The Big Argument: Does God Exist? is a collection of twenty-four essays from various scholars in a variety of fields such as philosophy, science, history, and archaeology. Judging the book by its cover, the book’s cover art, paper, and binding gives the impression that the content might be equally poor in quality. However, that is not necessarily true. The content was much richer than the first...

Michael Morpurgo's tale of a wild child ranks among his best Children's fiction often finds ingenious ways of getting rid of adults, forcing its protagonists to depend on their own resources and initiative. Michael Morpurgo's method here is more drastic than most. By the end of chapter two, nine-year-old Will has lost both parents: his soldier father has been killed in Iraq, and his mother, on a holiday...

First, to declare an interest: Hugo Young was a political columnist for this paper, and there is a foreword by Alan Rusbridger, the editor. But I'd choose this book even if Young wrote for the Daily Mail and the foreword were by Conrad Black. It would be irresponsible not to. (Not that, I think, he would ever have written for that paper unless with a heavy heart. As he put it in February 1997: "The...

We have another new year almost untouched by our faults and failings and yet there is always hope in all our lives. Some hope for material gain, some for better health, some for a better world system of things and a few of us (although we too are a dying 'breed') hope for that so important information that means so much.
