Heffers Presents: Bird Brain - An Exploration of Avian IntelligenceThursday, September 29th at 18:30 - 20:00Join us at Heffers bookshop on 29th September for an evening with Dr Nathan Emery, who will be talking about his new book Bird Brain: An Exploration of Avian Intelligence. An absorbing study of how birds think, revealing how science is exploding the myth of our feathered friends being 'bird brained', and how recent discoveries may call for us to re-evaluate how we identify and classify intelligence in other animals. Bird Brain will start by looking at the structures and functions of the avian brain, and move on to examine different types of intelligence by profiling the extraordinary behaviours of a broad range of the species, studying the masterminds of the avian world, and examining what types of behaviour can be interpreted as 'intelligence' as we would recognize it. Bird Brain will not only look at the well-studied species such as New Caledonian crows and parrots, but also cast a broader eye over the behaviour of a wide range of species from around the world.
BLACKWELL'S OXFORD PRESENTS: Michael Bhaskar and Scott Berinato Are We Living in a Society Defined By Information OverloadThursday, September 29th at 19:00 - 20:00This event has been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. From being able to instantly access live news stories as they happen to analysing efficiency in the workplace with in-depth visual diagrams, our knowledge of the world around us and the decisions we make are based on how we access, process and implement data and information. Should we be worried about how this is affecting our daily lives or can we use data to create new opportunities and positive outcomes? Join us as authors Michael Bhaskar and Scott Berinato discuss whether we have too much information, what we can do about it and how it can be turned into something workable and positive. Michael Bhaskar is the author of 'Curation: The Power of Selection in a World of Excess' focusing on how curation can answer the question of how we make sense of a culture in which problems are often about having too much, and shows how we keep growing in a world of excess. It looks at why curation happened, what it means and what might happen next to this once little used concept. Scott Berinato is the author of 'Good Charts: The HBR Guide to Making Smarter, More Persuasive Data Visualizations', an essential guide to how visualization works and how to use this new language to impress and persuade, turning plain, uninspiring charts that merely present information into smart, effective visualizations that powerfully convey ideas. Tickets for this event cost £5. For more information or to purchase a ticket, please visit the customer service department in the Norrington Room or call 01865 333623.

Heffers Presents: Ancient Worlds - An Evening with Michael ScottThursday, October 6th at 18:30 - 20:00Join us at Heffers on Thursday 6th October for an evening with Michael Scott, who will be talking about his latest book Ancient Worlds: An Epic History of East and West. Acclaimed historian and TV presenter Michael Scott guides us through an epic story spanning ten centuries to create a bold new reading of the classical era for our globalised world. Scott challenges our traditionally western-focused perception of the past, connecting Greco-Roman civilisation to the great rulers and empires that swept across Central Asia to India and China - resulting in a truly global vision of ancient history. With stunning range and richness Ancient Worlds illustrates how the great powers and characters of antiquity shared ambitions and crises, ways of thinking and forms of governing: connections that only grew stronger over the centuries as political systems evolved, mighty armies clashed, universal religions were born and our modern world was foreshadowed. Michael's talk will be followed by a book signing.

