Jesus of Nazareth was the most influential person to ever walk the earth, so why do we have no record of him for nearly two decades of his short life? Or have we just not looked in the right places? Narratives have long trickled out of the British Isles pointing to a significant connection with Jesus and with some of His most prominent disciples. Evidence reveals that Britain was not only the epicenter of an ancient global religion but became the first light of Christianity after the crucifixion.

För tre månader sedan körde Lena Nguyens tvillingsyster Cambry till en undangömd bro tio mil från Missoula i Montana – och hoppade. Hon dog sextio meter nedanför bron, på stenarna i den uttorkade flodfåran. Det hävdar polisen i sin utredning. Men Lena tror inte på det. Nu har hon själv kört till bron i sin döda systers bil, beväpnad med en bandspelare och fast besluten att ta reda på vad som verkligen hände genom att intervjua polismannen som hittade Cambrys kropp. Korpral Raymond Raycevic är sympatisk, rättfram och professionell. Men hans berättelse känns fel.

Her first novel, The Beautiful Visit, won the John Llewellyn Rhys prize - she went on to write 14 more, of which the best-loved were the five volumes of The Cazalet Chronicle.

In this innovative and deeply felt work, Bron Taylor examines the evolution of "green religions" in North America and beyond: spiritual practices that hold nature as sacred and have, in many cases, replaced traditional religions. Tracing a wide range of groups - radical environmental activists, lifestyle-focused bioregionalists, surfers, new-agers involved in "ecopsychology", and groups that hold scientific narratives as sacred - Taylor addresses a central theoretical question.

One friend said he had never known an unhappier woman. The tale of Princess Margaret is Cinderella in reverse: hope dashed, happiness mislaid, life mishandled.
