Vanishing Proofs Of Evolution - Thomas Heinze
Are your children being taught scientific "proofs" that have already been disproven? Much of the world has been convinced to abandon God because of a few classic "proofs of evolution" in schoolbooks. The Vanishing Proofs of Evolution shows how one after another of these very convincing "proofs" has been found to be untrue.
Don't just stand and watch while your kids and their teachers are being deceived. Give them the knowledge that will build their faith and help them help others. It's all explained in this scientifically-sound book, which clearly shows that true science supports the Creation position and disproves evolution. The book presents powerful evidence that God is the Creator, and concludes with an introduction to Him. Discover how easy it can be to defend the Creation position.
Recommendation:
“The Vanishing Proofs of Evolution” is an excellent source of the positive evidence for creation while describing the scientific evidence against the theory of evolution."
Duane Gish, Ph.D, Vice President, Institute for Creation Research.

The Autobiography Of Benvenuto Cellini (penguin Classics) - Benvenuto Cellini And George Bull
Although most of Cellini's works in precious metals have been melted down, one surviving gold saltceller, which he completed for Francois I of France, and a number of major sculptures have secured his reputation as one of the finest Italian artists in the generation after Michelangelo. But he is most celebrated for his autobiography, which chronicles with unflagging energy and force one of the most tempestuous lives?and one of the largest egos?in all of history. Cellini served dukes, bishops, cardinals, and kings and queens of several nations, and he quarreled with them all, including two popes, one of whom, by Cellini's account, tried to murder him. He confesses to several murders himself, at least one rape, a notorious prison-break, innumerable fights and feuds. He also claims a pivotal role in defending Rome against invasion. From its first appearance in 1728 (150 years after his death), this portrait of a fanatical individualist helped define our notion of the Renaissance. The vigorous translation by John Addington Symonds (uncredited by the producer?a recurring fault) is superbly realized by British narrator Robert Whitfield, successfully bringing to tape Cellini's unforgettable story. Highly recommended for all collections.?Peter Josyph, New York

International Churches Of Christ: An Explorative Look At The Anti-postmodern Church - Scott La Counte
Some call the church a cult others just a conversative a movement. This article examines the churches beliefs. It follows the churches history prior to Kip McClean leaving the church.
The Catholic Church Through The Ages: A History - John Vidmar
The Catholic Church through the Ages is a one-volume survey of the history of the Catholic Church from its beginning until (and including) the pontificate of John Paul II. The book explains the Church's progress by using Christopher Dawson's division of the Church's history into six distinct "ages," or 350-400 year periods of time, each cycle beginning with great enthusiasm and advancement and ending in decline and loss. Writing with the experience of twenty years of teaching, the author has fashioned an ideal text that combines substance with readability.
Undergraduates, graduates, and interested lay people have given the author an idea of what topics should be emphasized. As a result, he has emphasized such areas monasticism, the Crusades, medieval theology, the Inquisition, Reformation, French Revolution, the nineteenth century, and the Church in the United States.
As a supplement to each chapter, the author has included an annotated list of reading and audio-visual materials.

Speedbumps: Flooring It Through Hollywood - Teri Garr And Henriette Mantel
Starred Review. This dishy memoir may be about "speedbumps"—obstacles that slow a person's journey in life—but Garr's delivery is smooth as glass, with no jarring notes. Garr's performance highlights her wonderfully edgy sarcasm and self-deprecating humor. This audio version is often better than the print book, particularly when Garr launches into funny digressions or catty parenthetical comments about people in Hollywood. She seems to have a marvelous time poking fun at herself, from her drama-queen tendencies to the ways she used to pad her rйsumй. Her behind-the-scenes commentaries about some of her more famous roles, such as the buxom German nurse in Young Frankenstein, are delicious. The last third of Garr's book is devoted to multiple sclerosis, which she was definitively diagnosed as having in 1999, after 20 years of strange, on-again, off-again symptoms. But even here, her humor is in full sway, as she describes her new role as a celebrity spokesperson for the disease. Listeners will cheer her on as she invites us along for an exciting ride, speed bumps and all. Simultaneous release with the Hudson Street hardcover (Reviews, Aug. 22). (Dec.)

