Dog's Conundrum

Beschreibung

Dog has a problem. His beautiful world is in crisis - again! Should he let events take their course, or should he interfere? This book is an invitation to see planet Earth through the eyes of Dog and Mother Nature, from the era of the dinosaurs, though times of plenty, to our current and future crises. Who's to blame? Is it us? Is it them? This magical read takes us on an insightful journey where individual stories from around the world blend and unfold as Dog's intimate understanding of the big picture grows. Despite the gremlins, can humans recognise what it is really that matters? Will the warmth and humour of the sprites be strong enough to help people rediscover the wisdom in their souls when faced with fear of losing everything they hold dear... or will Mother Nature not be prepared to wait any longer? The best and worst of human nature is exposed here. Our assumptions are challenged as this book digs deep into ideas which will resonate with many.

His father was in the RAF and some of his childhood was spent in Africa, Singapore, Germany and Malaysia which ignited his love of travel. He trained and worked as an illustrator but working in isolation did not suit his personality, so he became involved in art and design education, spending two years as a lecturer at Yarmouk University in Jordan followed by other educational posts in the UK. He is currently the artist in residence for the National Trust at Nymans Gardens where he has been since 2012. John continues to travel abroad with his family enjoying the different cultures, physical geography and natural history of the planet which has inspired him to write.
