Retired Professor of Dermatology John Burton has long been puzzled as to why such intelligent, educated and well-meaning people as the Archbishop of Canterbury and Richard Dawkins can arrive at such opposite conclusions with regard to God.

As a medical scientist he considered that the 7-Day Creation story is unlikely to be true, but he also knew that some biochemists and physicists are becoming ever more spiritual as they realise that maybe Man will never be able to explain all the mysteries of the astounding complexity of Life and the Universe.

This fascinating book gives an overview of modern science as it relates to religion – ranging from the sublime beauty of mathematics and the staggering concepts of physics, through the central thicket of biology and medicine to the new science of evolutionary psychology, which claims that animals are capable of altruistic behaviour and suggests that spirituality can evolve as a result of natural selection.

If you’d like to understand Wormholes, Parallel Universes, what drives Suicide Bombers, and why people seem to need religion, this breezy book is for you.

Eczema and the Sun

It’s that time of year again - and after this week’s mini heatwave we have noticed that many of our visitors are seeking advice on eczema and the sun and sun cream information.

The sun can be a blessing or a curse for those with eczema, with some people’s eczema responding well to the sun whilst others experience flare ups.  However, it is possible to enjoy the warmer weather with a bit of advance planning and by taking a few precautions.

We have updated our Eczema and the Sun Factsheet together with our Sunscreen Ingredients List.  These can be found here.

For further information about dealing with eczema and the sun we have an article available in the shop for just £1.00.
