The Blind Watchmaker: Why the Evidence of Evolution Reveals a Universe Without Design

Richard Dawkins

W. W. Norton, 1996

The Blind Watchmaker
Not an easy book to read, but well worth the effort. Understanding the evidence and arguments for evolution requires effort and thought, whereas believing in invisible and untestable gods is easy, which is why most people choose the latter. Dawkins explains clearly why ...

W. W. Norton, 2008

Be prepared to revisit your thinking about acupuncture, homeopathy, chiropractic therapy and holistic medicine
If you're a fan of acupuncture, homeopathy, chiropractic therapy, or holistic medicine, you probably won't want to read TRICK OR TREATMENT by Simon Singh and Dr. Edzard Ernst . . . its premise, as stated in the subtitle, is to present THE UNBELEVABLE FACTS ABOUT ...

The Language of God: A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief

Francis S. Collins

Free Press, 2007

An Honest Discussion by a Leading Scientist
Francis Collins is perhaps the world's leading scientist. His writing defeats the myth that science and religion are not compatible. They actually are similar in methodology and in their concern for truth.

Josh McDowell

Thomas Nelson, 1999

good reading
This is a readable book for the lay person. Very thought provoking. It is written in the comman man's language.

The Case for a Creator: A Journalist Investigates Scientific Evidence That Points Toward God

Lee Strobel

Zondervan, 2005

A Great Case for a Creator and against Evolution and Naturalism
This book makes a great case for three important ideas. First, science can not tell us, and is unlikely to be able to tell us, how the universe began. A Creator who transcends time, space, and matter is the most reasonable cause of the "Big Bang." Similarly, science ...

Nursing Diagnosis Handbook: An Evidence-Based Guide to Planning Care (Nursing Diagnosis Handbook)

Betty J. Ackley, Gail B. Ladwig

Mosby, 2007

Don't go to nursing school without it!
I have the 7th edition which was in our required book list for school. It is one of the only books I have used every semester, and I'm sure I'll use it in this last semester. I couldn't have done my evidence based papers or nursing care plans without it.

Visual Explanations: Images and Quantities, Evidence and Narrative

Edward R. Tufte

Graphics Press, 1997

another great book by Tufte on graphs
In this third book by Tufte on graphics, he provides great examples through history where good pictures conveyed important information to decision makers and bad graphics left uncetainty and indecision. A great success story is the identification of the source of the ...

The Case for Christ: A Journalist's Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus

Lee Strobel

Zondervan, 1998

Excellent presentation of the Facts to expose the Truth!
This will increase your belief in God if you already believe in God. If you are unsure of where you will be spending Eternal Life and if the Bible is real then this is proof. The evidence is presented is a great way and can not be disputed. I am a Christian, but it ...

Evidence Examples & Explanations, 6e (Examples & Explanations)

Best

Aspen Publishers, 2007

A great help!
A really great book, it finally brought some clarity to evidence. But be prepared to spend some time reading this book, as it has fairly in-depth coverage. Even so, I found it a very valuable study tool.

Beautiful Evidence

Edward R. Tufte

Graphics Press, 2006

A Repeat and Tackle on Previous Work
Good volume for those who may want an slightly deeper insight into visual communication. For the most part the analysis is well crafted, with stimulating insights. Sometimes a bit too repetitive, and obsessed with its own neurosis. For instance in the struggle against ...

The Case for Christ - MM 6-Pack: A Journalist's Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus

Lee Strobel

Zondervan, 1998

Cost Effective
If you want to make this book available to a large group (like a Sunday School class), this is a cost effective way to do so. The font size is very readable, which is not always the case in books at this price range.

Law in a Flash Evidence

Steven Emanuel

Aspen Publishers, Inc., 2005

Great Gift!
There is nothing more riveting than the law in a flash series - especially the Evidence flashcards. I remember Christmases past, sitting around the sparkling tree at the old cabin and laughing over the intricacies of hearsay with the whole family. Every time I see a ...

Sue Grafton: Three Complete Novels: 'D' Is for Deadbeat, 'E' Is for Evidence, 'F' Is for Fugitive

Sue Grafton

Wings, 2001

Three books in one-COOL!
It was so easy to read three in a row. I think I had the whole three books finished in three days! It's nice to have many books into one because then you don't have to buy the next one or wait to go to the library when it opens next, or even to see if the library has ...

Body of Evidence: A Scarpetta Novel (Kay Scarpetta)

Patricia Cornwell

Pocket, 2004

Patricia, what can I say?
Although Ms. Cornwell is wordy, and sometimes it's irritating, I feel she weaves quite a tale. This book is interesting and a definite page-turner, if only to bypass the descriptions and needless explainations for the nitty-gritty "that's what I read Cornwell for" ...
