Family affairs was written in honor of my family. This includes blood family, close friends and people who serve as family when one doesn't always have a close bond with blood family. Sometimes we feel alone, and think we have no family when we look around. Often times we have family, even if we have no blood relatives around or in our lives.
Cooperative Evolution offers a fresh account of evolution consistent with Charles Darwin's own account of a cooperative, inter-connected, buzzing and ever-changing world. Told in accessible language, treating evolutionary change as a cooperative enterprise brings some surprising shifts from the traditional emphasis on the dominance of competition. The book covers many evolutionary changes reconsidered as cooperation. These include the cooperative origins of life, evolution as a spiral rather than a ladder or tree, humans as a part of natural systems rather than the purpose, relationships between natural and social change, and the role of the individual in adaptive radiation onto new ground. The story concludes with a projection of human evolution from the past into the future.
Matters of the heart is a poetry book written out of the emotions one endures during relationships. Even single Christians must learn to handle their emotions. Writing through difficult times has helped me heal and allows me to share my experiences.
