Hear best-selling author Jared Diamond discuss his new book, "The World Until Yesterday: What Can We Learn from Traditional Societies."
The author of "Collapse" and "Guns, Germs and Steel," surveys the differences between "traditional" societies and industrial or post-industrial societies, with an eye to one question: what can we learn from the former that can make the world we live in a better place for all of us?

This will be a ticketed event, a fundraiser for the Friends of the Oak Park Public Library held at Unity Temple, 875 Lake Street, directly across the street from the Main Library.
