the Khunjerab Pass, the highest paved road in the world. The road descends into the Hunza Valley, once a "lost kingdom," where the mountain scenery ascends from merely gargantuan in China to a crescendo of fierce sublimity in the Karakoram range, the home of K2. Shangri-La is, of course, fiction, but Hunza may be the closest actual approximation. BOB MICHAEL is a consulting petroleum geologist in Fort Collins. He has always had a fascination for extreme, end-of-the-earth places, and in particular deserts since falling in love with the Mojave in his Southern California childhood.

Tuesday, April 02, 2019
7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
Old Town Library, Storytime Room
Nuclear Negotiations: Back to the Future? by Ronald J. Bee Nuclear weapons have not gone away, and the Trump administration has brought a new urgency, if not a new approach, to dealing with them. The President has met with Vladimir Putin as the New Start Treaty with Russia comes up for renewal in 2021, the first presidential summit ever with Kim Jong-un occurred to discuss denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula, and President Trump has decertified the Obama nuclear deal with Iran. To what degree should past nuclear talks guide future U.S. nuclear arms control negotiations? Can the art of the deal apply to stabilizing our nuclear future? More about this Foreign Policy Association program is at http://www.fpa.org/great_decisions/.
