When God Laughs (Literary Classics)1 review
Jack London
Prometheus Books, 2004
London's best and worst
London's literary work has been sliced and diced into so many "greatest hits" collections; it's always great when a publisher rereleases a volume of his stories in their original collected form. This gives the reader a glimpse into a particular stage of London's career, and also provides the ...

Ian McDonald
Pyr, 2007
Very good book but takes some work
+ Outstanding read
I have to say that I enjoyed the author's grasp of India in all its permutations, particularly India in the year 2040. The plot takes a tad long to unfold but the payoff in the end is worth it. This is a very different look at what the future might hold for the US and India when it comes to AI ...

Making God Laugh: Human Arrogance and Ecological Humility
Anne Primavesi
Polebridge Press, 2004
"Making God Laugh examines the claim that we can speak with divine authority about God's plans for us and the world. Such arrogance must surely make God laugh! But its effects on our relationships with other religions are no laughing matter. Neither is the claim that God has made us the center of the universe which has legitimized the exploitation of the earth's natural resources. Anne Primavesi ...
