Hope those of you who are not in Washington on Sept 29 can check out the streaming video of the New York Times' Tom Friedman present his new book Hot, Flat, and Crowded at the Wilson Center. You can watch at www.wilsoncenter.org and details are listed at right under events.

We have had to move the event from the Wilson Center space to the Atrium in the Reagan Building because of an overwhelming response (550 and counting). So if you are in DC, there will be space for you. Come early for the 10am start. If you are on-line, please tune in and let us know what you think.

Best, Geoff Dabelko, ECSP Director

Check out our new video featuring Geoff on “Water Wars or Water Woes? Water Management as Conflict Management." You can find it in the YouTube Video Box on the right or on ECSP's YouTube channel - http://www.youtube.com/user/ECSPWWC.

The Monterey Institute of International Studies has an Environmental Security Association on campus. All student or residents in the area are welcome to join! Please contact Adrienne (adrienne.stork@miis.edu) or Ben (benjamin.foster@miis.edu) for more information! We will be gathering a group to watch the upcoming webcasts at the MIIS campus. Thanks!

I should also say we will host New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman on his new book Hot, Flat and Crowded on September 29 at 10am EST and that meeting will also be webcast live. Hope you can tune in. We are CERTAIN to be hearing a lot about this book.

Quick FYI - We have Stanford Professor Paul Ehrlich presenting his new book The Dominant Animal at the Wilson Center on September 28 at 3pm EST. Ehrlich is famous for a lot of reasons, not the least of which was his 1968 book The Population Bomb. Recent headline for a pre-publication radio interview with Ehrlich was entitled Too Many People, Too Much Stuff. He is never dull or uncontroversial so we hope you will tune in to the event webcast live at www.wilsoncenter.org and will likely start 10 minutes after the hour. Hope you will tune in.
