I loved The Dreadful Tale of Prosper Redding by Alexandra Bracken! What a great, rich story, with layers of history, detail, and magical characters, written with incredible imagination, timing, and excitement... Readers have a lot to get their teeth into!

Book 1

Prosper Redding: The Dreadful Tale of Prosper Redding

'This is , without doubt, an impressive book. It displays a clarity of analysis and structure that is rare in works on the environment.' - Raymond L. Bryant, King's College London'It is, in short, an accessible work that is also a major contribution to the literature on sustainability.' - Raymond L. Bryant, King's College London

The Condition of Sustainability

"Jason Waller’s new book contains detailed consideration of the various forms this skepticism might take, and in each case, he provides convincing arguments for the conclusion that the fine-tuning skeptics are wrong." – Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
"Many books on cosmic fine-tuning for life have been published in the last thirty years, but Jason Waller’s Cosmological Fine-tuning Arguments is the one philosophers will want to read first. It is the most philosophically rich treatment of the topic since John Leslie’s Universes. In addition to providing a comprehensive and even-handed survey of the relevant literature, Waller has developed an array of novel arguments concerning the deep metaphysical, epistemological, theological, scientific, logical, and mathematical issues at the heart of the fine-tuning argument for the existence of God. Highly recommended."— Neil A. Manson, the University of Mississippi, editor of God and Design: The Teleological Argument and Modern Science
"This book is by far the best book on the topic that I have seen. It is a thorough, philosophically sophisticated, and up-to-date engagement with the byzantine morass of issues pertaining to cosmological fine-tuning arguments. It is now essential reading for anyone who wants to make a novel contribution to the literature on the topic. It will be of interest both to specialists (interested scientists and philosophers) and to non-specialists interested in fine-tuning and related questions from the philosophy of science."— Cory Juhl, University of Texas at Austin, author of a number of influential scholarly papers on cosmological fine-tuning
"Waller has written a fantastic book, offering the most sustained and insightful discussion of fine-tuning arguments for God’s existence to date. A proper evaluation of fine-tuning arguments requires consideration of some very technical material, and Waller manages to make accessible topics such as Bayesian inference and observation selection effects. But, refreshingly, Waller also keeps directly in his sights the "bigger" picture, i.e the contesting commitments of theism and naturalism. I look forward to using this book in my undergraduate courses on science and religion."— Lawrence Shapiro, University of Wisconsin at Madison, author of The Miracle Myth: Why Belief in the Resurrection and Supernatural is Unjustified
"Waller has written an extremely thoughtful treatment of the cosmological fine-tuning considerations and their claimed consequences, rich in nuance and detail. Recommended reading for everyone interested in the discussion, whether favourably inclined to the idea of a designer or not."— Simon Friederich, University of Groningen, author of the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy article on "Fine-Tuning."
"Waller’s book is an impressive and comprehensive discussion of fine-tuning arguments. A must read for scientists, philosophers and theologians who want to explore this most intriguing cosmic puzzle."— Clément Vidal, Free University of Brussels, author of The Beginning and the End: The Meaning of Life in a Cosmological Perspective
"Jason Waller’s Cosmological Fine-Tuning is exactly what is needed by anyone interested in this fascinating topic. He has mastered the technical issues and presented them clearly and accurately. The argument is judicious, fair, and nuanced and the conclusions are solidly supported. Highly recommended."— Keith Parsons, University of Huston at Clear Lake, author of God and the Burden of Proof and Why I am Not a Christian
"The fine-tuning of the universe for life raises a whole range of fascinating issues in physics, biology, philosophy and theology. Thanks to its fundamental physical constants and initial conditions, our universe has the seemingly very rare ability to support life forms. What should we conclude from this?　 Waller has done an admirable job of surveying the relevant terrain, from the probability and the philosophy of science, to the current state of fine-tuning in the physics literature, to modern formulations of the teleological argument. Highly recommended."— Luke Barnes, Theoretical Astrophysicist, Cosmologist and Postdoctoral Researcher at Western Sydney University and author (with Geraint F. Lewis) of Fortunate Universe: Life in a Finely-Tuned Cosmos
"Waller dives into the many complexities of the fine-tuning argument, summarizing, explaining, and opining on a range of big issues in metaphysics, epistemology, and philosophy of science with admirable clarity and comprehensiveness. Staking out positions on the value of metaphysical arguments in general, the legitimacy of theorizing about possibilities outside the scope of physical theory, and the import of empirical discoveries from within the sciences, Waller offers some compelling arguments. In the final, more speculative chapter, Waller extends his analysis in a novel direction, considering the question of whether the simple fact of our world’s being the way it is—out of the possible ways a world could have been, abstracting from the physical facts of our universe—also reveals a kind of fine-tuning. The book, as a whole, presents much that should be of interest, both for the expert in the field and for the curious layperson." — Peter Epstein, University of California at Berkeley, author of a number of scholarly articles papers on fine-tuning and the multiverse hypothesis

