One thing is clear: The mindset that sent much of the world into economic, environmental and social crisis is not the mindset that will fix our problems. Thomas Friedman, author of #1 New York Times bestseller Hot, Flat and Crowded, has great ideas about how we can think fresh, change our mindset, and create a better tomorrow. In his Portland lecture, Friedman will talk about the themes in his new book and ways to create a more resilient future.
Post-lecture Q&A at 1:00pm, book signing at 1:15pm
Seating is first-come, first-served. Venue holds 1,300 people.

About Friedman
Foreign Affairs columnist for The New York Times
Tom Friedman is the writer the public looks to for the straight talk
and reliable information it needs about the world — especially when
events seem too menacing to comprehend and policy discussions are
clouded in a smokescreen of politics and posturing. Covering many of
the monumental stories of recent decades, he has won three Pulitzer
Prizes and been called “the country’s best newspaper columnist” by Vanity Fair.
His new book, Hot, Flat and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution — and How It Can Renew America (Sept. '08), is a #1 New York Times bestseller. His previous bestseller, The World is Flat, has sold more than two million copies. His other bestsellers include Longitudes and Attitudes: The World in the Age of Terrorism, The Lexus and the Olive Tree and From Beirut to Jerusalem, which serves as a basic text on the Middle East in colleges and universities nationwide and won the National Book Award.
