An Evening with Jonn Elledge - Edinburgh West End

For over 10,000 years, the human race has been busy altering our environment and embracing 'progress', evolving seamlessly from hunter gatherers to the modern urban sophisticates we see ourselves as today.
We are delighted to be joined by the bestselling author of A History of the World in 47 Borders, Jonn Elledge, on Monday 14th September, at 7pm, as he delves into the inventions and innovations that contributed to our modern urbanised world in his latest endlessly fascinating and engagingly written volume, 31 Inventions that Built Our World.
John, will be joined by acclaimed journalist and author, Gabriella Bennett, as they invites us to join them on a fascinating and often surprising tour of the ideas and technologies that made modernity possible. From elevators to electric lighting, parks to pedestrian crossings, he guides us through the history of civilisation itself.
