Now in large print - easier to read for students and adults. The current state of affairs has been called a "financial tsunami," a "financial ice age," and "the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression." Our first question needs to be, "Is it?" Our next question might be, "How did we get here?" As someone who enjoys the study of both history and economics, I see these questions as both important and interlinked I put this brief annotated time-line together initially for my own study, and to share with my students.

So, finally, in the twenty-first century, Creationists are beginning to see the importance of the Galapagos Islands. I hope this little full-color book will help open your eyes to these amazing islands, the amazing animals that are there, and the Creator who made them all.

I have taken much of Shakespeare's dialogue from Much Ado About Nothing and tried to add just enough scene and character identification to make the play make sense. I hope you enjoy this novel look at one of my favorite Shakespeare comedies