SOLD OUT BLACKWELL'S OXFORD IN PARTNERSHIP WITH SCIENCE OXFORD AND OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS PRESENT: Richard Dawkins in conversation with Lord John KrebsFriday, October 7th at 19:00 - 20:15In celebration of 40 years of writing and his own 75th birthday, Richard joins Lord John Krebs to reflect on his life, his books and the relevance of The Selfish Gene today. Richard Dawkins published what would become his most iconic work – The Selfish Gene – 40 years ago. It met with controversy in some quarters as well as wide acclaim in 1976. His books have gone on to sell over 8 million copies worldwide and been translated into 25 languages. In April 2016, The Selfish Gene was listed as number 10 on The Guardian's list of the 100 best nonfiction books. In the past forty years our understanding of genetics has evolved considerably, but Dawkins' ground-breaking theory is still one of the most talked-about and debated concepts in evolutionary biology. Richard Dawkins is an evolutionary biologist, well-known atheist and best-selling author of 13 books. He studied zoology at the University of Oxford, staying on to complete his Masters and PhD, before spending a few years in America. Returning to Oxford in 1970 as a lecturer, he is now Emeritus Professor. He has received a multitude of awards both for his writing and his scientific work, including being the first Charles Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science at the University of Oxford. He is regarded by many as both the world's most influential science writer and most popular public intellectual. Lord Krebs is a zoologist and son of the biochemist, Hans Krebs – best known for the discovery of the citric acid cycle otherwise known as the Krebs Cycle. He studied at the University of Oxford and (since 1988) has held a Royal Society Research Professorship in the Department of Zoology. In 1999 he was knighted for services to behavioural ecology and in 2007 became a non-party political life peer in the House of Lords. Krebs's extraordinary own career has been both productive and influential. His speciality is ornithology. His publications include more than 130 refereed papers, 5 books, and 130 book chapters, reviews, or popular pieces. They have introduced new methods to the science of ornithology and, more recently, techniques from neurobiology and experimental psychology. He has been chairman of the Food Standards Agency and lead numerous government reviews into science and health policy. Tickets may be purchased on Eventbrite here. This event will be held in the Sheldonian Theatre.

Now he's staging a Tempest like no other: not only will it boost his reputation, it will heal emotional wounds. Or that was the plan. Instead, after an act of unforeseen treachery, Felix is living in exile in a backwoods hovel, haunted by memories of his beloved lost daughter, Miranda. And also brewing revenge. After twelve years, revenge finally arrives in the shape of a theatre course at a nearby prison. Here, Felix and his inmate actors will put on his Tempest and snare the traitors who destroyed him. It's magic! But will it remake Felix as his enemies fall?

An Evening with Anthony HorowitzDate: Tuesday 11th October
Time: 7pm
Venue: The Caves, 8-10, Niddry Street South, Edinburgh, EH1 1NS
Blackwell's Bookshop are delighted to welcome back best-selling author Anthony Horowitz to Edinburgh! Join us as he chats about his new novel, Magpie Murders, a deliciously dark take on the vintage crime novel, brought bang- up-to-date with a fiendish modern twist.
When editor Susan Ryeland is given the tattered manuscript of Alan Conway's latest novel, she has little idea it will change her life. She's worked with the revered crime writer for years and his detective, Atticus Pund, is renowned for solving crimes in the sleepy English villages of the 1950s. As Susan knows only too well, vintage crime sells handsomely. It's just a shame that it means dealing with an author like Alan Conway...But Conway's latest tale of murder at Pye Hall is not quite what it seems. Yes, there are dead bodies and a host of intriguing suspects, but hidden in the pages of the manuscript there lies another story: a tale written between the very words on the page, telling of real-life jealousy, greed, ruthless ambition and murder.
Anthony Horowitz is one of the UK's most prolific and successful writers and may have committed more (fictional) murders than any other living author. Anthony was commissioned by the Conan Doyle Estate and Orion Books to write two new Sherlock Holmes novels. The House of Silk was published in November 2011 followed by its sequel Moriarty. Most recently he was commissioned by the Ian Fleming Estate to write the James Bond novel Trigger Mortis, published in September 2015. His bestselling Alex Rider series for children has sold more than 19 million copies worldwide. As a TV screenwriter he created both Midsomer Murders and the BAFTA-winning Foyle's War; other TV work includes Poirot and the widely acclaimed mini-series Collision and Injustice.
Duration: approx 60 minutes, followed by a signing

