This was a very special event for us as it was the inaugural talk in the new author event space at our Oxford shop - the Benjamin Henry Room, named after our founder Benjamin Henry Blackwell.

The talk is a fascinating exchange on the beauty of science, beautifully illustrated in Richard's book, Flights of Fancy. Jackie, a fantastic science author in her own right, was once a student of Richard's. An interesting, fun and intimate conversation that was perfect for the launch of our new room. Many thanks to both...

Happy watching. Happy reading! 📚
