Best-selling author to speak at Monday luncheon

On Monday, March 8, Thomas Homer-Dixon will address the Mineral Outlook luncheon which is sponsored by Newmont Mining Corporation and Kinross Gold Corporation. The author of the best-selling book, The Ingenuity Gap, Homer-Dixon is director of the peace and conflict studies program and associate professor in the department of political science at the University of Toronto. He will speak about the ingenuity gap, which he describes as the critical problem we face today. He asks whether we can create and implement useful ideas fast enough to solve the problems — environmental, social and technological — that we have created.
