tHe Humble lIttle ConDom

Aine Collier
The story of this humble piece of paraphernalia is full of
intriguing insights into human character with all its flaws
and foibles as well as many fascinating historical details.
O
ne of the most basic—and ancient—forms of birth control is the condom.
Utilized by all cultures for millennia, and referred to by many colorful euphe-
misms—baudruche, preservativo, machine, peau divine, rubber, and safety—
it has featured in the lives, loves, and letters of some of the most famous men in
history. Shakespeare, Casanova, George Bernard Shaw, to mention only a few, all
appreciated and wrote about the importance of using “preventatives.”
Aine Collier provides a unique glimpse into human sexual habits, customs, beliefs,
and attitudes in this first history of the prophylactic device that goes back to at least
the ancient Egyptians. As she amply demonstrates, the story of this humble piece of
paraphernalia is full of intriguing insights into human character with all its flaws and
foibles as well as many fascinating historical details:
• Clergymen of the Middle Ages have left records of birth control
methods, including condoms, documenting just “what worked.”
• The modern history of the condom begins when Columbus’s men
returned from the New World infected with the “Great Pox” (syphilis).
This led to the rediscovery of the condom as a disease preventative.
• Sixteenth-century Italian anatomist Gabriello Fallopio (discoverer of the
Fallopian tube) should be considered the father of the modern condom;
he was the first to add a pink ribbon to his sheaths, a flourish that
remained standard for centuries.
• When women had few choices in the world of commerce, a significant
number found a legitimate and profitable business niche producing
and selling sheaths.
• During the Great Depression, while other businesses went bankrupt,
condom manufacturers found themselves doing a booming trade

Barbara oakley
Foreword by David Sloan Wilson, author of Evolution for Everyone: How Darwin's Theory Can
Change the Way We Think About Our Lives
Preface by Jim Phelps, MD, author of Why Am I Still Depressed? and Founder of PsychEducation.org
A tour de force of popular science writing that brilliantly

melds scientific research with intriguing family history and
puts both a human and a scientific face to evil.
H
ave you ever met a person who left you wondering, “How could someone be so
twisted? So evil ?” Prompted by clues in her sister’s diary after her mysterious
death, author Barbara Oakley takes the reader inside the head of the kinds of
malevolent people you know, perhaps all too well, but could never understand.
Starting with psychology as a frame of reference, Oakley uses cutting-edge images
of the working brain to provide startling support for the idea that “evil” people act the
way they do mainly as the result of a dysfunction. In fact, some deceitful, manipula-
tive, and even sadistic behavior appears to be programmed genetically—suggesting
that some people really are born to be bad. But there are unexpected fringe benefits
to “evil genes.” We may not like them—but we literally can’t live without them.
Oakley deftly ties together the big picture implications of revolutionary neuroscien-
tific and genetic discoveries, showing the eerily similar behavioral tics of Mao, Stalin,
Hitler, and Slobodan Milosevic. The dramatic recent scientific findings presented in
Evil Genes shed light not only on dictators far afield, but on politics at home, as well
as business, religion, and everyday life. In fact, history itself has been shaped by the
strange confluence of genes and environment that science is just now beginning to
understand.
Oakley links the latest findings of molecular research to a wide array of seemingly
unrelated historical and current phenomena, from the harems of the Ottomans and the POPULAR SCIENCE / POPULAR PSYCHOLOGY
chummy jokes of “Uncle Joe” Stalin, to the remarkable memory of investor Warren
Buffet. Throughout, she never loses sight of the personal cost of evil genes as she
unravels the mystery surrounding her sister’s enigmatic life—and death.

unDer tHe gun In Iraq
My Year Training the Iraqi Police
robert Cole, as told to Jan hogan
“One moment, I was standing there with my buddies unloading a truck. The next
moment, my ears picked up the distinct ‘pssst’ sound homing in on us… .
“‘Hit the ground!’ someone yelled.
“Right behind the first mortar was a second, then a third, then a fourth. They each
slammed into the earth with an enormous impact. The ground shook. The eight-story

“As I lay there with glass and debris raining down on me, all I could think was, ‘Holy

P
resident Bush is fond of saying, “When Iraq can stand up, America can stand
down.” A large part of “standing up” is having a well-trained police force in
place to maintain peace and order.
Why is it taking so long to put a solid police force together? How prepared are the
Iraqis to carry out their duties? What pitfalls are Americans facing as they try to get
Iraqi police up to speed?
In this book Robert Cole—a retired California police officer hired by DynCorp as an
international police trainer—presents a vivid account of the challenges of training the
Iraqis to handle their own security. In blunt, everyday language, Cole gives the reader
an unusually candid and often hair-raising glimpse into reality at the street level as
he and his colleagues navigate the dangerous sectors of Baghdad, Tikrit, and Kirkuk,
dodging explosions and bullets aimed at them by young Iraqi wannabe heroes.
Cole describes situations not shown in the media that fly in the face of the party

Winning the War on Terror by Breaking Free of Oil
robert Zubrin
“To win the war on terror, we need to remove the yoke of our oil depen-
dence and cut the flow of petrodollars to regimes that spread radical Islam.
Energy Victory is a bold, yet realistic plan to do just that. It is a vitally important
book about the most critical issue we face today.”
—Dr. Gal Luft, executive director
Institute for the Analysis of Global Security
I
n this compelling argument for a new direction in US energy policy, world-
renowned engineer and best-selling author Robert Zubrin lays out a bold plan for
breaking the economic stranglehold that the OPEC oil cartel has on our country and
the world. Zubrin presents persuasive evidence that our decades-long relationship
with OPEC has resulted in the looting of our economy, the corruption of our political
system, and now the funding and protection of terrorist regimes and movements that
are committed to our destruction. Debunking the false solutions and myths that have
deterred us from taking necessary action, Zubrin exposes the fakery that has allowed
many politicians—including current US President George W. Bush—to posture that
they are acting to resolve this problem while actually doing nothing significant toward
that goal.
Zubrin’s plan is straightforward and practical. He argues that if Congress passed
a law requiring that all new cars sold in the USA be flex-fueled—that is, able to run
on any combination of gasoline or alcohol fuels—this one action would destroy the
monopoly that the oil cartel has maintained on the globe’s transportation fuel supply,
opening it up to competition from alcohol fuels produced by farmers worldwide.
According to Zubrin’s estimates, within three years of enactment, such a regulation
would put 50 million cars on the road in the USA capable of running on high-alcohol
fuels, and at least an equal number overseas. He further advocates tariff policies
favoring alcohol over petroleum imports. POPULAR SCIENCE / CURRENT EVENTS
Energy Victory shows how we could be using fuel dollars that are now being sent to

An Owner’s Guide
John A. Elefteriades, MD, and

I
f you ask the average American what the leading cause of mortality in women is,
most would probably guess breast cancer. Even among physicians, attitudes and
assumptions about heart disease are influenced by the quintessential image of a
middle-aged man clutching his chest in pain. In fact, more women die each year from
heart disease than men, and the symptoms of heart problems in women are very dif-
ferent from those in men, making detection more difficult. Furthermore, the mortality
rate for women undergoing coronary artery bypass or angioplasty is three times that
for men. These are just some of the vital gender differences affecting the diagnosis
and treatment of heart disease in women.
In this enlightening guide to the woman’s heart, two leading heart specialists focus

