As news reports of the horrific December 2004 tsunami in Asia reached the rest of the world, commentators were quick to seize upon the disaster as proof of either God’s power or God’s nonexistence, asking over and over, How could a good and loving God - if such exists - allow such suffering? In The Doors of the Sea, David Bentley Hart speaks at once to those skeptical of Christian faith and to those who use their Christian faith to rationalize senseless human suffering.

In The Coyote at the Door, real people share their terrifying, unforgettable encounters with one of North America’s most adaptable predators.

The once denuded Northeastern United States is now a region of trees. Nature Next Door argues that the growth of cities, the construction of parks, the transformation of farming, the boom in tourism, and changes in the timber industry have together brought about a return of Northeastern forests.

In deze boeiende lezing neemt Frits Beukers u mee langs getallen, breuken en oneindigheid.

Dat wiskunde ook leuk en praktisch kan zijn, maakt hij met deze lezing duidelijk. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan cryptografie, het berekenen van kansen bij sportwedstrijden óf waarom het weer zo moeilijk te voorspellen is. Beukers laat in zes hoofdstukken zien dat wiskunde een zeer divers en boeiend vakgebied is.