Eidolon's Wager - Michael Friedrichs
When Dr. Victor Albrecht moves to Portland, Oregon, he's caught between a friend's seductive fiancй and a suicidal young gothic patient with whom he's fallen in love. The deeper he explores his patient's psyche, the bolder his own demons become - until the roles of doctor and patient are reversed.
Eidolon's Wager takes you on an exhilarating journey through Portland's dark music underground, as Victor learns that devils are sometimes the people we trust, and Enochian angels lurk in the shadows. Culminating at the Burning Man festival in Nevada, it's a story about father issues, drugs, sex, and the extent to which we betray ourselves for love.
A book for our times with a delightful dose of satire, Eidolon's Wager will thrill and transform you with its messages of hope and redemption.
What Is Occultism? - Dion Fortune And Gareth Knight
In What is Occultism? Dion Fortune offers the
reader an in-depth look at what occultism can be to the rational
and well-trained practitioner. She presents a clear discussion,
sweeping aside our cultural assumptions and stereotypes. Fortune
is able to place occultism in its proper place as a philosophy
that, while it retains religious overtones, employs scientific
and rational methodology to explore the meaning of life. Fortune
reveals the heart of occult ethics and ideals, that occult
research seeks to aid people in achieving enlightenment. She
discusses karma, psychism, astrology, numerology, occult
societies and fraternities, and the study of past lives. Revised
edition of Sane Occultism. Introduction by Gareth Knight.

Bullycide: Death At Playtime - Neil Marr And Tim Field
This is the book that blew the lid off the bully-associated child suicide epidemic the authors named ‘bullycide’.
The shattering statistics compiled by Neil Marr and Tim Field were the first ever recorded on what had been a secret and fatal school syndrome that causes terror and death at playtime.
Heartbreaking interviews and case histories in these pages opened the eyes of an indifferent world. It’s a book crammed with useful, encouraging advice. It has spawned countless other books, official action, scholarly reports, plays, movies, parent-teacher groups, media campaigns and websites.
But has the world really learned since its original publication exactly ten years ago? Are things getting better for embattled kids who see life as a fate worse than death, or are the bullies using new, more covert means to practice their lethal evil?
This second edition – not so much an update as a history lesson (and those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it) – is by overwhelming popular request that we cannot deny.
The authors make their purpose clear. They intended to shock, and they succeeded. Although tragic stories dominate the book, there’s lots of practical advice too. It’s an angry book … an excellent book – a call to action and a cry on behalf of unhappy children.
Gerald Haigh. Times Education Supplement.
Marr and Field have coined the word ‘bullycide’ to describe the tragic decision of children to choose suicide rather than face another day of bullying. The book provides statistics, case studies and expert advice.

Optimal Management Of Septic Shock: Rapid Recognition And Institution Of Therapy Are Crucial This Condition. Already The Most Common Cause Of Death In ... In The Future. (postgraduate Medicine) - James R. Gossage And Stephen J. Fitch
Septic shock is the most common cause of death in intensive care units in the United States, and its incidence is rising. This growth is most likely due to the increased use of invasive devices and immunosuppressive therapies, higher numbers of immunocompromised patients, and increasing antibiotic resistance. In this article, Drs Fitch and Gossage discuss the natural history and diagnosis of septic shock and optimal management, including optimization of organ perfusion, fluid therapy, and use of vasoactive agents. Optimal management of septic shock: rapid recognition and institution of therapy are crucial.

Nasa's Origins And The Dawn Of The Space Age - David S. F. Portree
This monograph relates for a general audience the origins of the space age, the creation of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and the first tentative steps toward an operational capability to undertake space exploration. To a very real extent, NASA emerged in 1958 out of the "cold war" rivalries of the United States and the Soviet Union, which were engaged in a broad battle over the ideologies and allegiances of the nonaligned nations of the world. Space exploration was one major area contested. The Soviets gained the upper hand in this competition on October 4, 1957, when they launched Sputnik I, the first artificial satellite to orbit Earth, as part of a larger scientific effort associated with the International Geophysical Year.
NASA began to conduct space missions within months of its creation, especially Project Mercury to ascertain the possibilities of human spaceflight. Even so, these activities were constrained by a modest budget and a measured pace on the part of NASA leadership. That changed rather suddenly on May 25, 1961, when President John F. Kennedy, responding to perceived challenges to U.S. leadership in science and technology, announced a lunar landing effort that would place an American on the Moon before the end of the decade.
This monograph relates the story of those early years and reprints facsimile copies of key documents. At the time of the NASA's fortieth anniversary, it seems fitting to revisit its origins and to reflect on its accomplishments since.
