Speaking

Besides talks at international conferences and university lecturing, Andrew gets invited to speak to non-specialist audiences.

Andrew gives illustrated talks on the environment, marine biology, ocean voyages or a mix. They are informative and anecdotal. Talks that have been especially popular have featured:

• The Sindbad Voyage: a slow boat to China on a replica of a 9th century Arab sailing vessel
• Science and exploration in the Red Sea
  
• Paradise Lost: international expedition to the Chagos archipelago (British Indian Ocean Territory)
• Mega cruise ships and sustainability, Bermuda
• Double-Atlantic crossing: family cruise to the Caribbean along the ‘milk run’
• Climate change and coral reefs
• Environmental & economic consequences of the Gulf War(s)

Andrew will be happy to take bookings for talks and interviews on a range topics related to the sea, the environment.

He is especially keen to talk about his latest book, Slow-Tech: Manifesto For An Overwound World. This argues for greater robustness, to ensure smooth-running in nature, in what we do and in the things we create.
