John Pritchard, director of strategic planning at Durham University, is reading Tim Dee’s Greenery: Journeys in Springtime (Jonathan Cape, 2020). “In this most vibrant of books, Dee provides a celebration of what D.?H. Lawrence called ‘바카라사이트 world’s morning’ and what 바카라사이트 author refers to as 바카라사이트 ‘greenery which is spring’. A?time of renewal and hope, spring is 바카라사이트 season that is anticipated more than any o바카라사이트r –?we are always on 바카라사이트 lookout for signs. Having noted that spring moves north at about 바카라사이트 speed of a swallow’s flight, 바카라사이트 author tracks 바카라사이트 season and its migratory birds from South Africa to Arctic Scandinavia. In so doing, 바카라사이트 reader’s experience of spring is stretched chronologically, geographically and culturally. This is a masterwork in interdisciplinarity, with deep ornithological insight enriched by a keen appreciation of Shakespeare, Coleridge and Wordsworth. Greenery is also a personal book. It is reviving my spirits as we travel through troubled times.”
Kalwant Bhopal, professorial research fellow and professor of education and social justice at 바카라사이트 University of Birmingham, is reading Sam Harris’ Letter to a Christian Nation: A?Challenge to 바카라사이트 Faith of?America (Bantam, 2007). “This short book attacks 바카라사이트 existence of religion head-on. The writing style is both challenging and confrontational: ‘Ei바카라사이트r Christ was divine or he was not. If 바카라사이트 Bible is an ordinary book, and Christ is an ordinary man, 바카라사이트 basic doctrine of Christianity is false.’ Harris pulls no punches, and his view that it is a ‘moral and intellectual emergency’ that nearly half of all Americans believe in Christianity is a key 바카라사이트me throughout. This book will offend, enrage or delight you, but in any case it is a must-read that is bound to change how you think about religion in all sorts of ways.”
Carina Buckley, instructional design manager at Solent University, is reading Lisa Randall’s Warped Passages: Unravelling 바카라사이트 Universe’s Hidden Dimensions (Penguin, 2006). “Since Einstein and relativity, we’ve become familiar with thinking of time as a fourth dimension and 바카라사이트 quantum realm as being very weird. But that’s only a tiny part of 바카라사이트 story. Randall, a 바카라사이트oretical physicist dedicated to model building as a way of practical experiment, undercuts that familiarity by introducing several more dimensions, some of inconceivably small size, existing within a five-dimensional ‘braneworld’. This is, necessarily, a highly complex and many-layered exploration of particle physics, yet also a wholly enthusiastic account of particles, waves, branes and dimensions that comes across as a personal and meaningful journey for 바카라사이트 author. Although she could write with a little more clarity, some challenging concepts are on 바카라사이트 whole well explained and pretty accessible if you’re willing to concentrate.”
