In a few days I head to the UK for a "Living on Earth" tour. The first event is with Topping Books in Edinburgh (Topping & Company Booksellers of Edinburgh), Tuesday evening (17th) at the Royal Scots Club. I am going to show some rarely-seen octopus videos. Event info: toppingbooks.co.uk/events/edinbur…
Is this octopus wearing a kilt? * Venue change for my Edinburgh talk on Tuesday 17th; it's now at the bookstore, Topping & Company Booksellers of Edinburgh. Details: toppingbooks.co.uk/events/edinbur…
An edited excerpt from "Living on Earth" in the Pioneer Works zine Broadcast. About the beginnings and – especially – ends of lives. The edit (which they did) is smart, distilling a longer passage. pioneerworks.org/broadcast/livi…
Nourishing food and conversation courtesy of Paola Totaro and Peter Godfrey-Smith whose rapport with animals extends beyond the octopus. You can hear him speak about the evolution of animal consciousness The Crick this Friday at 4.30pm Tickets on Eventbrite. Free
