  "Essential reading for lovers of the Great outdoors" —Roger Cox, Scotsman magazine 
   
   
   
  Longlisted for the 2022 Highland Book Prize 
   
   
   
  In 2019, Jenna Watt took part in the stalking of a hind on the vast Highland estate of Corrour: part of an immersive attempt to understand the ideas that lie behind 'rewilding', and what it means emotionally and physically to participate in Scotland's deer cull. Piece by piece and chapter by chapter she unravels the story of that one day spent hunting the hind, interlaced with her discovery that her ancestors were deer stalkers, game keepers, and ghillies on a Highland estate, who once took part in increasingly controversial land practices like muirburn and species persecution. 
   
   
   
  This exploration leads her into the complex and often conflict-ridden world of the rewilding movement. 
   
   
   
  In the process, Jenna comes to better understand the meaning of 'wildness', the shifting baselines of 'rewilding', and, in a world beset by climate change and species extinction, how to cope, both as an individual and as a society, with the concept of ecological grief.

  You Are Gods - On Nature and...

  David Bentley Hart

  In recent years, the theological—and, more specifically, Roman Catholic—question of the supernatural has made an astonishing return from seeming oblivion. David Bentley Hart's You Are Gods presents a series of meditations on the vexed theological question of the relation of nature and supernature. In its merely controversial aspect, the book is intended most directly as a rejection of a certain Thomistic construal of that relation, as well as an argument in favor of a model of nature and supernature at once more Eastern and patristic, and also more in keeping with the healthier currents of mediaeval and modern Catholic thought. In its more constructive and confessedly radical aspects, the book makes a vigorous case for the all-but-complete eradication of every qualitative, ontological, or logical distinction between the natural and the supernatural in the life of spiritual creatures. 
   
   
   
  Hart, one of the most widely read theologians in America today, presents a bold gesture of resistance to the recent revival of what used to be called "two-tier Thomism," especially in the Anglophone theological world. In this astute exercise in classical Christian orthodoxy, Hart takes the metaphysics of participation, high Trinitarianism, Christology, and the soteriological language of theosis to their inevitable logical conclusions.

  Shinto - The Indigenous...

  Shinto, often referred to as "the way of the gods," is Japan's indigenous spiritual tradition, rich in rituals, beliefs, and practices that have evolved over centuries. Unlike many organized religions, Shinto does not have a single founder or a unified doctrine; instead, it is a diverse amalgamation of ancient animistic beliefs, reverence for nature, and deep respect for ancestral spirits. This uniqueness allows Shinto to seamlessly blend with other spiritual practices, particularly Buddhism, which has coexisted with it for over a millennium. 
  At the heart of Shinto is the concept of kami, the spirits or deities that inhabit all aspects of the natural world. These kami are not limited to grand gods; they can also include the spirits of mountains, rivers, trees, and even objects. This belief fosters a profound connection between individuals and their environment, promoting an ethos of harmony and respect for nature. Rituals and practices in Shinto are designed to honor these kami, ensuring their favor and maintaining the delicate balance between humanity and the natural world. 
  Throughout Japan’s history, Shinto has played a significant role in shaping cultural identity, national consciousness, and social customs. The tradition has influenced art, literature, and festivals, providing a lens through which to understand the values and beliefs of the Japanese people. From the serene beauty of shrine architecture to the vibrant celebrations of seasonal festivals, Shinto permeates daily life and cultural expression. 
  In this book, we will explore the historical development of Shinto, its core beliefs and practices, the significance of kami and rituals, and the interplay between Shinto and other religious traditions.

  The Race Ahead - Overcoming...

  In Dr. J. Bruce Stewart's transformative work, "The Race Ahead," readers are taken on a compelling journey into the depths of racial bias ingrained in American society and the mind itself. This groundbreaking book not only diagnoses the presence and origins of racial biases but also prescribes a sophisticated blueprint for eradicating them, aimed at rewiring how we perceive and interact across racial lines. 
  Dr. Stewart begins by exploring the psychological foundations of bias, focusing particularly on the amygdala's role in triggering automatic and subconscious responses associated with fear and othering. He explains how these psychological processes, though once essential to human survival, now perpetuate division and misunderstanding in a diverse society. Using relatable anecdotes and rigorous research, Stewart shows how deep-seated fears and stereotypes shape our interactions, often in ways we are not consciously aware of. 
  Central to the book is the "Last Mile" problem, a concept Stewart uses to describe the final and most challenging steps in the journey toward racial equity. These steps involve not only acknowledging and understanding biases but actively implementing strategies to dismantle them within ourselves and our institutions. Stewart argues that this last mile is fraught with complexities and challenges, as it requires changing longstanding societal structures and confronting uncomfortable truths. 
  Part historical review, part psychological exploration, and part sociological study, "The Race Ahead" delves into the origins and perpetuations of racial myths and stereotypes. From the misrepresentations in media and literature that shape public perception to the policies and practices in education and law enforcement that reinforce racial disparities, Stewart leaves no stone unturned. 
  "The Race Ahead" is an urgent call to action, demanding a radical shift in both mindset and behavior from all sectors of society. It challenges readers to confront their biases
