Historic LoDo: This event has been CANCELLED. We apologize for any inconvenience. Peter Hessler is a staff writer at The New Yorker, where he served as the Beijing correspondent from 2000 to 2007, and the New York Times bestselling and award-winning author of Oracle Bones and River Town. Hessler will present a slide show and sign Country Driving: A Journey Through China from Farm to Factory ($27.99 HarperCollins), the third and final book in his award-winning China trilogy. Country Driving addresses the human side of the economic revolution in China, focusing on economics and development, and shows how the auto boom helps China shift from urban to rural, from farming to business.

Colfax Avenue: Visionary social thinker Joel Kotkin will discuss and sign his new book The Next Hundred Million: America in 2050 ($25.95 Penguin), in which he looks ahead 40 years, revealing how the addition of one hundred million Americans by mid-century will transform how we all live, work, and prosper. Kotkin’s book provides a vivid snapshot of America in 2050 by focusing not on power brokers, policy disputes, or abstract trends, but rather on the evolution of the more intimate units of American society—families, towns, neighborhoods, industries. It is upon the success or failure of these communities, Kotkin argues, that the American future rests. Visit Joel Kotkin’s website. Request a signed copy: books@tatteredcover.com