Foreword by Bill Costello, CFO and President for QVC International, Inc.
Whether you are negotiating a deal, running a business,

or trying to climb the corporate ladder, a solid poker
strategy can prove invaluable.
E
ver since poker proliferated along the Mississippi in the early 1800s, it has
been the quintessential American game. Poker, if played correctly, embodies all
of the qualities cherished in our free society including ingenuity, hard work, and
perseverance. The ability to read and outwit your opponents, which is so essential
to success at the poker table, is equally important in forging ahead in a capitalist
society. Of course, luck is prevalent in all aspects of our lives, and anyone who has
spent time in a poker room can attest to the large and random role that luck plays. How
one deals with it can go a long way in determining success.
In this book, experienced poker player, tournament champion, attorney, and
businessman David Apostolico takes core poker philosophies and applies them to
various business situations. Readers learn how to develop a poker mind-set to help
them in all aspects of their business lives.
Apostolico, who has matched wits with the world’s top professionals on the invitation-
only Professional Poker Tour and negotiated mergers and acquisitions on Wall Street,
says there are no hard and fast rules to either poker or business success, yet the skills
involved in both are extremely similar. Reading the opposition, adapting to changing
circumstances, being innovative, and thinking like a winner are necessary to making BUSINESS / POKER

The Verdict
Neil vidmar and valerie P. hans
A
lthough the right to trial by jury is enshrined in the US Constitution, in recent
years both criminal and civil juries have been criticized as incompetent, biased,
and irresponsible. For example, the O. J. Simpson criminal jury’s verdict
produced a racial divide in opinions about that trial. And many Americans still hold
strong views about the jury that awarded millions of dollars to a woman who spilled a
cup of McDonald's coffee on herself. It’s said that there are “judicial hellholes” where
local juries provide “jackpot justice” in medical malpractice and product liability

Jack Levin
Foreword by Robert K. Ressler, FBI (ret.), Founder and Former Director of the
Violent Criminal Apprehension Program
A chilling glimpse into the minds of some

of the worst criminals.
A
fter twenty-five years of investigating, analyzing, and interviewing serial killers,
their family members, neighbors, and even surviving victims, Jack Levin has
become one of the world’s most respected experts on the motivations and
modus operandi of dangerous criminals. In this gripping book, he taps his wealth
of experience with the criminal mind to offer lessons for law enforcement and the
general public about how serial killers think, as well as the conditions under which
hideous murders typically occur. These lessons, he hopes, will lead to more effective
ways to thwart such crimes in the future.
Levin’s face-to-face meetings and correspondence with such notorious murderers
as the Hillside strangler (Kenneth Bianchi) and Orville Lynn Majors (the male nurse
who was convicted of killing numerous patients in his charge) reveal that these types
of killers are not motivated by money, revenge, or rage. In fact, the only motivation
seems to be a sadistic craving for power and a need to feel in control. Levin also, for
the first time, lets down his guard and reveals what it feels like to be seated so close
to such cold-blooded killers.
Many killers, as Levin points out, are meticulous planners. Levin has found that
even in situations that appear spontaneous, for instance a workplace shooting by a
disgruntled employee, the deed is carefully thought out and prepared for in advance. TRUE CRIME / CRIMINOLOGY
Another factor that consistently emerges in conversations with killers who have
committed the most heinous of acts is the total absence of remorse or any notion of Also by Jack Levin

continues to assert that Muslim animosity toward Jews is entirely a 20th-century
phenomenon fueled mainly by the protracted Arab-Israeli conflict, leading scholars
provide example after example of antisemitic motifs in Muslim documents reaching
back to the beginnings of Islam.

tHe paperbaCk apoCalYpse
How the Christian Church Was Left Behind
robert M. Price
T
he great popularity of The Left Behind novels by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins
attests to the strong appeal of apocalyptic beliefs in many conservative Christian
communities. As biblical scholar Robert M. Price reveals in this history and
critique of Christian end-time beliefs, LaHaye and Jenkins’s famous novels are just
the latest examples of a long tradition of popular fundamentalist eschatology.
Price traces the origin and scriptural basis, which is sometimes astonishingly
skimpy, for such beliefs as the Rapture, the Second Coming, the Antichrist, and
Messianic prophecy. He emphasizes that the writers of the New Testament consistently
set a first-century deadline for the return of Jesus Christ, and yet the stubborn fact
that the Second Coming obviously did not occur has not deterred fundamentalist
Christians from blindly predicting the event throughout the centuries up to the
present day.
RELIGION / LITERATURE
Price then critiques the raft of previous apocalyptic novels before turning to the
Left Behind series. He offers both literary and theological criticism, while explaining
the psychological appeal of the books. Finally, he offers a parody chapter on the Left
Behind series called “Tribulation Farce.”
With its approachable, engaging style, The Paperback Apocalypse makes complex
scholarly research accessible to the interested lay reader. Seminarians, religion
scholars, interested observers of the American religious scene, and even fans of the
Left Behind series will learn much from Price’s in-depth scholarship. A popular history and critique of

The Story of Stephen T. Early, America's First Modern Press Secretary
Linda Lotridge Levin
T
hough practically unknown to the public today, Stephen T. Early was one of the
most influential men in mid-twentieth-century America. As the press secretary
of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, he was chiefly responsible for getting the
president’s message out to the press and he helped to shape Roosevelt’s image in
the eyes of Americans through the dramatic years of the Great Depression and World
War II. It is no exaggeration to say that, had there been no Stephen Early, the
presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the longest-serving president in US history,
would probably have been limited to one term.
In an engrossing narrative that brings to life key people and events during a
calamitous time in American history, journalist Linda Lotridge Levin documents
how Early remade what had been just a routine White House briefing function into
the modern high-visibility role of today’s presidential press secretary. A highly
respected Associated Press reporter, Early launched a breathtaking reorganization
of the way government informed the public. For the first time, the president held two
news conferences a week. Under Early’s guidance, the press evolved from just print
journalism into the use of radio and newsreels, so he was the first press secretary to
have the luxury and the frustrations of dealing with both broadcast and print media
on a daily basis. Among his most important contributions, Early helped the president
create the famous “Fireside Chats,” which were a hallmark of Depression era and
wartime America.
Levin chronicles Early’s lifelong loyalty to Roosevelt and their close but sometimes-

Icon for a Nation
Brian holden reid
With a New Preface by the Author
Foreword by Julian Thompson
O
ne of the most impressive monuments to an American military hero is found
in Richmond, Virginia. Weighing twelve tons and standing almost sixty-two
feet high, this great marble statue depicts Gen. Robert E. Lee on horseback.
It projects an air of defiance as well as celebration, implying that, despite the tragic
outcome of the Civil War for the South, this general was not defeated. By the time this
monumental icon was unveiled in 1890, twenty years after Lee’s death, the apotheosis
of the great Confederate leader’s life and career was well underway. He came to
symbolize the great lost cause–the unfulfilled, idealized achievements that were central
to the romanticized imagery that quickly enveloped the Old South after the war.
In this in-depth examination of the career of Gen. Robert E. Lee, noted historian
Brian Holden Reid looks beyond the legend to arrive at an objective assessment of
the man and his military career. Holden Reid argues that Lee’s qualities as a general
do not require any exaggeration or embellishment. Tracing the military campaigns of
AMERICAN HISTORY / THE CIVIL WAR
the Civil War, he shows that Lee’s short period of field command, just under three
years, was marked by imagination, decisiveness, stamina, and a determination to win
the war against the better-equipped Union army, rather than just avoid losing it.
Some historians have criticized Lee’s offensive strategy as an error that became
ultimately self-defeating. By contrast, Holden Reid asserts that it was the only realistic
way for the Confederacy to win its independence. Nonetheless, he acknowledges that Looks beyond the legend to arrive

As a British historian, Holden Reid brings a fresh, detached eye to his evaluation of
General Lee, and in the end he presents an authoritative and balanced assessment of
a great American commander.
Marked by clarity of style and filled with fascinating historical details, this new
reconsideration of a legendary Southern general will be a welcome addition to the
bookshelves of Civil War enthusiasts as well as students and scholars of American
history and military history.

