Nature and Nation: Terriers

http://natureandnation.blogspot.com/2010/11/terriers.html

Saturday, 16 October 2010. Terrier by Stephen Parker. The dogs like to take it in turns to run behind the bushes and pretend not to see or hear their master, which annoys him, but only for the short while until they come trotting back, all innocent looking, when his hard face breaks into an indulgent smile.

Nature and Nation: Why are they there?

http://natureandnation.blogspot.com/2010/11/why-are-they-there.html

Tuesday, 12 October 2010. Why are they there? Linda Norgrove, 1974-2010. The full facts surrounding the tragedy of 36-year-old Scottish aid worker Linda Norgrove, abducted in Afghanistan's Kunar province and killed during a rescue attempt last Friday night by US special forces, have yet to emerge. That the US military were willing to mount such a dangerous operation to try and rescue her tells us something about how potentially damaging such kidnappings are to coalition public relations. Both western aid...

Tuesday, 16 November 2010. Return of the British wolf? Since Britons first began clearing forests for settlement and agriculture five or six thousand years ago, many large native animals have been driven to extinction, including wild horses, aurochs (wild cattle), beavers (killed for food and/ or fur), wolves, bears and lynx (hunted because of their threat to game and livestock). By the end of the nineteenth century, the European grey wolf ( Canis lupus lupus. Of Norse mythology is a huge, monstrous wolf.

Nature and Nation: Lions led by donkeys

http://natureandnation.blogspot.com/2009/11/perhaps-it-is-indication-of-how.html

Saturday, 7 November 2009. Lions led by donkeys. Perhaps it is an indication of how emotionally frozen we have become in this age of immorality and mayhem that we are rarely moved by the things we see in newspapers. Even the most sensitive individuals. It seems, become desensitized to continual barrages of appalling news. In my ignorance, I had not realized that. The gunning down earlier this week of five British soldiers at. From Arab countries, or from Islamic ghettoes in western Europe. A new survey by.

Nature and Nation: The fate of churches

http://natureandnation.blogspot.com/2010/11/fate-of-churches.html

Wednesday, 20 October 2010. The fate of churches. Derelict church near Ashford, Kent, jwfairley. If it were possible to measure such things as the happiness or self-assurance of a nation, and if such records had been kept in Britain for the last fifty years or so, the resulting downward graphs would, I'm sure, closely match the graph of church attendance over the same period. I'm not suggesting that the two are causally related – that the decline in regular churchgoing has been a. Of unhappiness, or.
