Kingdom of AntsJosé Celestino Mutis and the Dawn of Natural History in the New WorldEdward O. Wilson and José M. Gómez Durán

Drawing on new translations of Mutis’s nearly forgotten writings, this fascinating story of scientific adventure in eighteenth-century South America retrieves Mutis’s contributions from obscurity. A unique glance into the early world of science exploration, Kingdom of Ants is a delight to read and filled with intriguing information.

The Prism and the RainbowA Christian Explains Why Evolution Is Not a ThreatJoel W. Martin
God or Darwin? It is one of the most contentious conflicts of our time.
