The debate between proponents of Darwinism and those of Intelligent Design has reached the status of a full-scale public battle. With stories of qualifying statements about evolution in public school textbooks and the recent 70th anniversary of the Scopes Monkey trial in the news, the question about our origins will not be put to rest. Following up his award-winning Doubts about Darwin, Thomas Woodward traces the continuing saga of the ID movement in Darwin Strikes Back. Focusing on the emerging key players on both sides--Michael Behe, William Dembski, Kenneth Miller, Robert Pennock, and more--Woodward helps readers navigate the tangled maze of public debate, including anti-ID activism from Christians, and shows them what might be coming next.

This is a story about the determination of one man, solving a rather unique problem that threatens to destroy the entire human race. Sound familiar? Perhaps. Human technology of the early Twenty First Century has developed a space drive system that has one thing basically wrong with it – it works too well. Two test and evaluation flights, that were to make small forays into space, but remain near the solar system, have jumped to a position in the Milky Way Galaxy twenty-five thousand light years from Earth. The problem is not only to determine where they went, but also how to get them back once they are found. Noted astrophysicist, Dr. Samuel Ugo, has just been pulled from this project in order to solve a more pressing problem, one that threatens to destroy all of Earth’s inhabitants in a very short time. He is called upon to get rid of a menace closer to home. Basically, his current problem centers around bugs. Spiders really. Giant spiders, to be specific. Giant spiders living in Earth’s clouds, and creating all sorts of havoc, to be more specific. Not ordinary spiders by any stretch of the word, these giants are twice as large as basketballs. They look like daddy longlegs, sometimes called Harvestmen, graze like cows, for what, is not known, and in a relatively short time, begin raising all kinds of hell with the population. In addition to ridding the clouds of the spiders, there are associated problems that Sam must solve: Who put them there? Why is the temperature and humidity increasing so rapidly, and why are he and his lovely daughter, Sharon, hearing voices? As far as his technical training is concerned, Sam is the perfect person for this job. Physically, Sam has no business doing what he is doing. He suffers from degenerative arthritis, limiting his ability to move around, and he harbors a secret he believes not many people know. On top of all this, Sam is an alcoholic. It’s not Sam’s fault, however. Sam has been using the false courage provided by the alcohol to help him to get through his day. His personal phobia is one acquired by him during an episode in his early childhood: Sam is arachnaphobic! He is deathly afraid of spiders of any size, let alone the giants living in the clouds. Sam knows he will need help, big time. In addition to his intelligent daughter, Sam calls upon a friend who is an entomologist. Together, these three acting as a team, and aided by Sam’s faithful secretary, devise a method of defeating the spiders. Just how dangerous can spiders become living in the clouds? For one thing, airplanes can’t fly without collisions occurring, killing all the passengers as well as some of the spiders. In fact, that’s how the spiders are found out. There is yet another danger, not readily apparent. You see, the density of the wet clouds is changing, because the temperature and the humidity of the Earth are increasing. To support the spiders, naturally. And the changes are happening at a rate faster than the human race can adapt. Something or somebody is causing this. There also are aliens involved, who watch all this take place from a space ship hidden behind Triton. They have been there for two hundred of Earth’s years, brain washing selected humans. Via a tiny transponder located on the Moon, they monitor the progress of the space ventures, and the reaction to the spider problem. Mankind is being given a test. As if all this isn’t enough, the spiders come down from the clouds, to the surface of Earth, and really begin causing problems. They are carnivorous. To further add an insult to injury, the spiders are filled with Hydrogen. It helps them to remain aloft. But, whenever anyone tries to destroy a spider, say with a f

