The first, and perhaps most important, tenet of Burke’s political advise is the importance of compromise: So permit me to jot down some of these ideas. I feel slightly odd saying such things about a proud monarchist, and a founder of modern conservatism but I cannot deny being captivated by his way of thinking. He is full of perspicacious insights into politics, and wise maxims of government. ![]() He is a master of the written word, and a pleasure to read.īut, as I said, Burke is far more than a silver-tongued sophist. A dazzling piece of rhetoric it surely is Burke’s writing style is in a league with Gibbon’s for eloquence, elegance, and power. “Burke is such a good writer,” he told me, “that he momentarily convinced me that monarchy is a great idea.” A writer good enough to do that, I thought, was worth a read and since I recently read Thomas Paine’s refutation of Burke’s attack on the French Revolution, The Rights of Man, it seemed like the perfect time to give Burke a go.īut now, after reading this book, I think it is far more than a dazzling piece of rhetoric.

About 500m years ago, fungi facilitated the movement of aquatic plants on to land, fungal mycelium serving as plant root systems for tens of millions of years until plants could evolve their own. ![]() These networks should be regarded as a global public good to be mapped, protected and restored as a matter of urgency.įungi lie at the base of the food webs that support much of life on Earth. ![]() This is a problem: the destruction of underground fungal networks accelerates both climate change and biodiversity loss and interrupts vital global nutrient cycles.
