I have been reflecting on my most enjoyable reads of this year. They have been science/philosophy books that have opened my eyes to new ways of seeing and understanding the world: #EntangledLife by @MerlinSheldrake , and #TheHumanCosmos by @JoMarchant . Both highly recommended!

Happy publication day to the brilliant @JoMarchant! #TheHumanCosmos is a book to savour and reread. Get yours NOW!
