In addition to providing a thorough analysis of the consumer benchmarks and their relationship to the goals of the Directive, at a more practical level, the book provides insight into the working and consequences of the benchmarks that can be used in the evaluation of the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive and its application by the CJEU.

As our cosmos expands, what new spiritual truths await our understanding and appreciation? These reflections on the world around us explain the scientific principles at work and explore their meaning for Christians. Garon reviews what he terms the ""worlds stuff"" as ""outward expressions of the inner life of God.""
Line drawings and other illustrations demonstrate the scientific principles at work. Sketches, actual and textual, of theologians such as G. K. Chesterton, Karl Rahner, and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin bring theological depth to scientific understanding. The result is a sense of astonishment at the grandeur of Gods grace running through all creation.
