Dark Prayer
This book brings together the letters David Wood has written over the past eighteen years to the Community of the Three Hours, a network of people who have committed themselves to the hidden task of silent prayer for the peace of the world for some or all of the hours between twelve and three each Friday.To engage in this kind of prayer is to enter dark territory where indeed all words fail, where all one can do it to watch and wait. It is a call to be faithful to the commitment and not to expect to see tangible results.As David Scott writes in his Foreword: 'Believers experience an entry into darkness, a cloud of unknowing which is a test of faith... References to this tradition of prayer are taken from The Cloud of Unknowing, Henry Vaughan's poems, and Meister Eckhart's writings.' But the most powerful references are to contemporary experiences of darkness: Nelson Mandela's, Bosnia, the Shoah, the Twin Towers, and the film Trainspotting. Complementing the letters are contributions from Robert Gallagher, Anna Briggs, Doug Constable, and Stephen Brown.
Deep Time, Dark Times
The new geological epoch we call the Anthropocene is not just a scientific classification. It marks a radical transformation in the background conditions of life on Earth, one taken for granted by much of who we are and what we hope for. Never before has a species possessed both a geological-scale grasp of the history of the Earth and a sober understanding of its own likely fate. Our situation forces us to confront questions both philosophical and of real practical urgency. We need to rethink who “we” are, what agency means today, how to deal with the passions stirred by our circumstances, whether our manner of dwelling on Earth is open to change, and, ultimately, “What is to be done?...

In the Shadow of Amiantus
The person you love most, your soul mate, is dying from a vile, rare, painful, incurable cancer. You have to watch on, helplessly, as she struggles with the mental and physical pain, knowing you can do nothing to fix it, or take it away from her. She never complains, or wears her illness like a badge. History is repeating itself, bringing back similar, painful memories from years ago. What do you do? Well in reality there is nothing you can do, except care and love. Do you ask your God for help? Why do bad things happen to good people? David writes about his feelings of loss, desolation, and impending loss, sometimes using explicit language. But also injects humour, because it helps him survive. His thoughts lead from places and things which inspire, to real heroes, then to others, some of whom are in positions of authority, and would never match up, because they bulge with self importance. His thoughts, sometimes bizarre and banal, through unpretentious verse, short stories, and biographical episodes, provide an insight as to what drives him on, taking the lead from his lover and best friend, to never give up, and to survive.
Around the World in 80 Rounds
David Wood's Around the World in 80 Rounds is humorous, insightful, inspiring, and laugh out loud funny. Wood ventures from the southernmost tip of South America to the very top of Norway, and everywhere in between. Along the way he plays the world's most extreme golf courses: the northernmost, the southernmost, the highest, the driest, the hottest, and every strange locale he can find. But this isn't just a book about just golf. It's about travel, and risks, and leaving your comfort zone to pursue your dreams.

Eco-Deconstruction
Eco-Deconstruction marks a new approach to the degradation of the natural environment, including habitat loss, species extinction, and climate change. While the work of French philosopher Jacques Derrida (1930–2004), with its relentless interrogation of the anthropocentric metaphysics of presence, has already proven highly influential in posthumanism and animal studies, the present volume, drawing on published and unpublished work by Derrida and others, builds on these insights to address the most pressing environmental issues of our time. The volume brings together fifteen prominent scholars, from a wide variety of related fields, including eco-phenomenology, eco-hermeneutics, new materia...
