"Who seeing the stunning order in networks linking tens upon tens of thousands of variables can fail to entertain a central thought: If ever we are to attain a final theory in biology, we will surely have to see that we are the natural expressions of a deeper order. Ultimately, we will discover in our creation myth that we were expected after all." - Stuart Kauffman "Exhilarating photographs and inspiring words take us on a microscopic tour of miraculous phenomena - within the human body and elsewhere - leading to a sense that our existence in no accident. This photographic journey into inner space utilizes microscopic imagery to document the beautiful and mysterious realm of the tiniest components of human life - brain waves, nerve endings, cell structures, acid crystals - revealing a symmetry, a perfection, and, ultimately, a revelation. It also delves into the darker side of viruses, cancers, and other seemingly evil presences - naturally evoking the question of why evil exists. From creation to destruction to transcendent images, the book takes a journey into areas beyond our everyday perception. Illuminating quotes from the finest literary and scientific minds - Pasteur, Tolstoy, Einstein, St. Augustine, Thoreau, Darwin, just to name a few - support the idea that science may prove to be a path to God and that the human brain itself, through what researchers are now calling its "spirituality circuit," is wired to lead us to that path. With an introduction by Wall Street Journal science editor Sharon Belgely, Inside the Mind of God promises to provide further insight into the abiding question: Why is there something rather than nothing?".…

"During his two terms as the fortieth president of the United States, Ronald Reagan kept a daily diary in which he recorded, by hand, his innermost thoughts and observations on the extraordinary, the historic, and the routine day-to-day occurrences of his presidency. Now, nearly two decades after he left office, this remarkable record -- the only daily presidential diary in American history -- is available for the first time. Brought together in one volume and edited by historian Douglas Brinkley, The Reagan Diaries provides a striking insight into one of this nation's most important presidencies and sheds new light on the character of a true American leader. Whether he was in his White House residence study or aboard Air Force One, each night Reagan wrote about the events of his day, which often included his relationships with other world leaders Mikhail Gorbachev, Pope John Paul II, Mohammar al-Qaddafi, and Margaret Thatcher, among others, and the unforgettalbe moments that defined the era -- from his first inauguration to the end of the Cold War, the Iran hostagte crisis to John Hinckley Jr.'s assassination attempt. The Reagan Diaries reveals more than just Reagan's political experiences: many entries are concerned with the president's private thoughts and feelings -- his love and devotion for Nancy Reagan and their family, his belief in God and the power of prayer. Seldom before has the American public been given access to the unfiltered experiences and opinions of a president in his own words, from Reagan's descriiption of near-drowning at the home of Hollywood friend Claudette Colbert to his determination to fight Fidel Castro at every turn and keep the Caribbean Sea from becoming a "Red Lake." To read these diaries -- filled with Reagan's trademark wit, sharp intelligence, and humor -- is to gain a unique understanding of one of the most beloved occupants of the Oval Office in our nation's history." -- from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. "Thanks to the publication of The Reagan Diaries, scholars and the rest of our fellow citizens now have this well-chosen and intriguing compendium of what one of our most important presidents jotted almost daily. Especially in this era when presidents are cautioned to avoid making notes, it is illuminating to see how the world looked to Ronald Reagan through eight of the most eventful years in American history." -- Michael Beschloss. "Historians will treasure Doughals Brinkley's superbly edited version of President Reagan's diaries for generations to come. In one remarkable entry after another, the president's compelling voice, strength of character, and sunny personality come vividly to life." -- Doris Kearns Goodwin. "The Reagan Diaries is a welcome addition to the Reagan presidential materials. As we move toward an in-depth assessment of the Reagan presidency based on a growing documentary record, The Reagan Diaries gives us a fresh look at the president's daily activities and his decision making. THe diaries will be a prince source for studying one of AMerica's more important presidents." -- Robert Dallek.
