"Sparked by a controversial debate in February 2014, Bill Nye has set off on an energetic campaign to spread awareness of evolution and the powerful way it shapes our lives. In Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation, he explains why race does not really exist; evaluates the true promise and peril of genetically modified food; reveals how new species are born, in a dog kennel and in a London subway; takes a stroll through 4.5 billion years of time; and explores the new search for alien life, including aliens right here on Earth. With infectious enthusiasm, Bill Nye shows that evolution is much more than a rebuttal to creationism; it is an essential way to understand how nature works--and to change the world. It might also help you get a date on a Saturday night."

He was arrogant... and spoken for!
Nicola Grant inherited a beautiful property on the Australian coast. Her memories of a carefree childhood there made her determined to live on it instead of selling.
But her neighbor, Drew Huntly, had rigid principles about protecting lone women. Scarcely had she moved in when he stormed over to the house, and before she knew it she was safely--but unwillingly--ensconced in his nearby resort.
As it turned out, it was not his protection she needed--but his love.
