We want to empower everyone to be accelerators and multipliers for the dramatic policy transformations that are needed immediately to tackle the acute climate and biodiversity emergencies. This workshop is part of our Hay Festival Planet Assembly, a daily, inclusive conversation over ten days involving lay people, scientists, commentators and experts. How can we mobilise joined up, local-to-global action by business, society and governments on biodiversity, at a speed and scale fast enough to matter? The COP15 summit in Montreal last December was a remarkable and unexpected success but most businesses have little knowledge of nature risks and no plan to restore biodiversity. We’ve lost 69% of wildlife over the past 50 years, and at last we’re realising the consequences. We’ll discuss the scale of the issue and a range of solutions, how to action them, how they might impact on their lives and how to manage the change.īiodiversity is the collective term for the full variety of life on Earth. Facilitated by sustainability entrepreneur Andy Middleton, Chief Exploration Officer at the TYF Group, and joined by Anna Swaithes, Head of Sustainability, Crown Estate, we’ll look at the key issue of biodiversity.

That is because they are literary detectives, created by G. He was a steadfast guide and counselor, especially to those in most need of God’s mercy. Roger Dowling confronted every kind of sin, degradation and personal disappointment without ever losing his faith or his compassion.

He could foil a criminal mastermind and then bring him to repentance before bringing him to justice. Father Brown was a great man of small stature. One of the places this book excels – aside from the incredibly authentic Victorian feel and magical, evocative language – is the characterisation. It’s about two magicians, in an alternative Victorian England, where magic is accepted as real but pretty much a dying art – now mainly read about in textbooks and discussed in public houses. I’m not going to go into detail on the plot on this one – there’s a lot of it and the premise is pretty well-known. It’s a blend of fantasy and historical fiction – with a little sprinkle of Austen-style satire and witty dialoge – and I really have never read anything quite like it. Clarke uses intricate details on every page to bring this world to life and language evocative of the time it’s set.

What about aall the other books I could be reading? What if I invest all that time and I don’t love it?īut I finally bit the bullet with this – the book Neil Gaiman was quoted on the cover saying is “Unquestionably the finest English novel of the fantastic in the past 70 years.” And, I think he’s onto something. I’m sure I’m not the only reader who recoils at the thought of a book over 1000 pages. This book has been sitting on my shelf for years.

With King George III suffering from mental illness, the Prince of Wales is preparing to start his period as Regent and members of the two main political parties, the Whigs and the Tories – who are strongly divided over issues such as Britain’s role in the Napoleonic Wars – are hoping to gain positions of power and influence in the newly-established Regency.Īt the beginning of the novel, Sebastian St. What Angels Fear is set in London in 1811. There are now ten books in the series, which is slightly overwhelming, especially as I’m already in the middle of so many other series, but I thought it was time I at least gave the first one a try. I can’t remember where I first heard about this series but I know it has been recommended to me several times over the last few years and did sound like something I would enjoy.