"Most of us take our context for granted yet would acknowledge the influence that places and people have upon us. However, within forensic settings our attention has tended to focus on locating problems and change in the individual, devoid of context and the world in which people live. As the authors who contribute to this book clearly argue – attention to the context of the person (past and present; social, cultural, organisational and physical) is long overdue. This book provides a firm foundation for addressing this neglect and provides a challenge to systematically consider the context / environment and how we use research to better understand this. This book balances theory and practice from a wide range of viewpoints and settings, with several chapters including case studies and work that is underway or recently completed. The welcome attention to the social component of the bio-psycho-social framework includes a plethora of ideas such as interpersonal dynamics, context, systemic and organisational factors, climate, environment, milieu and formal frameworks such as TC, PIE, PIPE and EE. Written by experienced practitioners, researchers and academics this is a text that practitioners, commissioners and those involved in forensic services should pay attention to."

"The authors cast clear and revealing light on the painful dilemmas posed by the single currency for the countries that use it. Their book builds on previous contributions to this debate by showing not only why the Euro is unsustainable but also, and more fundamentally, how the Euro should be dismantled. In one of their more striking arguments, the authors draw a parallel between the constraints imposed on present-day European economies by the Euro and the effects of the gold standard in the interwar period, highlighting the dangers of such an exchange rate regime for European democracies. This book contains a powerful warning about real dangers and constructive proposals for avoiding them." — Brigitte Granville, Professor of International Economics and Economic Policy at Queen Mary University of London

"This book is a sensation for three reasons:
First, it demonstrates how detrimental the euro is to Europe and the EU. Stefan Kawalec, Ernest Pytlarczyk and Kamil Kamiński deal with this subject without the usual ideological background music.
Secondly, like a medical team, they not only provide a diagnosis and a prognosis (for what will happen if nothing is being done about it), they prescribe a medicine, the patient being the Eurozone. These authors come up with what is by far the most realistic and the least disruptive way out of the Eurozone.
Thirdly, the book has been written by distinguished highly competent economists, from a country which is not a member of the Eurozone. This book will surely help avoid the Poles losing their monetary and economic independence by making the same mistake as the Austrians, the Germans and the Dutch did. But most importantly the book may help existing Eurozone members and the whole EU to exit the euro trap. That’s why this book should be widely circulated in all EU countries. It is not the first time, Poles teach Western Europeans a lesson in freedom." — Hans-Olaf Henkel, Former President of the Federation of German Industry – BDI (1995–2000). Former President of the Leibniz Association and former CEO of IBM Europe
"This book should be required reading for European economic policymakers wishing to avoid another lost European economic decade. In a highly readable and timely manner, it provides a well-researched and insightful diagnosis of the Eurozone’s economic malaise. More welcome yet, it provides a thought provoking and persuasive plan for Europe to exit its Euro trap. European policymakers would ignore this book’s constructive exchange system proposals at their peril." — Desmond Lachman, Resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. Former deputy director in the International Monetary Fund’s Policy Development and Review Department
"In distinguishing between productivity and competitiveness the authors have provided a very rigorous analysis of the role of currency adjustments in modern history, and of why the existence of the euro will make it nearly impossible for European economies to adjust without incurring severe social and political costs. This is an important book that should be read by any European policymaker or citizen interested in the role of the euro in domestic and EU-wide policymaking." — Michael Pettis, Senior Fellow at Carnegie-Tsinghua Center. Professor of Finance and Economics at　Peking University
"Building on their work on Controlled Dismantlement of the Eurozone, published in 2013 in the German Economic Review, the authors explore the consequences of an unpleasant truth that is increasingly hard to conceal: the Eurozone is not an optimal currency area, and there is no such thing as an ‘endogenous optimum currency area’. The long-run consequences of real exchange rate misalignment on productivity growth, an obvious consequence of preventing nominal exchange rate adjustment, are putting European countries on diverging trajectories. It is now up to contemporary politicians to understand that the economic unsustainability of the single currency cannot and should not be addressed through politically unsustainable measures (ranging from restricting freedom of speech on these issues to addressing imbalances through austerity policies). Kawalec, Pytlarczyk and Kamiński's book provides a way out of this trap: dismantling the Eurozone starting from the more competitive countries. Far from being a mere provocation, this proposal should be considered seriously by European governments as a precious opportunity to manage an unavoidable outcome." — Sen. Alberto Bagnai, Associate Professor of Economic Policy, Head of the Treasury and Finance Committee, Senate of the Italian Republic
