The life of Descartes told to young adults
The most famous line ever uttered in philosophy is, "I think, therefore I am", by Rene Descartes. He was a very original thinker in philosophy and mathematics; the development of the Cartesian coordinate system greatly simplified many areas of mathematics. Descartes also lived at a time when new ideas were upsetting the established order and those who pushed those new ideas could face censure and even death. The grip the Catholic Church had over Europe had been pried open, with northern Europe now under the sway of the alternate Protestant faith. Both were conservative in outlook, neither was very amenable to new ideas that could be considered a challenge to their systems of beliefs. This led to years of many different wars, although as Hoyt correctly points out, religion was a secondary concern in many of them. They were classic struggles over political power and the protagonist's primary use of religion was to further their personal ambitions.Read more

Weird science
An earlier reviewer characterized the five creationist articles in this book as being "atrocious."I think that's a fair judgment. A decent introduction to the issue.
This slim volume contains 11 articles, six by evolutionists, five by creationists. Read more

A solid introduction to the debate on euthanasia and death
"A Right to Die?" is one of the titles in the Viewpoint series that looks at the debate over euthanasia and other related topics dealing with the idea of dying.Richard Walker's book has two chief values for young readers who are dealing with this particular topic.First, he lays out the various sides of the debate, which means you will find both your view (whatever it might be) and those of others who hold different views.This is especially important because in a debate you do not want to ignore the views of your opponents, you want to show that your position is stronger.However, you cannot do that if you do not know what those views happen to be.Chapter after chapter, Walker shows the various attitudes, beliefs, values and behaviors of those arguing over this controversy.Second, Walker provides choice quotations from various experts and primary documents that can be used to support your position in a paper or oral presentation.As a general rule, every time Walker lays out a particular part of a position, he tries to provide a corresponding quotation.By identifying the sources of these quotes, he also gives students additional sources from which they can find more supporting evidence.Read more
