Dr. Dave Hodgson is an ecologist, working at the Centre for Ecology and Conservation on the Cornwall (U.K.) campus of the University of Exeter. He lives in the middle of Cornwall and enjoys views of the North and South coasts. He and Penny share their house and garden with Merlin, the magic dog, and Patch and Bridget, the depraved bunnies. When not studying the maintenance of biodiversity, he plays drums for warblefly, the kickingest trad-punk band this side of anywhere.
Description
This is one essay from the anthology Navigating the Golden Compass
The His Dark Materials series is an unusual sort of young adult series: one that appeals to adults as much as if not more than to their children, thanks to its richly imagined world and unflinching exploration of life’s greatest questions.
This anthology includes essays ranging from what Dust has in common with drugs to the position of children in contrast to other YA series, to what His Dark Materials has to say about the scientific and religious practices of our modern era.