Calling on the New Talented Tenth
Kimberlee Nichole Payton
In 1903, W. E. B. Du Bois wrote a very influential essay entitled “The Talented Tenth,” in which he said it was the
responsibility of the best-educated and top-earning blacks in America to work toward uplifting the educational
and economic standards of all African Americans—in effect, to save the race. In this insightful assessment of
how far black Americans have come since Du Bois’s day, attorney Kimberlee Nichole Payton suggests that the
concept of the talented tenth is still waiting to be put into practice. She urges her own post–civil rights generation,
the most privileged generation of blacks to date, to follow the prescription outlined by Du Bois.
Focusing on the problem of class distinctions within the black community, Payton is critical of the trend toward
materialism and the “I got mine” attitude of the generation heavily influenced by Hip Hop culture. She notes not
only an increasing separation between poor blacks and members of the upper and middle-class black community,
but even a desire for separation on the part of those who are better off.
She urges the middle-class and wealthy members of her generation to take inspiration from other oppressed
Current Events minorities in America, such as Jews and Asians, who have become very successful through a tradition of helping
one another. Rather than indifference or a judgmental blame-the-victim stance, Payton believes that a new
talented tenth could start making real differences in the lives of impoverished African Americans.

Sweet Release
The Last Step to Black Freedom
James Davison Jr.
African Americans have come a long way in the difficult upward struggle from slavery to the relatively broad
freedoms enjoyed today. Together, as a potent and well-knit group, they have battled endlessly in their march
toward freedom.
Finally, according to psychologist James Davison Jr., the last step to freedom for black Americans has arrived.
But, that last step must be taken as individuals—not as a collective. In this assessment of the problems and
potentials facing African Americans, Dr. Davison argues that in order for achieving individuals to advance to the
final step of freedom, they must break free from the mental shackles created by the black community.
The central theme of Sweet Release is that the forces that impinge most upon psychological freedom for black
Americans come from within. Guilt for being successful, shame in reaction to the misbehaviors of race peers,
demands to give back to the community, and accusations of trying to be white are just a few of the mechanisms
that thwart psychological freedom for black persons. Dr. Davison argues that individual lifestyles, aspirations,
Current Events even identities are constrained by the specter of racial unity. As a result, for black advancers, what remains to be
overcome is not “the system” or “them,” but internalized community attitudes that put a choke hold on individual
freedom.
Unafraid of controversy or candid assessment, Dr. Davison addresses these and other thorny issues with
december 2007 psychological insight while offering strategies to move beyond group constrictions toward personal freedom.

Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials
A Multiple Allegory
Attacking Religious Superstition in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and
Paradise Lost
Leonard F. Wheat
Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy is one of the most popular fantasy works of our time. Both the trilogy
and a new movie based on it are being marketed chiefly as YA (young adult) fare. But Leonard F. Wheat shows
in this fascinating analysis that His Dark Materials is far more than a YA tale. At a deeper level it is a complex
triple allegory—a surface story that uses 231 symbols to tell three hidden stories. As such, it is among the most
profound, intellectually challenging, and thoroughly adult works ever written.
Wheat brings the hidden stories to light. He demonstrates how Pullman retells two prominent works of British
literature—C. S. Lewis's The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and John Milton's Paradise Lost. Pullman's aim is
to counter Lewis's pro-Christian allegory with his own anti-Christian allegory. Pullman does this in his second
allegory by turning Paradise Lost upside down. Satan and his daughter, Sin, along with Adam's murderous son
Cain, become heroes; God and Jesus become villains. This retold story depicts our society's warfare between Literary Criticism
knowledge (symbolized by Dust) and religious superstitions (symbolized by Specters). Pullman adds an original
third hidden story featuring Christian missionaries, Charles Darwin, agnostics, and atheists.
Wheat's intriguing interpretation of Pullman's work is the first to point out the many allegorical features of His september 2007
Dark Materials and to highlight the ingenious ways in which Pullman subtly attacks religious institutions and paperback
superstitions. Pullman fans as well as readers interested in fantasy or concerned about religious coercion will 376 pp

Relics of Eden
The Powerful Evidence of Evolution in Human DNA
Daniel J. Fairbanks
Since the publication in 1859 of Darwin’s Origin of Species, debate over the theory of evolution has been continuous and
often impassioned. In recent years, opponents of “Darwin’s dangerous idea” have mounted history’s most sophisticated
and generously funded attack, claiming that evolution is “a theory in crisis.” Ironically, these claims are being made at
a time when the explosion of information from genome projects has revealed the most compelling and overwhelming
evidence of evolution ever discovered. Much of the latest evidence of human evolution comes not from our genes, but
from so-called “junk DNA,” leftover relics of our evolutionary history that make up the vast majority of our DNA.
Relics of Eden explores the powerful DNA-based evidence of human evolution. The “relics” are the millions of
functionally useless but scientifically informative remnants of our evolutionary ancestry trapped in the DNA of
every person on the planet. For example, the analysis of the chimpanzee and Rhesus monkey genomes shows
indisputable evidence of the human evolutionary relationship with other primates. Over 95 percent of our genome
is identical with that of chimpanzees and we also have a good deal in common with other animal species.
Author Daniel J. Fairbanks also discusses what DNA analysis reveals about where humans originated. The diversity
of DNA sequences repeatedly confirms the archeological evidence that humans originated in sub-Saharan Africa (the
“Eden” of the title) and from there migrated through the Middle East and Asia to Europe, Australia, and the Americas. Popular Science
In conclusion, Fairbanks confronts the supposed dichotomy between evolution and religion, arguing that both
science and religion are complementary ways to seek truth. He appeals to the vast majority of Americans who
hold religious convictions not to be fooled by the pseudoscience of Creationists and Intelligent Design advocates
and to abandon the false dichotomy between religion and real science. october 2007

The Jinn from Hyperspace
And Other Scribblings—Both Serious and Whimsical
Martin Gardner
For over fifty years Martin Gardner has been delighting readers with elegant, witty, and highly intelligent writing
on an amazing array of topics. Best known for his works on popular science and mathematics, and as an incisive
skeptical commentator on the paranormal, Gardner is also an accomplished writer of children's literature, a novelist,
and a prolific essayist on religion, philosophy, and other issues.
This new collection of Gardner gems takes its name from an essay on a mathematical theme, about a jinn (or
genie) trapped in a “Klein Bottle”—an amusing tale that also teaches the math phobic something interesting
about a theoretical one-sided object with no distinction between inside and outside. Other topics in math and
physics include speculations about universes where time runs in reverse; the Banach-Tarski paradox (whereby a
sphere, after being deconstructed, can be reassembled at twice its size); and a vigorous defense of the objective
reality of mathematical theorems independent of human culture.
On the literary side, Gardner discusses two neglected works by G. K. Chesterton, one of which concerns an
imaginary but now very topical war between Islam and Christianity. He also considers the fantasies of L. Frank Baum
Popular Science that don’t take place in Oz, Clement Moore’s ever-popular The Night Before Christmas , and the many fascinating

