Chance or Dance: An Evaluation of Design

Title: Chance or Dance: An Evaluation of Design

Author: Jimmy H. Davis, Harry L. Poe

Pages: 236

Call Number: BL240.3 .D37 2008

Synopsis: Chance or Dance An Evaluation of Design is a revised edition of Designer Universe (Broadman & Holman Publishers, 2002), which sold out in its first edition and has been out of print since 2005. The book, which provides an overview of design and clarification of the controversial Intelligent Design Movement, has been edited and expanded in light of recent developments in the ID debate. As the controversy over Intelligent Design has grown over the past few years, there has been a tendency to confuse all statements about design with the Intelligent Design Movement, and to confuse any affirmation of creation with Scientific Creationism, Davis and Poe point out. They begin with a brief historical perspective of the design argument and then examine the major breakthroughs in cosmology, math and physics, and chemistry and biology that have provided renewed speculation in design. They have added new material that shows that the idea of design is far more expansive than the ID movements version of it a discussion of Dawkins interpretation of genetic determinism; a chapter that explores the tendency since Darwin to assume that the presence of an observable cause excludes the possibility of divine involvement; and further reflections on wonder and awe that take into account the recent surge of interest in this area. Their study concludes with an argument for the correlation of faith and sensory experience and with the suggestion that science has been successful at describing processes, but has failed at explaining origins. Chance or Dance is ideal for students and general readers interested in understanding how modern science gives evidence for the creation of nature by the God of the Bible. -- Retrieved from Books in Print 9/21/09.

A Corporate Solution to Global Poverty: How Multinationals Can Help the Poor and Invigorate Their Own Legitimacy

Title: A Corporate Solution to Global Poverty: How Multinationals Can Help the Poor and Invigorate Their Own Legitimacy

Author: George Lodge, Craig WIlson

Pages: 198

Call Number: HD60.5.D44 L63 2006

Synopsis: "Extreme poverty threatens the very underpinnings of our ever-shrinking world. George Lodge and Craig Wilson argue that corporations must lead the fight against global poverty. Their idea of a World Development Corporation will provoke heated discussion-and, I hope, constructive action-in corporate boardrooms and the broader international development community."--Peter D. Bell, President and CEO, CARE""A Corporate Solution to Global Poverty" is a fresh and original approach to the economics and ethics of globalization. Invoking the crisis in corporate legitimacy, the authors of this stimulating book argue persuasively that the reduction of world poverty would restore legitimacy to multinational corporate life. Along the way, readers will absorb much interesting nformation about the global state of play and the presentation of a prospective solution."--Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., Pulitzer Prize-winning historian"In an attempt to reduce global poverty, some focus on rock concerts, others on macroeconomic theory, others build ever larger bureaucracies. Lodge and Wilson do not hesitate to dissect, deconstruct, and devour ideologies, policies, and institutions that have promised a lot and delivered very little. They provide an alternative answer, one that is clear, hard-headed, obvious, and mostly ignored; business is and will remain the driving part of the equation. If you are interested in results, this is an entertaining and smart book. If you are a theoretician you are likely to become increasingly unhappy as you confront a great deal of common sense delivered with passion and humor."--Juan Enriguez, President of Synthetic Genomics and author of "As The Future CatchesYou""George Lodge and Craig Wilson offer a fascinating review of the fast changing role of big business and its relations with the international community and civil society. The authors comprehensively outline the increasingly complex relationships that multinationals must manage in the face of increased demands to do more than just make profit."--Frannie L?autier, Vice President, World Bank Institute"A very well written book on an important subject. It will reach a broad audience."-- Retrieved from Books in Print, 9/21/09.
