![]() Now comes The Secret Network of Nature, which feels like a combination of the two earlier books, an attempt to show the extensive and complex patterns of the natural world and, crucially, how human activity is destroying relationships that have existed in perfectly balanced symbiosis for tens of millions of years. ![]() The book’s observations were more familiar than those of its predecessor the ground better trod. ![]() Like Tim Birkhead in Bird Sense and Charles Foster in Being a Beast, Wohlleben demonstrated that animals experience the world with a depth and richness we often choose to ignore. The Inner Life of Animals sought to prompt a similar revolution in our attitudes towards animals. Where once we saw trees as isolated individuals, we now perceive a wood as a place of multiple and sophisticated interrelationships, many of them operating deep beneath the earth. Trees of the same species send messages to one another via networks of mycorrhizal fungi, enabling them to issue warnings of potential danger, even to share nutrients. ![]() Wohlleben is a forester in the Eifel mountains of western Germany and his Hidden Life of Trees brought together a great deal of scholarly work on the way that trees interact and “communicate”. ![]()

![]() ![]() However, it’s not rushed, which is why the story is worth almost 500 pages. Obviously, but also, maybe kind of a spoiler, because this is a stand-alone romance, there is a HEA between the main couple, Harper and Rhen. (Which, come on, you’ve tried 300 times and didn’t learn from any of your mistakes? C’mon dude.) One chance each year is all he has, and this is his last opportunity. The other main character, Rhen, has tried for hundreds of years to break his curse by trying to make a woman fall in love with him each year. This is where our Beauty and the Beast inspiration begins. When the main character, Harper, tries to intervene in an attempted kidnapping, she finds herself kidnapped instead and sent to a parallel world full of magic and a king determined to use Harper to break his curse. But it’s an engrossing read, and it’ll snap up your attention quickly. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Unlike in the US, the market for books in the Philippines is not well-developed yet.

The template involves a crime – most often a murder or mysterious death. This is not to say they are formulaic in a derogatory sense. The Merrily Watkins novels have a template. She and her mentor Huw Owen know that some people experience events which cannot simply be the result of their poor mental health. ![]() This, of course, puts Merrily Watkins’ ‘night job’ under threat. The senior Anglican clergy, including the Bishop of Hereford, are relentlessly determined to be woker than woke, and have decided that exorcism – or, to use the other term, deliverance – is the stuff or the middle ages, and clergy are being advised to refer any strange events to the NHS mental health teams. ![]() Now, as another celebrated solver of mysteries once said, “The game’s afoot!” We are in relatively modern times, March 2020, and the Covid Curse has begun to cast its awful spell.

It seems like half a lifetime since there was a Merrily Watkins novel – it was All of a Winter’s Night back in 2017 (click the title to read my review) and there has been one hell of a lot of water under the bridge for all of us since then including, sadly, Phil Rickman suffering serious illness. ![]() ![]() ![]() When Jacob invites the new kid to his favorite. ![]() And there’s Skylarwho’s used to being an outcast because he’s gay, disabled, adopted, and gender non-conforming (GNC).

There can be no such things ever anywhere. The last chapter of his deeply engaging book, Where the Conflict Really Lies, argues that there is ‘superficial concord but deep conflict between science and naturalism.’īy ‘naturalism’ he means a system of belief that excludes a priori any idea of God, supernatural power, spirit or anything similar. If it proved difficult to grasp that there is no real conflict between religion and evolutionary theory, somewhat more difficult to even hear that there is only a superficial conflict between religion and science, and almost a self-evident and inescapable contradiction that ‘there is superficial conflict but deep concord between science and religion,’ then Plantinga‘s last idea will seem bizarre in the extreme. It therefore seems appropriate to republish this earlier sequence. In the end it becomes clear that religion and science are compatible and necessary if our civilisation is to progress. My latest sequence explores in the last post the delusion of materialism. ![]() ![]() ![]() Lila, on the other hand, could never free herself from the city of her birth.
