A bunch of good events to catch, now if only there were two of me...Green Talk #1 at the Strand Bookstore explores the common ground between eating for pleasure and eating politics (Tues, Nov 14 7PM, free)...Also on Tuesday, MAS's Center for Urban Books hosts a panel, "The Humane Metropolis: People and Nature in the 21st Century" where you can catch Robert Yaro of RPA, a PPSer, NYRP, and a rising star in New York's sustainability movement, Menaka Mohan from the Sustainable South Bronx greenway project (Tues, Nov 14, 6:30 - 8PM, free, rsvp to rsvp@mas.org or 212.935.2075)...and another on Tuesday, 2005 Pritzker Prize-winner Thomas Mayne gives a free lecture at Cooper Union's Great Hall, where he will also be signing copies of Morphosis, his firm's monograph of built projects (a monograph which kept a close friend in LA busy for over a year) (Tues, Nov 14, 6:30)...and next week, yet another panel on Jane Jacobs at the MAS Center for Urban Books (Mon, Nov 20, 6:30 - 8PM, free, rsvp to rsvp@mas.org or 212.935.2075). Now I love Jane Jacobs as much as any other urban humanist, but honestly. The contrarian side of me is starting to get a bit uneasy with the mythologizing.
