Momentum 2009 Speakers Bibliography

Momentum 2009 brings together a group of 300 dynamic participants comprised of forward-thinking activists, philanthropists, and social entrepreneurs. The issues that face society today defy simple solutions. Only by understanding how our issues and work are interconnected can we hope to create the change that is needed for a healthy, just, and vibrant world.

Momentum is more than a conference &ndash it is a creative space, an opportunity for connection, and a place where boundaries are broken and bridges are built. At Momentum, the best new thinking provokes conversation, invites debate, and inspires leaders to view their work through new lenses all the while forging dynamic new relationships.

This is a list of books authored or edited by people presenting at this year’s Momentum conference.
