Great Conversations Book Club
The JES is bringing back Shared Inquiry Discussion, America's largest discussion program on world affairs. The program model involves reading an article from the Great Books Foundation Briefing Book and meeting in a discussion group to discuss the most critical global issues facing America today. This group will meet for eight weeks at the Jefferson Library. This session's book is "The Nature of Life Part Two."
