There is a tendency to assume that major issues such as presented here are under control by somebody.  This is a reminder that we all need to be concerned.

Wonderful book addressing the historical underpinnings of the concept of probability. This is one of those rare instances where an author can bring about a scholarly, yet highly accessible treatment of an important issue.

A very important book about a very important topic. People and individuals that have felt marginalized and oppressed can find a voice that speaks for them. The challenges of healing the wounds of Internalized Oppression are many, and unfortunately the book doesn't go into that enough. Perhaps it's because it's such a new topic that, although it's pervasive and been around for centuries, it's only beginning to come to light.

Thorough, clear, and enlightening. Kudos to the author for fairly presenting the many sides of this complex and under-appreciated issue.

For anyone interested in the topics covered in this book, I would suggest it. The authors do a good job of parsing out complex issues in interesting and readable ways. I'm not sure why the emphasis is so strong on pedagogy as their points are well worth while to anyone.

Great DVD that discusses an important concept in our fundamental understanding of our world and universe. The topic is presented in an entertaining manner that I have to be appealing to non-scientists as well as scientists.  The mathematicians and physicists are engaging and clear in their expositions. I highly recommend this DVD.

Same-Gender relationships are a hot topic.  We see stories in the news about cities, counties and states testing the legal boundaries regarding same-gender civil unions and marriages.  The topic is hot within many churches as well.  Perhaps even more than in the secular world, within the context of the church, the discussion regarding accepting or rejecting same-gender unions generates strong opinions and passions.
One Christian denomination currently undergoing a formal study regarding this issue is the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).  This book seeks to provide a resource for congregations that have begun such conversations.  It is a relatively small book, (96 pages) that does an exceptional job in laying a groundwork by which people of faith may learn, talk and yet agree to disagree with one another.  The Rev. Dr. Craig Nessan is the Academic Dean and Professor at Wartburg Theological Seminary in Dubuque, Iowa, a Lutheran seminary.  Although there are specific references to the matter before the ELCA, I would highly recommend this book to any person of faith who seeks to find a way through the maze of seemingly contradictory opinions on such a potentially explosive topic. I particularly like Dr. Nessan's vision of "Beyond Polarization to Common Ground" that underscores what is common in our faith and what truly can bind us together.
A well-balanced offering from a good scholar and committed Christian, this book is a dose of sanity in the midst of an often insane debate.

This is conceptual an important area of discussion.  Michael Lewis does a great job giving the background.