Heffers Presents: The Pursuit of Power with Richard J EvansWednesday, October 12th at 18:30 - 20:00At 6.30pm on 12th October, join Richard J Evans at Heffers as he talks about his new book, The Pursuit of Power: Europe 1815-1914. 'The Pursuit of Power' draws on a lifetime of thinking about nineteenth-century Europe to create an extraordinarily rich, surprising and entertaining panorama of a continent undergoing drastic change. The aim of the book is to reignite the sense of wonder that permeated this remarkable era, as rulers and ruled navigated overwhelming cultural, political and technological changes. It was a time where what was seen as modern with amazing speed appeared old-fashioned, where huge cities sprang up in a generation, new European countries were created and where, for the first time, humans could communicate almost instantly over thousands of miles. Richard Evans gives full coverage to the revolutions, empire-building and wars that marked the nineteenth century, but the book is about so much more, whether it is illness, serfdom, religion or philosophy. 'The Pursuit of Power' is a book by a historian at the height of his powers and an essential book for anyone trying to understand Europe, then or now.

Sophie Hannah: Closed CasketDate: Thursday 13th October
Time: 6:30pm
Venue: Blackwell's Bookshop, 53-62 South Bridge, Edinburgh, EH1 1YS
Blackwell's Bookshop is delighted to welcome crime writer Sophie Hannah to Edinburgh to celebrate the publication of Closed Casket, her new Hercule Poirot mystery.
About the Book
Hercule Poirot returns in another brilliant murder mystery that can only be solved by the eponymous Belgian detective and his 'little grey cells'.
'What I intend to say to you will come as a shock ...' Lady Athelinda Playford has planned a house party at her mansion in Clonakilty, County Cork, but it is no ordinary gathering. As guests arrive, Lady Playford summons her lawyer to make an urgent change to her will - one she intends to announce at dinner that night. She has decided to cut off her two children without a penny and leave her fortune to someone who has only weeks to live ...Among Lady Playford's guests are two men she has never met - the famous Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot, and Inspector Edward Catchpool of Scotland Yard. Neither knows why he has been invited ...until Poirot starts to wonder if Lady Playford expects a murderer to strike. But why does she seem so determined to provoke, in the presence of a possible killer? When the crime is committed in spite of Poirot's best efforts to stop it, and the victim is not who he expected it to be, will he be able to find the culprit and solve the mystery?
Following the phenomenal global success of The Monogram Murders, which was published to critical acclaim following a co-ordinated international launch in September 2014, international best-selling crime writer Sophie Hannah has been commissioned by Agatha Christie Limited to pen a second fully-authorised Poirot novel. The new book marks the centenary of the creation of Christie's world-famous detective Hercule Poirot, introduced in her first book The Mysterious Affair at Styles.
About the Author
Sophie Hannah is an internationally bestselling writer of psychological crime fiction, published in 27 countries. In 2013, her novel The Carrier won the Crime Thriller of the Year Award at the Specsavers National Book Awards. Sophie has also published five collections of poetry. Her fifth, Pessimism for Beginners, was shortlisted for the 2007 T S Eliot Award. Sophie lives with her husband and children in Cambridge, where she is a Fellow Commoner at Lucy Cavendish College.

Time: 6.00pm
Venue: Blackwell's Bookshop, 53-62 South Bridge, Edinburgh
Who says reading is a solitary pursuit? Not us! Come and join the Blackwell's Book Group for lively, friendly book chatter. No previous experience required! We meet monthly to discuss a wide range of books — fiction and non-fiction, classic and contemporary, prizewinners and cult heroes—in short, whatever you fancy!
We are currently reading href="http://bookshop.blackwell.co.uk/jsp/id/The_Bridge_Over_the_Drina/9781860460586" target="_blank">The Bridge over the Drina by Ivo Andric. What is the book about?
In the small Bosnian town of Visegrad the stone bridge of the novel's title, built in the sixteenth century on the instruction of a grand vezir, bears witness to three centuries of conflict. Visegrad has long been a bone of contention between the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian Empires, but the bridge survives unscathed until 1914, when the collision of forces in the Balkans triggers the outbreak of World War I. The bridge spans generations, nationalities and creeds, silent testament to the lives played out on it. Radisav, a workman, tried to hinder its construction and is impaled alive on its highest point; beautiful Fata leaps from its parapet to escape an arranged marriage; Milan, inveterate gamble, risks all in one last game on it. With humour and compassion, Andric chronicles the lives of Catholics, Moselms and Orthodox Christians unable to reconcile their disparate loyalties.