But Is It Science?
The Philosophical Question in the Creation/Evolution Controversy
Updated Edition
Edited by Robert T. Pennock and Michael Ruse
On December 20, 2005, a US district court in Dover, Pennsylvania, ruled in Kitzmiller et al. v. Dover Area School
Board that teaching Intelligent Design in public school biology classes violates the Establishment Clause of the
First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. The judge explained that Intelligent Design is not sci-
ence and “cannot uncouple itself from its creationist, and thus religious, antecedents.” This case was just the
latest attempt by proponents of Intelligent Design or Creationism to undermine the teaching of evolution in high

Stephen Hawking
A Biography
Kristine Larsen
With a New Afterword by the Author
“His devilishly complex cosmological theories are handled engagingly in accessible language for the lay reader. …
[T]his is a touching portrait that will grace any bookshelf.” –Astronomy Now
Stephen Hawking is arguably the most famous physicist since Albert Einstein. His decades-long struggle with
ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease), combined with his singular brilliance as a cosmologist, has fascinated both the
public and his colleagues in science.
In this engagingly written biography, Kristine Larsen, a physicist and astronomer herself, presents a candid
and insightful portrait of Hawking’s personal and professional life. Avoiding the hero-worship sometimes found in
popular works on Hawking, Larsen emphasizes that Hawking is first and foremost a scientist whose work has made
significant contributions to our understanding of the nature and origins of the universe. Writing in nontechnical
language for the lay reader, Larsen clearly explains Hawking’s complex scientific accomplishments, while telling
the story of his challenging life. Popular Science / Biography
Topics include Hawking’s early lack of focus as a college student; the impact of ALS on his career and personal
life; his groundbreaking work on radiating black holes; his later cutting-edge theories of black holes, cosmology,
and the anthropic principle; the amazing publishing success of A Brief History of Time ; and his status as a pop icon
and spokesperson for the interplay of science and society. Larsen situates Hawking’s sometimes-controversial

Symmetry and the Beautiful Universe

Leon M. Lederman and Christopher T. Hill
“The authors have done an excellent job; the book is fascinating and is an important contribution to the subject. …
Strongly recommended.” —Choice
When scientists peer through a telescope at the distant stars in outer space or use a particle-accelerator to analyze
the smallest components of matter, they discover that the same laws of physics govern the whole universe at all
times and all places. Physicists call the eternal, ubiquitous constancy of the laws of physics symmetry.
Nobel Laureate Leon M. Lederman and physicist Christopher T. Hill explain the supremely elegant concept of
symmetry and all its profound ramifications to life on Earth and the universe at large in this eloquent, accessible
popular science book. They not only clearly describe concepts normally reserved for physicists and mathemati-
cians, but they also instill an appreciation for the profound beauty of the universe’s inherent design.
Central to the story of symmetry is an obscure, unpretentious, but extremely gifted German mathematician
named Emmy Noether. In some of her earliest work she proved that the law of the conservation of energy was
connected to the idea of symmetry and thus laid the mathematical groundwork for what may be the most important
concept of modern physics.
Lederman and Hill reveal concepts about the universe, based on Noether’s work, that are largely unknown to Popular Science
the public and have wide-reaching implications in connection with the Big Bang, Einstein’s theory of relativity,
quantum mechanics, and many other areas of physics. Through ingenious analogies and illustrations, they bring
these astounding notions to life. This book will open your eyes to a universe you never knew existed.

The Multicultural Mystique
The Liberal Case against Diversity
H. E. Baber
Most literature on multiculturalism assumes, without argument or compelling empirical evidence, that
immigrants and members of ethnic minorities prefer to identify with their ancestral cultures. According to the
received view, multiculturalism benefits ethnic minorities, who want to maintain distinct cultures and keep to
themselves. And it protects them from the pressure to assimilate to the majority culture.
Philosopher H. E. Baber scrutinizes these assumptions in this critique of the notion of multiculturalism. Baber
asks whether it could be that many, or even most, members of ethnic minorities want to shed their ethnic identities
and assimilate to the dominant culture. She suggests that multiculturalism imposes ethnic scripts on minorities
and thus locks them out of the opportunity to assimilate. In effect, it becomes a form of ethnic stereotyping and
discrimination. Multiculturalism, when transformed into an ideology as it often is, benefits cultural preservationists
at the expense of members of ethnic minorities who wish to assimilate—arguably the majority. Perversely, it then
labels those who would resist such stereotyping as atypical, inauthentic, or even self-hating.
Baber argues that liberals, or anyone who favors the expansion of individual liberty, should reject a multi-
Philosophy / Current Events culturalism that restricts personal freedom by classifying and identifying people on the basis of unchosen
characteristics such as ancestry and appearance. Like all Americans, ethnic minorities should be encouraged to
“invent themselves,” to affiliate with groups of their own choosing and be identified as they wish.

The CIA’s Black Ops

Covert Action and Foreign Policy, from the Cold War to the War on Terror
John Jacob Nutter
The recent publicity concerning secret “renditions,” whereby suspected enemies in the War on Terror are interrogated
overseas, has turned the spotlight on the murky history of the CIA’s “black ops” (operations). In this revealing
analysis of US covert operations, intelligence expert Dr. John Jacob Nutter documents this disturbing history and
analyzes how black ops have fit into the big picture of US foreign policy and world politics. Embracing
controversial issues, Nutter provides keen insight into the pros and cons of assassinating foreign leaders, over-
throwing foreign governments (of both foe and friend), developing secret armies to fight secret wars, and partnering
with terrorists, the mafia, drug lords, arms dealers, and con men allegedly for reasons of national security.
Among the many questions raised by his analysis are the following:
• What is the relationship between CIA covert action in Afghanistan, a mujahedin named
Osama bin Laden, and the founding of Al Qaeda?
• How has the United States used private armies in the War on Terror and in Iraq?
• Are there “shadow” organizations that carry out their own black ops, defying the president, congress,
and even the CIA?
Current Events / Politics
• How did covert operations contribute to winning the Cold War?
• Did American black ops actually strengthen Saddam Hussein?
• Is congressional oversight possible, or is the system that “controls” covert action fatally flawed?
• What are the conditions for successful covert operations?

Science and Nonbelief
Taner Edis
Scientists have raised questions about religious belief since the earliest development of scientific thought. Over
the centuries, as science has become ever more sophisticated and answered many of the questions previously in
the domain of religion, more and more people have developed a skeptical point of view regarding religion. Today,
many scientists are nonbelievers with a secular, science-based perspective.
In this wide-ranging overview, physicist and acclaimed science writer Taner Edis examines the relationship
between today’s sciences and religious nonbelief. Beginning with a brief history of science and philosophical
doubt, Edis goes on to describe those theories in contemporary science that challenge spiritual views by favoring
a naturalistic conception of the world. He provides a very readable, nontechnical introduction to the leading
scientific ideas that impinge upon religious belief in the areas of modern physics and cosmology, evolutionary
biology, and cognitive and brain science. He also shows how science supplies naturalistic explanations for
allegedly miraculous and paranormal phenomena and explains widespread belief in the supernatural. Finally, he
addresses the political context of debates over science and nonbelief as well as questions about morality.
Complete with an historical chronology, an extensive annotated bibliography, and selections from primary
Popular Science
sources, Science and Nonbelief is an indispensable and accessible reference work on the subject.

