About these Presentations

Collier County Public Library

From 2017 to date, I have made more than 90 presentations, 90 minutes each, at six branches of the Collier County (Florida) Public Library.  They are mainly about the history, politics, economy, and culture of individual countries or, sometimes, regions.  Several are about Naples, Florida, area activities.


Baker Senior Center, Naples   

In May 2023, I began making similar monthly presentations at the new Baker Senior Center in Naples, Florida. As with the Library, these are a mix of international and local subjects.

________________________________________________________________

 

Scroll down below for links to PDFs of the slides in those presentations – sorted by country. In my opinion, they're much more like "adult education" than "travel planning". Still, I think you may find them useful if you're going to visit one of these places.

 

I took virtually all of the photos in all of the presentations.  Some presentations may need updating for events since delivery.


I've done many of these presentations more than once.  The PDFs below are the most recent versions.

 

The Barbados 2, Busan, Paris, and Washington presentations have not yet been delivered.
