When the Earth Gives Way, for Better or Worse

When a tunnel collapses or a mudslide occurs, what has really happened beneath the earth's surface? How do human activities such as mining, construction, and agriculture interact with soil structure?

James Hambleton, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Northwestern University, will speak on "When the Earth Gives Way, for Better or Worse." Sponsored by the Friends of the Glencoe Public Library.

ITZHAK

On its surface, the career of renowned violist Itzhak Perlman warrants a loving film biography. Beyond the obvious success, there is much more: a polio survivor whose parents emigrated from Poland to Israel; violin playing of such a quality that Tel Aviv violinmaker Amnon Weinstein refers to it as "praying with the violin;" a 50-year marriage with wife Toby amongst a large and loving Jewish family in New York City; and continual support for young musicians. Alison Chernick's film captures all of these aspects of a rich and prolific life.

80 minutes. Not rated.
