Nasty, disturbing, uncomfortable things.
There are books in my library, such that it is, which have held within them excitement, knowledge, curiosity and anguish. There are books between whose covers I have found yearning, disgust, loyalty and contempt. There are many which have brought pleasure, a few with the strange gift of boredom, and some, just a handful, which have changed my life. Not in the way that all things do, each new experience making minor adjustments, but in the way that shows, decades later, in the makeup of my world. The first of these are lost to me. I am told I was besotted with a particular ABC, and the illustrations of Shirley Hughes continued throughout my own children’s early years, to resemble my idealised family life to a suspicious degree. The Maggie B, by Irene Haas may well underscore my concept of cosy, and I dare say the smallfolk I nearly glimpse beneath the trees in dappled sunlight have been seen first on a page, from the haven of my mother’s lap. One, likely some, of these early books has changed my life, turning me into a reader and lover of stories before I can remember otherwise. But I want to talk here about the first clear memory, the lucid revelation, of the world I build my life in.

balance of nature reviews:The delicate strands of life on Earth
balance of nature reviews:The delicate strands of life on Earth are woven together by nature in a magnificent tapestry. Nature exhibits an unmatched diversity, from the high, sky-touching mountains to the tranquil, flower-filled meadows and the deep waters alive with enigmatic animals. Each plant, animal, and element plays a crucial part in this symphony of interrelated ecosystems. We are reminded of the beauty and tranquility that nature provides by the soft rustling of leaves in a forest, the calming sound of waves breaking on the coast, and the vivid colours of a sunset. Nature offers us critical supplies, clean air, and a haven for reflection and recuperation in addition to its visual appeal. Preserving and valuing nature becomes more important as we live in a contemporary environment.
