Five Book Friday: In Memoriam
(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

The Martians of Science: Five Physicists Who Changed the Twentieth Century
by
Istvban Hargittai
Gary Patterson
, January 19, 2012
America owes a large debt of gratitude to the Martians of Science: Hungarian Jews who immigrated to America and helped us win WWII. We owe a debt as well to Professor Hargittai, who thoroughly researched these five scientists and has told their tale as only he can do. A thrilling tale of perseverance, genius and humanity!

Wired for War The Robotics Revolution & Conflict in the 21st Century
by
P W Singer
Gary Patterson
, January 02, 2010
Singer is a great investigative journalist who is never afraid to deliver a zinger. While most people still think the subject of this book is science fiction, Singer has interviewed the actual people at Carnegie Mellon, MIT and elsewhere that are making the robotics revolution a potent part of the war effort. The moral questions are faced squarely, but this book can leave you bewildered about the future. Are we entering the new age of empowerment or have we descended into hell?!

Myth of a Christian Nation How the Quest for Political Power Is Destroying the Church
by
Gregory A Boyd
Gary Patterson
, January 01, 2010
America is defined by its current mythology. How much of this narrative can stand up to historical scrutiny is open to serious discussion. Greg Boyd gives a startling answer to the question of whether the United States is a "Christian Nation," a distinction promoted by many 21st century Christian leaders. No nation is a Christian nation because Jesus' kingdom is not of this world. The nations of this world are under the domination of the god of this world, Satan, who offered these kingdoms to Jesus, but was rebuffed. We should rebuff Satan as well, rather than become sycophants of Satan.
