In My Own Words:
Key Fact: When I'm not reading non-fiction, mainly on psychology or computing, my favourite book are "golden age" detective stories - both short stories and full length novels. One of the highlights of my life at the moment is the steady stream of "Universal" detective series being released on DVD.
I already have all of the BBC-produced Miss Marple episodes, and the Poirot programs made by Carni… Read more

Lennox And Dawkins - The God Delusion Debate [DVD] <b>DVD</b> ~ Lennox/Dawkins
3 of 5 people found the following review helpful:
This is a truly fascinating event. Neither man is the world's greatest when it comes to public speaking, and in fact I think that they are theoretically pretty evenly matched. Where they radically differ is in their way of thinking and consequently in the way they present their ideas.

Lennox has some good ideas, and the latest edition of his book God's Undertaker: Has Science Buried God? seems to have used parts of this debate to good effect - maybe a little better effect than in the live event.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Pits, 17 May 2008
Have you ever run into the sort of person who talks about things they know nothing about, but talks on and on and on, apparently in the hope that if they keep talking for long enough then the law of averages means they must get at least one thing right?

That's what I felt I was up against when I was reading this book.

Firstly, it is badly laid out, by which I mean that it has no obvious flow other than (I guess) the order in which things popped into the authors' heads.

Secondly, a significant amount of the material has little or nothing to do with NLP - like the "Wheel of Life" and the stuff on PTSD - and quite a lot the material, whether about NLP… Read more
