Newt Gingrich to Launch Environmental Book at JHU SAIS Event

The Johns Hopkins University Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced  International Studies (SAIS) and the Johns Hopkins University Press will host the Washington, D.C., book launch of A Contract With the Earth by Newt Gingrich on Monday, October 29 at 5:30 p.m.

This event will feature a discussion with Gingrich, former speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, and Scott Barrett, director of the SAIS International Policy Program, about Gingrich’s new book to be published November 1 by JHU Press.

Gingrich and his co-author, eminent conservationist Terry L. Maple, declare a need for bipartisan environmentalism-a new era of environmental stewardship with principles they believe most Americans will share.

The event, which is free and open to the public, will be held in the Kenney Auditorium of the school’s Nitze Building, located at 1740 Massachusetts Ave., N.W., in Washington, D.C. Members of the public must RSVP to 202.663.5648 or saispubaffairs@jhu.edu.

Members of the media who want to cover this event should contact Felisa Neuringer Klubes in the SAIS Communications Office at 202.663.5626 or fklubes@jhu.edu.
