His permanent exhibition Beautiful Science: Ideas that Changed the World was named as the best exhibition in America by the American Association of Museums the year after it opened.  His most recent book, Twelve Trees: The Deep Roots of Our Future explores the relationship between human and nature and our interconnected future.

Alan Marcus is Professor in Creative and Cultural Practice at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland. As a filmmaker and cultural historian, he often explores themes associated with the impact of mass tourism and urbanization on iconic post-traumatic sites.  Works include films on the US/Mexican border controversy, the environmental impact of over-development in Waikiki, and a current project on the effects of climate change on a Canadian Inuit community on the Arctic Ocean.
