An Enchanted World
Uncovering the vibrant spiritual life of Late AntiquityIn Late Antiquity (ca. 200–600 CE), the world was alive with unseen forces—divine agents who influenced every aspect of daily life. For most ordinary people, religion was not found in temples, synagogues, and churches, but in lived experience as they interacted with the supernatural in a world of uncertainty and danger. In An Enchanted World, Michael Satlow uncovers a shared spiritual landscape that stretched beyond the confines of Judaism, Christianity, and the pantheon of Greek and Roman deities. From healing rituals to protective amulets, spiritual practices were a matter of necessity, transcending religious labels. To get by in the world required being on good terms with the right supernatural beings and being able to ward off the bad ones. Rejecting traditional narratives that focus on institutional religion and theological divisions, Satlow presents a compelling case for viewing the period through the lens of “lived religion.” This was not a religion of abstractions formulated by rabbis and priests, but an enchanted world populated by divine beings who had as much—if not more—agency as any person. Drawing on archaeological evidence, historical documents, and a rich trove of magical texts, Satlow vividly reconstructs how ordinary people lived in a world that crackled with the energy of the supernatural. His account reimagines the spiritual history of Late Antiquity, centering shared human fears and aspirations and challenging preconceived notions about religious boundaries. With An Enchanted World, Satlow offers a fresh perspective on a transformative period—one that has much to teach us even today about the role that spirituality can play in the secular world.
When the Forest Breathes
When the forest breathes out, we breathe in. When the forest thrives, we thrive.
The world-renowned forest ecologist Suzanne Simard has transformed our understanding of the profound intelligence and interconnectedness of trees. In When the Forest Breathes, she uncovers how the deep-rooted cycles of renewal that sustain the forest can also help us to protect our entire global ecosystem.
Raised in a family of loggers committed to sustainable stewardship of the land, Simard has watched as timber companies leave the forests of her native British Columbia vulnerable to wildfires and drought, threatening the crucial biodiversity that they support. But her groundbreaking research for the Mother Tree Project - one of the most ambitious forest ecology experiments of its kind - has the potential to chart a new course. The forest, she reveals, is a living symphony of finely honed cycles of birth, growth, death and rebirth that hold the key to protecting the natural world. Working closely with local Indigenous communities, whose sustainable practices have been largely ignored, Simard examines how holistic, regenerative forestry that preserves the cycles of the forest can help solve the global climate crisis.
Weaving together scientific discoveries and luminous storytelling, Simard's book is a call to rediscover our kinship with the natural world, and listen to the lessons of the forest.

Looting Hummingbirds
In the first quarter of the 20th century, Daniel Thaly of Dominica, then a British Caribbean colony, was one of France’s most celebrated poets. He was educated in Martinique and then at medical school in France before returning to Dominica. His illustrious reputation crumbled when radicals in the emerging anti-colonial Negritude movement criticised his work. From then on he wrote little. Here for the first time in English (and French) we can read a selection of his lyrical and passionate poems - many about Dominica - alongside an introduction that pieces together what little is known of his life.
Sympathy for Yahweh
In Kenya, underneath a hot tin roof in tropical heat, a voice in a dream literally tempted author Alan Wildsmith to interpret the Book of Job. In Sympathy for Yahweh, you join Alan - a practicing psychotherapist, writer, creative cookie, and complete biblical novice - on a dynamic journey of discovery.? Many feel alienated by biblical religious doctrines and dogma, especially if their spiritual experiences have been disregarded by others, by frameworks, or by interpretations of holy texts. Oddly enough, though, Alan discovered that when you seriously engage the Book of Job, the very foundations of organised religion shudder. With humour and self-reflection, and from unique perspectives, Ala? book will bring you into a fresh, vital, and most importantly, unshackled relationship with our Western God. I? not just the dogmatic side of religion that this book shakes up but also dogmatic scientism, which pervades the Western psyche, casting away intuitions, dreams, synchronicities, visions, and other felt senses as superfluous - the more feminine aspects of our psyche - and while on the journey he had with this biblical book, Alan found femininity a subtle yet strong theme. Sympathy for Yahweh is for anyone interested in philosophy, religion, spirituality, and psychology. If an atheist can find faith in this book, so can a religious zealot! Everyone is welcome.
