" ... In the UK it may be that the coffins of Winston Churchill and George Orwell still dominate. Both were about a land of moderation, pragmatism, empiricism, caution. But proud and in need of a heroic narrative. The need for sublime narrative is still there and the likes of Boris Johnson, sadly, are among the few who realize its power. In periods of uncertainty we all want our stories to make sense, to be coherent, to adhere to their own internal logic, if nothing else. ... "
" ... The artists responsible for Future Garden are unusual in their own right. Helen and Newton Harrison began combining art and ecology in the late 1960s, pioneering a mixture of political activism and scientific empiricism that Newton continues to pursue following Helen's death several months ago. Their earliest projects contended with agricultural issues.

This is not a book of thou musts, but a book about how weigh to the welfare of the entire family, parents included, under varying levels of uncertainty about costs and benefits.

" ... With the emphasis on establishing causality among observable events, the scientific method relies very heavily on empiricism. Empiricism is a philosophy relying on direct experience to draw conclusions about the world and events in it. For example, if I am attending an evening event and I sense a women's fragrance, and observe who is wearing it, than I can say that my sense of smell caused the second reaction to observe who was wearing it. Not only am I identifying cause and effect, but also I do so by relying on my sense of smell. ... "