Fifty Reasons People Give for Believing in a God

Guy P. Harrison
Many books that challenge religious belief from a skeptical point of view take a combative tone that is almost
guaranteed to alienate believers or they present complex philosophical or scientific arguments that fail to reach
the average reader. Journalist Guy B. Harrison argues that this is an ineffective way of encouraging people to
develop critical thinking about religion. In this unique approach to skepticism regarding God, Harrison concisely
presents fifty commonly heard reasons people often give for believing in a God and then he raises legitimate
questions regarding these reasons, showing in each case that there is much room for doubt.
Whether you’re a believer, a complete skeptic, or somewhere in between, you’ll find Harrison’s review of
traditional and more recent arguments for the existence of God refreshing, approachable, and enlightening. From
religion as the foundation of morality to the authority of sacred books, the compelling religious testimony of
influential people, near-death experiences, arguments from Intelligent Design, and much more, Harrison
respectfully describes each rationale for belief and then politely shows the deficiencies that any good skeptic
would point out.
As a journalist who has traveled widely and interviewed many highly accomplished people, quite a number of
whom are believers, Harrison appreciates the variety of belief and the ways in which people seek to make religion Philosophy / Religion
compatible with scientific thought. Nonetheless, he shows that, despite the prevalence of belief in God or
religious belief in intelligent people, in the end there are no unassailable reasons for believing in a God.
For skeptics looking for appealing ways to approach their believing friends or believers who are not afraid to
consider a skeptical challenge, Harrison’s book makes for very stimulating reading. january 2008

Living Long and Loving It

Achieving a Healthy and Active Lifestyle
Irvin M. Korr, PhD, and Rene J. McGovern, PhD
Stereotypes about the elderly are so prevalent that elders themselves often buy into them. People young and old
assume that retirement is a time of inactivity, less social involvement, and inevitable physical decline. For over
nine decades Dr. Irvin M. Korr was a living refutation of that dreary stereotype. Through a holistic approach to
health, based on principles of osteopathic medicine, he proved that healthy, vigorous, fulfilling old age and long
life are the natural culmination of healthy living.
In this inspiring guide to achieving a healthy lifestyle at any time of life, Dr. Korr explains with enthusiasm and
great clarity how any reader can apply scientifically based osteopathic principles to improve quality of life and pro-
mote successful aging. Among the principles he stresses is that the human body incorporates its own healing and
defensive systems, as well as a health maintenance system. Together they form an indwelling healthcare system
that is the ultimate source of health and for which each individual must take primary responsibility.
Dr. Korr also emphasizes the beneficial effects that freedom of motion and physical activity bring, not only to
our musculoskeletal system but also to our various internal organs, as well as our state of mind. Finally, he makes
the point that healthy aging is a choice that anyone can make at any time of life by making beneficial attitude and

When Good Thinking Goes Bad
How Your Brain Can Have a Mind of Its Own
Todd C. Riniolo
In 1975, the Environmental Fund sponsored a full-page advertisement in leading newspapers, which predicted
that “the world as we know it will likely be ruined before the year 2000,” due to the assumed inability of world
food production to keep pace with the increase in population. The statement was endorsed by some of the finest
thinkers of the time—scientists, scholars, and other professionals who had spent their careers applying the
principles of critical thinking to their chosen disciplines. Nonetheless, in this instance, they all failed to use the
same rigor in assessing the probability of looming disaster and badly miscalculated.
This is just one example of how even the best thinkers can sometimes go astray, and it illustrates how easily
unconscious biases can undermine the critical thinking process. In this insightful analysis of the mental pitfalls
that trip up even elite critical thinkers, psychologist Todd C. Riniolo makes a compelling case that under certain
circumstances everyone is vulnerable to accepting erroneous beliefs.
Riniolo begins by reviewing the hallmarks of critical thinking related to the evaluation of claims, such as the use
of the double-blind procedure and the law of parsimony. He then provides an evolutionary framework and empirical
supporting evidence from cognitive psychology to explain why being inconsistent in the use of critical thinking
Critical Thinking / Psychology
is part of our evolutionary heritage. Each of us possesses cognitive biases that make us prone to maintaining our
current beliefs (both true and false). He concludes by focusing on a wide range of claims—environmental, political,
economic, multicultural—to illustrate how in certain contexts we all are tempted to abandon critical thinking. november 2007

Includes Vital Information on Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD)
Edited by Lisa Radin and Gary Radin
Foreword by John Q. Trojanowski, MD, PhD, Director, Alzheimer’s Disease Center, University of

Although the public most often associates dementia with Alzheimer’s disease, the medical profession now
distinguishes various types of “other” dementias. This book is the first comprehensive guide dealing with
frontotemporal dementia (FTD), one of the largest groups of non-Alzheimer’s dementias. The contributors are
either specialists in their fields or have exceptional hands-on experience with FTD sufferers.
Beginning with a focus on the medical facts, the first part defines and explores FTD as an illness distinct from
Alzheimer’s disease. Also considered are clinical and medical care issues and practices, as well as such topics
as finding a medical team and rehabilitation interventions. The next section on managing care examines the
daily care routine including exercise, socialization, adapting the home environment, and behavioral issues. In
the following section on caregiver resources, the contributors identify professional and government assistance
programs along with private resources and legal options.
This newly revised edition follows recent worldwide collaboration in research and provides the most current Health
medical information available, a better understanding of the different classifications of FTD, and more clarity
regarding the role of genetics. A completely new chapter 5 enlightens the reader about the various drugs that are

Humanity against Itself

The Retreat from Reason
Benjamin Kovitz, MD
In this broad overview of humanity’s predicament, psychiatrist Benjamin Kovitz illustrates the parallels between
anxiety in the individual and discord in civilization as a whole. Kovitz emphasizes that civilization rests upon the
precarious foundation of human nature, with its age-old tendencies toward self-deception, violence, and pursuit
of power. He argues that resistance to facing our hidden motives is what lies at the core of political and religious
strife as well as individual anxiety.
At the heart of the book is an illuminating chapter on the meaning of anxiety, explaining with clarity and detail how
the pathology arises, how it is expressed, and how it can be relieved. The complexities of the condition are portrayed
in vivid clinical examples, often using the patients’ own words. Kovitz takes issue with the current practice of relying
solely on psychiatric medication without addressing the patient’s understanding of what his or her symptoms mean.
On the societal level, Kovitz shows how evasion of reality complicates our efforts at progress and peaceful
coexistence, despite the advances of science and democracy, and how defensive behavior among nations can
culminate in war.
Current Events Turning to religion, Kovitz explores the psychological underpinnings of our need for religion and briefly sum-
marizes the major world faiths with an eye to their underlying attitudes and assumptions. While pointing out the
contradictions inherent in a literal approach to religious dogma, the author appreciates the need for faith that
transcends logic. In a psychiatric evaluation of the life of Saint Teresa of Avila, Kovitz recognizes pathological

