“Humans today love to look into their dogs’ eyes to “read” their emotions; it is part of bonding. Dogs apparently feel the same and will gaze into a human’s eyes in an attempt to communicate. The mutation that originally produced the white sclera trait in humans can be viewed as a key aid to reciprocal communication with dogs and may have been instrumental in the survival of our species over Neanderthals.”
Pat Shipman, The Invaders: How Humans and Their Dogs Drove Neanderthals to Extinction

August by Gerard Woodward
by Gerard Woodward
It has become a tradition for Aldous Jones to take his family camping in Wales, and he has started to feel that a certain symbiosis has developed between their North London home and the Welsh village that they only ever see in August. However, as the years pass, Aldous's family idyll starts to disintegrate and the farm becomes a place drenched in memory.
