A Brief History of Everything
Evening at Emory - Humanities and Cultural Studies
American philosopher Ken Wilber's writings combine eastern and western spirituality, psychology, biology, cultural theory, and other strands of contemporary thought to create what the author calls "integral psychology." Wilber bridges science and religion, explains the dynamics of human consciousness and moral development, and speculates on future evolution of our species. Despite the complexity of his thoughts, many of Wilber's books are surprisingly accessible, including the textbook for this class A Brief History of Everything. In this class we'll read the book, discuss its merits, and consider how Wilber's ideas can impact the scientific and spiritual communities. Textbook is not included.

Appetite Awareness for Weight Concerns in collaboration with The New York Times Knowledge Network
Evening at Emory - Health and Natural Sciences
Are you tired of struggling with your weight and want to try a different approach? Appetite Awareness Training teaches you a new way to think about eating and weight. AAT is designed for people who want to lose weight, for people who have lost weight but could not keep it off, and for people who are in the normal weight range but feel like it takes way too much effort to maintain that weight. You can also use AAT to teach your children a healthy way to eat. Appetite awareness training is not a diet; it is a different way to make decisions about when to eat and when to stop eating. You don't have to follow a diet plan at all, but the approach is compatible with reasonably balanced diet plans so you can use a "diet" (a specific food plan) if you want to do so. AAT teaches you to "Eat with your stomach, not with your head." Using stomach cues helps protect you from the tempting, tasty food that is so easily available. Participants will learn to understand the biology of appetite and weight regulation so they can work with their body instead of fighting with it. Active participation through appetite self-monitoring done outside of class is also expected. Dr. Craighead will conduct a weekly discussion online during the times indicated. Textbook is not included. Textbook: The Appetite Awareness Workbook Textbook: The Appetite Awareness Workbook

Evening at Emory - Humanities and Cultural Studies
In reliving with the world their most painful experiences, Fate has placed an unprecedented burden on the survivors of the Holocaust. Living testimony has become rare because most survivors are no longer with us or have grown too old to make presentations. Paula Gris, a Holocaust survivor imprisoned in a concentration camp in the Ukraine as a child, presents her personal history along with a historical overview of the holocaust in Romania. History is not just about an event—it is about human lives. Take this rare and fleeting opportunity to hear from a survivor.

Our course will teach you the core forensic procedures that will apply to examining any operating system or file system. During our course, we provide instruction on the logical structures of the FAT file system (** see why) utilized by DOS and Windows 9.x and the NTFS logical structures utilized by Windows NT, 2000 and XP. We have thoroughly studied the NTFS operating system and feel that our NTFS course material cannot be matched anywhere. The NTFS section provides detailed instruction about the partition table, the boot record, bitmaps, the root directory, the MFT, headers, attributes, resident files, non-resident files, run lists, alternate data streams, etc. Our training focus is not only on forensic recovery techniques, but on ensuring that what you find can be admitted in court. You will learn how to establish and use sound evidence handling procedures and how to conduct examinations using sound forensic examination procedures. Costs for initial online test is included in the tuition. Prerequisite: None.

Many people believe mysticism is the golden thread that unites all the world's religions, while others scoff at the idea. Decide for yourself in this class as we explore major themes and writings from the world's great mystical traditions. Using Andrew Harvey's The Essential Mystics as our textbook, we'll examine the world's great wisdom traditions — Taoism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, as well as pagan and philosophical forms of mysticism — acknowledging both the common ground and the distinctive qualities of each mystical path.

Appetite Awareness Training for Weight Concerns
Are you tired of struggling with your weight and want to try a different approach? Appetite Awareness Training teaches you a new way to think about eating and weight. AAT is designed for people who want to lose weight, for people who have lost weight but could not keep it off, and for people who are in the normal weight range but feel like it takes way too much effort to maintain that weight. You can also use AAT to teach your children a healthy way to eat. Appetite awareness training is not a diet; it is a different way to make decisions about when to eat and when to stop eating. You don't have to follow a diet plan at all, but the approach is compatible with reasonably balanced diet plans so you can use a "diet" (a specific food plan) if you want to do so. AAT teaches you to "Eat with your stomach, not with your head." Using stomach cues helps protect you from the tempting, tasty food that is so easily available. Participants will learn to understand the biology of appetite and weight regulation so they can work with their body instead of fighting with it. Participants are encouraged to bring dinner each week to practice mindful eating with the class. The class will also involve active participation through appetite self-monitoring done outside of class. Textbook is not included.

Introduction to the Qur'an
As the sacred text of Islam, the Qur’an is among the most influential books in world history. It is recited by millions of Muslims in daily prayer; inscribed on monuments, decorative plaques, and jewelry; quoted in literary works and popular speech in Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Malay, and Swahili—it permeates Islamic culture. Yet many are surprised to discover that the text relates the stories of Adam, Jesus, Abraham and other Biblical figures rather than the Prophet Muhammad, and that the hero of the Qur’an is not Muhammad, but Moses. Join us to investigate the form and content of this fascinating text in English translation. Topics of dicussion include the text’s often ignored yet profound connection with the Bible, the Qur’anic theory of prophecy, the portrayal of figures from Jewish and Christian traditions, and the pre-Islamic Arabian material in the Qur’an.

Pacifism and Just War in the Early Church *NEW*
One of the more fascinating aspects of the early history of Christianity is the interplay between pacifism and just war mentalities. Significant groups of church fathers held that participating in war was forbidden to Christians. While these voices were prominent during earlier time periods, with the rise of Emperor Constantine came new ideas and ideals. Ambrose and Augustine’s writings have been accepted as the basis for just war beliefs within the church. In this course we will read the writings of Origen, Justin Martyr, Tertullian, Ambrose, and Augustine—and some modern commentaries. We will contrast the different approaches to the subject of war and Christianity, while considering their relevance to our own questions about these issues. This course is in partnership with the Aquinas Center of Theology at Emory University. Learn more...
