Ken Feder is on our advisory board for Skeptical Inquirer magazine. He wrote
a very good college textbook (that is also accessible to the layman) called
_Frands, Myths, & Mysteries: Science and Pseudoscience in Archaeology_. It
is an excellent book and quite unique on the subject matter. Feder is also a
very decent, generous individual and would likely be willing to provide
valuable input to your efforts. He speaks a lot at our conferences and has
helped me with several grants. It's great to hear his ideas have been given
some mainstream publicity.
Best,
Amanda

Shockingly, the Hartford Courant - normally willing to give press to all
kinds of hooey - ran a prominent and well-done piece this morning about
Kenneth Feder, a professor at Central Connecticut State University who
specializes in injecting a dose of reality into wild archaeological claims.

Ami,
Perhaps you might be interested in incorporating the skeptical perspective
into your program. Skeptical Inquirer magazine and our Skeptical Briefs
newsletter has written quite extensively on the subject. If you would like
me to dig up some of the articles on this I would be happy to send them your
way. I believe our "sister" organization, Prometheus Books
(www.prometheusbooks.com), may also have a few books on the subject.
Best,

Hi everyone,
We are developing a new Smart program about Atlantis.
I will welcome any suggestions regarding the content of this program.
If your institute wishes to take part in this production, please email
me directly.

About Smart Theater Network:
Smart is a new, unique platform for educational multi-sensory movies as
part of the complete museum experience.
Smart's business strategy is to utilize existing infrastructure, such as
auditoriums, upgrading them to serve as a platform for the Smart
programs. Each program is developed in full academic and educational
cooperation with one member museum, but it is paid for by Smart. Then,
the programs are shared with all of the member museums, localized to fit
the profile of the visitors at each museum around the world.
The cost of the permanent technological upgrade is similar to that of a
traveling exhibition. The initial investment is expected to be returned
after one operational year, after which the proceeds are divided between
Smart and the museum.
Smart Theater Network was founded by Ori Yardeni. Ori is an award
winning "imagineer" (imagination engineer), who has produced more than
390 media projects worldwide.
Among Ori's educational attractions are:
* The "Time Elevator Network" tells the stories of cities and
nations by virtually traveling downwards, through the layers of time, to
discover the history of Jerusalem, Rome, Cyprus and the US.
* The "Oceanarium" is a simulated submarine that takes us
underwater, to see the hidden wonders of the oceans.
* "Explore the Universe" upgraded the passive planetarium to an
overwhelming active experience. A 360 degree simulator reveals the
secrets of the universe.
Smart Theater Network actively and passionately invests in developing
many forms of media and technology. Relying on vast previous experience
while continually exploring new creative and technological grounds
enables Smart to respond to ever-evolving needs of customers and
audiences.
The productions are closely accompanied leading academic and scientific
consultants, to ensure the quality of the content.
