Greg Mortenson - "Stones Into Schools"

December 10, 2009 - 7:00pm

Warwick's is very proud to host a special evening with Greg Mortenson (author of the runaway bestseller, Three Cups of Tea), on Thursday, December 10 at 7:00pm at The Unity Center (8999 Activity Rd, San Diego). Mr. Mortenson will be discussing and signing his new book, the follow up to Three Cups of Tea, Stones Into Schools: Promoting Peace with Books, Not Bombs in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Please note: This is a ticketed offsite event. With the purchase of Stones Into Schools from Warwick's, you will receive two tickets to our event at the Unity Center with Greg Mortenson. Additional, non-book tickets are available at $15 per person. Tickets are only available through Warwick's - the Unity Center will not be offering tickets. Also, a limited number of VIP reception tickets are also available. These $100 tickets include a private reception with Greg Mortenson from 6:00-6:45pm, hors d'oeuvres and wine, a signed copy of Stones Into Schools, prefered seating at the 7pm event, and a donation to Mortenson's charity, Central Asia Institute. Please contact our book department at info@warwicks.com or 858-454-0347 for more information.

Website orders:  The books and $15 tickets are available for purchase on warwicks.com - please do not select a shipping option if you use the website, as the books will not be available for the signing if shipped. Website purchased books and tickets will be available at Warwick's once the book is released December 1. In order to ensure that your books and tickets are available for pick up - either at Warwick's or at the will call for the event - please select the "credit card" or "house charge" payment option and complete your purchase online. VIP tickets are only available in-store. For questions about online ordering, please email us at orders@warwicks.com


In this dramatic first-person narrative, Greg Mortenson picks up where Three Cups of Tea left off in 2003, recounting his relentless, ongoing efforts to establish schools for girls in Afghanistan; his extensive work in Azad Kashmir and Pakistan after a massive earthquake hit the region in 2005; and the unique ways he has built relationships with Islamic clerics, militia commanders, and tribal leaders even as he was dodging shootouts with feuding Afghan warlords and surviving an eight-day armed abduction by the Taliban. He shares for the first time his broader vision to promote peace through education and literacy, as well as touching on military matters, Islam, and women - all woven together with the many rich personal stories of the people who have been involved in this remarkable two-decade humanitarian effort.

Since the 2006 publication of Three Cups of Tea, Mortenson has traveled across the U.S. and the world to share his vision with hundreds of thousands of people. He has met with heads of state, top military officials, and leading politicians who all seek his advice and insight. The continued phenomenal success of Three Cups of Tea proves that there is an eager and committed audience for Mortenson’s work and message.

The one-on-one service that has made Warwick’s a longstanding favorite in La Jolla is not limited to our two-legged customers. We extend that same courtesy to our furry, four-legged friends as well.Bring your dogs into the store with you and they will receive a friendly greeting, a little treat, and a welcome attitude. And if you want your dog featured as a Darling Dog of Warwick’s, ask a bookseller to take a photo the next time you are in the store.
