Professor Peter Burns is delighted to announce that Mark Lynas will be
joining us in the forthcoming Tourism and Climate Change Conference at the
University of Brighton, as one of the keynote speakers.
Mark is freelance writer working full-time on Climate Change and is author
of three books on the subject ˆ 'High Tide: News from a warming world‚
(2004), 'Carbon Calculator‚ (2007) and 'Six Degrees: Our future on a hotter
planet‚ (2007).
High Tide was long-listed for the Samuel Johnson Award for Non-Fiction, and
short-listed for the Guardian First Book Award. It became a bestseller in
Sweden. Six Degrees was long-listed for the Orwell Prize in 2008, and won
the prestigious Royal Society Prize for Science Books in the same year.
Six Degrees is published in the US by National Geographic, which has also
made a television documentary based on the book and broadcast on the
National Geographic channel internationally. Mark was selected as a National
Geographic 'Emerging Explorer‚ in 2006, and was placed at no.7 in the
Independent‚s Green List 2007. He writes for various newspapers and
magazines, recently including the Guardian and the Independent, and is a
frequent contributor to the New Statesman.
With Mark Lynas on board, the conference promises to engender a very lively
discussion.
