Giant Ground Sloth
Slow, heavy steps rumble through the woods. The steps grow louder as a single, shockingly large animal lurches into view. Its body is almost bearlike. But it is much, much larger than any bear. With its blunt snout it looks more like a hugely overgrown hamster---a hamster the size of an elephant. The large beast moves slowly and strangely, swaying from side to side. Near a tall, broad-leafed tree it stops to eat. Lions prowl on the edge of the woods searching for food. They catch the scent of the beast, but they show no interest. No one cares to disturb it, not while it's eating---not at any other time, either. This is the Giant Ground Sloth! Book jacket.

Has Science Displaced the Soul?
Can science explain powerful human emotions such as love and happiness? Or, are these emotions something more than the action of biochemicals and electrical impulses? Science is constantly uncovering the mysteries of our nature, but we are uneasy about submitting our most intimate feelings to its scrutiny. Religion tells us that God is love but neuroscience counters with love as a well-timed trickle of transmitters and hormones. In the 21st century, is it necessary to discard our traditional beliefs of a loving God in favor of dopamine? With doctorates in both mathematics and theology, Kevin Sharpe explores these notions and asks the question, Has Science Displaced the Soul? Unflinching in f...

Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies (20th Anniversary Edition)
"Fascinating.... Lays a foundation for understanding human history."—Bill Gates In this "artful, informative, and delightful" (William H. McNeill, New York Review of Books) book, Jared Diamond convincingly argues that geographical and environmental factors shaped the modern world. Societies that had had a head start in food production advanced beyond the hunter-gatherer stage, and then developed religion --as well as nasty germs and potent weapons of war --and adventured on sea and land to conquer and decimate preliterate cultures. A major advance in our understanding of human societies, Guns, Germs, and Steel chronicles the way that the modern world came to be and stunningly dismantles racially based theories of human history. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the Phi Beta Kappa Award in Science, the Rhone-Poulenc Prize, and the Commonwealth club of California's Gold Medal.
Gastornis
In the Middle of a thick forest a pair of small dog-size animals happily nibble at the tender leaves of a low-growing bush. Above them, birds flit through the treetops, filling the hot, moist air with honks and shrill whistles. Another bird is also on the scene. But this one is quiet to stands upright, and not on a tree but next to it, on the ground. This bird is huge, at least 6 feet tall. Without pausing to think, the small animals whirl away from the bushes and start running wildly through the forest. Right behind them the feathered beast runs, its huge feet thundering on the ground. Nearly on top of the panicked animals, the bird opens it enormous beak and slices downward. The giant bird is Gastornis! Book jacket.
