Author Event, Antonia Juhasz and Mike Brune
6:30 - 8 PM - Antonia Juhasz will sign and discuss The Tyranny of Oil. THE TYRANNY OF OIL 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. Author Mike Brune will also discuss his new book Coming Clean.
In COMING CLEAN, Michael Brune, executive director of Rainforest Action Network (RAN), shows 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. Brune also describes the most promising developments in renewable energies, biofuels, and efficient design, and outlines an inspiring vision of the clean energy future within our reach.
Michael Brune holds dual B.S. degrees in economics and finance. As executive director of Rainforest Action Network, he oversees and provides strategic direction for the organization’s programs, including its Global Finance and Freedom from Oil campaigns. He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area.
