Lucidly presenting ideas about the rise of complexity in our genetic, neuronal, ecological, and ultimately cosmological settings, the author takes readers on a provocative tour of modern science's quest to understand our place in nature and in our universe.

Advanced Methodologies
Editor William Grassie brings together eight pioneering thinkers to propose new ways of pursuing the scientific study of religious and spiritual phenomena and present research that is increasingly suggestive of a profound and critical role for spirituality and religion in promoting human health and wellbeing. The essays not only promote innovative research methodologies, but also develop creative insights into the forces that positively shape and expand world religions and their conceptualization of the sacred.
Woman, Man, and God in Modern Islam
Historian Theodore Friend recently set out alone across Asia and the Middle East on a quest to understand firsthand the life situations of women in Indonesia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Turkey. The book recounts his remarkable journey and relates hundreds of encounters and conversations with people he met along the way. Commingling a deep respect for Islam and his faith in the potential of women to change their worlds, he presents an open, exploratory outsider's perspective on women in five very different Islamic cultures.
