EICC Live: Unlocking the Secrets of Time
Together with the Royal Institute of Navigation (RIN), on their 75th Anniversary Year, we invite you to join the next free public talk in the EICC Live series.
Navigation shapes our modern world. Humans have been fascinated by the possibilities of navigation since the dawn of civilisation. Today we each use and rely on positioning, navigation and timing more than most of us realise. It is everywhere, like the air we breathe. Join the RIN and EICC on a journey through time that has shaped the modern world. Speakers:
David Rooney
David is a writer and curator. His latest book, About Time: A History of Civilization in Twelve Clocks is an ambitious, wide-ranging and provocative story of how timekeeping continues to shape our modern world.
Tristan Gooley
Tristan is an author and natural navigator. Tristan set up his natural navigation school in 2008 and is the author of award-winning and internationally bestselling books, including The Natural Navigator (2010).
