THE UNIVERSE NEXT DOOR

This fourth edition of Sire's work continues his investigation into, and comparison of, different world belief systems or "worldviews" ("Weltanschauung" in the German.) The author examines and explains the basics of such "isms" as theism, deism, existentialism, "New Age" philosophy, and postmodernism. Grover Gardner, who is never one to disappoint his readers, doesn't miss a beat in this production. Sire's work is an easy-to-read work, and Gardner reads as though he is the author. He has the confidence of someone who has command of his subject. His subtly expressive voice is deliberate, but never pedantic. M.T.F. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 05/ JAN 06]
