Hollis Research Professor of Divinity Harvey G. Cox, best known for recently grazing his cow in Harvard Yard, and author of "When Jesus Came to Harvard," was also at the Book Festival. In a panel called “Matters of Faith”, he spoke about religion in society today...

"AWC is so clean and safe that AWC systems are commonly deployed in the midst of picture-perfect European towns and villages," says Daniel Richter, professor of soils and forest ecology at Duke University. They are different from ordinary plants that generate electricity by burning wood. In a piece in the journal Science last March, Richter wrote that 90% of the solar energy stored in wood is transformed into heat and power by AWC technology, compared...
