Explorer and award-winning author, James Michael Dorsey returns to the library to revive his “BEFORE THEY VANISH,” travel presentation series.

James has visited dozens of isolated cultures in the world’s most remote areas; many that have no written language. Through vivid digital photography and master storytelling, James will introduce you to people and places much of the world does not know exist. Each monthly presentation will take you inside at least two varied societies.

Tonight’s journey will take us through the ancient land of Jordan. We will visit Wadi Rum, the military base of T.E. Lawrence, explore the mysteries of Petra, and visit desert Bedouins plus numerous biblical sites. After that we will travel through Myanmar, a land of ethereal beauty infused with religious fervor, as we visit temples, monks and nuns, and finally we will venture into West Africa to learn a bit about voodoo, one of the oldest religions in existence and one that is very much misunderstood by many people here in the west.

James will be selling and signing his books about these travels and looks forward to answering your questions about how our fellow humankind lives across this planet.
