International Praise for The Wildfire Season A Globe and Mail , Vancouver Sun , and Calgary Herald Best Book of the Year " Lost Girls was one of the most stunning debuts I've read: literate, scary, haunting. Now, with The Wildfire Season, Andrew Pyper has solidified that marvellous potential. A novel of true haunting loneliness and isolation, plus a gripping story that scorches off the page. This novel of extraordinary power combines the supernatural, edge of your seat suspense, nature in all its wondrous ferocity, and scars--visible and invisible. The writing is a dream, demonstrating that indeed, the past can kill.

Synopsis
Haunted. Scarred. Alone. And the nightmare's just beginning. Of all the end-of-the-world places he could have run to after he was burned, Miles McEwan chose Ross River. Buried deep in the vast wilderness of the Yukon, it seemed the perfect place to escape the past. Best of all, he could carry on doing what he did best--fighting fire. But five years on, Miles is still troubled by two phantoms of his previous life: the young man whose agonizing death preys on his conscience, and the woman he abandoned as a consequence. And in the dark forest around Ross River, fire and violence are brewing. As a small blaze becomes an inferno, a group of bear trackers is about to encounter nature in its wildest form. Elsewhere a killer is going about his work, quietly and ruthlessly. As the survivors of the hunting party are picked off one by one and fire rages through the mountains, Miles embarks on a desperate rescue mission, driven by love for a daughter who, until this dangerous summer, had been a perfect stranger. A remarkable work,The Wildfire Seasonis an edgy psychological thriller, a supernatural chiller, a terrifying tale of untamed nature, and an unusual--and unusually moving--story of what one can choose to endure in the name of love., English summary: Over the centuries and into the new millennium, scientists, theologians, and the general public have shared many questions about the implications of scientific discoveries for religious faith. Nuclear physicist and theologian Ian G. Barbour presents a clear, contemporary introduction to the essential issues, ideas, and solutions in the relationship between science and religion. In simple, straightforward language, Barbour explores the fascinating topics that illuminate the critical encounter of the spiritual and quantitative dimensions of life. German text. German description: Das englische Original prasentiert sich als DIE Einfuhrung zu dem Verhaltnis zwischen Religion und Naturwissenschaft. Und das ist nicht ubertrieben. Ian G. Barbour ist der Nestor des naturwissenschaftlich-religiosen Dialogs und sein Buch halt, was es verspricht: Barbour gibt eine ubersichtliche, aktuelle Einfuhrung in die Kernthemen des Dialogs zwischen Naturwissenschaft und Glaube. In einfacher, klar verstandlicher Sprache beleuchtet er die faszinierenden Themen, die sich an der Schnittstelle der materiellen und der spirituellen Dimension des Lebens ergeben, z.B. Neurowissenschaften, Genetik und die Natur des Menschen, Evolution und andauernde Schopfung, die Implikationen der Quantenphysik fur das Weltbild, Astronomie und Schopfung.
