Coming off the release of yet another children's work of fiction, and before I start on the next, it's time to look at some non-fiction print books that I've owned for a while, read some time ago, and never got around to blogging. These will all be science-based works, mostly about evolution, that have been useful to me, educational and helpful.
It's been a while since I've done battle with the idiot creationists, the main reason being that it's a waste of time. There is no creation science. It does not exist in any way, shape, or form. There is creation religion - blind belief unsupported by any evidence - and it's a waste of time arguing with those who swallow those lies, because there is no amount of fact, or evidence, or science, or truth that you cam set before them that will ever impact in any way upon their brainwashed hive mind. But if you want to take on that hopeless challenge, or evne just be better armed to defend your own scientific views, these are some of the boosk you might find useful to have on your reading list.
In the way that The Greatest Show on Earth was a paean to evolution, this book does the same thing for science in general. It's divided into intriguing chapters thus:
- The Anaesthetic of Familiarity
- Drawing Room of Dukes
- Barcodes in the Stars
- Barcodes on the Air
- Barcodes at the Bar
- Hoodwink'd with Faery Fancy
- Unweaving the Uncanny
- Huge Cloudy Symbols of a High Romance
- The Selfish Cooperator
- The Genetic Book of the Dead
- Reweaving the World
- The Balloon of the Mind
