Book
Reviews
Cheap: The Real Cost of the Global Trend
for Bargains, Discounts and Consumer Choice, by David Bosshart, reviewed in the Church Times by John Gladwin. ' Is [our moral and spiritual agenda] to be sacrificed on the altar of what is cheap?'
Six
Impossible Things Before Breakfast: The Evolutionary
Origins of Belief, by Lewis Wolpert, reviewed in
the Church Times by Adam Ford. Siding not with Lewis
Carroll, Thomas Hobbes or Richard Dawkins, Wolpert's
'thesis, using evolutionary biology to explore human
evolution, is that human survival was guided by a "belief
engine" that impels us to ask questions about the
way the world is, how it came to be, and how we may manipulate
it in our own interests.' [Note:
One of the AO staff just ordered it.]
