The Royal Society Winton Prize for Science Books celebrates outstanding popular science books from around the world. Come and hear from the award-winning author of 2015.
Come and hear from Gaia Vince - journalist, broadcaster and winning author with her book ‘Adventures in the Anthropocene: A Journey to the Heart of the Planet We Made’.
In just a few decades, we humans have altered our world beyond anything it has experienced in its 4.5 billion-year history – we have become a force on a par with earth-shattering asteroids and planet-cloaking volcanoes. As a result, our planet is said to be crossing a geological boundary – from the Holocene into the Anthropocene, or Age of Man.
Gaia Vince decided to travel the world at the start of this new age to explore what all these changes really mean, especially for the people living on the frontline. Her book, and this lecture, looks at how we are reshaping our living planet and explores how we might engineer Earth for our future.
As a journalist and broadcaster specialising in science and the environment, Gaia has been the front editor of the journal Nature Climate Change, the news editor of Nature and online editor of New Scientist. Her work has appeared in the Guardian, The Times, Science, Scientific American, Australian Geographic and the Australian.
