Atomic Physics: Origins of the Quantum Theory of the Atom
As we moved into the 20th century, the laws of classical physics could no longer interpret observations from new experiments involving the interaction between various forms of energy and matter. This course will explore those experiments and explain how a new theory of matter was formulated to account for these surprising observations. Einstein, Planck, and Bohr were among the key players who interpreted these experiments in a way that revolutionized atomic physics. You will learn about the “Ultraviolet Catastrophe” (blackbody radiation), the Photoelectric Effect, the discovery of the electron, the hydrogen atom, elliptical orbits, quantized magnetic moments, and several other key experiments. The Quantum Theory that emerged laid the foundation for our contemporary understanding of matter.

Burcham Hills Summer History Seminars
Medieval Feasts and Banquets, Wednesday, July 8, 7-8:30 p.m. During the Middle Ages (12th-15th centuries), feasts and banquets were a mainstay of pleasure and entertainment for the rich and famous. They were events of great interest and stagecraft as well. People ate different foods from the ones we enjoy, at different times of the day, using different utensils. Learn how the medieval table was set, who sat where, who served the food, how the food was prepared (including the features of the medieval kitchen), and how long banquets lasted. The course will conclude with a review of the sumptuous menu for the coronation banquet of King Henry VI of England in 1399.|
Cleopatra: Queen of the Nile and the Last Pharaoh, Wednesday, July 15, 7-8:30 p.m. Cleopatra was arguably one of the most beautiful and influential women of the ancient world. Although she only lived to the age of 39 (60-30 B.C.), she was the last Pharaoh of her family, the Ptolemies who had ruled Egypt for over three hundred years. She bore a son to Julius Caesar and three children, including a set of twins to Mark Antony. Discover what archaeologists are continuing to learn about Cleopatra as you take a closer look at this remarkable woman.
1857: Change Rocks the World!, Wednesday, July 22, 7-8:30 p.m. Although the Civil War was only on the horizon in 1857, the inauguration of James Buchanan as America’s President and the Supreme Court’s Dred Scott decision only made war more likely. In India, the Great Mutiny against the British Raj broke out, an event that would lead to the dissolution of all the great colonial empires. There were three on-going wars elsewhere in the world, as well as a series of major earthquakes. In England, Queen Victoria reigned, and in Paris the Bohemian age of artists and writers was in full swing. Two major French literary works were published and they rocked all the norms of their time: Flaubert’s novel, Madame Bovary, and Baudelaire’s poetry collection, Les Fleurs du Mal. Come explore the world of 1857, a year when foundations began to shake the world over!

First Ladies
In recent years, we have seen the lives and achievements of presidential wives emerge from the shadows of their famous husbands. This course will take you back in time to explore several “First Ladies” as interesting persons in their own right, as helpmates and partners for their husbands, and as shapers of the role of “First Lady” starting with Martha Washington. Dolley Madison defined the unique social world of the White House that subsequent presidential wives developed in different ways. Dolley served as a hostess for two presidents, Jefferson and Madison, and became the most famous and beloved First Lady of the 19th century. Edith Galt Wilson became a surrogate president for a while after Woodrow Wilson was incapacitated by a stroke. Eleanor Roosevelt became a partner with her husband and roamed the country as his eyes and ears. After Franklin D. Roosevelt’s death, Eleanor went on to achieve an extraordinary career as one of the country’s most influential women.

Gardens of England: Exotic Cornwall
Take this online course and tour the gardens of Cornwall, England, from the comfort of your home any time of the day or evening. Cornwall, located in the extreme southwestern part of England (often called “the toe”), is bathed in the warm water of the Gulf Stream and has some of the greatest gardens in the world featuring exotic plants from as far away as New Zealand, North Africa, South America, the Canary Islands, Australia, and South Africa. Your host, Mary McLellan, state coordinator for the Michigan State University Master Gardener Program, will begin the tour in the terraced gardens of a medieval castle located atop the rocky island of St. Michael’s Mount. From there you will go to the Isles of Scilly to explore one of the world’s most incredible plant collections at the Tresco Abbey Garden. You will visit the magical garden at Trebah and the formal landscape of Dartington Hall. You will also explore the Lost Gardens of Heligan, asleep for more than 70 years and scene of the largest garden restoration project in Europe; you will even get a quick view of this Eden as it is being built. The adventure ends with a garden tour of the world-famous Chelsea Flower Show and includes some of the spectacular displays from the show.

Louis XIV: The Sun King
Louis XIV (1638-1715) was arguably France's most important ruler. His reign was the longest reign in French history (1643-1715) and his court at Versailles set high standards for all European monarchs. He was known for extravagant pleasures, ambition for expanding France's territories, and world supremacy. He called himself the "Sun King" because he considered the sun "the most vigorous and the most splendid image of a great monarch." This course will explore the challenges Louis XIV faced, his many accomplishments, and the glittering social scene he both created and dominated.

MSU and the Cereal King: W.K. Kellogg
Designated a Michigan Historic Landmark, the W.K. Kellogg Estate on Gull Lake (near Hickory Corners) is a beautifully restored Tudor mansion with a lot of history and character. Built by W.K. Kellogg in 1926, the house sits 110 feet above Gull Lake on a 32-acre estate which still has all of the original buildings including a carriage house, greenhouse, caretaker's cottage, boathouse, and a 200-year-old windmill. Inside treasures include Rookwood tile, oak-paneled rooms, and original Flemish tapestries. In 1952, the estate was given to Michigan State University and is now part of the university's Kellogg Biological Station. Participants will enjoy a tour of the estate while learning about W.K. Kellogg-the man and his times including his interest in the environment, education, philanthropy, and of course the corn flake. Light refreshments will be served after the two-hour tour. Participants will provide their own transportation. Directions and maps will be mailed with registration confirmations.

Nanotechnology Will Change your Life
This course will introduce you to the basic concepts of nanotechnology and its growing capabilities. Nanotechnology is providing astonishing new developments in materials, energy, computers, and medicine. We already have stronger, lighter materials for sports equipment. Clothes are being made with water-repellent and stain-resistant molecules woven into the fabric. Computer memory chips include small fast nanotube circuits that allow accessing data on the chip using less energy. New solar cells use nano-sized materials to convert more of the sun’s energy to electricity to power our homes and cars. Nano-sized gold particles are being used in an experimental cancer therapy. How will this change our daily lives? Nanotechnology will provide: new materials for buildings, cars, and aircraft; smaller, faster, energy-efficient computers that are also smarter and easier to use; electrical power generation without burning fossil fuels; and more effective medicine leading to longer, healthier lives and reduced medical costs. Nanotechnology is the wave of the present and the future is coming sooner than you think!
