Book Talk: Black Ops & Beaver Bombing with Prof. Fiona Mathews & Prof. Tim Kendall image 1

Come join Fiona Mathews & Tim Kendall, authors of the Wainwright Prize-shortlisted book Black Ops and Beaver Bombing, for a conversation about their adventures tracking down all of Britain's wild mammals. You'll hear from the frontlines of nature conservation happening on our doorstep and will be able to ask the questions on your mind. You do not need to have read the book to enjoy the discussion. In addition to this engaging conversation, Tim & Fiona will stick around to personalise & sign copies of the book - newly released in paperback - on the night. You can reserve your copy in the registration process. A few additional copies will be available on the evening. See you there! *** About Fiona & Tim Fiona Mathews is a professor of environmental biology at the University of Sussex.
