Teaching About Evolution and the Nature of Science
It is an excellent, balanced presentation of evolution and how it should be taught in public schools.
It presents clearly what most people fail to understand.
This is a great book for teachers, and every teacher who cares about scientific truth should read it.
Eaters of the Dead
Eaters of the Dead takes elements of the Anglo-Saxon epic Beowulf
and the Arab Ibn Fadlan's account of his journeys among the Rus, and
works them into a thriller. The historical detail is handled reasonably
well, the story is fast-paced and gripping, and the contrast between the
Arab/Islamic and Viking cultures is effectively exploited. The result may
not be a great novel, but it's an entertaining one and should appeal to
those interested in the period. Neanderthal survival into the modern era
is a bit of a stretch, but no more so than the science in
Jurassic Park.
The movie based on
Eaters of the Dead is called
The 13th Warrior.
