Paperback. Condición: Good. Miller is a believer, but he is also certain that we evolved - and this book is about why the two are not mutually exclusive; in fact, the idea of each enriches the other. There is an enormous market out there for whom this issue is of real interest and import. Much of contemporary thought on evolution has centered on the mistaken assumption that evolution requires a strictly materialist view of the origins of all organisms - including human beings. This book will debunk that myth, arguing that the real world is less certain and far more interesting than either the scientific mainstream or creationists assume. Properly understood, evolution adds depth and meaning not only to a strictly scientific view of the world, but to a spiritual one, as well. Readers will find this fascinating, very clear, incisive, exciting, and thoughtful. This should sell like Gould and Wilson-brilliant, cutting-edge thinking.…

Paperback. Condición: Fair. From one of America?s best-known biologists, a revolutionary new way of thinking about evolution that shows ?why, in light of our origins, humans are still special? (Edward J. Larson, Pulitzer Prize?winning author of Evolution).Once we had a special place in the hierarchy of life on Earth?a place confirmed by the literature and traditions of every human tribe. But then the theory of evolution arrived to shake the tree of human understanding to its roots. To many of the most passionate advocates for Darwin?s theory, we are just one species among multitudes, no more significant than any other. Even our minds are not our own, they tell us, but living machines programmed for nothing but survival and reproduction. In The Human Instinct, Brown University biologist Kenneth R. Miller ?confronts both lay and professional misconceptions about evolution? (Publishers Weekly, starred review), showing that while evolution explains how our bodies and brains were shaped, that heritage does not limit or predetermine human behavior. In fact, Miller argues in this ?highly recommended? (Forbes) work that it is only thanks to evolution that we have the power to shape our destiny. Equal parts natural science and philosophy, The Human Instinct makes an ?absorbing, lucid, and engaging?case that it was evolution that gave us our humanity? (Ursula Goodenough, professor of biology at Washington University in St. Louis).…

Hardback. Condición: Fair. Much contemporary thought has centered on the mistaken assumption that evolution requires a strictly materialist view of the origins of all organisms, including human beings. However, in Finding Darwin's God, biology professor Kenneth R. Miller persuasively shows that the difficulties evolution presents for Western religions are more apparent than real. Miller offers a surprising resolution to the evolutionism vs. creationism debate, demonstrating how, properly understood, evolution adds depth and meaning not only to a strictly scientific view of the world, but also to a spiritual one. Miller is a religious person, but he is also certain that we evolved. Finding Darwin's God argues that the two credos are not mutually exclusive; in fact, one enriches the other. This incisive, exciting and thoughtful work shows that the real world is less certain and far more interesting than either the scientific mainstream or creationists assume. Kenneth R. Miller, a recipient of numerous awards for outstanding teaching, is a cell biologist, a professor of biology at Brown University, and the coauthor of widely used high school and college biology textbooks. In addition, he has written articles that have appeared in numerous scientific journals and magazines, including Nature, Scientific American, Cell, and Discover. He lives in Rehoboth, Massachusetts. Miller is both an outstanding scientist and a gifted teacher. In this scholarly book, he uses his unusual abilities to explain the overwhelming evidence for evolution in a lucid and very entertaining way.--Bruce Alberts, president of the National Academy of Sciences.…

Hardback. Condición: Good. An inspiring book about the power and the passion of science Few have weighed in on the nation's contentious debate over evolution as effectively as Kenneth R. Miller. In Only a Theory, Miller-the highly regarded scientist who offered expert testimony at the 2005 trial over the teaching of evolution in Dover, Pennsylvania-eloquently shows how Intelligent Design collapses at the very moment one begins to take it seriously. Miller shows that the attack on evolution is a broader assault on the skepticism and reason that have fueled America's remarkable scientific advances, and offers an encouraging prescription for how we can save the nation's scientific soul to which we owe so much.…
