Pamela Winnick & Alan Burdick

The human habitat now reaches to every corner of the planet, as people move freely about in ways nature could never have imagined -- taking with them other creatures, transplanting living things to new environments. Science writer Alan Burdick studies "invasion biology" in his new book Out of Eden. But first: religion and science, which have always, to some extent, been at odds. The author of a new book argues that the nature of the antagonism has shifted. It used to be heroic scientists versus harsh and unbending religion. Now it's science that is throwing its weight around, says Pamela Winnick, whose book is called A Jealous God.
