In THE SELFLESS GENE, Charles Foster assesses the claims of Neo-Darwinists and Young Earth Creationists, demonstrating that orthodox Christianity is not incompatible with what evolutionary biology says about our world. The real issue, he argues, centres around the ethical implications of natural selection, and what such a system - based on selfishness, waste and death - might say about the loving creator God of the Christian faith. Intelligent, provocative and accessible, THE SELFLESS GENE offers the prospect of a reasoned dialogue between faith and scientific study, and a reconciliation of what are popularly seen as two opposing worldviews.

<p>Human religious experiences are remarkably uniform; many can be pharmacologically induced. Recent research into the neurology of religious experience has shown that, when worshipping or praying, a certain part of the brain, apparently dormant during other activities, becomes active. What does all this mean for those of faith and those with none? In this fascinating book barrister Charles Foster takes a survey of the evidence -- from shamans to medieval mystics, to out-of-body experiences and epilepsy, via Jerusalem and middle-class Christianity -- and assesses its significance. Written in short, accessible chapters, this is a fascinating tour of religious and mystical experiences and their relation to human physiology.</p>

Being a Beast

Charles Foster set out to know the ultimate other: the non-humans, the beasts. And to do that, he tried to be like them, choosing a badger, an otter, a fox, a deer, and a swift. He lived alongside badgers for weeks, eating earthworms and learning to sense the landscape by smell rather than sight. He tried to catch fish in his teeth while swimming like an otter, rooted through London garbage cans as an urban fox, was hunted by bloodhounds as a red deer, nearly dying in the snow. And he followed the swifts on their migration route over the Strait of Gibraltar, discovering himself to be strangely connected to the birds.A lyrical, joyful, and completely radical look at the life of animals―human and other―Being a Beast mingles neuroscience and psychology, nature writing and memoir to cross the boundaries separating the species.

Profile Books

In the UK, tripping and slipping cases form a large part of a personal injury lawyer's practice. Not all cases are straight-forward. Many involve complex questions of UK personal injury law, engaging various legal disciplines. This book is a one-stop text covering all the legal disciplines that can come into play in a trip or slip case. It covers all the relevant areas of law - local government, landlord and tenant, occupier's liability, highways, factories, and health and safety at work - and it gives detailed guidance on the applicable procedure, together with precedent material. APIL Guide to Tripping and Slipping Cases takes account of important changes principally to the substantive law, especially in relation to the UK's Highways Act 1980, such as Jones v Rhondda Taff Cynon County Borough Council (on reasonable foreseeability under s 41, HA 1980), DTER v Mott MacDonald (on accumulation of water), and Atkins v Ealing LBC (on statutory defense).
