    Fifteen-year-old Eve London has been flying under the radar her whole life, but now she might be pregnant with the new Jesus, and that will certainly get some attention! After losing her best friend, Grace, in a tragic accident, Eve just wants to disappear. Grace was deeply religious and Eve is certain that the only way she can cope is to try to find her through God, so though religion is foreign to her, she is trying hard to believe. Grace's grieving mother is only too happy to embrace Eve and wrap her in cake and Bible stories. When Eve discovers she is pregnant, though she has never even kissed a boy, she assumes her newfound faith in God has led her to an Immaculate Conception. Eve's atheist mother is shocked and devastated when Eve announces she must keep this baby to understand why she was chosen, and how it might lead her to peace about Grace. Eve Immaculate is a story about friendship, trauma, family, grief and the power of the mind.

    This is the third in the series of volumes of essays that Robin Fox began with Reproduction and Succession and continued with The Challenge of Anthropology. Fox who has been described as "the conscience of anthropology" continues to have the same aim: to expose readers in the social sciences and beyond to the consequences of "the biosocial orientation," and to assess the "state of the art" in anthropology in particular and the social sciences in general.As always he encompasses a wide range of topics: Why do bureaucracies fail? Are we really an innovative animal? Is nationalism a purely constructed phenomenon? What is the role of sexual competition in epic literature? In all these enquiries he tries to show in non-technical language how the evolutionary approach throws new light on old problems--and even raises new and more interesting problems. He pursues the issue of whether we have a naturally developed moral sense, and if so what it could possibly be (on the way attempting a definitive definition of the good); he looks at the status of the idea of self-interest in economic and biological science; he examines the current state of archaeology as a basis for a renewed scientific anthropology; and he tries to adjudicate the debate between the scientific and humanistic camps in the social sciences.
