ROMAN KRZNARIC and TIM COULSON – on learning about ourselves and our future, from our past.
Do you ever find yourself wondering how we came to exist? Or how humans came to call planet Earth home? And do you wonder what we can learn from human history and whether it’s a good idea to look backwards in order to move forwards?
Writer, broadcaster, social philosopher, ecological campaigner, and serious real tennis player, whose books have been published in more than twenty-five languages, Roman Krznaric is author of newly-published History for Tomorrow, which provides fascinating insights and inspiration from the last 1000 years of world history that could help us confront the most pressing concerns of the twenty-first century.
Professor of Zoology at the University of Oxford, Tim Coulson is the author of A Universal History of Us, which answers innumerable questions about who we are, where we came from, and whether the existence of the human race was inevitable or if, in the end, we are all just incredibly lucky to be here.
