Supernatural and Natural Selection

Religion and Evolutionary Success

By: Lyle B. Steadman,Craig T. Palmer

Spanning many different epochs and varieties of religious experience, this book develops a new approach to religion and its role in human history. The authors look across a range of religious phenomena-from ancestor worship to totemism, shamanism, and worldwide modern religions-to offer a new explanation of the evolutionary success of religious behaviors. Their book is more empirical and verifiable than most previous books on evolution and religion because they develop an approach that removes guesswork about beliefs in the supernatural, focusing instead on the behaviors of individuals. The result is a pioneering look at how and why natural selection has favored religious behaviors throughout history.

The Handbook of Sex Differences Volume IV Identifying Universal Sex Differences

By: Lee Ellis,Craig T. Palmer,Rosemary Hopcroft,Anthony W. Hoskin

The Handbook of Sex Differences is a four-volume reference work written to assess sex differences, with a primary focus on the human species. Based on the authors’ highly influential 2008 book Sex Differences, these volumes highlight important new research findings from the last decade and a half alongside earlier findings. In this, the work’s fourth and last volume, two related questions are addressed: Are there universal sex differences (i.e., sex differences found in all societies)? And if the answer is yes, what are they and how can each one be theoretically explained? To answer the first of these two questions, this volume condenses much of the research findings amassed in the book’s first three volumes into summary tables. Then, to help identify likely universal sex differences, three versions of social role theory and two versions of evolutionary theory are examined relative to each possible universal sex difference. Consideration is even given to religious scriptures as a sixth type of explanation. In the concluding analyses, 308 likely universal sex differences are identified. No single theory was able to explain all these differences. Nevertheless, the two evolutionary theories were better in this regard than any of the three social role theories, including the recently proposed biosocial version of social role theory. The Handbook of Sex Differences is of importance for any researcher, student, or professional who requires a comprehensive resource on sex differences.

Old Wounds

By: Craig Conrad

Aaron Ginsberg, a survivor of Auschwitz spots one of his Nazi captors, SS Doctor Klaus Reiner at a Seattle Airport some forty years after World War Two ended. A week later after flying back to Milwaukee, Ginsberg disappears. A worried wife and son contact Paul Rice and ask for his help in finding Ginsberg. Paul takes the case and has to fly out to Seattle to talk to another Auschwitz survivor and friend of Ginsberg’s. During Rice’s investigation he encounters an ex-Nazi who would like to get even with the United States for Germany losing another war, and a couple of enemies who would like nothing better than to one-up Rice, including the Gleaners, the Wolf-Bipeds, the newer version of the Nazis, and Kimberly Hayes, the new possessor of the Durie Grimoire, who would like to turn Rice into stone, like she did her husband.

Death at a Diner

By: Elizabeth Spann Craig

Diners can prove hazardous to your health. Although Palmer Baxter hasn’t lived in the small town of Bradley long, she’s already become a force to be reckoned with. She’s joined all the clubs in town and has effected a takeover of many of them. Palmer is married to a handsome banker, is perfectly coiffed and outfitted, and volunteers for groups that serve the needy. Needless to say, Palmer is extremely unpopular in her new hometown. Unpopularity doesn’t ordinarily equate to murder, but it does in this instance. When octogenarian sleuth Myrtle and her senior sidekick Miles venture out for an early breakfast at the local diner, they make the startling discovery of Palmer’s demise. Will Myrtle and Miles find the killer before disaster strikes again?
