科学的視点と歴史的視点から地球に起こったことを「物語」にした『137億年の物語 宇宙が始まってから今日までの全歴史（原題：What on earth happened?）』（文藝春秋）を著した英国人科学ジャーナリストで、起業家でもあるクリストファー・ロイド氏が慶應義塾大学三田キャンパスで塾生に向けて講演を行ないます。
Christopher Lloyd, author of best-selling world history book */What on Earth Happened?/* will present a 60 minute lecture on the making of his book and his pioneering techniques for communicating the deep chronology of the story of science and history over billions of years to an everyday audience. During his journey he will discuss and demonstrate a wide range of diverse communication strategies for conveying a long chronological perspective including the lost art of rhetoric and memory from ancient Greece, the use of medieval visual timelines and modern insights into hard-wired evolutionary learning pathways taken from the latest research in neuroscience.

Speaker's profile 講演者プロフィール |
Christopher graduated with a double first in history from Cambridge in 1990 and went on to become the Technology Editor for The Sunday Times. He left in 2000 to become CEO of Immersive Education in Oxford. He grew the company from its R&D phase with zero revenue to sales of in excess of ₤3 million. In 2006 he left Immersive Education to spend time travelling around Europe with his wife and two children, both of whom are home-educated. The time spent on the road travelling around Europe inspired him to come up with the concept of What on Earth Happened? "What on Earth Happened? The Complete Story of Planet, Life and People from the Big Bang to the Present Day" was the first in a series of What on Earth? books published by Bloomsbury in the UK in 2008. He established What on Earth Publishing Ltd in Spring 2010. He divides his time between lecturing, writing and running the new business. |
