There will be a signing after the event.About Nature's Genius:For nearly four billion years, life on Earth has found new ways to adapt, reproduce and thrive, taking on new forms to meet the environment of the moment. Human impact on the planet, and the potentially devastating threat of climate change, have stressed that adaptability as never before. Yet life still finds a way. Animals, plants and insects rise to the challenge and are still adapting, reproducing and thriving, even in our rapidly transforming environment. In their example we may just find ways that we too can adapt, ways to stop the destruction we’re causing to the planet.In Nature’s Genius David Farrier takes us on a profound journey into this ever-changing natural world. What we discover could transform us.
