Do you have questions about the creation of the universe? Who?
What? Why? When? How? The written word of God's creation in the
Bible and the physical record in the universe provide answers. The
truth of the Bible and the truth revealed in God's nature do not
have to conflict. Written by Dr. Richard Myers, professor of
chemistry and dean emeritus of a College Arts and Sciences, this
book presents in simple language how scientific discoveries
increasingly point to the God of the Bible as the creator.
This is the first comprehensive survey of the colourful ceramic
tiles produced by Morris & Company. From the earliest examples
made for Red House to the tiles produced in the twentieth century,
all the many different designs are illustrated and discussed in
detail. Richard and Hilary Myers are proud to include a previously
unrecorded tile panel among the many little-known examples
described in this book. Found in a Sussex church, the panel takes
its place with such masterpieces as the overmantel at Queens'
College, Cambridge, and the Membland panels. All Morris & Co.'s
tile designs are analysed and linked to related stained-glass,
textile or graphic work produced by the Firm. The authors reveal
the various contributions of individual designers, including Edward
Burne-Jones, D. G. Rossetti, Ford Madox Brown, Kate Faulkner and
William Morris himself. Morris & Co.'s connections with the
Dutch tileries, William de Morgan, Murray Marks and Barnard, Bishop
& Barnard, and the roles they played in the production and
distribution of the tiles, are all thoroughly examined.

Chairman of the Joints Chiefs of Staff during the critical four
years following September 11, General Richard B. Myers proposes a
bold new plan to prepare America for the diverse national security
challenges of the twenty-first century. In this captivating and
revealing memoir, General Myers talks candidly about his career in
the military, the unforgettable events of September 11, and the
global war on terror. Myers believes that America has misidentified
its adversary, focusing too narrowly on tactical battles instead of
on a long-range strategy that will overcome a global insurgency.
Rather than mandate what Islam should become, we must work with an
international community that includes responsible non-Western
states to protect against the behaviors we consider universally
unacceptable--especially those that promote violence against the
U.S. and its allies. Finally, Myers maintains we must integrate our
own government agencies so that we can focus a sustained approach
to this strategy. Told with unfailing honesty, Eyes on the Horizon
is an unforgettable memoir of one of our nation's highest-ranking
officers and a courageous call for change that will strengthen
American national security and defend a democratic way of life.
