The text has some sentences that will sound delightful to little ears as little eyes view the water babies: "They swish and swoosh. Getting used to the off-center noses of the babies requires a little time-probably more for adults than children. The range of skin and hair types is commendable, even including one adult-child combination of nonmatching skin. As the story continues, readers see Leo and Daddy interact lovingly throughout, from sitting together on a big chair-viewing a swim-class brochure-to changing into proper swim attire in the locker room and taking part in a class that features a pool full of other happy baby-and-adult pairs. He is like a little fish!" A smiling Leo is in sudsy bath water, his dark, curly head and brown body held up by a pair of strong, brown, adult arms. Leo is back (Leo Loves Baby Time, 2014, etc.), and now he happily attends a community swim class with Daddy.

This migrating Neolithic niche presumably put additional pressures on Europeans to adapt to a new diet in a novel environment. Such is the case with domestication that was developed in the sunny warm climates of the Middle East and spread throughout Europe from east‐to‐west and south‐to‐north by 6,000 years ago (4000 BCE) (Pinhasi et al., 2005). Unlike other organisms, humans have the ability to carry or adopt a niche that was constructed in one particular environment to new and novel environments. The best known example of adaptation to the Neolithic diet is the spread of the lactase persistence allele allowing the consumption of milk postweaning (Cochran and Harpending, 2009 Laland and O'Brien, 2010 Gerbault et al., 2011 Rogers, 2011). An example of culturally induced niche construction is the Neolithic diet, with a shift to domestication, beginning in the Middle East about 11,000 years ago (Cordain et al., 2002 Laland and O'Brien, 2010). This process of niche construction may affect the direction of evolution (Odling‐Smee et al., 1996 Laland and Brown, 2006). Humans not only adapt to their environment but also, alter their immediate environment by extracting food and water, and developing shelter and technologies. I'll always cherish that part of me that thinks of nature as a friend. But human beings are part of the animal kingdom too, and perhaps us people with autism still have some left-over awareness of this, buried somewhere deep down. You might think that it's not possible that nature could be a friend, not really. Nature calms me down when I'm furious, and laughs with me when I'm happy. This sensation is so amazing that I forget that I'm a human being, and one with special needs to boot. Just by looking at nature, I feel as if I'm being swallowed up into it, and in that moment I get the sensation that my body's now a speck, a speck from long before I was born, a speck that is melting into nature herself. nature is always there at hand to wrap us up, gently: glowing, swaying, bubbling, rustling. “We do take pleasure in one thing that you probably won't be able to guess. A rare and important insight into the mind of an autistic child, in his own words. Hayao Miyazaki is one of Japan’s most beloved animation directors.

Suitable for readers aged 10+ the language in Blaze of Gory will challenge some readers but overwhelmingly works well to create a very balanced, thrilling and enjoyable read. Pryor has used a military approach to his fantasy-a refreshing change from much recent fantasy fiction-and there is a great sense of humour running throughout the novel, engendering a real affection for the sometimes arrogant but mostly endearing Aubrey. As the novel is an historical fiction, it is peopled by powerful political figures like Prince Albert, lending a familiarity to the action of the novel without sacrificing the excitement and drama. In Blaze of Glory, Aubrey and his ever-loyal friend George team up with the feisty Caroline Hepworth to uncover a mystery that could bring their country to the brink of war. Blaze of Glory by Michael Pryor introduces us to a world of intrigue, conspiracy and magical mistrust as young Aubrey Fitzwilliam tries to save his kidnapped father from those who would send his country to war to further their plans for political domination.
