DESCRIPTION:Bill McKibben is the author of The End of Nature, written in 1989 and 
 regarded as the first book for a general audience about climate change. His 
 new book is Deep Economy: The Wealth of Communities and the Durable Future. 
 McKibben, a scholar in residence in environmental studies at Middlebury 
 College and the recipient of Guggenheim and Lyndhurst fellowships, was 
 awarded the 2000 Lannan Prize in Nonfiction Writing.  He is spearheading 
 Step It Up 2007 a National Day of Climate Action--April 14th, 2007 which 
 will have hundreds of rallies all across the country demanding: "Step it 
 up, Congress! Cut Carbon 80% by 2050."\n\nMichael Pollan is the author, 
 most recently, of The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four 
 Meals, a New York Times bestseller. His previous books are: The Botany of 
 Desire: A Plant’s-Eye View of the World (2001); A Place of My Own (1997); 
 and Second Nature (1991). A contributing writer to the New York Times 
 Magazine, Pollan is the recipient of numerous journalistic awards, 
 including the James Beard Award for best magazine series in 2003 and the 
 Reuters-I.U.C.N. 2000 Global Award for Environmental Journalism. Pollan 
 served for many years as executive editor of Harper’s Magazine and is now 
 the Knight Professor of Science and Environmental Journalism at UC 
 Berkeley. His articles have been anthologized in Best American Science 
 Writing (2004); Best American Essays (1990 and 2003) and the Norton Book of 
 Nature Writing.\n\nThe cult of growth and globalization has seldom been so 
 effectively, and hopefully, challenged as by Bill McKibben in Deep Economy. 
  But this bracing tonic of a book is much more than a searing critique of 
 the great orthodoxy of our time: McKibben also throws the bright light of 
 his matchless journalism on the vibrant local economies now springing up 
 like mushrooms in the shadow of the global economy. Deep Economy fills you 
 with a hope and a sense of fresh possibility.”  --Michael Pollan, author 
 of The Omnivore’s Dilemma\n\nTickets $10 in advance, $12 at door,
