Charles Cockell – Edinburgh International Book Festival

AWESOME SCIENCE

What makes life the way it is? For Britain’s leading astrobiologist Charles S Cockell, the answer is in The Equations of Life, his groundbreaking account of the nature of evolution. For Caspar Henderson life is a marvel, and in A New Map of Wonders he charts an awe-inspiring journey through the origins of the universe, the human body and the natural world. The pair share their lust for life and the science behind it. Chaired by Stuart Kelly.
