Rebecca Stott’s latest book is a masterful history of a profoundly dangerous idea. Combining a historian’s knowledge with a novelist’s imagination, Rebecca skilfully traces the extraordinary collective daring of men who risked everything to speculate on nature’s ways.
In this illustrated launch event, Rebecca will reveal for the first time the detective work involved in finding the first evolutionists for her epic two thousand year chronicle.
Introduced by Michael Fishwick, publishing director at Bloomsbury.
