YEOVIL LITERARY FESTIVAL 2023 EVENT

CHRIS PACKHAM: EARTH
Westlands Ballroom

Chris Packham needs little introduction - he's a naturalist, television presenter, bestselling writer, award-winning photographer, conservationist, campaigner and filmmaker. As a broadcaster he is a presenter of BBC’s BAFTA Award winning Springwatch, Autumnwatch and Winterwatch series. Chris will be talking about, Earth, a beautiful, full colour book that accompanies the 5 part BBC TV series telling the most important story of all, the deep history of our own planet.

With the trademark dramatic storytelling techniques of The Planets and The Universe, Chris Packham narrates the biography of the Earth, revealing the most epic moments from its history, from the first seconds of its existence to the arrival of its most incredible inhabitants, us. But humans take a back seat for this story as the Earth takes centre stage. Chris will talk about the moments where our planet’s future hung in the balance in the face of massive bombardments from space, extreme changes in climate, the collision of whole continents and more, and we’ll tell the story of how Earth’s most incredible creations – life and intelligence – are set to have the same lasting impact on Earth’s story as any meteorite or earthquake.
