Written on Jun 26 2008Progressive theorist and philosopher of cognitive linguistics at UC Berkeley and founder of the Rockridge Institute gave a very engaging and reasonable explanation of his ideas in his new book. He also answered several questions from the audience. A very enlightening hour!
The Hoover Theater venue is small and the seating is general so get there early!
