A MESSAGE FROM THE TEAM

As summer melts into autumn, one of the more discrete seasonal changes you may notice is our days becoming shorter. We all know that the approaching winter will come with dim, cold mornings, dark skies before five and shivering fingers. Thankfully, and although we’ll miss the sun, there are other forms of light that will always be present in our lives: whether that is the warmth of a fireplace, a string of fairy lights, the flame of a Jack’o lantern, or just the comfort of the people you love. This month’s theme, “Light”, discovers the many contexts in which light and its effects on our lives can be found. 

Settle in for a spooky read featuring a mysterious bunker, explore the origin of fire as told by Greek Mythology, or get philosophical with Plato and his metaphors for society. These are just a few of the articles our writers have contributed this month - all of which we dearly hope you will take the time to appreciate. 

Happy Halloween, and enjoy the read!
