A Podcast Event

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.

And now, in Vietnamese

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

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.
