How Things Come Together is a collection, in three parts, of essays and occasional writings by Hanna Newcombe. In these chapters, which started out as separate essays written at different times, sometimes prompted by something I read, I try to express my view of the world. It is gathered from science, religion, and mythology, sometimes deliberately mixing elements which many consider immiscible. I believe that science and religion should not merely coexist coolly and distantly as two solitudes, but come to share a warm embrace.
