SUMMARY:Eloise Kane: Wilderlands – The Human History of Wild Britain
DESCRIPTION:We are very excited to host Eloise Kane to celebrate her new book Wilderlands: The Human History of Wild Britain. \nPlease join us for a discussion of the book\, followed by a Q&A and book signing. \nThe event is free but please RSVP to read@heronbooks.co.uk. Space is limited and in demand! \nAbout the book\nWhen was Britain last truly wild? And what\, if anything\, remains?\nThis is the unexpectedly human history of wild Britain. Eloise Kane unearths 12\,000 years of our changing relationship with and influence on the landscape. Through prehistory\, Roman occupation\, the Middle Ages and beyond\, we see the unfamiliar beasts of our old wild make way for species such as brown hare and fallow deer\, now romanticised as eternal symbols of the British countryside\, but introduced much later than we might think.\nPlaces free from our influence haven’t existed for a very long time. But Eloise Kane invites us to rethink our definition of the wild – not as separate from us. Seen anew as the result of millions of human lives lived\, Wilderlands demonstrates how we are integral to the ecology and biodiversity of our land\, with the power to shape its future. \nAbout the author\nEloise Kane is an archaeologist. She is a Visiting Fellow at the Royal Agricultural University\, an Associate Fellow of the Royal Historical Society\, and previously served as Honorary Treasurer of the Society for Post-Medieval Archaeology. Her research interests are in landscape\, environmental\, and animal history/archaeology – historic parks\, hunting landscapes\, country houses\, woodlands\, animal sports\, and the relationship between humans and the wild. She lives on the edge of Salisbury Plain with a small menagerie of children and beasts.

SUMMARY:Jay Griffiths: Wild Medicine with Bristol Talks
DESCRIPTION:We are very pleased to support this event organised by Bristol Talks with Jay Griffiths and Michael Malay: a revelatory and exuberant discussion about our relationship to the living world\, mischievous\, vital and wild. \nJay has written several award-winning books\, including Wild: An Elemental Journey and Pip Pip: A Sideways Look at Time. In her latest work\, How Animals Heal Us\, she explores how animals heal us as individuals with their vitality\, humour and empathy. They offer social remedies too: wolves may be teachers of ethics; bees take collective decisions and monkeys have a sense of justice. \nIn conversation with celebrated local author of Late Light\, Michael Malay\, Jay will reflect on the big questions that have always permeated her writing\, considering time and the rich wisdoms of Indigenous cultures\, and the necessity of challenging the status quo. \nDoors open at 7pm. The Folk House bar will be open and we will provide a book stall. The talk is from 7.30-8.30pm. Tickets are available from the Bristol Talks website.
