DESCRIPTION:On Monday night, Derrick Jensen will be speaking at UCSC, hosted by the 
 Education for Sustainable Living Program (ESLP). The event will take place 
 at Classroom Unit 2 and is open to the public.\n\nDerrick Jensen is the 
 bestselling author of A Language Older Than Words and Endgame. Author, 
 teacher, activist, beekeeper, and leading\nvoice of uncompromising dissent, 
 he regularly stirs auditoriums across the 
 country.\n\nhttp://derrickjensen.org/\n\n"We are members of the most 
 destructive culture ever to exist. Our assault on the natural world, on 
 indigenous and other cultures, on women, on children, on all of us through 
 the possibility of nuclear suicide and other means--all these are 
 unprecedented in their magnitude and ferocity."\n\nSo began my first book, 
 Listening to the Land . Why do we act as we do? What are sane and effective 
 responses to outrageously destructive behavior? What will it take for us to 
 stop the horrors that characterize our way of being? My work and life 
 revolve around these questions.\n\nPraise for Derrick Jensen:\n\n"Jensen 
 has achieved the impossible: a book that is simultaneously horrifying and 
 uplifting, terrifying and beautiful. I could not put it down."\n- Frances 
 Moore Lappé, author of Diet for a Small Planet\n\n"A Language Older Than 
 Words is what Franz Kafka said a book should be--an axe for the frozen sea 
 within us. The reader should be advised that this is both high praise and 
 sincere warning: Dangerous reading here. Proceed at your own risk."\n- 
 Daniel Quinn, author of Ishmael and Beyond Civilization\n\n"The primordial 
 language of the universe is the language expressed in the night sky, in the 
 dawn and the sunset, in the flight of the eagle. It resonates in the song 
 of the meadowlark, in the fragile bloom of the orchid. . . the mountains, 
 the valleys and the rivers . . . and this book."\n- Father Thomas Berry, 
 author of The Dream of the Earth\n\n"A rare and original voice of sanity in 
 a chaotic world. He has wisdom and wit, grace and style, and is a wonderful 
 guide to a good life beautifully lived."\n- Howard Zinn\n\n"Jensen's book 
 accomplishes the rare feat of both breaking and mending the reader's 
 heart."\n- Publishers Weekly\n\n"A Language Older than Words is must 
 reading for anyone in the least concerned about the nature of our common 
 future."\n- Ward Churchill, author and activist \n\n"...a gifted and 
 lyrical writer on a wide range of critical issues. He is unrelenting in his 
 commitment to the environment and justice."\n- Winona Laduke\n\nBooks by 
 Derrick Jensen:\n\nEndgame vol. 1 & 2\nWelcome to the Machine: Science, 
 Surveillance, and the Culture of Control\nWalking on Water: Reading,
