The Scranton Memorial
Library presents, with The Friends of
Hammonasset, the first in the “Scranton Series”: Journey of the Universe: a documentary exploring the human
connection to Earth and the cosmos, produced by Yale historian of religions
Mary Evelyn Tucker. This film invites viewers to become travelers on a journey
that explores the origins of the universe, the emergence of life, and the rise
of humans. Journey of the Universe
weaves together the findings of modern science with cultural traditions of the
West, China, Africa, India, and indigenous peoples to explore cosmic evolution
as a process of creativity, connection, and inter-dependence. 55 minutes,
plus discussion to follow.
