The presenter described types of volcanism around the world in an interesting way and used excellent charts, graphs and photos to accompany her lecture.”

“Road Scholar's online offerings provide excellent lectures in the comfort of your own home. This lecture on new research being done on King Tut and other tombs in the Valley of the Kings gave viewers access to photographs, explanations and a lecturer that has an unparalleled network and experience in Egyptian archaeology. Lectures of this caliber are seldom found and reinforce how Road Scholar experiences are exceptional.”
