The Wheeler Centre is Melbourne’s home for smart, passionate and entertaining public talks on every topic. Across 230+ events each year, you’ll find some of our finest local and international thinkers and speakers, sharing their expertise, their imagination and their ideas.
At 9.00am, Friday April 7 the Wheeler Centre will reveal their Season Two programme. To celebrate the release, Age subscribers can get concession priced tickets (saving $10) to five of Season Two’s event highlights, including:
• The Observer’s legendary food critic, Jay Rayner, talking about his new book, The Ten (Food) Commandments.
• James Gleick, author of the hugely influential book, Chaos: Making a New Science, which popularised the idea of ‘the butterfly effect’. His new book, Time Travel: A History takes a sweeping look at the history of time travel in culture, science, technology and philosophy.
