It may sound like an oxymoron, but concrete in North America frequently contains up to 6 per cent
air. Why, is something I talk about in Concrete: From Ancient Origins to a Problematic Future, which will be officially published Oct. 10. But before then there's a chance to learn more about it and my thoughts on the material that built the world as we know it.
Winnipeg's Thin Air Festival is now on, and is featuring two videos I've made about concrete as well as an interview with festival staffer Teresa Horosko. Then on Sunday October 11 I'll be leading a 90 minute interactive workshop on writing non-fiction, called Thanks for the Memory: Writing Non-Fiction in a Time of False News.
