First Freedom
First, Rev. Dr. C. Welton Gaddy and Rev. Barry W. Lynn, April 2008,
paperback original, $14.00 978-0-8070-4224-3
“This is a book for every American. Gaddy and Lynn have provided us
with a volume that informs and challenges, as well as inspires and guides
us on issues of vital importance to all of us -- our founding fathers' vision
for religious liberty and their constitutional guarantee of separation of
church and state. I applaud this book as a tool for preserving our democracy’s
greatest treasure."
Uncertain
Peril, Claire Hope Cummings, March 2008, cloth, $24.95, 978-0-8070-8580-6
Publishers Weekly, review in November 19 issue
“...a persuasive account of a lesser-known but potentially apocalyptic
threat to the world’s ecology and food supply—the privatization
of the Earth’s seed stock….[Cummings’] authoritative portrait
of another way in which our planet is at peril provides stark food for thought”
Kirkus Reviews, review forthcoming in to be posted December 1, 2007
issue
“…her description of the hit-or-miss nature of the genetic-engineering
process—which studies suggest may be at the root of alleged health impacts
associated with GMOs—will unnerve many. A firm but not strident attack
on “techno-elites” that raises serious questions about the way we
farm.”
