Some time ago JC Lattes published the French-language version of A (Very) Short History of Life on Earth. That was then. It's now been joined by this mighty mini version. Just the same as the full size version.
Only smaller.
Now you can carry the whole of the history of life in your pocket.
As previously discussed I always have a great time as a guest on The Ancients, a podcast fromHistory Hit hosted by Tristan Hughes. We have always recorded each episode remotely ... until now. A few days ago I visited the studio in person so Tristan and I could explore the Cambrian Explosion for a forthcoming edition of the show. Safe to say that the Cambrian was duly exploded. Watch this space, as they say.
The translation in Vietnamese makes 26 editions in languages other than English, all thanks to the wonderful team at Pan Mac Rights who have secured 26 translated editions - at least, the official ones. There is a pirated edition in Bengali. For more about translation rights click here.
I always have a great time when Tristan Hughes invites me on to The Ancients, the podcast he hosts for History Hit. Here is a recent excerpt for an episode we did about the Age of Dinosaurs. You cn listen to the full episode here.
If you were still thinking of coming along to the official launch of The Wonder of Life on Earth at the Norwich Science Festival on Wednesday (18 February) - I'm sorry, but you can't. I'm pleased and amazed to say that it's sold out. Still lots of other things to see and do, though, and the book will be available at the Festival Bookshop.
The Wonder of Life on Earth has been spotted in the wild by Mrs H. F. of Edgefield, Norfolk, at the Norfolk Childrens' Book Centre.
