    The Gwent Levels line the north shore of the Severn Estuary in South Wales: Chepstow at their head; their more famous cousin, the Somerset Levels, across the water; the Welsh capital, Cardiff at their feet. You could waste an hour crossing the Levels by motorway. Or brush aside the journey by train. But writer Marsha O'Mahony has chosen the slow route of foreshore, footpath, and country lane. Over the course of two years, she meandered from village to village collecting conversations and anecdotes as she went. The result is a remarkable oral and social history of this unique landscape and the people who live there.

    Confirmation bias is a cognitive phenomenon that plays a significant role in shaping our beliefs and perceptions. It refers to the tendency of individuals to search for, interpret, and remember information in a way that confirms their preexisting beliefs or theories, while disregarding or minimizing evidence that contradicts those beliefs. This bias is not limited to any particular field or context and can influence people in a variety of ways, from politics and religion to personal relationships and health decisions. 
At its core, confirmation bias serves to protect the individual from cognitive dissonance, which is the uncomfortable tension that arises when a person holds conflicting beliefs or encounters information that challenges their worldview. By favoring information that aligns with their existing views, individuals reduce the mental discomfort of having to reconcile opposing ideas. While this process may offer short-term comfort, it can lead to long-term distortions in thinking, preventing growth and the development of more accurate or well-rounded perspectives. 
This cognitive bias operates at both conscious and unconscious levels. On a conscious level, people may deliberately seek out information that supports their views, whether it be through selective reading, watching certain news outlets, or engaging in discussions with like-minded individuals. However, confirmation bias also operates unconsciously, influencing the way information is processed, remembered, and recalled. For example, individuals may be more likely to remember information that supports their beliefs and forget or dismiss data that contradicts them, even if they are unaware of this selective memory process.

    The war of the three realms begins here… 
In the heart of the Samtoy Nation during the pre-colonial era of Philippine history, the world of Filipino heroes, deities, and mythological monsters collide in an ambitious re-telling of a classic Filipino epic. 
Our story begins with Namongan, a healer and midwife from an isolated village in the Ilocos Region who discovers that she is destined to bear a child blessed by the Poon deities. This child is Lam-ang and he is the first Lakandian. Maturing at a rate unheard of amongst mere mortals, Lam-ang also possesses the strength of a hundred men and was trained to be the greatest warrior for good the mortal realm has ever seen. 
Together with Mangmankik, an anito spirit assigned to look after him by the Poons, Lam-ang sets out on a quest to find the missing pieces of the Gayaman Amulet and rescue his father who was abducted by the insidious night creatures on the night that he was born. 
This book covers the first half of the life of Lam-ang, derived from the Ilocano epic Biag ni Lam-ang. The story follows the adventures of our hero as he uncovers the truth about himself as well as the truth about his role in the war between the forces of good and evil that threatens not just the fate of the world of men but all the realms of the spirit world as well.