BLACKWELL'S EDINBURGH PRESENTS...Friday, October 21st at 18:30 - 20:00
Paula Varjack and Bram E. GiebenDate: Friday 21st October
Time: 6:30pm
Venue: Blackwell's Bookshop, 53-62 South Bridge, Edinburgh, EH1 1YS
Featuring performances and readings by Paula Varjack & Bram E. Gieben from the books Letters I Never Sent to You & Ex Nihlo by Bram E. Gieben.
London based Paula Varjack & Glasgow based Bram E. Gieben are artists who both share a deep frustration with the question "Where are you from?" (their answers being anything but straight forward) . Their writing is primarily for performance, with varied influences and a love of performing with music. Bram was the first reader and editor of Letters I Never Sent To You, so was a natural choice to support the launch. Bram is a recovering nihilist, while Paula aspires to be an optimist. Somehow they still get on.
Letters I Never Sent to You is a collection of impressions and encounters; of people briefly met and of places passed through and lived in. It explores the sometimes slippery nature of the word "home", and how love and heartbreak can be felt just as strongly for a place as for a person. It explores connection and disconnection with places, people and the spaces in which we encounter them. It tells stories of a life split between places, identities, languages, nationalities, sexualities and of running away and running into yourself, of love lost and found again.
Paula Varjack is a writer, filmmaker and theatre maker. Her work explores identity, the unsaid, and making the invisible visible. She makes work across disciplines; performance, theatre, documentary and spoken word. In addition to performing, she facilitates workshops with a wide range of age groups, using writing prompts and drama games to unblock creativity. Born in Washington D.C. to a Ghanaian mother and a British father, out of they many places she has lived she considers east London to be "home".
Bram E. Gieben, also known as Texture, is a writer, performer and musician based in Glasgow, Scotland. He is a member of spoken word trio Chemical Poets and live literature collective Writers Bloc, and a co-founder of the Black Lantern Music collective and Weaponizer Press. His writing has previously been published by io9, The Quietus, Mishka NYC, Timid Pirate Press, Red Squirrel and The Skinny.

When she discovers Nicholas Sayre lying unconscious, she uses her powers to save him. But the attack has left Nicholas tainted with Free Magic, so together they embark on a dangerous journey to seek help at Lirael's childhood home, the Clayr's Glacier. Ferin, a young woman from the distant North, is travelling to meet them, bearing a warning from Lirael's long-dead mother about the Witch With No Face. But who is the Witch, and what is she planning?
Lirael must save the Old Kingdom from this great danger – and it must be forestalled not only in the living world but also in the cold, remorseless river of Death.

Time: 6:30pm
Venue: Blackwell's Bookshop, 53-62 South Bridge, Edinburgh, EH1 1YS
Join Jim Crumley, one of Scotland's finest nature writers, on a journey through autumn!
About the Book
In autumn nature stages some of its most enchantingly beautiful displays; yet it's also a period for reflection, melancholy even, as the days shorten and winter's chill approaches.
In The Nature of Autumn Jim Crumley tells the story of how unfolding autumn affects the wildlife and landscapes of his beloved countryside from September to November. Along the way, Jim experiences the deer rut, finds phenomenal redwood trees in the most unexpected of places, and contemplates climate change, the death of his father, and his own love of nature; thus painting an intimate - and deeply personal - portrait of a moody and majestic British autumn..
About the Author
Jim Crumley is a nature writer, journalist and poet with over 25 books to his name, mostly on the landscape and wildlife of Scotland. As a highly knowledgeable and inspiring wildlife expert, he is in high demand as a contributor for TV and radio, as well as publications such as the Scotsman and BBC Wildlife.

