Life on Earth is changing. Humans are driving evolution in other species. Can we change with it? Can we remake the world so that all life can thrive once more? In his new book Nature’s Genuis: Evolution’s Lessons for a Changing World, Professor David Farrier (author of Footprints: In Search of Future Fossils) takes us on a profound journey into our ever-changing natural world, and what we can learn from nature about responding creatively to the destruction we’re causing to the planet.

The event includes a tour of The Waste House, a building constructed using over 85% waste material and a living laboratory for ecological architectural design.

5pm - 5.45pm tours of the Waste House with Duncan Baker-Brown & Dr. Nick Gant - please assemble in the Reception Area of the School of Arts & Media University of Brighton at 5pm
