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

Lee Strobel

Zondervan, 2005

Convincing Evidence for the Existence of God
"We are, by astronomical standards, a pampered, cosseted, cherished group of creatures; our Darwinian claim to have done it all ourselves is as ridiculous and as charming as a baby's brave efforts to stand on its own feet and refuse his mother's hand. If the universe ...

Trick or Treatment: The Undeniable Facts about Alternative Medicine

Simon Singh, Edzard Ernst

W. W. Norton, 2008

The Truth About Alternative Treatments
Doctors have treated patients for thousands of years, and patients generally trusted their doctors. This was true when doctors based their treatments, like bleeding, on superstition rather than science, treatments that did nothing, or that even made things worse. ...

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.

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 ...

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.

The Language of God: A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief

Francis S. Collins

Free Press, 2007

Courage
The Languag of God had a profound effect on me. As a corporate director for a fortune 500 company I continually strive to incorporate spirituality in the workplace. Not as an in-your-face endeavor, but rather as an example. With the way the world is becoming and ...

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 ...

The New Evidence That Demands A Verdict Fully Updated To Answer The Questions Challenging Christians Today

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 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 ...

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 ...

Treat Your Own Rotator Cuff

Jim Johnson

Dog Ear Publishing, LLC, 2007

Well, it worked
I hurt my rotator cuffs doing some bag work. I waited a long time (I'm a guy) to go into an ortho. He gave me the advice to work on my posture, lose weight and a photocopy of some exercises to do. Told me that how I injured myself didn't matter, fixing it was what ...

CrunchTime: Evidence (Crunch Time)

Steven Emanuel

Aspen Publishers, Inc., 2007

Great Review
I highly recommend this book (I have the '07 edition). It has flow charts, an outline, short answer questions, and multiple choice. It's a great review before finals. Definitely worth it's price too.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Adult Asperger Syndrome (Guides to Individualized Evidence-Based Treatment)

Valerie L. Gaus

The Guilford Press, 2007

Are you an Aspie?
I find it hard to believe there is only one review for this book! I am an undiagnosed Aspie and I found this book to be beyond belief. OK, I haven't read the whole book and I've started about 5 others on AS. I guess it comes with the territory. What I am ...

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" ...

The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Bible
2 May 2008 - This is a is a useful antidote to faith-phobic propaganda currently disseminated by bestselling authors like Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and Sam Harris. Hutchinson outlines material from less accessible, heavily scholarly works that confirm the ...
