Tom Friedman's background as a reporter for The New York Times and his expertise in the Middle East led this three-time Pulitzer Prize winner to pen The Lexus and the Olive Tree, The World is Flat and, most recently, Hot, Flat and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution - and How It Can Renew America.

Maryville University's St. Louis Speakers Series invites you to Powell Symphony Hall to experience the ultimate in cultural entertainment - seven evenings of diverse opinions, profound insights and fascinating discussion on a broad scope of issues.  For the past eleven seasons, Pulitzer Prize and Nobel Peace Prize winners, world leaders, statesmen, distinguished journalists, authors and other celebrated personalities have enlightened, inspired and entertained St. Louis audiences.
