What: talk20 and Fuel book launch
When: Friday, November 28, 4:30-7:00 pm
Where: Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design, University of Toronto (230 College Street, room 066)
About the book:
FUEL examines future of energy by asking about the politics, science, and history
that have shaped the impending crisis of supply while describing possible futures.
How will world work after coal and oil? Will the changes be slow or sudden? How
might we steer toward a future without massive disruption to our economic life? FUEL
addresses these and other questions about the necessary radical reinvention of energy.
About talk20:
Talk20 is not a lecture but a gathering, an open forum for the exchange of ideas.
Produced in cities around the world, Talk20 sparks conversations across ideological,
geographic, and disciplinary boundaries. Talk20 brings together individuals working in a
variety of ï¬elds to present ideas in a fast-paced, exciting format: each presenter
assembles 20 slides and projects each slide for 20 seconds, and 20 seconds only.
Presenters include: Ron Dembo, Kelly Doran, Chris Hardwicke, Robert Kirkbride, Maya Przybylski, Imre Szeman, Geoff Thà¼n, Kathy Velikov, Mason White
