This quarter we unveil our latest project and present a range of articles, papers and poems connecting to contemporary social and conceptual developments, from the Occupy Wall Street Movement to Neutrinos.The Ayman series continues to remind us of the importance of the environment to our wellbeing through the lens of agriculture. With the new regular feature, News from around the globe, we highlight events which impact and speak to the conditions in which we live and those that we work towards. In this issue we also reflect on one of the most respected men in Malaysia in the area of Law, underlining the central theme this quarter, of manmade and natural laws. Dr Khalil from Oxford writes in this edition on the relations between Science and Religion in an educative manner that will no doubt benefit students of the subject.  In the first of a new series of reports on the War on Iraq and its effects to both sides, we search for any signs of benefit.
