Beschreibung
How did life begin? How does it end? What happens to those qualities that make each of us alive as individuals after the bodies they animated die and disappear?
Taking inspiration from Sir David Attenborough's maxim 'Nature wastes nothing' and drawing on the wisdom of commentators as varied as NASA astronauts, the Dalai Lama, existential philosophers, a couple of prescient teenagers and even an engagingly 'human' gorilla - Hope . . . and the Hedgehog distils the thinking behind the principal interpretations of creation, before presenting them to the reader in an easily digestible summary.
This is not a religious book and nor does it extol religion - rather it offers the same kind of assurance Bear Grylls presents to his readers. In the same way, it helps unpick the enduring puzzle that prompted Steve Jobs, creator and co-founder of Apple, to enigmatically describe death as 'Very likely the single best invention of life.' Which reinforces the importance of hope addressed here.

Über den Autor
In 1966, with a £200 loan from a local bank in the small market town of Ross-on-Wye, Tom Vaughan and his brother co-founded and built up the company that became Juliana's Holdings Plc - the world's largest discotheque entertainment group of its time, employing over 800 people worldwide. In 1986 the company was underwritten by Morgan Grenfell in a highly successful public offering on the main market of the London Stock Exchange - three times oversubscribed at the time of floatation. In their early days, when Tom and his brother were hands-on disc jockeys, Juliana's discotheques played at all the high-end parties of the deb season in the 1960s and early 1970s, becoming a household name throughout the UK. Juliana's played at Queen Charlotte's Ball every year. Juliana's played for leading fashion houses when they launched their new collections. Juliana's played at the Investiture Ball for the Prince of Wales at Caernarvon Castle. Tom Vaughan was also a director of Mulberry Plc and the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.
