Concern for our global environment is increasing by the day. It is no longer only the worry of a handful of ecologists. Parents, teachers, politicians, community groups and international organisations are now campaigning for the safety and security of this planet against forces that seems intent on accelerating its destruction. But what can the individual do? In this trenchant analysis, Judith Hoad gives practical advice on how we can work towards more appropriate lifestyles, both privately and publicly. Addressing many complex issues in easily accessible and personal language, she connects major concerns such as the policies of multinationals, deforestation, industrial pollution, with the power of the individual to influence and effect change for the better, both locally and globally. 'Need or Greed?' is a thoroughly engaging handbook for everyone concerned with how we manage the earth. Other books by Judith Hoad Healing With Herbs.

Seamus Heaney has coupled Patrick Kavanagh (1904-67) with W.B. Yeats as the two most influential figures in twentieth century Irish poetry. Kavanagh was born in Co. Monaghan, the son of a cobbler-cum-small farmer. He left school at thirteen but continued to educate himself, reading and writing poetry in his spare time. In 1929 he began contributing verses to the Irish Statesman and was soon publishing in Irish and English journals. His first collection, Ploughman and Other Poems, appeared in 1936 and was followed by an autobiography, The Green Fool, in 1938. In 1939 he moved to Dublin where he spent the rest of his life as a freelance writer. He first emerged as an important literary voice with his long poem, The Great Hunger, in 1942. Other collections appeared in the following decade to growing critical acclaim. Kavanagh's work was his life, but he was also part of social and literary Dublin for almost thirty years in the company of a gifted generation of writers, among them Flann O'Brien and Brendan Behan. His position in the history of Irish poetry is secure. Antoinette Quinn's biography will be the standard life for many years to come.

Science is clearly one of the most profound methods that humans have yet devised for discovering truth, while religion remains the single greatest force for generating meaning. Yet science and religion tend to deny the significance, and even the reality, of each other. All too frequently, the two are seen as mutually exclusive. According to Ken Wilber, one of today's most important and influential philosophers, "There is arguably no more important and pressing topic than the relation of science and religion in the modern world."In The Marriage of Sense and Soul, Mr. Wilber brilliantly shows how we might begin to think about science and religion in ways that allow for their reconciliation and union, on terms acceptable to both camps. He proves that science is compatible with the world's religions, and explains why integration is essential for a balanced life. Systematically reviewing previous failed attempts at integration, he ultimately suggests a path for the marriage of ancient wisdom and modern knowledge. In doing so, he presents an elegant and accessible program which is breathtaking in its scope -- one that cannot fail to change the way you look at your world.
