Hitchens C. God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything
With a close and studied reading of the major religious texts, Christopher Hitchens documents the ways in which religion is a man-made wish, a cause of dangerous sexual repression, and a distortion of our origins in the cosmos. With eloquent clarity, Hitchens frames the argument for a more secular life based on science and reason, in which hell is replaced by the Hubble Telescope's awesome view of the universe, and Moses and the burning bush give way to the beauty and symmetry of the double helix.In the tradition of Bertrand Russell's Why I Am Not a Christian and Sam Harris's The End of Faith, Christopher Hitchens makes the ultimate case against religion.

Armstrong K. Religion
Because "God" is infinite, nobody can have the last word What is this thing, religion, supposedly the cause of bloodshed and warring for centuries? What is God and do we need Him in our modern world? Karen Armstrong looks again at these questions in a refreshing and startling way. God is not to be believed in as a child believes in Santa Claus; religion is not a story to be proven true or false, but a discipline akin to music or art that answers a deeply human need, and can teach us to discover new capacities of mind and heart. Selected from A Case for God, Fields of Blood and The Lost Art of Scripture VINTAGE MINIS: GREAT MINDS. BIG IDEAS. LITTLE BOOKS.

Through Each Others Eyes. Religion and Literature
A.S. Pushkin, the great Russian poet, once wrote, 'I think we shall never give the people anything better than the Scriptures ... Religion has created all the great works of art and literature from very ancient times ... Without it, there would have been no philosophy, nor poetry, nor ethics ... The Bible is universal... It is unique in the world. There is everything in it.' The truth behind Pushkin's statement seemed self-evident for many centuries. It is only in our age, both in Russia and in the West (though perhaps for different reasons), that religious aspects of literature have very often been neglected by scholars and critics, or at least have been treated as something ornamental and so not important for the proper understanding of literary works. This book is an attempt to establish justice, and to look at the complex relationship between literature and religion, from the perspective of our own time.

Harkup Kathryn A is for Arsenic. The Poisons of Agatha Christie
Fourteen novels. Fourteen poisons. Just because it's fiction doesn't mean it's all made-up . . . Agatha Christie reveled in the use of poison to kill off unfortunate victims in her books; indeed, she employed it more than any other murder method, with the poison itself often being a central part of the novel. Her choice of deadly substances was far from random--the characteristics of each often provide vital clues to the discovery of the murderer. With gunshots or stabbings the cause of death is obvious, but this is not the case with poisons. How is it that some compounds prove so deadly, and in such tiny amounts? Christie's extensive chemical knowledge provides the backdrop for A is for Arsenic, in which Kathryn Harkup investigates the poisons used by the murderer in fourteen classic Agatha Christie mysteries. It looks at why certain chemicals kill, how they interact with the body, the cases that may have inspired Christie, and the feasibility of obtaining, administering and detecting these poisons, both at the time the novel was written and today. A is for Arsenic is a celebration of the use of science by the undisputed Queen of Crime.
