| East Bay Dinner Talk: |

| Alan Mann, Princeton Professor of Anthropology
Princeton Professor of
Anthropology Alan Mann is coming to visit the Bay Area and will be the guest
speaker at a dinner talk to be held in the East Bay (the location of dinner will
be determined by the geographic distribution of those interested in attending).
Professor Mann is a physical anthropologist with a primary interest in the
fossil evidence for human evolution. His current research focuses on the
evolution of the Neanderthals and their relationships to modern peoples. A
particular interest of his is the origin of language and its importance in the
emergence of the quality of “humanness”.
He has done field work in South and East Africa, Israel, Iran, Afghanistan,
Croatia, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Germany and now works primarily in the
southwest of France. He is co-director of the excavation of a Middle Paleolithic
site in the Charente Department of southwest France where Princeton students
excavated last summer as part of the university's summer course on modern human
origins. He has been a consultant for the National Geographic Society and is
the Anthropology consultant for the World Book Encyclopedia. He has served as a
consulting forensic anthropologist to many cities in the northeast and he says
that discovering clues that helped to free an innocent young man from
imprisonment was the best thing he has ever done.
Dr. Mann is currently co-director of a project sponsored by the National Science
Foundation to develop an exhibit on the implications of human evolution to be
shown first at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and
Anthropology and later to travel to other science museums around the country.
This subject is the topic Dr. Mann will introduce at the Alumni Association of
Naples in February.
Dr. Mann received his Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley and at
Princeton teaches courses on human evolution, human adaptation, biological
anthropology and the concept of race.

About Queen Noor:
Queen Noor, born Lisa Najeeb Halaby, earned a BA degree in architecture and
urban planning at Princeton, where she was a member of the first co-educational
class. Her work on international urban planning projects brought her to Jordan
where she was involved in planning an aviation training school and where she met
King Hussein.
Since her marriage to King Hussein in 1978, Queen Noor has worked to promote
international understanding of Middle Eastern politics, Arab-Western relations
and other global issues. In Jordan and around the world, she has been an active
force behind initiatives in the areas of disarmament and peace, education, women
and children's welfare, community development, human rights, environment and
architectural conservation, culture, and public architecture and planning.
Since the death of King Hussein in 1999, Queen Noor has chaired the King Hussein
Foundation, an international non-governmental organization established by royal
decree to give meaningful _expression to the late King's humanitarian vision and
legacy with emphasis on democracy and peace, education and leadership,
environment and health.

| Urban walk from the SF financial district over Telegraph
Hill and back along the Embarcadero
Mike Cohen '02 and Dan
Sullivan '63 will guide us on a zigzag route along the original shoreline of
Yerba Buena Cove (now the center of the SF financial district), before climbing
up the steep streets of Telegraph Hill to Coit Tower. Depending on the time and
group interest, we might go up the Tower, or we'll just enjoy the view from the
plaza at the base. We will then use the historic Filbert Stairway to descend the
very steep east side of Telegraph Hill, keeping a lookout for the cherry-headed
conures that are featured in the current film of "The Wild Parrots of Telegraph
Hill." Back on flat ground, we will cross through Levi's Plaza to the
Embarcadero, and then go along San Francisco's current shoreline to the open
marketplace in the Ferry Building. Bring snacks for the walk, but leave room to
try the temptations in the food shops at the Ferry Building. We should get there
in time for a late lunch.
Princeton friends and children are welcome. Strollers are feasible if you don't
mind pushing them up steep streets and carrying them on stairways. RSVP is
helpful, but not required.
Lets meet at 11 a.m. by the Mechanics Monument at the intersection of Market,
Battery, and Bush Streets in San Francisco. This small plaza is between the
Embarcadero and Montgomery Street BART stations.

| The Lost Kingdom of Siam: Art of Central Thailand
1350-1800
Enjoy a private tour of
The Kingdom of Siam: The Art of Central Thailand at its only West Coast venue -
the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco. This exhibition is the first ever to
explore one of Thailand's golden eras. Beginning in the mid-14th century, kings
based in Ayutthaya (now a UNESCO World Heritage site in central Thailand) ruled
over a cosmopolitan, prosperous and powerful kingdom for more than 400 years.
An invation by neigboring Burma in the late 18th century devastated the city;
this eventually led to the rise of a new Siamese dynasty with its capital at
Bangkok.
The Kingdom of Siam features 89 of the finest surviving works from the Ayutthaya
period. Highlights include gold royal jewelry and ceremonial objects discovered
in a temple crypt, enormous stone and bronze Buddha images, sculptures of Hindu
deities, wood carvings, temple furnishings, colorful miniature paintings, and
textiles.
Now more than ever it is important to appreciate the history and culture of the
people of Thailand. We hope that you will join us for our tour. Spots are
limited so RSVP soon!
