Book Description
When last did you look to the night sky and wonder what might loom in the far reaches of the universe? These are the tales of sentient life in the multiverse. Of the strange and diverse sophonts, hiveminds, anarcho-syndicalist collectives, and anyone--or anything--you could encounter in the far reaches of space. Some linger lovingly on the jagged edge of horror. Some offer immortality while others offer knowledge, hope, or comfort beyond imagining. These tales dare to explore the endless diversity of intelligent life in the multiverse. Are you brave enough to come along for the ride? These tales answer such questions as: Is there life out there? What do they rally for--or against? What do they see when they look at our blue marble in the night sky? And most importantly of all, do they party? These short stories push the reader beyond our pale definition of sentient life.

Book Description
Sometimes we think our co-workers could be from another planet, but what if that was true? What if the guy in the cubicle next door gets his work done quickly because he has two heads … or four arms? Or maybe your boss seems to always be looking over your shoulder because he’s a ghost? Is your cubicle mate a vampire or is he just addicted to espresso? Paranormal Incorporated: Office Memo 2 brings horror and humor together as classic monsters find themselves in the corporate jungle of fax machines, office memos, and that never-ending smell from the fridge. Well, that might be a werewolf’s lunch…

Book Description
"Creationism began with the fossil record and there it shall end. Before Darwin, the geological strata with their accompanying fossils formed the first geological theory of life on earth--creationism coupled to flood geology. It was Darwin who stood that theory on its head and showed that, in fact, these same fossils could be used to support his new theory of evolution by natural selection. Ever since Darwin, geology has unequivocally supported evolution and not creationism, and yet today Intelligent Design thrives in popular culture. Here at last we have a definitive collection of world-class geologists and paleontologists who systematically demonstrate precisely why geology destroys all design arguments, and reveals instead a deep and rich history of life on earth. A perfect companion to all science courses."--Michael Shermer, publisher of Skeptic magazine and author of Why Darwin Matters. "An excellent contribution on a vital issue which concerns not only geologists, but all who value any science."--Mark Isaak, author of The Counter-Creationism Handbook

Book Description
Eihei Dogen, the thirteenth-century Zen master who founded the Japanese Soto School of Zen, is renowned as one of the world's most remarkable religious thinkers. As Shakespeare does with English, Dogen utterly transforms the language of Zen, using it in novel and extraordinarily beautiful ways to point to everything important in the religious life. He is known for two major works. The first work, the massive Shobogenzo (Treasury of the True Dharma Eye), represents his early teachings and exists in myriad English translations; the second work, the Eihei Koroku, is a collection of all his later teachings, including short formal discourses to the monks training at his temple, longer informal talks, and koans with his commentaries, as well as short appreciatory verses on various topics. The Shobogenzo has received enormous attention in Western Zen and Western Zen literature, and with the publication of this watershed volume, the Eihei Koroku will surely rise to commensurate stature. Dogen's Extensive Record is the first-ever complete and scholarly translation of this monumental work into English and this edition is the first time it has been available in paperback. This edition contains extensive and detailed research and annotation by scholars, translators and Zen teachers Taigen Dan Leighton and Shohaku Okumura, as well as forewords by the eighteenth-century poet-monk Ryokan and Tenshin Reb Anderson, former abbot of the San Francisco Zen Center - plus introductory essays from Dogen scholar Steven Heine, and the prominent, late American Zen master John Daido Loori.
