"The book examines the areas of greatest concern regarding our future as a species: war and violence, hatred and holocaust, sexism and discrimination, climate change and heroism, love and religion, forgiveness and suffering. With editing support from the current Director of the Altruistic Behavior Institute and HSU Professor Dr. Ronnie Swartz, this book describes two sides to the future our children stand to inherit: the glass half full and the glass half empty. This collection of critical research addresses the direction humanity is taking in our interconnected world and advocates seeing this future in realistic, yet optimistic, terms. Despite the significant challenges that humanity faces moving forward, Dr. Oliner's own work 'indicates that goodness, defined as concern for others and for making the world a better place, is on the rise.'"--Publisher's catalog.

This novel is about eight people who think they are ordinary but are to become extraordinary members of humanity. They come from all the major land masses of earth. Superior beings so far beyond our imagination, proceed to advance the bodies and minds of these eight people so that they can change the course of humanity. To many, these beings will seem to be gods, but they are not supernatural beings, merely a full star generation ahead of us. Their attempt to change our aggressive nature forces these eight men and women to establish bonds that cannot be broken. The only message of importance is that humanity’s survival must come first. The main theme is science fiction. However, the elements of adventure, of romance, of intrigue, of sexual encounters, and of fantasy all combine to form a story that will touch your soul. This book gives the reader a galaxy of experiences.

William Evans, the award-winning poet and cofounder of the popular culture website Black Nerd Problems, offers an emotionally vulnerable poetry collection exploring the themes of inheritances, dreams, and injuries that are passed down from one generation to the next and delving into the lived experience of a black man in the American suburbs today. In We Inherit What the Fires Left, award-winning poet William Evans embarks on a powerful new collection that explores the lived experience of race in the American suburbs and what dreams and injuries are passed from generation to generation. Fall under the spell of Evans’s boldly intimate, wise, and emotionally candid voice in these urgent, electrifying poems. This eloquent collection explores not only what these inheritances are composed of, but what price the bearer must pay for such legacies, and the costly tolls exacted on both body and spirit. Evans writes searingly from the perspective of the marginalized, delivering an unflinching examination of what it is like to be a black man raising a daughter in predominantly white spaces, and the struggle to build a home and a future while carrying the weight of the past. However, in beautiful and quiet scenes of domesticity with his daughter or in thoughtful reflection within himself, Evans offers words of hope to readers, proving that resilience can ultimately bloom even in the face of prejudice. Readers of Ta-Nehisi Coates and Hanif Abdurraqib will find a brilliant, fresh new talent to add to their lists in William Evans.

Dawkins and Hitchens have convinced many western intellectuals that secularism is the way forward. But most people don't read their books before deciding whether to be religious. Instead, they inherit their faith from their parents, who often innoculate them against the elegant arguments of secularists. And what no one has noticed is that far from declining, the religious are expanding their share of the population: in fact, the more religious people are, the more children they have. The cumulative effect of immigration from religious countries, and religious fertility will be to reverse the secularisation process in the West. Not only will the religious eventually triumph over the non-religious, but it is those who are the most extreme in their beliefs who have the largest families. Within Judaism, the Ultra-Orthodox may achieve majority status over their liberal counterparts by mid-century. Islamist Muslims have won the culture war in much of the Muslim world, and their success provides a glimpse of what awaits the Christian West and Israel. Based on a wealth of demographic research, considering questions of multiculturalism and terrorism, Kaufmann examines the implications of the decline in liberal secularism as religious conservatism rises - and what this means for the future of western modernity.
