\nA book Presentation by author David Lind, Monday, September 21st, 2009 2:00 pm SDSU Library LL-430
\nDavid Lind\u2019s last book, First Stop in the New World, is a street-level panorama of contemporary Mexico City that covers a lot of ground- from the richest man in the world to a 13 year old girl who lives on the streets and sniffs glue.<\/p>\n
\nStudents from all departments are invited to LASSO – No English-Spoken Lunches.
\nTUESDAYS from 12noon to 1:30 – bring your lunch and come practice Spanish, Portuguese, Mixtec, Zapotec, Nahuatl or any other languages of Latin America. We provide non-alcoholic drinks!
\nWe look forward to seeing you around!<\/p>\n
