In Conversation: Seven Centuries of Climate Change in Print

Jun 10, 2022 | Science & Technology, Videos

On 7th June 2022, we held a unique panel event with rare book experts and special guests at our Mayfair bookshop, exploring the history of climate change and environmentalism. Inspired by One Hundred Seconds to Midnight, a landmark collection of books, manuscripts, and ephemera curated by Peter Harrington, the discussion considers the past, present, and future of the climate crisis as illustrated through science, literature, and art.

Our panel was made up of Peter Harrington specialists Emma Walshe and Adam Douglas, and guests Dan Bradbury, Director of Brand and Communications at the World Land Trust, and New Scientist environmental reporter Fred Pearce.
