Special Guest Speakers

Dave Montgomery
Author, Guitarist and Vocalist with one of our featured bands Big Dirt, Dave Montgomery will be on hand to talk about his new book. Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations "Insightfully chronicles the rise of agricultural technology and concomitant fall of soil depth just about everywhere in the world, from prehistoric to modern times. . . . More than a history lesson of the legacies of past civilizations, the book raises a critical concern for modern times. We are currently losing soil 20 times faster, on average, than it is being replaced through the natural process. To meet the demands for food and, more recently, energy, we need Montgomery's scholarly, historical perspective, as well as the ability to project current trends of land management to future scenarios."—Nature.

David R. Montgomery, Professor of Earth and Space Sciences at the University of Washington, is also author of King of Fish: The Thousand-Year Run of Salmon.

Nik Peace
Nik Peace represents the directly interactive, theatrical aspect of 
Intelligent Future (PeaceOnDemand), at times serving food for thought 
through humorous observations from a perspective not of this world. 
Nik, a dedicated peace fan, is also a fan of fans and collects fans 
of all kinds. He makes and sells folding peace fans that are 
"efficient, inexpensive, and an immediately applicable solution to 
global warming."

Angela Jaster
Angela is Director of Youth Programs for Womenspace. She will talk about The Teen Zone, a place for teens to learn about relationships--safe and violent. The Teen Zone is part of Womenspace, an agency which helps women and children in Lane County have safe and healthy relationships. The Teen Zone gives teens the information they need to make their own decisions about their own lives.
