design@aumcomputers.net · September 30, 2010 ·

For two days, 20 speakers are gathering at this scholarly symposium in France to   “recontextualize” the historic and wild counter-cultural event that was Woodstock!

He described the voracious and amoebic development of Los Angeles with its negative unintended consequences as it sprawled over the former wild and wetlands, wiping out predators and spreading disease.