Louise Gray: The Ethical CarnivoreThursday, October 27th at 18:30 - 20:00Date: Thursday 27th October
Time: 6:30pm
Venue: Blackwell's Bookshop, 53-62 South Bridge, Edinburgh, EH1 1YS
Join us to celebrate the publication of The Ethical Carnivore, a book about one woman's quest to find out what it really means to kill and eat animals.
About the Book
Celebrity chefs, from Jamie Oliver to Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, all dictate we should know exactly where our meat comes from. So what if you took this modern day maxim to its logical conclusion? What if you only ate animals you killed yourself?
Fed up of friends claiming to care about the provenance of their food, Louise Gray decides to follow the argument to its logical extreme. Starting small, Louise shucks oysters and catches fish. Gradually she gets to know countrymen and women who teach her how to shoot pigeons and rabbits. As she begins to reconnect with nature and her own upbringing in the countryside, Louise starts to question modern attitudes to the meat we eat. How did we end up eating so much meat with no idea how animals are raised and killed on our behalves? Louise begins to look into how our meat is processed, including the beef in McDonald's burgers, cheap chicken, bacon and farmed fish. She researches halal slaughter and visits abattoirs to ask whether modern technology can make eating meat more humane. She goes on a pheasant shoot and onto a grouse moor and contemplates whether there is still a place for game shooting in modern Britain. And she delves into alternative food culture in the UK, sourcing roadkill and cooking herself a lovely bit of squirrel stir-fry.
Louise's writing about nature, food and the environment is liberally dashed with humour and she gets to the heart of modern anxieties about where our meat comes from, asking the most important question of all: is it possible to be an ethical carnivore?
About the Author
Louise Gray is former Environment Correspondent at The Daily Telegraph, where she covered annual UN talks on climate change, travelled to Paraguay to investigate GM crops and got more than one scoop on recycling. Since leaving the newspaper at the end of 2013 she has written freelance for The Sunday Times, Guardian, Country Life and Spectator, and has also appeared on BBC Radio 4 and LBC.

Tuesday 8th November 18:30-20:00 Philosopher's Take on the World Should men be allowed to discuss abortion? Are pets property? Is it ethical to use data from Nazi medical experiments? Would you hand over a decision to machines? Can you be gay by choice? Do we own our bodies?

Saturday 12th November 10:30-11:30 What's Philosophy got to do with… Equality 47,571 'racist incidents' were recorded by British police in 2014; 70% of people in national minimum wage jobs are women; and unlike the rest of the population the poorest tenth have not seen their average incomes rise in a decade. Inequality is a reality, but what, is anything, can philosophy do to help make it a thing of the past? Saturday 12th November 11:45-12:45 What's Philosophy got to do with… Creating a Masterpiece What's philosophy got to do with a Rembrandt, a Man Booker Prize Winner or a Stanley Kubrick film? Does good philosophy help or hinder creative brilliance? An artist and a literary critic join our philosophers for this discussion. Saturday 12th November 13:30-14:45 What's Philosophy got to do with… Being Good Can humans be 'good'? If so, what's the secret to 'good' living? This is THE question at the basis of all ethics, yet it is one that both philosophers and ethicists often avoid facing straight on. Stephen Law, John Harris and James Garvey debate the ways in which philosophy can show us 'how to be good' (or perhaps, more accurately, how to try to be good) – as well as showing the ways in which it is pointless or self-defeating to try. Saturday 12th November 15:00-16:00 What's Philosophy got to do with… Science "How does the universe behave? What is the nature of reality? Where did all this come from? Did the universe need a creator? Most of us do not spend most of our time worrying about these questions, but almost all of us worry about them some of the time. Traditionally these are questions for philosophy, but philosophy is dead."– Stephen Hawking, The Grand Design Sparks and smarts fly as our philosophers are confronted with the claim that science has rendered philosophy obsolete.

From Blackadder to Time Team to The Worst Jobs in History, Sir Tony's career has been varied and brought delight to many people, young and old. To many he will always be Baldrick, turnip-fancier and as cunning as a fox who's just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University, but his comic talents belie his serious commitment to charity work Packed full of incident and insight, No Cunning Plan is a funny, self-deprecating and always entertaining read.

