Retired Science teacher, father of four and grandfather of three, John Richards, writes from experience gained over a lifetime of working and living with children. Let's face it, there is little a child can do that he hasn't seen before and worked out a good response to. He gives hundreds of tips on negotiating the slippery path of raising children to be nice people. John takes the story on from the dozens of baby advice books by focussing on the period from tots to teens. How to Raise Your Child Biologically is written in accessible style and illustrated with Pietro Lantrua's whimsical cartoons making it an enjoyable read.

"Godbuster proves that the uncertainties of Science are much more secure than the 'certainties' of religions. It's like Dawkins for beginners!" Lance Gregorchuk, author of Born Again Atheist. Nowadays, no-one commits atrocities for Ares, the Greek God of Savagery; days still dawn despite no human being slaughtered and his, still beating, heart being held up to the setting sun by Aztec worshippers; we succeed in growing maize even though Centeotl has lost his followers; chocolate can be cultivated in the absence of Mayan Goddess Ixcacao and the sewers of Rome continue to flow without any help from, now discredited, Goddess, Cloacina. Does anyone miss these gods? Why do we still worship gods in the 21st century? Are you a Believer? Is your faith strong enough to survive reading this book? Godbuster is Elliot George's attempt to help readers to think critically and skeptically about what they choose to believe; to help them to make an informed decision. It describes why we feel a need to believe, questions what value belief has, explains what constitutes proper evidence and how it provides a foundation for our understanding of reality. The methods of Science are explained and the issues of contention between believers and non-believers are dealt with in lucid prose - it's a bit like Richard Dawkins 'The God Delusion' but written in easy language.
