Praise for James Swain and Midnight Rambler&#8220;Midnight Rambler is a heavy hitter, fast and spare. Travis McGee meets Philip Marlow.&#8221;&#8211;Randy Wayne White, author of Hunter&#8217;s Moon&#8220;Moves like a bullet train on overdrive . . . I tore through this one without putting on the brakes. I guarantee you will, too!&#8221;&#8211;Michael Connelly&#8220;Midnight Rambler kept me up all night long, and Jack Carpenter is as appealing a hero as I&#8217;ve ever met. The only problem with Swain&#8217;s riveting thrillers is they end.&#8221;&#8211;Tess Gerritsen, author of The Bone Garden&#8220;Swain is one terrific writer.&#8221;&#8211;The Wall Street Journal

A Novel of Suspense

Midnight Rambler

The second revised edition (1st ed., CH Feb’07, 44-3251) of this masterful work by McCala (Mount Saint Vincent Univ., Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada) further develops a historical account of debates between creationists and proponents of evolution. Central to the debates is the tension between modern science and religion, between objective history and history grounded in scripture. The central problem in recent attempts to accommodate scripture to modern science is how to interpret biblical texts rather than questions about evolutionary fact and theory. McCalla reveals the essential duplicity of scientific creationism and proponents of intelligent design in purporting to revise the very conception of historical and scientific inquiry to promote scriptural doctrine. Opponents of creationism see the Bible as portraying myths of origins rather than historical reality. McCalla argues his case forcefully, but the criticism is never strident n tone. He suggests that attempts to find a rational compromise between religious commitment to scriptural tradition and scientific views of nature fail to recognize the underlying threat of ‘reactionary biblicism’ to the values of a liberal-democratic society. This fine work should interest anyone concerned with the historical and contemporary relations of science and religion. Includes a good index and wide-ranging bibliography. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-level undergraduates through researcheser/faculty; general readers.

»(…) Und was sich da in Briefen, Tagebuchaufzeichnungen und anderen schriftlichen Zeugnissen offenbart, eröffnet bislang unbekannte Perspektiven auf Sophie Scholl. Schärfer konturiert erscheint nun ihre Persönlichkeit, deutlich sichtbarer werden ihre Stärken und ebenso ihre Schwächen. Die übermächtige Ikone einer heldenhaften Bewegung bekommt Leben eingehaucht, wird farbiger, facettenreicher, widersprüchlicher.« frau und mutter