Freedom of the Press
The First Amendment
Its Constitutional History and the Contemporary Debate
Edited by Garrett Epps
“Congress shall make no law …abridging the freedom…of the press.” —From the First Amendment
The press in the United States is freer than in any other country in the world, and virtually any in history. American
courts give critics of society and government extraordinary freedom to disseminate views that are unpopular,

why i Became an atheist

A Former Preacher Rejects Christianity
John W. Loftus
For about two decades John W. Loftus was a devout evangelical Christian, an ordained minister of the Church of
Christ, and an ardent apologist for Christianity. With three degrees—in philosophy, theology, and philosophy of
religion—he was adept at using rational argumentation to defend the faith. But over the years, as he ministered to
various congregations and taught at Christian colleges, doubts about the credibility of key Christian tenets began
to creep into his thinking. By the late 1990s he experienced a full-blown crisis of faith, brought on by emotional
upheavals in his personal life as well as the gathering weight of the doubts he had long entertained.
In this honest appraisal of his journey from believer to atheist, Loftus carefully explains the experiences and
the reasoning process that led him to reject religious belief. The bulk of the book is his “cumulative case” against
Christianity. Here he lays out the philosophical, scientific, and historical reasons that can be raised against
Christian belief. From the implications of religious diversity, the authority of faith vs. reason, and the problem of
evil, to the contradictions between the Bible and the scientific worldview, the conflicts between traditional dogma
and historical evidence, and much more, Loftus covers a great deal of intellectual terrain. For every issue he
succinctly summarizes the various points of view and provides references for further reading. In conclusion, he Religion
describes the implications of life without belief in God, some liberating, some sobering.

Culture and Conflict in the Middle East

Philip Carl Salzman
In an era of increasing interaction between the United States and the countries of the Middle East, it has become ever more important for Americans to
understand the social forces that shape Middle Eastern cultures. Based on years of his own field research and the ethnographic reports of other scholars,
anthropologist Philip Carl Salzman presents an incisive analysis of Middle Eastern culture that goes a long way toward explaining the gulf between West-
ern and Middle Eastern cultural perspectives.
Salzman focuses on two basic principles of tribal organization that have become central principles of Middle Eastern life—balanced opposition
(each group of whatever size and scope is opposed by a group of equal size and scope) and affiliation solidarity (always support those closer against those more
distant). On the positive side, these pervasive structural principles support a decentralized social and political system based upon individual indepen-
dence, autonomy, liberty, equality, and responsibility. But on the negative side, Salzman notes a pattern of contingent partisan loyalties, which results in
an inbred orientation favoring particularism: an attitude of my tribe against the other tribe, my ethnic group against the different ethnic group, my religious
community against another religious community. For each affiliation, there is always an enemy.
Salzman argues that the particularism of Middle Eastern culture precludes universalism, rule of law, and constitutionalism, which all involve the measuring of
actions against general criteria, irrespective of the affiliation of the particular actors. The result of this relentless partisan framework of thought has been the
apparently unending conflict, both internal and external, that characterizes the modern Middle East.

New Interpretations of Berkeley’s Thought

In this set of previously unpublished essays, noted scholars from North America and Europe describe how the Irish
philosopher George Berkeley (1684–1753) continues to inspire debates about his views on knowledge, reality, God,
freedom, mathematics, and religion. Here discussions about Berkeley’s account of physical objects, minds, and
God’s role in human experience are resolved within explicitly ethical and theological contexts. This collection uses
debates about Berkeley’s immaterialism and has theory of ideas to open up a discussion of how divine activity and
human experience are reconciled in a recurring appeal to the laws of nature. In that context, objects in the world are
linked to one another by means of the perceptions and affections whereby minds come into being. The laws of nature
thus become crucial for Berkeley in revealing how objects are unintelligible apart from being apprehended by minds
that are themselves connected to one another in virtue of their ideas.
Overall, the essays indicate that, for Berkeley, our apprehension of the world as real depends on recognizing how
the world expressed by our ideas is not a mere aggregate of disconnected bodies but is rather an integrated unity of
the things we experience. This provides an antidote against the loss of unity created by Descartes’ isolation of the self from nature and Locke’s account of
objects in terms of simple, discrete ideas.
In juxtaposing discussions of Berkeley’s later writings with his earlier works, this volume shows not only how, for Berkeley, mind is intrinsically linked
to things in nature as the principle of their determination in law-governed ways, but also how minds are practically related to the objects of the physical
world, one another, and ultimately God.

Germaine de Staël, Daughter of the Enlightenment

The Writer and Her Turbulent Era
Sergine Dixon
One of the most fascinating and influential women in French history was Germaine de Staël (1766–1817). Raised in a stimulating intellectual environment by
parents connected to the court of Louis XVI, she became an internationally known writer, intellectual, and political activist. As the engaging, intelligent host
of a popular salon in Paris and through frequent travels, she met some of the leading Enlightenment figures of the day, many of whom became her friends and
confidants: William Pitt the Younger, Benjamin Constant, Lord Byron, August Wilhelm Schlegel, Johann Wolfgang Goethe, and Czar Alexander I, to name a
few. Later in life she gained much notoriety and had to flee the country because of her outspoken opposition to the tyranny of Napoleon Bonaparte.
In this engrossing biography, Sergine Dixon traces both the personal and public life of this very accomplished woman. She recounts her early life in
the waning years of the French royal court, the turbulent period of the French Revolution, her exiles to Switzerland and England, and her unwavering defense of
republicanism during the reign of Napoleon. Analyzing De Staël’s novels, correspondence, and writings on politics and the intellectual trends of the time,
Dixon presents an appealing portrait of the woman whose life and career bridged the end of the Enlightenment and the beginning of Romanticism.
Sergine Dixon (Dorset, VT) holds a doctorate in education from Columbia University. For many years she taught French language, literature, and civilization
in Quebec, Ontario, and in Westchester, NY. She is the author of Stars of Two Millennia: Observations on Men and Women of Quality.

And the American Manifesto
Allen Jayne
384 pp • ISBN 978-1-59102-502-3 • HC • $28
In this compelling study of the moral principles that most influenced the thinking of Abraham Lincoln, historian Allen
Jayne argues persuasively that Lincoln regarded the Declaration of Independence, above all other documents, as the
most important embodiment of American principles. This “American manifesto,” as Jayne calls it, with its eloquent
expression of the ideals of individual liberty and government created to protect and preserve that liberty, was the script
that Lincoln followed in his struggle to preserve the Union and extend individual liberties to African Americans. Moreover,
Jayne demonstrates that Lincoln’s philosophy was rooted, not in a Bible-based evangelical Christian perspective, but in
the European Enlightenment and deism, which so profoundly influenced the thinking of Thomas Jefferson and other
Founding Fathers.
This insightful historical study is highly relevant in today’s climate of religious extremism and debates over the balance
between individual liberty and national security.

The Danger of Religious Extremism
Neil J. Kressel

What separates constructive religious impulses from destructive ones? How does someone who begins by contemplating
his relationship with God end by committing an act of murder? This is the first book to journey to the heart of religious
militancy. Dr. Neil J. Kressel, who has spent decades researching genocide, terrorism, and anti-Semitism, brings to bear
the insights of psychology and social science on this significant and critical problem. Are some religions, religious doctrines,
and religious practices more apt to inspire hatred and extremism than others? Which sorts of people are most prone to
extremism? Which types of societies are most likely to become breeding grounds for extremists? These are some of the
key issues considered. Beyond analyzing the nature of religious militancy, Kressel offers sensible recommendations for
addressing what is to date the 21st century’s most serious challenge.

In this chilling account of an America in political and cultural decline, media critics Elliot D. Cohen and Bruce W. Fraser
show how mainstream media corporations like CNN, Fox, and NBC (General Electric) together with giant telecoms like
Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T have become administration pawns in a well-organized effort to hijack America. Cohen and
Fraser show in blunt terms how incredible power, control, and wealth have been amassed in the hands of an elite few while
the rest of us have been systematically manipulated, deceived, and divested of our freedom.

