A rich, romantic novel set in post-world war II italy--steeped in military history--about young love, idealism, and the lessons of experience. - Like Louis de Bernires's Corelli's Mandolin, Gianni Riotta's charming and provocative romance explores large and small matters of love and war, shifting between the turbulence of postwar Sicily and the great battles of ancient and modern history. A major bestseller in Italy, Prince of the Clouds is a deeply moving work of fiction, imbued with rare vibrance and feeling.- A rather new lookind book with no faults that I can see.
This book looks brand new and unread to me to me - Subtitled : The Discovery of Harmony Between Modern Science and the Bible - A groundbreaking exploration of cutting edge physics and Biblical scholarship by a leading physicist, showing in clear, simple language that our universe was both created in six days and developed over a 15-billion-year period. >>> Here is a ground-breaking book that takes on skeptics from both sides of the cosmological debate, arguing that science and the Bible are not at odds concerning the origin of the universe. - The culmination of a physicist's thirty-five-year journey from MIT to Jerusalem. Genesis and the Big Bang presents a compelling argument that the events of the billions of years that cosmologists say followed the Big Bang and those of the first six days described in Genesis are, in fact, one and the same - identical realities described in vastly different terms. In engaging, accessible language, Dr. Schroeder reconciles the observable facts of science with the very essence of Western religion: the biblical account of Creation. - Carefully reviewing and enterpreting accepted scietific principle, analogous passages of Scripture, and biblical scholarship, Dr. Schroeder arrives at a conclusion to lucid that one wonders why it has taken this long in coming. The result for the reader - whether believer or skeptic, Jewish or Christian - is a totally fresh understanding of the key events in the life of the universe. (Goodreads) * Evolution * Creation *
