Rejecting belief without evidence, a scientist scrutinizes scientific, theological, and philosophical literature for a sign from God--and finds God to be an allegory. This remarkable book leaves no room for unproven ideas and exposes a universe without reason or purpose.

Is Darwinian evolution established fact, or a dogma ready to be overtaken by "intelligent design"? This is the debate raging in courtrooms and classrooms across the country.
Why Intelligent Design Fails assembles a team of physicists, biologists, computer scientists, mathematicians, and archaeologists to examine intelligent design from a scientific perspective. They consistently find grandiose claims without merit.
Contributors take intelligent design's two most famous claims--irreducible complexity and information-based arguments--and show that neither challenges Darwinian...

Optics and Lasers is an introduction to engineering andapplied optics, including not only elementary ray and waveoptics, but also lasers, holography, copherence, fibers, andoptical waveguides. It stresses physicalprinciples, applications, and instrumentation. It will be most usefullto the practicing engineer or experimental scientist, graduate student, or advanced undergraduate. It containsmore than enough material from which to selelct the core ofan introctory optics course and sufficientto form the bulkof a more advanced course.

Why Evolution Works (and Creationism Fails) is an impassioned argument in favor of science--primarily the theory of evolution--and against creationism. Why impassioned? Should not scientists be dispassionate in their work? "Perhaps," write the authors, "but it is impossible to remain neutral when our most successful scientific theories are under attack, for religious and other reasons, by laypeople and even some scientists who willfully distort scientific findings and use them for their own purposes." Focusing on what other books omit, how science works and how pseudoscience works, Matt...

Optik, Laser, Wellenleiter stellt eine Einfuhrung in die angewandte Optik dar. Dabei werden nicht nur Strahlenoptik mit optischen Instrumenten, Lichtquellen und Detektoren einerseits sowie Wellenoptik mit Interferometrie andererseits behandelt; es wird auch ausfuhrlich auf Holographie, Laser, Koharenz, Faseroptik, Wellenleiter und integrierte Optik eingegangen. Die physikalischen Grundlagen, Anwendungen und die Instrumentierung stehen dabei stets im Vordergrund. Mehr als 100 Ubungen dienen der Vertiefung des Stoffes. Das Buch ist sowohl als vorlesungsbegleitende Lekture fur Studenten...
