Their ideas have always aroused intense controversy and invariably given new direction to scientific research. In Cosmic Life~Force, the most ambitious synthesis of their theories, the authors connect the "evolution of life and inrelligence on Earth with processes that are cosmic on the grandest possible scale." Citing current data derived from space probes and biological and astronomical research, Hoyle and Wickramasinghe eloquently support their startling claim that life on Earth originated from and has been continually influenced by the influx of freeze~dried "cosmic bacteria" carried by comets and other celestial objects. Applying this theory first to Earth, they then move to the other planets of our solar system and beyond to other galaxies. They conclude that the universe as a whole is controlled by an intelligent life~force that overcomes all other forces of nature. Mind boggling in its implications, this book makes an incredible contribution to the fields of astronomy, cosmology, evolutionary biology, and medicine. Intriguing interpretations are presented for a number of scientific mysteries including: the origin of life on Earth and the evolutionary process the persistence of the Great Red Spot of Jupiter the spread of infectious disease (from influenza to AIDS) the dramatic extinction of the dinosaurs. Superbly written and richly illustrated, Cosmic Life~Force is popular science writing at its most provocative, a brilliant union of compelling scientific argument and profound spiritual meditation. …

"It has generally been assumed that democracy, involving competition between contending parties within a constitutional framework which allows a free choice for the electorate, is not a viable form of politics in Africa and is largely irrelevant in a continent dominated by the authoritarianism of single-party and military rule. In Democracy in Black Africa: Survival and Revival, John A. Wiseman argues in detail, for the first time, that such a view is not only unduly pessimistic but is at odds with the evidence. Concentrating on the continued existence of democracy in Africa rather than its collapse, on its successes rather than its failures, a reassessment of the role of democracy emerges which is at once both positive and realistic.".…
