About this Event
Join us for a fascinating evening in the company of Steve Brusatte, one of the UK's leading paleontologists, as we celebrate the publication of his latest book The Story of Birds: An Evolutionary History of the Dinosaurs That Live Among Us.
Following on from his masterful books The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs and The Rise and Reign of the Mammals, the third in Brusatte's trilogy tackles the dinosaurs that survived the extinction: birds. Billions of birds share the planet with us. With their flamboyant plumage and joyous dawn serenades, many of them are impossible to miss. But how did they get here, how did they break the bounds of Earth and begin to fly, and how does their legacy shape our world?
Lively, majestic and full of wonder, The Story of Birds will ensure you never see birds the same way again.
