This issue of Sophia addresses the environmental crisis from two points of view: the first in the acceptance speech by HRH The Prince of Wales given when he received the 10th annual Global Environmental Citizen Award, and the second in an article by internationally renowned author Seyyed Hossein Nasr on the contemporary Islamic world and the role it must play in the environmental crisis. Huston Smith, revered philosopher, lecturer, and author in the field of religion and mysticism, gives succinct answers to questions posed by Sophia on a wide range of topics including globalization, the environmental crisis, bioengineering, and the relation among religions. The roots of the Kabbalah are examined in two penetrating articles: "The Wisdom of Christian Kabbalah" by Wolfgang Smith and "The Question of Sufi Influence on Early Kabbalah" by Tom Block. Other articles include "Ananda Coomaraswamy Invites Shiva to Dance" by Dan Rudmann and "Muslim Intellectuals and the Perennial Philosophy" by Zachary Markwith in which he discusses the legacy of Frithjof Schuon and Rene Guenon in particular.

With a foreword by His Royal Highness Prince Charles, this lavishly illustrated book brings together the history of Highgrove and its gardens. When Prince Charles first moved into Highgrove, the gardens were a blank canvas and His Royal Highness an inexperienced gardener. Now, nearly forty years later, through hard work and passion, not only has he become an accomplished gardener, but the grounds of his home in Gloucestershire, England, have been transformed into one of the most remarkable gardens in Britain, delighting visitors from all around the world. With a foreword by His Royal Highness, this lavishly illustrated book brings together the history of Highgrove and the myriad gardens that he has created which reflect his interests: architecture, the arts, conservation, a belief in organic principles, and, quite simply, his love of nature all play their part. There are surprises, too: as Prince Charles loves to experiment, his garden is one that constantly evolves as new ideas take shape. The Sundial Garden, Cottage Garden, Thyme Walk, Terrace, Kitchen Garden, Stumpery, Arboretum, Sanctuary, Wildflower Meadow, and more are here to explore and enjoy.
