An urgent defense of reason, the essential method for resolving—or even discussing—divisive issues: “A timely masterpiece.”—Patricia S. Churchland, author of Touching a Nerve Reason, long held as the highest human achievement, is under siege. According to Aristotle, the capacity for reason sets us apart from other animals, yet today it has ceased to be a universally admired faculty. Rationality and reason have become political, disputed concepts, subject to easy dismissal. Julian Baggini argues eloquently that we must recover our reason and reassess its proper place, neither too highly exalted nor completely maligned. Rationality does not require a cold, sterile worldview—it simply involves the application of critical thinking wherever thinking is needed. Addressing such major areas of debate as religion, science, politics, psychology, and economics, the author calls for commitment to the notion of a “community of reason,” where disagreements are settled by debate and discussion, not brute force or political power. Baggini’s insightful book celebrates the power of reason, our best hope—indeed our only hope—for dealing with the intractable quagmires of our time. “The toxic gloating of ‘gut feelings,’ hateful politics and heart-over-head attacks on good sense urgently need an antidote. Baggini has risen to the occasion…compelling.”—Patricia S. Churchland, author of Conscience: The Origins of Moral Intuition

Malibu, CA, 1968. Denny Martel, a twenty-seven-year-old trial lawyer wunderkind in the Los Angeles County Public Defender’s office, becomes deeply involved in the hunt for a serial killer. He soon realizes he’s the target of a secret LAPD unit, and his Malibu beach cottage is no refuge. In the gritty LA trial courts, on the Venice Beach testosterone-charged “A” basketball court, in the “wilds” of Malibu, and among an amazing cadre of beautiful and complicated women, Denny seeks justice and his true self. In the summer of 1968, a serial killer is loose in Los Angeles. The press calls him the Night Slayer, and he robs “mom-and-pop” businesses in South Central LA, leaving no witnesses. As the Slayer’s body count increases, the city begins to destabilize and a repeat of the Watts Riots is brewing. Denny’s high school pal, Jack Hansen, is the lead LAPD homicide detective charged with catching the Slayer. As the Public Defender for many of the suspects arrested, Denny begins to formulate a profile of the Slayer. As the search continues, Denny wins and loses trials and women. He’s an emerging star in the criminal justice system and is realizing the significance and vulnerability of that role. Then, using Denny’s insight to the Slayer, Jack makes the arrest, and Denny will now represent the Slayer at the lineup.

From the author of We Are the Ants comes “another winner” (Booklist, starred review) about a boy who believes the universe is slowly shrinking as the things he remembers are being erased from others’ memories. Tommy and Ozzie have been best friends since the second grade, and boyfriends since eighth. They spent countless days dreaming of escaping their small town—and then Tommy vanished. More accurately, he ceased to exist, erased from the minds and memories of everyone who knew him. Everyone except Ozzie. Ozzie doesn’t know how to navigate life without Tommy, and soon he suspects that something else is going on: that the universe is shrinking. When Ozzie is paired up with the reclusive and secretive Calvin for a physics project, it’s hard for him to deny the feelings developing between them, even if he still loves Tommy. But Ozzie knows there isn’t much time left to find Tommy—that once the door closes, it can’t be opened again. And he’s determined to keep it open as long as possible.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The first part of the book will focus on the use of reason in religion and science. In these and other domains, there is an ineliminable role of judgement, but that does not mean we should be skeptical about reason and rationality. #2 The debate between God and science is another example of how theism and atheism rarely change their minds. The currency of philosophy of religion is supposed to be rational argument, but it can’t buy an opposing position at any price. #3 The big arguments carry weight. When it comes to the big issues, it’s the big arguments that carry weight. And intellectuals do not like to admit this because it brings them down to the same level as simpler people, like Homer Simpson. #4 The central fact about the worship was blindingly obvious: the Holy Spirit was not at work at all. It was all people’s doing. The reality of God is obvious to some believers because it feels or seems obvious, and no one other than the believer is required to verify its obviousness.

The book mostly deals with the poignancy of dreams and how transient they are. The poems also deal with the way the world appears to the eyes of the author describing the emotions and states of mind that he thinks in. In many ways this collection of poetry is more like a lyrical commentary of the author's take on what it takes to live in todays modern world of fast pace and fleeting dreams.
