He reminisces about the places he's seen and the people he's met, describes meals he's eaten and waxes poetical about those who have gone before.

Until then the last known Quercus tardifolia tree was believed to have died more than a decade earlier. In this explosive autobiography he opens up on the many controversies he has been involved in, including the Chris Cairns affair and the leadership change from Ross Taylor. Despite rediscoveries like the oak tree in Texas, the world is still losing biodiversity at dangerously high rates. The whole book meanders back and forth through time and place as Taylor's memories flit around, landing for a moment hither and yon. Boris Johnson and his wife Carrie, whose rivalry with Dominic Cummings reportedly led to the adviser’s dismissal.It would have been a better read if additional political aspects were addressed such as details on the Venezuelan government or the US congress which was apparently in recess while an undeclared war was prosecuted. And what she was doing in the performance was putting the words back together, making them intelligible.

Philip’s first novel, Harriet’s Daughter, was published in England in 1988, after a string of rejections from Canadian presses that felt the all-Black cast of characters was unsuited for the local market. As the godly consideration of Predestination, and our Election in Christ, is full of sweet, pleasant, and unspeakable comfort to godly persons, and such as feel in themselves the working of the Spirit of Christ, mortifying the works of the flesh, and their earthly members, and drawing up their mind to high and heavenly things, as well because it doth greatly establish and confirm their faith of eternal Salvation to be enjoyed through Christ, as because it doth fervently kindle their love towards God: So, for curious and carnal persons, lacking the Spirit of Christ, to have continually before their eyes the sentence of God's Predestination, is a most dangerous downfal, whereby the Devil doth thrust them either into desperation, or into wretchlessness of most unclean living, no less perilous than desperation. And in the moving final pages, Taylor warns us against the trappings of nostalgia, leaving me with the feeling that Taylor is not only writing about the city of Naples, but about all cities we come to love or hate (or sometimes both). Of all the things I love about Naples Declared, the thing I love most is how it chronicles the way one person followed his interest in a place. Being by God's Ordinance, according to Our just Title, Defender of the Faith, and Supreme Governor of the Church, within these Our Dominions, We hold it most agreeable to this Our Kingly Office, and Our own religious Zeal, to conserve and maintain the Church committed to Our Charge, in Unity of true Religion, and in the Bond of Peace; and not to suffer unnecessary Disputations, Altercations, or Questions to be raised, which may nourish Faction both in the Church and Commonwealth.

Predestination to Life is the everlasting purpose of God, whereby (before the foundations of the world were laid) he hath constantly decreed by his counsel secret to us, to deliver from curse and damnation those whom he hath chosen in Christ out of mankind, and to bring them by Christ to everlasting salvation, as vessels made to honour. He gave no other thought to a different way of running No 10 after the landslide than relying still on Dom almost exclusively, though he started to resent the fact that Dom would treat him if not like Jeeves and Wooster, then perhaps like the lord protector with a young and inexperienced king,” said Gove.

An award-winning environmental journalist, his work has appeared in Scientific American, Audubon, Motherboard, and numerous other magazines and publications. Original Sin standeth not in the following of Adam, (as the Pelagians do vainly talk;) but it is the fault and corruption of the Nature of every man, that naturally is ingendered of the offspring of Adam; whereby man is very far gone from original righteousness, and is of his own nature inclined to evil, so that the flesh lusteth always contrary to the spirit; and therefore in every person born into this world, it deserveth God's wrath and damnation. I liked the feel of the book in this small paperback version and the small black and white photos were nice additions.A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. All are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law. so this thin book is very well written and very entertaining, ranging from vico to augustus, auden to Michelangelo merisi (Caravaggio) and his lots of nice pictures.
