Noam Chomsky visited India in 1996 and 2001 and spoke on a wide range of subjects, from democracy and corporate propaganda to the nature of the world order and the role of intellectuals in society. He captivated audiences with his lucid challenge of dominant political analyses, the engaging style of his talks, and his commitment to social equality as well as individual freedom. Chomsky’s early insights into the workings of power in the modern world remain timely and compelling. Published for the first time, this series of lectures also provides the reader with an invaluable introduction to the essential ideas of one of the leading thinkers of our time.

Black holes are stranger than anything dreamed up by science fiction writers.” In 2016 Professor Stephen Hawking delivered the BBC Reith Lectures on a subject that fascinated him for decades – black holes. In these flagship lectures the legendary physicist argued that if we could only understand black holes and how they challenge the very nature of space and time, we could unlock the secrets of the universe.

Ten years ago, Clare and David Hieatt started the Do Lectures with a simple aim: To gather together the world's Doers - disruptors and change makers, experts and pioneers - to share their stories, and encourage others to go and Do. Since that time, the Do Lectures has grown into a small but mighty institution, a unique gathering around ideas set over four days on their farm in West Wales. It has attracted world-class speakers and inspired countless attendees to follow their passions. Stay Curious is a celebration of the Do Lectures' life-changing magic, full of personal insight and lessons learnt over the last decade - from curating the very best speakers, to styling and producing a beautifully intimate event, and the importance of people, place and passion. A 304-page hardback with full colour and B&W film photography, Stay Curious: How we created a world-class event in a cowshed invites you to experience this special event and shares insight on how to curate and host your own beautiful gatherings.