BLACKWELL'S OXFORD AND OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS PRESENT Undead Shakespeare: The Writer Who Can't be KilledWe are delighted to host the launch of Oxford University Press' flagship publication this year, The New Oxford Shakespeare. This event will consist of a panel discussion with the general editors of The New Oxford Shakespeare, chaired by Sir Stanley Wells, Honorary President of The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. The editors are Gary Taylor, Terri Bourus, Gabriel Egan, and John Jowett. From 1592 ('upstart crow') to 2014 ('Shakespeare sucks'), many influential writers and critics have attacked Shakespeare's work, from many different perspectives. Why has Shakespeare survived all these criticisms? But perhaps that is the wrong question. Is it possible that Shakespeare's unique status depends on criticism? And that the instabilities of text, authorship and interpretation secure the stability of his reputation? This event will be held in the Oxford Martin School. Tickets for this event cost £5. For more information or to purchase a ticket, please visit the customer service department in the Norrington Room or call 01865 333623.
Heffers Presents: 'Einstein's Greatest Mistake: The Life of a Flawed Genius' with David BodanisTuesday, November 29th at 18:30 - 20:00On 29th November at 6.30pm, join bestselling author of E=MC2 David Bodanis as he talks about his new book, Einstein's Greatest Mistake: The Life of a Flawed Genius. Widely considered the greatest genius of all time, Albert Einstein revolutionised our understanding of the cosmos with his general theory of relativity and helped to lead us into the atomic age. Yet in the final decades of his life he was also ignored by most working scientists, his ideas opposed by even his closest friends. David Bodanis traces the arc of Einstein's intellectual development across his professional and personal life, showing how Einstein's confidence in his own powers of intuition proved to be both his greatest strength and his ultimate undoing. He was a fallible genius. An intimate and enlightening biography of the celebrated physicist, Einstein's Greatest Mistake reveals how much we owe Einstein today - and how much more he might have achieved if not for his all-too-human flaws. Einstein's Greatest Mistake will be available to purchase at the event and David will be signing copies after the talk.

3. Think anybody doesn't know exactly where Gov. Christie stands?
4. Remember, he may be the Governor but the Legislature is dominated by the EvilParty™.
5. How can we get him to oversee spine and testosterone implants for the rest of our Governors.
Did I mention, wow.
And the most powerful part of this clip is that he's repeating it every day on every subject.
OK, one day later and in case anybody can't figure out the first video Governor Christie clarifies his position.

Ms. Me Too: Dwight Howard's Newest Baby Mama Kept KimYe From Birthing Seed In Bougie VIP Maternity Ward!
Kim probably pitched a damn fit…
Dwight Howard's Baby Mother Takes VIP Maternity Suite That Kim Kardashian Wanted To Have Her Baby In
According to TMZ reports:
When Kim Kardashian first arrived to Cedars Sinai to deliver her baby, she didn't get the fancy celebrity suite she had hoped for 'cause they were all in use … and one of the VIP occupants was Dwight Howard's newest baby mama, TMZ has learned.
Sources connected to the births tell us … before Kim went into labor, she had made arrangements to stay in one of the fancy suites at the L.A. hospital. But the baby came 5 weeks early, and the fancy suites were all booked. So Kim was placed in another unit.
But while Kim was laid out in bed, Kanye roamed the maternity ward … and bumped into NBA superstar Dwight Howard, whose lady was giving birth to his child.
FYI — Dwight's a seasoned vet when it comes to the maternity ward … he's reportedly fathered 3 other kids (with 3 different women).
We're told Kanye and Dwight got along great … with Yeezy giving Howard a preview of his new album "Yeezus."
As for Kim … we're told she's finally out of the hospital — and mother and the baby are shacked up in a private location.
Before it's all said and done we're willing to bet that Dwight Howard will end up with enough kids to have an entire basketball team. Water boys and all.
