Left for Dead
Andrew Cuomo strategizes on the best way to bring the Democratic Party back to prominence in the U.S. Then legendary forensic specialist Dr. Bill Bass and journalist Jon Jefferson explain what The Body Farm is. (It’s a place where the dead really do tell tales.) And David Quammen looks into whether the long-standing human fear of man-eating predators has any place in the modern world. Plus, photographer Simen Johan shares his work, currently showing at the Yossi Milo Gallery.
Andrew Cuomo
Andrew Cuomo, former HUD secretary, talks about the future
of American politics. He’s the editor of the recent book
Crossroads, containing essays by John Kerry, Russell Simmons, Bob Graham, and “P. Diddy”
Combs, among others.
Panelist at this evening’s event: Russell Simmons, David Brock (author Blinded by the Right), Prof Sean Wilentz (Princeton) and Hans Reimer from Rock the Vote
Dr. Bill Bass and Jon Jefferson
Dr. Bill Bass and Jon Jefferson discuss their recent book
Death’s Acre. Dr. Bill Bass is a premier forensic
anthropologist who’s spent his life studying death and
decomposition, and Jon Jefferson is the journalist who’s
helped him write about it.

David Quammen
Lions and tigers and bears (and crocodiles) - oh my! In
Monster of God, David Quammen ponders the question
of why all four predators have loomed so large on human
consciousness throughout history - and what might happen
if the trend of confining them in zoos continues.
Simen Johan
Photographer Simen Johan
talks about his recent photographs. They’re part of an ongoing series of narrative
pictorials exploring the psychological complexities of childhood, and they’re
now showing at the Yossi Milo Gallery
through December 6th.