“It takes considerable courage to write anything remotely critical of Islam. It takes even greater courage to write anything
satirical or humorous about a religion that has no sense of irony, as the Danish cartoon affair recently reminded us. Hence,
Kevin Ryan’s irreverent and hilarious look at Islam is doubly welcome, though the humor should not blind us to the underlying

In this elegant narrative about the mysteries and wonders of celestial exploration, astronomer Richard Baum describes the

“mountains of Venus,” a “city in the moon,” ghostly rings around Uranus and Neptune, bright inexplicable objects seen
near the sun, and the truth behind Coleridge’s “Star dogged Moon” in his famous poem about the Ancient Mariner—these
are just some of the intriguing twists and turns that astronomers took while investigating our starry neighbors.

In 1507, a German cartographer created a world map that, for the first time, included the continental landmasses in the
Western Hemisphere, discovered within the 15 previous years. He inserted the name “America” on the southern continent,
honoring Amerigo Vespucci, who had erroneously been credited with setting foot on South American soil before Christopher
Columbus. With the aid of the newly invented printing press, the name “America” became the accepted designation of
land in the New World.
Schwartz’s compelling story, which includes many amazing twists and turns, also features cameo appearances by
Alexander von Humboldt, Washington Irving, Frederic Chopin, George Sand, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Ogden Nash,

“Quigley writes with intellectual fire.” —The Washington post
In this damning indictment of U.S. military interventionism since World War II, law professor John Quigley analyzes each
instance of military intervention abroad by the United States since World War II from the perspective of what the government
told the public, or did not tell it, about the reasons for war. Quigley concludes that the government’s explanations differed
greatly from reality. What emerges from his research is a tale of coverups, distortions, and manipulation of the media by
our country's leaders for the purpose of gaining public support.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.”

—The establishment Clause of the First Amendment
Unlike many areas of constitutional law, there is very little settled doctrine interpreting the Establishment Clause. Put simply,
there is no consensus on what the Establishment Clause means. Recognizing the range and depth of intellectual tension
that underlies this constitutional mandate, editor Alan Brownstein addresses both the historical debate surrounding the
original understanding of this constitutional provision as well as current controversies regarding its interpretation and
application by the courts. The reader will thus find a balanced account of the competing perspectives on core questions.
With a focus on broad themes and core ideas, this excellent collection of articles will be of great use to both undergraduate
and law students (and their professors), as well as lay readers interested in the history of the Constitution, Establishment
Clause, and current debates surrounding its interpretation.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”
—From the First Amendment
This superb volume presents key excerpts from a range of scholarship on issues concerning the free exercise of religion. The
selections cover the historical background of religious freedom in the founding period; the challenges of drawing the proper
boundary between religious freedom and legal duties; the protection of religious freedom by legislatures through statutes as
well as by courts through judicial decisions; the challenges of defining “religion” in a pluralistic society; and much more.
Because the recent story of religious freedom and the law involves questions concerning which institution should act to
protect that freedom – legislatures or courts, states or the federal government – this book will be of great use for classes
not only in religion and law or civil rights, but also in political institutions and governmental structure.

To what extent should lawyers and lawmakers be influenced by considerations of morality? Few questions have had and will
continue to have a more compelling effect on the human community. For this reason the editors have brought together this
collection of intellectually stimulating articles, which grapple with the tough issues involving morality, justice, and the law.
Part One contains articles on the connection between morality and the law. Part Two focuses on issues of morality
and lawyering by looking at such questions as how lawyers should represent clients with whom they disagree ethically.
Part Three addresses the question concerning when civil disobedience is justified. Part Four explores moral and legal
questions related to capital punishment and includes the Supreme Court's most recent decision on capital punishment.
Finally, Part Five examines the highly charged debate about immigration.
This balanced anthology will be of interest to philosophers, legal scholars, and anyone concerned about the relation
of law to morality.

This classic work on critical thinking—now fully updated and revised—uses a novel approach to teach the basics of
informal logic. On the assumption that “it takes one to know one,” the authors have written the book from the point of view
of someone who wishes to deceive, mislead, or manipulate others. Having mastered the art of deception, readers will then
be able to detect the misuse or abuse of logic when they encounter it in others
Using a host of real-world examples, the authors show you how to win an argument, defend a case, recognize a fallacy,
see through deception, persuade a skeptic, and turn defeat into victory. Whether you’re preparing for law school or you
just want to become more adept at making your points and analyzing others’ arguments, The Art of Deception will give you

The Real Science of Psychology
William r. Uttal
300 pp • ISBN 978-1-59102-525-2 • HC • $29 • June 2007
Is psychology a science? Unlike Darwinian theory in biology or relativity and quantum theory in physics, psychology
lacks the basic quantitative or conceptual foundation for a consensus view about how the mind works. Is psychology on
the verge of developing such a foundation? “Probably not,” answers psychologist William R. Uttal in this iconoclastic and
critical examination of psychology’s underlying principles, assumptions, and concepts.
Among many topics, he considers the definition of science, the role of mathematics in psychology, and the current
fragmented state of the discipline. Uttal comes to the conclusion that psychology is a science only to the extent that it
is behaviorist in orientation. By comparing his discipline to other sciences, he identifies its limits, establishes a set of
principles that help to define psychology as a science, and suggests plausible future developments.

tHe agnostIC reaDer
Edited by S. T. Joshi
336 pp • ISBN 978-1-59102-533-7 • PB • $21 • August 2007
Agnosticism—the philosophical argument that it is impossible to know whether God exists or not—has been the point
of view of many distinguished thinkers from the 19th century to the present. Agnosticism holds that reason and the best
scientific evidence do not allow one to reach a decisive conclusion regarding the existence of God. This reader contains
selections of some of the most profound and pioneering discussions of agnosticism over the past two centuries. Beginning
with early formulations of the agnostic perspective by Thomas Henry Huxley (who coined the term), Bertrand Russell, and
others, editor S. T. Joshi also includes selections from such notable thinkers as Arthur Schopenhauer, Robert G. Ingersoll,
Edward Westermarck, W. E. H. Lecky, Walter Lippmann, Albert Einstein, Isaac Asimov, H. L. Mencken, Corliss Lamont, and
others. Overall, The Agnostic Reader shows how agnosticism can provide a framework for living with courage and dignity.
What is secular Humanism?

Paul Kurtz
40 pp • ISBN 978-1-59102-499-6 • PB • $9.95 • March 2007
In this succinct, engaging overview of the secular humanist perspective, philosopher Paul Kurtz describes the many ways
in which secular humanism’s scientific, philosophical, and ethical outlook has exerted a profound influence on civilization
from the ancient world to the present. Today many schools of thought broadly identify with humanist ideas and values.
But Kurtz suggests that secular humanism is especially suitable for the needs of our increasingly secular world because it
rejects supernatural accounts of reality and seeks to optimize the fullness of human life in a naturalistic universe. In tune
with the most progressive trends of the contemporary world, secular humanism finds meaning in life here and now and
expresses confidence in the power of human beings to solve their problems and conquer uncharted frontiers.

not appeal to blind faith, but to reason. Convinced that Christianity is rationally defensible, he boldly declared: “I am not
asking anyone to accept Christianity if his best reasoning tells him that the weight of the evidence is against it.” But do
Lewis’s arguments survive critical scrutiny?
In this revised and expanded edition of his book originally published in 1985, philosopher John Beversluis takes Lewis
at his word, sympathetically considers his “case for Christianity,” and concludes that it fails. Beversluis examines Lewis’s
moral argument for the existence of a Power behind the moral law, his solution to the Problem of Evil, and many other
issues. As the only critical study of C. S. Lewis’s apologetic writings, this readable and intellectually stimulating book
should be on the bookshelves of anyone interested in the philosophy of religion.

