There are some interesting

Monday Evening events

coming up at the Durning Library at 167 Kennington Lane, just by Kennington Cross SE11. They run from 1930 but it is best to get there as soon as possible after 1900 as space is limited. The first, on Monday 16 February, is entitled

"Mr Guy's Hospital and the Caribbees"

Medical historian Jane Bowden-Dan will be discussing the medical care of Caribbean slaves sent "home" from the West Indies by London merchants and treated at Guy's Hospital. Was it humanitarian concern or enlightened self-interest which led to the slave Samson being treated by premier surgeon Samuel Sharpe?

And the second, on Monday 15 March, is entitled

"Can We Avert Climate Catastrophe?"

Where can we find the real facts about climate change? Are the relevant scientists in disagreement about the facts? How real and imminent is the threat of climate catastrophe? Can we avert it, and if so how much time have we got? These are some of the questions that John Mead, of the UNED-UK Energy & Climate Panel, will try to answer.
