For seventeen-year-old Brid Stevens the day began at four oclock on a summer morning when her alarm clock roused her from a dream-filled sleep. She had an appointment to keep with Joe Lloyd whom she had met at the weekly dance. On the cliff-top at Stockwell Hill overlooking the sea they were to watch the sun come up. What was to occur after that was to bring a day of such promise to a tragic end." The events of this powerful novel set on the Northumbrian coast in the 1960s take place over one day a period during which everyone involved discovers that the consequences of an innocent meeting between two young people are far more significant than the event itself. " The Bonny Dawn" is a remarkable "tour de force" by Britains most popular novelist." ...

In this engaging book leading primatologist & thinker Frans de Waal offers an illuminating new perspective on human nature. Bringing together his pioneering research on primate behaviour the latest findings in evolutionary biology & insights from moral philosophy de Waal explains that we don't need the spectres of God or the law in order to act morally. Instead our moral nature stems from our biology
- specifically our primate social emotions which include empathy reciprocity & fairness. We can glimpse this in the behaviour of our closest relatives in the animal kingdom: chimpanzees soothe distressed neighbours & bonobos will voluntarily open a door to offer a companion access to their own food. Building on a wealth of evidence de Waal reveals that morality is not dictated to us by religion or social strictures but is the product of our biological nature.
