Author James Howard Kunstler, social critic of America's architecture, urban planning and dependence upon foreign-oil sources, was the featured guest at a series of October events in Spokane, including a lecture at Whitworth. Kunstler, author of The Long Emergency: Surviving the End of the Oil Age, Climate Change, and Other Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-first Century (Atlantic Monthly Press, 2005), recommended that Americans remedy the impending oil crisis by changing how they live, which includes limiting urbanization, decreasing the use of automobiles, and revamping the country's infrastructure. "Bruce Willis is not going to come in and rescue us; we're going to have to do it ourselves," Kunstler says.
