Book Description
This charming autobiographical tale from Princess Michael of Kent tells of a girl growing up and the incredible bond that can exist between people and animals. Beautifully written by a natural storyteller and packed with fabulous photographs, it is also a wonderful portrait of Africa - the cheetah version of Born Free - and will delight readers worldwide. In the early 1960s, Marie Christine von Reibnitz (who would later become HRH Princess Michael of Kent) lived with her father on his farm in Mozambique. Then just a teenager, Princess Michael was entranced by the African landscape, by the wildlife and by the people she met. It was one of the happiest times of her life and she recounts that it was an orphaned cheetah cub (called Tess) who played a huge part in making it so. The relationship between the young Princess Michael and Tess, whom she hand-reared and later successfully released into the wild having trained her to hunt and survive on her own, will touch every reader's heart. The events of that period have remained with Princess Michael for the rest of her life and in A Cheetah's Tale she recalls not just the tale of Tess, but also the realities of life in Africa: from waking up in the middle of the night to find her father had just shot a lioness that was about to eat her to discovering a deadly Black Mamba curled up inside the loo! Tess was the inspiration for Princess Michael's lifelong interest in cheetah conservation and the epilogue covers some of her work as Patron of the Endangered Species Centre in South Africa and of the Cheetah Conservation Fund in Namibia.

Book Description
Warning: This Book May Change Your Worldview Whether you are a materialist or follow a conventional religion, this book will make you think hard about your beliefs. Or if you are uncertain, this book will help you think clearly about science and religion. This book thinks critically about materialism, the theory that only matter exists and mind or spirit is a byproduct of matter. It shows that what philosophers call “dualism,” the idea that matter and spirit exist independently, is more plausible than materialism. It begins by reviewing the arguments that philosophers have used to show that computers cannot have consciousness. Then it shows that materialism cannot provide a basis for scientific knowledge or morality - and shows that it is self-contradictory to claim that science has proven that only matter exists. It looks critically at the evidence from near-death experiences and at the attempts to explain away these experiences. It concludes by asking how we can reconcile religion with science, looking at a wide range of religions. From the beginning, the book takes a skeptical, critical approach to both materialism and religious faith: “As a congenital skeptic, I cannot believe something unless I have some reason to think that it is true. Yet I find that preachers of materialism can be just as dogmatic as preachers of religion. “For example, Steven Pinker claims that a computer that modeled the human brain would have consciousness like ours because the idea that computers can have minds is ‘as fundamental to cognitive science as the cell doctrine is to biology and plate tectonics is to geology’ - which is like saying you believe God created the universe because it is a fundamental doctrine of your religion. “Pinker thinks he is being scientific, but science is based on evidence. There is plenty of evidence for cell doctrine and plate tectonics, but no evidence at all that computers can have consciousness.” This book rejects both materialist dogmas and religious dogmas. Instead, it follows the evidence and sees how far it can lead us.
