The What on Earth?
Giant Wallbook of Sport

This mahoosive book tells the extraordinary drama of the history of sports from the first Greek Olympics in 776 BC to the present day. So pretty much all you need to know. Christopher Lloyd, science writer extraordinaire and its wonderful author, will be at the wall every day in his coat of many pockets for a free talk. 12pm and 3pm from Saturday 2 June to Sunday 10 June.
