Faultlines 4: Lifestyle change & regulation in climate policy
2025-10-31 10:00 - 16:00 | BRLSI, 16-18 Queen Square, Bath, Bath & North East Somerset, BA1 2HN, United Kingdom
Lifestyle change has been a cornerstone of green thinking since the 1970s. We have had critiques of consumerism, ‘voluntary simplicity’, steady-state economics, and many claims that a simpler life is preferable. The key aim is to ‘do one’s bit’ to avoid a future in which damaging climate change will adversely affect everyone. Many people already gain personal satisfaction from their voluntary attempts to achieve such a lifestyle, but in fact, such people are a small minority. Actually, there is clear evidence that over society as a whole carbon emissions rise steadily with increasing household income, and that a few hundreds of billionaires are responsible for a million times more greenhouse gases than the average person.

This is why some experts say that encouraging mass adoption of lifestyle change is not a useful strategy in climate policy. Instead, what is needed is top-down regulation of emissions. After all we don’t allow people to “decide” how they will dispose of their sewage, do we? But such regulation might be politically very difficult to achieve.

Moth Dark with Kika Hatzopoulou
2025-10-30 19:00 - 21:00 | Mr B’s Emporium Bookshop, 14-15, John St, Bath, BA1 2JL
Mr B’s is very excited to welcome shop favourite Kika Hatzopoulou back to the shop for a special Halloween event of shadows, darkness, and magic.

From the bestselling author of Threads that Bind and Hearts that Cut comes a brand-new compulsive romantasy about a girl obsessed with the dark and the shadowy magical prince she falls in love with, perfect for fans of Holly Black and Laini Taylor.

About Moth Dark:

The dark has come alive . . .

Six years ago, vicious creatures began to crawl out of the dark crevices of the world, and with it Sascia’s fascination with the darkness was born. Now eighteen, that fascination has become an obsession, and while exploring an area known for its connection to the Darkworld, Sascia sees a person climb out of the darkness. But Nugau is no ordinary person, they’re a genderfluid elf prince with one mission . . . to kill Sascia.

Except, the second time they meet, Nugau is younger and doesn’t recognise Sascia. And the third time, Nugau stumbles out of the darkness with poison running through their veins, expressing their undying love for her.

Piecing together the puzzle, Sascia makes two shocking discoveries: the timelines of her world and Nugau’s are not linear, and she is inexplicably enmeshed in a war between humanity and elves. But with their worlds at battle, is it worth fighting for each other . . . ?

Kika Hatzopoulou is the bestselling and award-winning author of Threads That Bind and Hearts That Cut. She is a native Greek and current Londoner and holds an MFA in writing for children from the New School. In her free time, she enjoys urban quests and gastronomical adventures while narrating entire book and movie plots with her partner.

British Museum Lectures: Nordic Noir
2025-10-30 18:30 - 21:00 | Topping & Company Booksellers of Bath, York Street, Bath, BA1 1NG, United Kingdom
Toppings are delighted to welcome Jennifer Ramkalawon to the bookshop to discuss Nordic Noir, a new book that showcases the British Museum’s remarkable collection of graphic art from the post-war period to the present day from Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland. Nordic Noir accompanies a major exhibition at The British Museum in October 2025.

The overwhelmingly spectacular landscape of the region features prominently in many of the featured works – dark fjords, uninhabited mountain ranges and heavily forested areas contrast with densely crowded, highly developed urban spaces viewed through the Nordic lens. The Indigenous Sami people living in the northern part of Scandinavia and Russia address issues such as their own heritage and identity within the Nordic world. Regional identity is also explored from pride in the artists’ own native countries to coded references to their ‘Viking’ past. The book also features works by contemporary Nordic artists who are constantly challenging the idea of the ‘perfect’ Scandinavian social world often projected by these countries to outsiders.

Beautifully presented, this stunning new book celebrates artwork from some of the leading artists from the Nordic countries.

Jennifer Ramkalawon is Curator of Modern and Contemporary Nordic Graphic Art at the British Museum. Previous publications include Maggi Hambling: Touch (2016), Kitaj Prints: A Catalogue Raisonné (2013), Love and Marriage (2008) and Toulouse-Lautrec (2007).

An Evening with Andrzej Sapkowski of The Witcher
2025-10-30 18:15 - 21:00 | Bath Pavilion, N Parade Rd, Bathwick, Bath, BA2 4EU
Join Toppings for an evening in Bath with Andrzej Sapkowski, author of global phenomenon The Witcher, to celebrate his latest novel – The Witcher: Crossroads of Ravens.

Witchers are not born. They are made.

Before he was the White Wolf or the Butcher of Blaviken, Geralt of Rivia was simply a fresh graduate of Kaer Morhen, stepping into a world that neither understands nor welcomes his kind.

And when an act of naive heroism goes gravely wrong, Geralt is only saved from the noose by Preston Holt, a grizzled witcher with a buried past and an agenda of his own.

Under Holt’s guiding hand, Geralt begins to learn what it truly means to walk the Path – to protect a world that fears him, and to survive in it on his own terms. But as the line between right and wrong begins to blur, Geralt must decide to become the monster everyone expects, or something else entirely.

This is the story of how legends are made – and what they cost.

The Watsons: The novel Jane Austen was always writing
2025-10-30 18:00 - 19:30 | No.1 Royal Crescent, 1 Royal Crescent, Bath, BA1 2LR
Join Professor Kathryn Sutherland as she explores The Watsons.

Probably written in Bath in 1804-5, The Watsons was left unfinished. Despite this, it was clearly important: Jane Austen kept it by her for more than a decade during which all her famous novels were published. What is The Watsons—the beginnings of a novel? a short story? an experiment lying between biography and fiction? Why did she keep it?

Professor Kathryn Sutherland is Senior Research Fellow, St Anne’s College, Oxford. Her most recent publications include Why Modern Manuscripts Matter (2022) and Jane Austen in 41 Objects (2025).
