  SHORTLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE AND THE HESSELL-TILTMAN PRIZEA journey told through stories and songs into Doggerland, the ancient region that once joined the east coast of England to Holland. Time Song tells of the creation, the existence and the loss of a country now called Doggerland, a huge and fertile area that once connected the entire east coast of England with mainland Europe, until it was finally submerged by rising sea levels around 5000 BC.  Blackburn mixes fragments from her own life with a series of eighteen 'songs' and all sorts of stories about the places and the people she meets in her quest to get closer to an understanding of Doggerland. She sees the footprints of early humans fossilised in the soft mud of an estuary alongside the scattered pockmarks made by rain falling eight thousand years ago. She visits a cave where the remnants of a Neanderthal meal have turned to stone. In Denmark she sits beside Tollund Man who seems to be about to wake from a dream, even though he has lain in a peat bog since the start of the Iron Age.

  In the heart of Indonesia, amidst the verdant landscapes of Lebak Regency, lies a remarkable testament to centuries of unwavering commitment to nature’s embrace. Here, a pristine forest thrives, untouched by the relentless march of modern degradation. This sanctuary owes its existence to the Baduy tribe, also known as the Kanekes people, and their revered leader, Pu’un. For generations, Pu’un has masterfully safeguarded this ecological haven, ensuring its preservation through a unique leadership style deeply rooted in traditional values and a profound understanding of cultural sustainability. 
  This ethnographic study delves into the holistic management practiced by the Pu’un of the Baduy tribe, exploring a leadership paradigm that transcends conventional approaches. It unravels the intricate threads of their traditional governance, the profound methods by which values are instilled, and the very source of Pu’un’s enduring knowledge. As the world grapples with escalating environmental crises, the wisdom of the Baduy offers a compelling alternative—a model where human existence and natural harmony are inextricably linked, guided by a leadership that prioritizes the delicate balance of the universe over transient gains. This exploration seeks to illuminate the potential applications of such a holistic approach within contemporary management science, particularly in the critical domain of environmental and natural conservation.

  Crusading against Christians:...

  Editors Charles River

  After the fall of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century, when Western Europe was governed by a Germanic warrior-caste, the theory of a just and virtuous war took root. The Roman Church enhanced its authority by sanctifying oaths taken for just military purposes, and Bishop Anselm of Lucca (d. 1086) was the first to suggest that military action for the cause of religion could remit sin. At the Council of Clermont in July 1095, Pope Urban II canonized religious war by urging Western Europe's nobility to take up arms in defense of the Byzantine Empire against the Muslims, thus launching the Crusades. Religious military orders such as the Knights of Saint John, the Templars, and the Hospitallers arose, ostensibly founded to protect the weak and the sick but also to extend the boundaries of Christianity and the power of the Church. In Europe, the knight, originally a mounted warrior, became a consecrated soldier of Christ, dedicated to the defense of the Church by solemn vows made before an altar. 
  Naturally, the question remained concerning the use of arms against other Christians. Eastern Christians did not acknowledge the Pope's supremacy, and many held that it was lawful for him to declare a crusade to bring schismatics back to the obedience of Rome. German knights fighting the Orthodox Russians at the Battle on the Ice in 1242 believed this, as did the Hungarian prosecutors of the 1235 invasion of Bosnia, which was thinly disguised as a crusade. The Church even extended the object of crusade to believers in communion with Rome, who refused to obey lawful authority. After peasants revolted against the Prince-Archbishop of Bremen in 1204 over tithes and land rights, Pope Gregory IX was persuaded to declare them heretics and proclaim a crusade against them.
