The American psychologist William James wrote in his classic study The Varieties of Religious Experience that the 'real core of the religious problem' lies in an overwhelming experience of cosmic horror born out of abject despair at life's incontrovertible hideousness.

Many of these weeds are sansai: mountain vegetables prized for their delicate flavor and sold in farmer's markets. In the mountains, wild vegetables are beginning to push through the snow.

This is a beautifully written book that doesn’t preach or try to tell you what actions and decisions you should take. Sarah Buckley’s book explains why these are the basic needs for an undisturbed birth. ![]() ![]() One of the most important aspects is that the birthing woman feels safe, respected and does not feel observed during her labour also, ideally she would be attended by a midwife that she is familiar with and feels safe with. There are many aspects of preparation, mental, emotional and physical, that are important to ensure that the birthing process unfolds in the optimal way. Skilfully blending ancient wisdom with up-to-date medical research, Sarah explains how a woman’s body is perfectly designed to grow a baby in utero, give birth without assistance and protect and nourish her baby. Some may find it reassuring that she is a family physician and a mother of four home-birthed babies. Sarah Buckley’s book is an authoritative, incredibly well researched, guide to natural childbirth and parenting options.

There was no grand narrative to their lives. ![]() And-for that reason, I think-none of them gripped me. Watson’s own description of Holmes is apt: “I was repelled by the egotism which I had more than once observed to be a strong factor in my friend’s singular character.” Several of the supporting characters were intriguing, even downright funny.īut pleasant or not, they didn’t grow (nor deteriorate), didn’t develop. Watson came across as quite an affable fellow. And it’s not that they weren’t pleasant most of them were. Then where lies its flaw? Elementary: I wasn’t drawn to any of the characters. I would not have any reservation handing “The Adventures” to my eleven year old (but ymmv). The subject matter is every bit as proper as its protagonist. Was the subject matter unpleasant? Please. His descriptions are crisp and he moves the narrative forward with a remarkable economy of words. Was the writing awkward or clunky? Was it just plain hard to read? Not at all. ![]() Perhaps they became a bit too formulaic by the end, predictable even. Each chapter formed a well-crafted little crime drama, complete with creative little twists and turns. ![]() Was there something wrong with the story, the plot? Not at all. Really?
