Summary

Birth of Clover explores the captivating cultural history of the clover, a symbol deeply embedded in folklore, luck, and prosperity across various societies. The book investigates how this seemingly simple plant has evolved from ancient Celtic traditions and mythology to its modern-day presence in popular culture and commercial enterprise. Intriguingly, the four-leaf clover's rarity has amplified its association with good fortune, and it has undergone reinterpretation within Christian symbolism, notably through Saint Patrick's use of the shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity. This social science and history analysis traces the clover's botanical origins and early ties to nature worship, then illustrates its integration into religious iconography. Later chapters delve into the commodification of the clover motif in advertising and tourism, revealing how its symbolic value is leveraged for economic gain. The book concludes by examining the clover's enduring appeal in contemporary culture, emphasizing its continued representation of hope and connection to nature, as demonstrated through case studies from Ireland, the United States, and Japan.

    When I Consider Your Heavens -...

    In this thought-provoking book, Antony Latham shows how science and philosophy provide evidence for the existence of God. There was a beginning of the universe, which requires an explanation beyond itself. The exquisite fine-tuning of the physical laws necessary for life has all the hallmarks of design. Paleontology and biology show unmistakable signs of an intelligence behind life. Consciousness and free-will, inexplicable in purely physical terms, point to something beyond the material. The philosophy of beauty and morality leads us to an author of both. He argues that the universe is ‘open’—not simply the interaction of matter and energy, but a realm where miracles can happen. The evidence for the greatest miracle in history, the resurrection of Jesus, is carefully presented. 
    About the Author: 
    Antony Latham is a retired family doctor with nine years of experience working in hospitals in East Africa. He has authored books on Darwinism and the philosophy of mind, and holds a degree in Medical Law and Bioethics. Currently, he chairs the Scottish Council on Human Bioethics. He and his wife have four children and three grandchildren. They live in the Western Isles of Scotland, where he enjoys sailing and mountaineering.

    For many years, UNITA leader Jonas Savimbi was known for his charisma, charm and brio: he convinced millions of his fellow countrymen and also international statesmen that he was Angola's and the West's best hope for democratic rule.
    More than 30 years after writing a sympathetic biography of Savimbi, Fred Bridgland sets the record straight. Based on new evidence that has come to light, he reveals the rebel leader's murderous legacy. In the 1970s and 1980s, when Angola was a hotbed of the Cold War, few people would have believed that Savimbi was a manipulative and paranoid tyrant prepared to kill anyone he viewed as a threat to his power.
    Tito Chingunji, the brilliant young foreign secretary of Savimbi's UNITA movement, who approached Bridgland to write the original biography in the early 1980s, risked his life to help Bridgland tell the true story of what was going on behind the scenes. This is an account of the intense friendship that developed between the two men, the adventures they shared and the terrifying challenges they faced as they revealed Savimbi's true face.
