“Life on the British Isles: the last half a billion years”.
by Luke Parry

We’re excited to welcome Luke Parry, Associate Professor of Paleobiology at Oxford, to Usk for a whistle stop tour through half a billion years of life on the British Isles. From ancient seas to shifting continents, Luke brings Britain’s deep past to life — with a nod to our own Alfred Russel Wallace. 
A must for anyone who loves science, fossils, or a good story about how our islands came to be.
