What pleasure just to bask

in ancient tree-light, Puck-like

What can be said about a poem better than reading it?

It celebrates nature's beauty, romance, music, sex, mystic love and even the sad demise of steam engines

As regards philosophical element an analyst might discern a thread running between A Cluster of Lights and...

This volume is the umbilical offshoot of its 'mother book', Science and the Soul. Both are truly original works. We begin by linking with the latter. Then, using facts from palaeoanthropology, biology (classical and molecular), information theory, design theory and philosophy, A Mutant Ape? assesses the two main interpretations of your human origin.

The simple difference between these interpretations is identified. So also are the differences between man and ape. Thence the book follows the course of palaeoanthropological history until the second world war and deals...

After an explanation of the way that Natural Dialectic works, the narrative turns to explain how an orderly act of creation is expressed and physical, psychological and biological phenomena can be systematically related. It proceeds to abbreviate the explanation of these...
