""The illusion of purpose is so powerful," writes Richard Dawkins, "that biologists themselves use the assumption of good design as a working tool." As an ardent proponent of Darwinian evolution, Dawkins imagines that all design in biology is merely an illusion. By contrast, this book shows that biologists use the assumption of design with success precisely because design in biology is not an illusion but real. In this book, William Demb ..."
The Man With Many Pens (Stahlecker Selections) by JonathanWells Paperback, 76 Pages, Published 2015 by Four Way ISBN-13: 978-1-935536-63-5, ISBN: 1-935536-63-X
"The Man with Many Pens is about love—“a love that smells so much like blood”—and song—“a song that the oak leaves will not finish.” These poems examine how a single love or a single song contains multiple personalities and contradictory forces, tensions, and concordances."
Train Dance(1st Edition) by JonathanWells Paperback, 76 Pages, Published 2011 by Four Way Books ISBN-13: 978-1-935536-14-7, ISBN: 1-935536-14-1
"Train Dance adopts the rhythm and return of the commute through the Hudson Valley into Manhattan as a motif for the echoes of memory and event that contour a life. Reflecting on the place of poetry amid the urban hustle―a way one might “Carry myself like a tune/ Into the chorus of the city”―Wells records a series of linked journeys in which a son comes to understands his mother’s death and writing engraves events in memory, retaining ev ..."
"Why Darwinism--like Marxism and Freudianism before it--is headed for extinctionIn the 1925 Scopes trial, the American Civil Liberties Union sued to allow the teaching of Darwin's theory of evolution in public schools. Seventy-five years later, in Kitzmiller v. Dover, the ACLU sued to prevent the teaching of an alternative to Darwin's theory known as "Intelligent Design"--and won. Why did the ACLU turn from defending the free-speech righ ..."
Icons of Evolution(1st Edition) Science or Myth? Why Much of What We Teach About Evolution Is Wrong by Professor JonathanWells, Jody F. Sjogren Paperback, 338 Pages, Published 2002 by Regnery Publishing ISBN-13: 978-0-89526-200-4, ISBN: 0-89526-200-2
"How would you react if told that you and your children have been lied to in science lessons at school and university? Yet this is exactly what has been happening for decades, as Icons of Evolution' demonstrates. The author, a Berkeley Ph.D in Biology, is not a creationist, but his book describes many serious misrepresentations of facts commonly found in biology textbooks, which are used to perpetuate belief in evolution. The main part o ..."
Zombie Science(1st Edition) More Icons of Evolution by JonathanWells Paperback, 238 Pages, Published 2017 by Discovery Institute ISBN-13: 978-1-936599-44-8, ISBN: 1-936599-44-9
"In 2000, biologist Jonathan Wells took the science world by storm with Icons of Evolution, a book showing how biology textbooks routinely promote Darwinism using bogus evidence—icons of evolution like Ernst Haeckel’s faked embryo drawings and peppered moths glued to tree trunks. Critics of the book complained that Wells had merely gathered up a handful of innocent textbook errors and blown them out of proportion. Now, in Zombie Science, ..."
The Myth of Junk DNA(1st Edition) by Professor JonathanWells Paperback, 150 Pages, Published 2011 by Discovery Institute Press ISBN-13: 978-1-936599-00-4, ISBN: 1-936599-00-7
"According to the modern version of Darwin’s theory, DNA contains a program for embryo development that is passed down from generation to generation; the program is implemented by proteins encoded by the DNA, and accidental DNA mutations introduce changes in those proteins that natural selection then shapes into new species, organs and body plans. When scientists discovered forty years ago that about 98% of our DNA does not encode protei ..."
The Metabolic Ghetto(1st Edition) An Evolutionary Perspective on Nutrition, Power Relations and Chronic Disease by JonathanWells Hardcover, 584 Pages, Published 2016 by Cambridge University Press ISBN-13: 978-1-107-00947-9, ISBN: 1-107-00947-2
"Chronic diseases have rapidly become the leading global cause of morbidity and mortality, yet there is poor understanding of this transition, or why particular social and ethnic groups are especially susceptible. In this book, Wells adopts a multidisciplinary approach to human nutrition, emphasising how power relations shape the physiological pathways to obesity, diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Part I reviews the phys ..."
"ATPC has not been widely adopted in high capacity millimeter-wave sys- tems.
This is surprising since without ATPC, it is difficult for short- and medium-range
millimeter-wave links to achieve high weather availabilities. Consider a high
capacity millimeter-wave link that does not employ ATPC, with a receiver
characteristic as shown in Figure 7.2. For short and medium distance links, the
transmitter output power often needs to be s ..."
The Evolutionary Biology of Human Body Fatness(1st Edition) Thrift and Control (Cambridge Studies in Biological and Evolutionary Anthropology) by JonathanWells Hardcover, 394 Pages, Published 2009 by Cambridge University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-521-88420-4, ISBN: 0-521-88420-9
"This comprehensive synthesis of current medical and evolutionary literature addresses key questions about the role body fat plays in human biology. It explores how body energy stores are regulated, how they develop over the life-course, what biological functions they serve, and how they may have evolved. There is now substantial evidence that human adiposity is not merely a buffer against the threat of starvation, but is also a resource ..."

"For decades, microwave radios in the 6 to 50 GHz bands have been providing wireless communications. Recently, newer technologies at the 60 to 100 GHz mm-wave bands have taken advantage of new wireless regulations that are designed to enable ultra-high capacity communications. Exploring this exciting area in depth, this cutting-edge resource offers the latest details on multigigabit wireless communications. The book places emphasis on pr ..."
"Thus, contra Miller, the flagellum is indeed irreducibly complex.”12 As for Miller's
claim that the TTSS was probably co-opted by Darwinian evolution to produce
the flagellum—University of Idaho microbiologist Scott Minnich disagrees.
Minnich is an expert on plague bacteria (which use the TTSS to attack their
victims), and in 2004 he spent five months as a volunteer in Iraq with an elite
team searching for biological weapons. While ..."
"The origin of life from non-life remains one of the most enduring mysteries of modern science. The Mystery of Life’s Origin: The Continuing Controversy investigates how close scientists are to solving that mystery and explores what we are learning about the origin of life from current research in chemistry, physics, astrobiology, biochemistry, and more. The book includes an updated version of the classic text The Mystery of Life’s Origi ..."
"Are students learning the whole truth about Darwin's theory of evolution? According to a growing number of scientists, the suprising answer is no. They claim that many of the most famous "Icons of Evolution"-including Darwin's "Tree of Life," finches from the Galapagos Islands, and embryos that look remarkably similar-are based on outdated research and sloppy logic. They say students are being hurt by the failure to present both sides ..."