The most successful film franchise of all time, Star Wars thrillingly depicts an epic multigenerational conflict fought a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. But the Star Wars saga has as much to say about successful strategies and real-life warfare waged in our own time and place. Strategy Strikes Back brings together over thirty of today’s top military and strategic experts, including generals, policy advisors, seasoned diplomats, counterinsurgency strategists, science fiction writers, war journalists, and ground‐level military officers, to explain the strategy and the art of war by way of the Star Wars films. Each chapter of Strategy Strikes Back provides a relatable, outside‐the‐box way to simplify and clarify the complexities of modern military conflict. A chapter on the case for planet building on the forest moon of Endor by World War Z author Max Brooks offers a unique way to understand our own sustained engagement in war-ravaged societies such as Afghanistan. Another chapter on the counterinsurgency waged by Darth Vader against the Rebellion sheds light on the logic behind past military incursions in Iraq. Whether using the destruction of Alderaan as a means to explore the political implications of targeting civilians, examining the pivotal decisions made by Yoda and the Jedi Council to differentiate strategic leadership in theory and in practice, or considering the ruthlessness of Imperial leaders to explain the toxicity of top-down leadership in times of war and battle, Strategy Strikes Back gives fans of Star Wars and aspiring military minds alike an inspiring and entertaining means of understanding many facets of modern warfare. It is a book as captivating and enthralling as Star Wars itself.

With “a style that brings to mind Mark Twain, Art Buchwald, and Garrison Keillor” (People), Patrick F. McManus delivers another stellar collection of witty cautionary tales of the great outdoors in The Good Samaritan Strikes Again. Gathering together twenty-four of his hilarious essays—originally published in such magazines as Outdoor Life—this volume features not only McManus’s follies with Mother Nature, but those of human nature as he shares such funny moments of his life as his first kiss, his public relations career, his less than helpful attempt to be a good Samaritan to an injured motorist, and so much more.

The stunning new novel from the highly-acclaimed author of The Panopticon It's November of 2020, and the world is freezing over. Each day colder than the last. There's snow in Israel, the Thames is overflowing, and an iceberg separated from the Fjords in Norway is expected to drift just off the coast of Scotland. As ice water melts into the Atlantic, frenzied London residents evacuate by the thousands for warmer temperatures down south. But not Dylan. Grieving and ready to build life anew, he heads north to bury his mother's and grandmother's ashes on the Scottish islands where they once lived. Hundreds of miles away, twelve-year-old Estella and her survivalist mother, Constance, scrape by in the snowy, mountainous Highlands, preparing for a record-breaking winter. Living out of a caravan, they spend their days digging through landfills, searching for anything with restorative and trading value. When Dylan arrives in their caravan park in the middle of the night, life changes course for Estella and Constance. Though the weather worsens, his presence brings a new light to daily life, and when the ultimate disaster finally strikes, they'll all be ready. Written in incandescent, dazzling prose, The Sunlight Pilgrims is a visionary story of courage and resilience in the midst of nature's most violent hour; by turns an homage to the portentous beauty of our natural world, and to just how strong we can be, if the will and the hope is there, to survive its worst. - NPR “Best Books of 2016” – Family Matters, Identity & Culture, Science Fiction & Fantasy, and Tales from Around the World

Named one of Granta's Best of Young British Novelists Anais Hendricks, fifteen, is in the back of a police car. She is headed for the Panopticon, a home for chronic young offenders. She can't remember what’s happened, but across town a policewoman lies in a coma and Anais is covered in blood. Raised in foster care from birth and moved through twenty-three placements before she even turned seven, Anais has been let down by just about every adult she has ever met. Now a counterculture outlaw, she knows that she can only rely on herself. And yet despite the parade of horrors visited upon her early life, she greets the world with the witty, fierce insight of a survivor. Anais finds a sense of belonging among the residents of the Panopticon—they form intense bonds, and she soon becomes part of an ad-hoc family. Together, they struggle against the adults that keep them confined. But when she looks up at the watchtower that looms over the residents, Anais realizes her fate: She is an anonymous part of an experiment, and she always was. Now it seems that the experiment is closing in. Now with Extra Libris material, including a reader’s guide and bonus content
