Summary

"Hidden Creatures" unveils the captivating realm of animal camouflage, diving deep into the evolutionary arms race between predator and prey. It explores how natural selection has driven the development of incredible concealment strategies, from blending seamlessly into backgrounds to mimicking other species. Astonishingly, some animals don disguises so convincingly that they resemble inanimate objects, while others employ mimicry to imitate dangerous creatures, deterring potential predators. The book examines camouflage, disguise, and mimicry, highlighting their roles in survival. It showcases diverse examples of these adaptations across various habitats, grouping them by habitat type and evolutionary relationships. Readers will gain insights into the sensory perception and neural mechanisms that underpin these behaviors, as well as the evolutionary drivers behind them. The book progresses from basic definitions and illustrative examples to detailed case studies and discussions of the underlying evolutionary forces. What sets "Hidden Creatures" apart is its focus on explaining the "how" and "why" of animal concealment, bridging detailed observations with modern scientific understanding. It culminates by exploring the implications of camouflage research for fields such as military technology, robotics, and even art and design. This approach offers a thorough and engaging exploration of the natural world that is sure to appeal to anyone interested in biology, nature, science, and life sciences.

    The Fool and the Heretic is a deeply personal story told by two respected scientists who hold opposing views on the topic of origins, share a common faith in Jesus Christ, and began a sometimes-painful journey to explore how they can remain in Christian fellowship when each thinks the other is harming the church. To some in the church, anyone who accepts the theory of evolution has rejected biblical teaching and is therefore thought of as a heretic. To many outside the church as well as a growing number of evangelicals, anyone who accepts the view that God created the earth in six days a few thousand years ago must be poorly educated and ignorant--a fool. Todd Wood and Darrel Falk know what it's like to be thought of, respectively, as a fool and a heretic. This audiobook shares their pain in wearing those labels, but more important, provides a model for how faithful Christians can hold opposing views on deeply divisive issues yet grow deeper in their relationship to each other and to God. 
Discussion questions are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.
