For most people in England today the church is simply the empty building at the end of theroad visited for the first time if at all when dead It offers its sacraments to a population that lives without rites of passage & which regards the National Health Service rather than the National Church as its true spiritual guardian In Our Church Scruton argues that the Anglican Church is the forlorn trustee of an architectural & artistic inheritance that remains one of the treasures of European civilization He contends that it is a still point in the centre of English culture & that its defining texts the King James Bible & the Book of Common Prayer are the sources from which much of our national identity derives At once an elegy to a vanishing world & a clarion call to recognize Anglicanism's continuing relevance Our Church is a graceful & persuasive book ...

Our universe seems strangely biophilic or hospitable to life Is this happenstance providence or coincidence? According to cosmologist Martin Rees the answer depends on the answer to another question the one posed by Einstein's famous remark What interests me most is whether God could have made the world differently This highly engaging book explores the fascinating consequences of the answer being yes Rees explores the notion that our universe is just a part of a vast multiverse or ensemble of universes in which most of the other universes are lifeless What we call the laws of nature would then be no more than local bylaws imposed in the aftermath of our own Big Bang In this scenario our cosmic habitat would be a special possibly unique universe where the prevailing laws of physics allowed life to emerge Rees begins by exploring the nature of our solar system & examining a range of related issues such as whether our universe is or isn't infinite He asks for example How likely is life? How credible is the Big Bang theory? Rees then peers into the long-range cosmic future before tracing the causal chain backward to the beginning He concludes by trying to untangle the paradoxical notion that our entire universe stretching 10 billion light-years in all directions emerged from an infinitesimal speck As Rees argues we may already have intimations of other universes But the fate of the multiverse concept depends on the still-unknown bedrock nature of space & time on scales a trillion trillion times smaller than atoms in the realm governed by the quantum physics of gravity Expanding our comprehension of the cosmos Our Cosmic Habitat will be read & enjoyed by all those--scientists & nonscientists alike--who are as fascinated by the universe we inhabit as is the author himself ...
