[body] => [<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Futurist Rebecca Costa, Author of <em>The Watchman’s Rattle</em>,</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Joins Speakers of the Prestigious Leigh Bureau </strong></p>
<p>Rebecca Costa, a prominent evolutionary thinker and futurist, is now represented by the Leigh Bureau, a premium speakers bureau serving business and sophisticated cultural audiences worldwide. Other Leigh Bureau speakers include Malcolm Gladwell, Paul Krugman, Tony Hsieh, Esther Dyson, Alvin Toffler, and Nassim Taleb.</p>
<p>Leigh Bureau President Wesley Neff said, “We’re pleased to have the opportunity to work with Rebecca Costa. As a futurist and trend analyst, she is imaginative, incisive, and boldly innovative in her thinking. Her insights illuminate and spark controversy while speaking to a wide range of business and social interests. We are looking forward to a long-term relationship.”</p>
<p>A sought-after speaker whose unique expertise is to spot and explain emerging developments in relationship to human evolution, global markets, and the latest technologies, Costa is a provocative new voice in the mold of Malcolm Gladwell, Thomas Friedman, and Jared Diamond.

Wilson, will be published in October 2010 as a lead title by Vanguard Press, a member of the Perseus Books Group.

Ms. Costa urges us to do so by employing the better instruments of our genetic nature.”</p>
<p>“Rebecca Costa is known for her keen ability to think ahead of the curve and bring together seemingly disparate yet inter-related fields in a powerful narrative,” said David Steinberger, CEO of the Perseus Book Group.</p>
<p>With a proven track record of introducing new concepts and technologies, Costa is a former CEO and founder of Silicon Valley start-up, Dazai Advertising, Inc., (sold to J.
