 h Prof. Helen Czerski\, author of 'Blue Machine: How the Ocean Shapes Our 
 World'
LOCATION:Cambridge University: Churchill College 
DESCRIPTION:Join us to hear from Churchill College alumna and Honorary Fel
 low Prof. Helen Czerski\, a physicist\, writer and broadcaster\, in conver
 sation with the Master of Churchill College\, Prof. Sharon Peacock\, as th
 ey discuss Helen’s award?winning book Blue Machine: How the Ocean Shapes
  Our World. Earth has a story that is rarely told. Not the fish or the dol
 phins\, but the ocean itself: a single vast engine\, powered by sunlight\,
  that shapes our climate\, our weather\, and the whole of human history. I
 n Blue Machine: How the Ocean Shapes Our World\, Helen Czerski dives deep 
 into this hidden system\, tracing the powerful currents\, invisible ocean 
 walls and underwater waterfalls that drive life on our planet. From the an
 cient Polynesians who navigated the Pacific by reading the waves\, to the 
 Greenland shark living silently in the deep for hundreds of years\, she re
 veals the thrilling extent to which all life\, including our own\, exists 
 at the mercy of this great engine. Timely\, elegant and passionately argue
 d\, Blue Machine offers a fresh perspective on what it means to live on an
  ocean planet. It won the 2024 Wainwright Prize for Conservation Writing a
 nd was named a top non-fiction book of 2023 by both The Times and the Fina
 ncial Times. All attendees are invited to join a free drinks reception fol
 lowing the talk.
