Speaker: Thomas Levy, Ph.D.
“I had better write my story down before I forget it,” is what world-renowned archaeologist of the deserts of the Holy Land, Professor Thomas Levy, thought to himself when he retired from teaching.  There are many layers to the stories that Tom shares with us tonight in his latest book, “The Boomer Archaeologist: A Graphic Memoir of Tribes, Identity, and the Holy Land.” The book is written for many different audiences, with stories woven together for his family, his many students, his professional colleagues, the Boomer, Millennials, and later generations in the USA, the Jewish world, and for those archaeologists now charting the future of archaeology, with new technologies that offer new approaches, and changes in the way the field of archaeology views itself.  Join us for this interview-format presentation. The book is a lot of fun to read, with graphic illustrations done by his niece, Lily Almeida, based in London. Signed copies of the book will be available for purchase at the end of the presentation at the reception. Location: The ABDNHA Library. General Public: $12, Members: $10, Volunteers: $8.
