They normally cost £8 (unfortunately, it’s a charge the RI makes which can’t be avoided) but it’s a terrific venue. I’ll see if I can get you two complimentary tickets – email me your postal address and let me see what I can do…. (chris@bigbang2911.com).

Be great if you can come…..

Hi Chris,

Thanks for visiting my blog. I really enjoyed the book and it has caught the interest of my friends and work colleagues too. In fact the paperback version has gone walk about!

Your new book sounds really interesting too and I shall be looking out for it when it is published.

I am really interested in coming to your new book’s launch. I would like to take you up on your offer of a ticket to the event, would it be possible for you to get two tickets?

Hi Cherie,

So glad you have enjoyed the book and thanks for your positive feedback. If any of your blog readers want to ask me any questions about the book, then fire away – i’ll reply as soon as I can. There’s also a follow up volume which I have been working on for the last 18 months and which comes out in October – it’s called What on Earth Evolved? 100 Species that Changed the World and is another way of reviewing the history of life on earth as seen through the lens of 100 different species, 50 of which evolved in the wild before man and 50 that have thrived as a result of human interference (artificial selection). Full details, if anyone is interested, at http://www.whatonearthevolevd.com. Perhaps you could come to the launch, which is on Thursday 8th October, at The Royal Insitution in Piccadilly? – let me know and I’ll get you a ticket….

All the best,

Chris Lloyd

Hi Phidelm thank you for pointing that film out to me I hadn’t heard of it before and I must take time to watch it. I do have Yann’s book and have also seen his exhibition twice when I have been abroad on my holidays.

Yes the book leaves us with three chilling questions as the clock strikes midnight…