Essential Readings in Ethical Leadership and Management
Edited by Abe J. Zakhem, Daniel E. Palmer, and Mary Lyn Stoll
Foreword by Norman E. Bowie, Elmer Andersen Chair in Corporate Responsibility, Carlson School of
Management, University of Minnesota
320 pp • ISBN 978-1-59102-526-9 • PB • $30 • July 2007
Stakeholder theory is presently the dominant framework for analyzing ethical issues within the field of business ethics.
The theory goes beyond the conventional idea that stockholders are the main group to whom corporate managers owe
responsibility by arguing that all groups having a stake in a firm—suppliers, customers, employees, the local community,
and others—should be considered by managers in decision making. Up till now there has been no reader that presents
scholars and students interested in the theory with a resource covering the major developments and debates surrounding
the theory. This anthology contains the most important, influential, and innovative work written on stakeholder theory over
the course of the last twenty years. It provides those working in areas of business, professional, and applied ethics with a
unique resource for research and teaching.
DefenDIng tHe West

A Critique of Edward Said’s Orientalism
Ibn Warraq
500 pp • (Illustrations) ISBN 978-1-59102-484-2 • HC • $29.95 • August 2007
This is the first systematic critique of Edward Said's influential work, Orientalism, a book that for almost three decades
has received wide acclaim, voluminous commentary, and translation into more than fifteen languages. In this thorough
reconsideration of Said’s famous work, Ibn Warraq argues that Said’s case against the West is seriously flawed. Warraq
accuses Said of not only willfully misinterpreting the work of many scholars, but also of systematically misrepresenting
Western civilization as a whole. With example after example, he shows that ever since the Greeks Western civilization
has always had a strand in its very makeup that has accepted non-Westerners with open arms and has ever been open
to foreign ideas.
Warraq further looks at the destructive influence of Said's study on the history of Western painting, especially of the
19th century. An extended appendix reconsiders the value of 18th- and 19th-century Orientalist scholars and artists,
whose work fell into disrepute as a result of Said’s work.
HYpatIa of alexanDrIa
Mathematician and Martyr
Michael A. B. Deakin
240 pp (Illustrations) • ISBN 978-1-59102-520-7 • HC • $28 • May 2007
In the late fourth and early fifth centuries of our era, Hypatia of Alexandria was the world’s greatest living mathematician and
astronomer. A strikingly beautiful woman and a devoted celibate, she lived in a city as turbulent and troubled as Baghdad
or Beirut is today. This is the first biography of Hypatia to integrate all aspects of her life. Mathematician Michael Deakin
emphasizes that, though she was a philosopher, she was first and foremost a mathematician and astronomer of great
accomplishment. In a fascinating narrative that brings to life a richly diverse ancient society, he describes her work so
that the mathematics, presented in straightforward terms, finds its true place in the context of her life as a whole. He also
analyzes the pattern of her life and thought, and finally gives an account of the events leading up to her tragic death.

“[A] great book! It's not only easy to read but also packed with useful and up-to-date information concerning the innumer-
able ways in which humans selfishly use animals, why animals need to be protected now more than ever, and how we all
can play a role in this social movement by making humane choices that are good for animals and our one and only planet.
I will recommend it to people worldwide.” —Marc Bekoff, University of Colorado, Boulder
Author of The Ten Trusts (with Jane Goodall) and The emotional lives of Animals, and editor
of the encyclopedia of Human-Animal relationships
Highly informative yet very reader-friendly, this book integrates solid information with positive case studies of rescued
animals and inspiring stories of individual successes.

“ This is a book about hope. We really can have peace in the Middle East one day. Daniel says it best: 'If children had been
in charge of their countries, things would not have happened the way they did. Children know how to get along with one
another despite everything.' As we pass our world along to the next generation, I know they will do better than we have in the
peacemaking process.” —howard Dean
Based on interviews of thirty-four Palestinian and Israeli teenagers, this uplifting book presents candid, first-person
narratives of their day-to-day lives. These young people describe their ordinary lives, including their interests, facts about
their families, friendships, and neighborhoods, as well as their spiritual concerns and dreams for the future.

Essays on Science, Religion, Law, Literature, and Life
Susan haack
336 pp • ISBN 978-1-59102-528-3 • HC • $32 • August 2007
This wide-ranging collection of Susan Haack’s new and recent essays offers applied philosophy in a new key and a fresh voice—subtle, penetrating analyses
of vital issues about science, society, religion, law, literature, even about what makes a life meaningful. Whether she is telling the “sad, sleazy saga” of a
drug company’s efforts to suppress the unfavorable results of a clinical trial it had funded, disentangling the many senses of “coherent,” or reflecting on the
growth of intellectual character, Haack writes with the clarity, verve, and wit her readers have come to expect.

Biologists study life in its various physical forms, while philosophers of biology seek answers to questions about the nature, purpose, and impact of this
research. What permits us to distinguish between living and nonliving things even though both are made of the same minerals? Is the complex structure
of organisms proof that a creative force is working its will in the physical universe, or are existing life-forms the random result of an evolutionary process
working itself out over eons of time? What moral and social questions arise regarding modern advances in biotechnology? Is Darwinism the death-knell of
God? This second edition contains material on design without selection, testing macroevolutionary claims, recent biotechnological issues, key ecological
concerns, the Gaia hypothesis, genetically modified foods, and the so-called Intelligent Design movement.

The True History of the Revealed Text
Mondher Sfar
150 pp • ISBN 978-1-59102-521-4 • HC • $24.95 • July 2007
In this fascinating study of the origins of Islam, historian Mondher Sfar reveals that there is no historical, or even theological, basis for the orthodox view that
Muhammad or his earliest followers intended the Koran to be treated as the inviolable word of God. With great erudition and painstaking historical research,
Sfar demonstrates that passages from Islam’s sacred book clearly indicate that the revealed text should not be equated with the perfect text of the original
“celestial Koran.” This original historical exploration into the origins of Islam makes an important contribution to the growing movement for reform of Islam
initiated by courageous Muslim thinkers convinced of the necessity of bringing Islam into the modern world.

288 pp • ISBN 978-1-59102-536-8 • HC • $32 • May 2007
“I highly recommend this book to the general reader as a readable and reliable guide to understanding the important results of biblical research.”
—Gerald A. Larue, emeritus professor of biblical history and archaeology, University of Southern California
In this radical critique of his own academic specialty, biblical scholar Hector Avalos calls for an end to biblical studies as we know them. He outlines two
main arguments for this surprising conclusion. First, since academic biblical scholarship has clearly shown that the Bible espouses an ancient worldview
that is fundamentally opposed to the views of modern society, the Bible is largely irrelevant to the needs and concerns of contemporary human beings.
Second, Avalos criticizes his colleagues for applying a variety of flawed and specious techniques aimed at maintaining the illusion that the Bible is still
relevant in today’s world. In effect, he accuses his profession of being more concerned about its self-preservation than about giving an honest account of
its own findings to the general public and faith communities.
