Come to Busboys and Poets to see author Antonia Juhasz sign and discuss her new book, The Tyranny of Oil.  This work is a chilling expose of the modern American oil industry, its dire abuse of power, and how an industry-wide dissolution of powerful monopolies is the only answer to our ongoing oil crisis.

Also, see author Michael Brune, executive director of the Rainforest Action Network (RAN) discuss his new book, Coming Clean, which showcases how we, as motivated citizens, can promote solutions and collectively pressure policymakers and corporations to change their energy priorities. His vivid reports remind us of the economic, environmental, moral, and public-health costs of fossil-fuel dependence, and how our government and financial institutions are complicit.

Booksignings and talks are free and open to all.
