The Green Kingdom is a walk through the living system beneath your feet. It’s not a gardening manual or a textbook. It’s a wake-up call. You’ll learn how plants breathe, fight, move without moving, and outsmart their predators. You’ll meet seeds that can wait a thousand years, vines that climb with purpose, fungi that carry messages between trees, and forests that remember. You’ll see why every bite of food, breath of air, and step you take still depends on a green machine quietly running in the background. This is how the world works.

Belonging is a book about how we are held in thrall to elements of our past. It speaks to the importance of attention and reflection, and will encourage us all to look and observe and ask questions of ourselves.

For most of human history nature was held to be sacred and our God or gods were believed to be present everywhere in nature. When people in the West began to separate God and nature in the 17th century, it was not just a profound breach with thousands of years of accumulated wisdom and experience: it was also the root of how we have come to plunder the natural world and to promote our individual selves in unhealthy and destructive ways. Karen Armstrong argues that if we want to avert the looming environmental catastrophe, it is not enough to change our behaviour.
