Radio stations across the country are interviewing James Gustave Speth about his new book The Bridge at the Edge of the World: Capitalism, the Environment, and Crossing from Crisis to Sustainability.

On Monday morning, Speth could be heard on Focus 580 with David Inge (WILL Illinois Public Radio). Hear that interview in RealAudio format here, or in MP3 here.

Monday evening, Speth appeared on At Issue with Ben Merens (Wisconsin Public Radio). That interview can be found here in RealAudio format.

Speth's upcoming radio appearances stretch from coast to coast. See the list after the jump.

James Gustave Speth, a distinguished leader and founder of environmental institutions over the past four decades, is dean of the School of Forestry and Environmental Studies at Yale University. He was awarded Japan’s Blue Planet Prize for “a lifetime of creative and visionary leadership in the search for science-based solutions to global environmental problems.” He lives in New Haven, CT.

The City of Keene is preparing for effects of climate change.

Two decisions on the environment have the state and environmentalists applauding.

The work of a Keene High School science class and other environmentalists has put a resolution on town meeting agendas demanding action on Global Warming.

These hardy ferns keep their bright green fronds all winter - and that can be a welcome sight in an otherwise drab, grey landscape.

A conference in Concord discussed some of the changes global warming may have on forests.

Climate change and population growth are having an impact on the state's water supply.

Across the country, millions of honeybees are missing and no one knows why. It's affecting the livelihood of New Hampshire beekeepers.

On November 3rd 2007, 4 teachers from the UK will be heading off to Antarctica on a scientific expedition.

They will spend four weeks camping in Antarctica, hiking through areas deep in the Antarctic interior that have not previously been subject to scientific research. The expedition has been organised by the Fuchs Foundation in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the first Trans-Antarctic crossing by Sir Vivian Fuchs.

The aim of the expedition is to inpsire pupils to take a greater interest in science, geography and the environment. Whilst on the ice, the teachers will be in daily contact with pupils through the internet. They will send back blogs, images and short video and audio files to enable pupils to ‘virtually’ experience field research in one of the most extreme environments on the planet.

And, yep, they’re doing it with edublogs too! Check out Amy Rogers, a science teacher in Nuneaton, and Ruth Hollinger, is a geography teacher in Sheffield.

Their edublogs to allow pupils to follow their progress through their selection and training and, naturally, they will update these blogs from Antarctica.

Hear more about it in a BBC Coventry radio interview.

Here’s the really important bit though: The teachers are looking for sponsorship as they each need to raise £10,000. If you are interested in donating money or in getting your company logo onto kit that would be visible in images and video footage please contact Dr Amy Rogers, Higham Lane School, Nuneaton: amy.c.rogers@gmail.com

Or forget the logo, and just help these guys run an amazing online educational experience by contributing or spreading the word to as many people as you can.

Dan Reed is Microsoft's Director of Scalable/Multi-Core Systems Research and head of the recently formed Universal Parallel Computing Research Centers (UPCRC): one at the University of California at Berkeley (UC-Berkeley) and a second at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). Since we focus a great deal on the Cocurrency and Parallelism Revolution here on C9 we figured Dan would be another great technical guru to talk about Multi/Many-Core's impact of the future of general purpose computing. The angle of this conversation focuses attention on the server-side parallelism story which is distinct from the client problem (as addressed deeply and eloquently by Burton Smith here).

Certainly the Cloud, as it were, must be scalable and highly performant in the parallel age of Many-Core. What are some of the challenges on the server side with respect to concurrent processing? Clustered server environments have traditionally been very good at parallel computation (compared to the general purpose client) so what's Dan and Microsoft working on to ensure our Cloud scales to Many-Core?

Dan has a very interesting biography:

A new report in the latest issue of BioScience Journal has found five mercury hotspots, one of them in New Hampshire.

Legislators heard from a panel of scientists on the ramifications of global warming on New Hampshire.

Builders are using trees killed by the Ash Borer to show visitors how much damage invasive species can wreak.

Residents in about 60-percent of New Hampshire towns have voted in favor of a climate change resolution.
