This event will be held at Culver Center, located at 3834 Main St, Riverside, CA 92501. Join Roger and Norm as they discuss their latest books and the processes they have used in coming up with these books. One a physical scientist, one a social scientist, they both have a keen interest in one another's work, and enjoy helping people understand complex subjects. Books will be available for purchase. Light refreshments will be served. This event is free and open to the public. About the Books: Gambling on War: Confidence, Fear, and the Tragedy of the First World War The First World War left a legacy of chaos that is still with us a century later. Why did European leaders resort to war and why did they not end it sooner? Roger L. Ransom sheds new light on this enduring puzzle by employing insights from prospect theory and notions of risk and uncertainty. He reveals how the interplay of confidence, fear, and a propensity to gamble encouraged aggressive behavior by leaders who pursued risky military strategies in hopes of winning the war. Sex on the Kitchen Table Sex and food are intimately intertwined, and this relationship is nowhere more evident than among the plants that sustain us. From lascivious legumes to horny hot peppers, most of humanity’s calories and other nutrition come from seeds and fruits—the products of sex—or from flowers, the organs that make plant sex possible. Sex has also played an arm’s-length role in delivering plant food to our stomachs, as human handmade evolution (plant breeding, or artificial selection) has turned wild species into domesticated staples. Norman C. Ellstand is Distinguished Professor of Genetics at the University of California, Riverside, where he holds the Jane S. Johnson Endowed Chair in Food and Agriculture. He is also the author of Dangerous Liaisons?: When Cultivated Plants Mate with Their Wild Relatives. Roger L. Ransom is Distinguished Professor of History and Economics, Emeritus at the University of California, Riverside. He is best know for his work with Richard Sutch on the American Civil War and has authored several other publications. 2:00 pm: FIRST SUNDAYS AT RAM WITH KAREN RAE KRAUT March 3, 2019 2:00 pm – 2:30 pm On Sunday, March 3, from 2-2:30 p.m., join us for a delightful performance by Karen Rae Kraut. This event will be held at Riverside Art Museum downtown, located at 3425 Mission Inn Avenue. On the 32nd anniversary of the creation of Women’s History Month, Karen Rae Kraut shares folk tales centering on brave women who match wits with powerful adversaries. We’ll also learn why it’s so difficult to keep a secret! Audience members will have the opportunity to provide musical accompaniment on a dizzying array of rhythm instruments. "What distinguishes a truly 'creative' teller is her ability to create something so deliciously new and unique with words and art so traditionally and classically celebrated. I was mesmerized; and your playful ways of getting us involved as only you can do added such wonderful balance to such a mysterious and profound tale." —Jim Cogan, Tellabration "I was struck by the transformative power of this kind of program. Especially pronounced was the change on the look of the faces of the adults who, for a while, stepped into another world and lightened and filled their spirits." —Karen Delshad, Fairview Branch Library, Santa Monica Check out other exciting First Sundays activities at the RAM. April 7th, Karen Rae Kraut’s story, “When the Monkeys Came Back,” will highlight the value of nature, setting the tone for Earth day later in the month. And on May 5, she will celebrate the spring season with the Native American story, “Grandmother Spider Brings the Light.” Karen Rae Kraut is an award-winning family performing artist, storyteller, variety entertainer, comedienne, singer, teaching artist and workshop presenter. Her shows include adaptations of world folktales, music, songs, movement, and her own special brand of audience participation. She has performed for school, library, and community audiences since 1990 from California to East Tennessee.

This event will be held at Culver Center, located at 3834 Main St, Riverside, CA 92501. Join Roger and Norm as they discuss their latest books and the processes they have used in coming up with these books. One a physical scientist, one a social scientist, they both have a keen interest in one another's work, and enjoy helping people understand complex subjects. Books will be available for purchase. Light refreshments will be served. This event is free and open to the public. About the Books: Gambling on War: Confidence, Fear, and the Tragedy of the First World War The First World War left a legacy of chaos that is still with us a century later. Why did European leaders resort to war and why did they not end it sooner? Roger L. Ransom sheds new light on this enduring puzzle by employing insights from prospect theory and notions of risk and uncertainty. He reveals how the interplay of confidence, fear, and a propensity to gamble encouraged aggressive behavior by leaders who pursued risky military strategies in hopes of winning the war. Sex on the Kitchen Table Sex and food are intimately intertwined, and this relationship is nowhere more evident than among the plants that sustain us. From lascivious legumes to horny hot peppers, most of humanity’s calories and other nutrition come from seeds and fruits—the products of sex—or from flowers, the organs that make plant sex possible. Sex has also played an arm’s-length role in delivering plant food to our stomachs, as human handmade evolution (plant breeding, or artificial selection) has turned wild species into domesticated staples. Norman C. Ellstand is Distinguished Professor of Genetics at the University of California, Riverside, where he holds the Jane S. Johnson Endowed Chair in Food and Agriculture. He is also the author of Dangerous Liaisons?: When Cultivated Plants Mate with Their Wild Relatives. Roger L. Ransom is Distinguished Professor of History and Economics, Emeritus at the University of California, Riverside. He is best know for his work with Richard Sutch on the American Civil War and has authored several other publications. 2:00 pm: FIRST SUNDAYS AT RAM WITH KAREN RAE KRAUT March 3, 2019 2:00 pm – 2:30 pm On Sunday, March 3, from 2-2:30 p.m., join us for a delightful performance by Karen Rae Kraut. This event will be held at Riverside Art Museum downtown, located at 3425 Mission Inn Avenue. On the 32nd anniversary of the creation of Women’s History Month, Karen Rae Kraut shares folk tales centering on brave women who match wits with powerful adversaries. We’ll also learn why it’s so difficult to keep a secret! Audience members will have the opportunity to provide musical accompaniment on a dizzying array of rhythm instruments. "What distinguishes a truly 'creative' teller is her ability to create something so deliciously new and unique with words and art so traditionally and classically celebrated. I was mesmerized; and your playful ways of getting us involved as only you can do added such wonderful balance to such a mysterious and profound tale." —Jim Cogan, Tellabration "I was struck by the transformative power of this kind of program. Especially pronounced was the change on the look of the faces of the adults who, for a while, stepped into another world and lightened and filled their spirits." —Karen Delshad, Fairview Branch Library, Santa Monica Check out other exciting First Sundays activities at the RAM. April 7th, Karen Rae Kraut’s story, “When the Monkeys Came Back,” will highlight the value of nature, setting the tone for Earth day later in the month. And on May 5, she will celebrate the spring season with the Native American story, “Grandmother Spider Brings the Light.” Karen Rae Kraut is an award-winning family performing artist, storyteller, variety entertainer, comedienne, singer, teaching artist and workshop presenter. Her shows include adaptations of world folktales, music, songs, movement, and her own special brand of audience participation. She has performed for school, library, and community audiences since 1990 from California to East Tennessee.

The program will include works by Kate Alexandrite, Nathan Bockelman, Anna Wittenberg, Paul Kelley, Terry Chatkupt, Dicky Bahto, and Olivia Leiter. Several of the filmmakers will be present for a Q&A! Desert screened on 16mm, all other works screened digitally. This event is free and open to the public.
