Paperback. Zustand: Good. Portals tells intertwining true life stories of adopting and being adopted as an older child. Spanning forty years of development the saga is told both from the perspective of Lillian, adopted at age nine, and of her adoptive father, each of them writing alternating chapters. Lillian frankly relates the harrowing abuse and neglect of her early childhood as well as her turbulent post-adoption adolescence including runaways, hospitalization, and leaving home at seventeen. Her psychologist father, William Miller, offers an honest inside perspective on the challenges of parenting a child through these turbulent years. Ultimately it is a redeeming tale of persistent love and post-traumatic growth as the two streams of their lives flow together in adoption and then apart again as Lillian nurtures a family of her own. Portals is a compelling autobiography, really two autobiographies, as told through the voices of a father and his adopted daughter. Together they share their stories of trauma, commitment, conflict, perseverance, and faith. That the father is a world-renowned psychologist adds even more complexity to their experience. This is a must-read for those who are looking for a tale of resiliency and hope. --Melinda Hohman, Director and Professor, School of Social Work, San Diego State University A heartbreaking autobiographical story. . . . Through more than three decades Portals illustrates how post-traumatic growth can occur. . . . Portals is a harrowing tale. But it also is the story of Love. from the Foreword] --George Eman Vaillant, Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School Few books better convey the wisdom we need to go through--and grow through--traumatic experience. Readers will feel more alive and more able to face life's challenges. --Dale Larson, Professor, Counseling Psychology, Santa Clara University In this inspiring tale, a father and his adopted daughter each share their accounts of the endless struggles of dealing with the 'blows' life inflicts on them and their strengths in adapting to or overcoming them. The authors are refreshingly open about discussing their difficulties. I found their candor very moving; it made the book difficult to put down. --Allen Zweben, Senior Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Research, Professor, School of Social Work, Columbia University This is a fascinating tale of two lives intertwined by daunting circumstances, ultimately proving how people can overcome seemingly impossible obstacles. --Pat Roberts, Artist and Author, Flag Is Up Farms, Solvang, California; parent of 47 foster children William R.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Miller is a believer, but he is also certain that we evolved - and this book is about why the two are not mutually exclusive; in fact, the idea of each enriches the other. There is an enormous market out there for whom this issue is of real interest and import. Much of contemporary thought on evolution has centered on the mistaken assumption that evolution requires a strictly materialist view of the origins of all organisms - including human beings. This book will debunk that myth, arguing that the real world is less certain and far more interesting than either the scientific mainstream or creationists assume. Properly understood, evolution adds depth and meaning not only to a strictly scientific view of the world, but to a spiritual one, as well. Readers will find this fascinating, very clear, incisive, exciting, and thoughtful. This should sell like Gould and Wilson-brilliant, cutting-edge thinking.…

Hardback. Zustand: Fair. Much contemporary thought has centered on the mistaken assumption that evolution requires a strictly materialist view of the origins of all organisms, including human beings. However, in Finding Darwin's God, biology professor Kenneth R. Miller persuasively shows that the difficulties evolution presents for Western religions are more apparent than real. Miller offers a surprising resolution to the evolutionism vs. creationism debate, demonstrating how, properly understood, evolution adds depth and meaning not only to a strictly scientific view of the world, but also to a spiritual one. Miller is a religious person, but he is also certain that we evolved. Finding Darwin's God argues that the two credos are not mutually exclusive; in fact, one enriches the other. This incisive, exciting and thoughtful work shows that the real world is less certain and far more interesting than either the scientific mainstream or creationists assume. Kenneth R. Miller, a recipient of numerous awards for outstanding teaching, is a cell biologist, a professor of biology at Brown University, and the coauthor of widely used high school and college biology textbooks. In addition, he has written articles that have appeared in numerous scientific journals and magazines, including Nature, Scientific American, Cell, and Discover. He lives in Rehoboth, Massachusetts. Miller is both an outstanding scientist and a gifted teacher. In this scholarly book, he uses his unusual abilities to explain the overwhelming evidence for evolution in a lucid and very entertaining way.--Bruce Alberts, president of the National Academy of Sciences.…
