The Creation: An Appeal to Save Life on Earth

Hailed by Booklist as an "eloquent
defense of nature," Edward O. Wilson's latest book,
The Creation, is one of the most anticipated
science titles of the year. With his characteristic clarity,
warmth, and humanity, the famed scientist attempts to
bridge the gap between science and religion with an appeal
to people of faith to recognize that both secular humanists
like himself and believers in God acknowledge the glory
of nature and can work together to save it. We have 3
free copies of the book to give away. Just send an email
to: info@thelavinagency, and if you are one of the first
three responses, the book is yours.
