This sweeping epic of the relationship between ourselves and the natural world is not only amazing, it is breathtaking in its breadth and ambition. Weaving together the story threads of nine character whose lives have been deeply affected by trees and forests, the non-linear narratives join the nine from their initial captivations with nature to their political empowerment as they eventually join forces as activists. The writing is in turns beautiful, suspensful, and fascinating, as when two of the characters live on a tree stand an ancient redwood to protect it from loggers. Those passages are nothing less than revelatory. A must read for anyone who has enjoyed a walk in the woods and who would like to do so agin.

A book that has guided my travels in Ireland this year, and will be a valuable reference guide for years to come.
The Power of Centre is the second in a series of three books on Sacred Landscapes. The first 'The Spine of Albion' explored the hidden lines of power across the UK and Ireland. This book explores the centre places and focal points of the UK and Ireland, from the geographical middle-places to modern centres of power. The Celts believed that an invisible power exists at the centre of the land, a power that can be used to control the destiny of mankind, and access time through the concept of the 'axis mundi'.
