Samuel Alibrando has assembled a wonderful series of articles and short stories that are ideally suited for the person with "snippets" of time to read. The articles are thought-provoking and written in an engaging manner and not the in-your-face here's how it is dictation style. At the end of each article you can really sense the author's desire to have you think about his points and come to your own conclusions.

A great book ... highly recommended.

Author, songwriter, and naturally inquisitive, Samuel Alibrando draws from his newspaper column some one hundred "bite-size" articles celebrating the concept of Intelligent Design, and along the way surveys a wide range of examples of nature in some rather unusual, insightful, and occasionally inspiring observations in Nature Never Stops Talking: The Wonderful Ingenuity Of Nature. Thoroughly "reader friendly" and scientifically enlightening, Alibrando groups his succinct commentaries such sections as "Earth and Space", "Scientific Properties", "The Small Stuff", "Beginnings", "Plants and Trees", "Insects", "Specific Creatures", "DNA", "The Human Body", and "Yeah, What About That?". Enhanced with an extensive appendices and a comprehensive Index, Nature Never Stops Talking is informed and informative reading that is as inherently interesting as it is factually engaging. Nature Never Stops Talking would make an exceptionally popular addition to any community library collection or curious nature lover's personal reading list.

Knowing I was interested in the debate over intelligent design, a friend loaned me this book. I read it occasionally for a few weeks, and was hooked, so I bought my own copy. It is a compilation of columns written for a newspaper in California, so each article is short and to the point. The book is about nature and science and how things work, written so a layman could understand. It is appropriate for an older child, or to be read and explained by a parent to younger children. Every time I pick it up and read another article, I learn something! For example, I learned that water is unique as a liquid in that when it turns solid (freezes) it gets lighter, not heavier, so the ice is on top of a pond or lake. The ramifications of that fact for life as we know it are immense. Now, I knew that ice floated (my ice-cubes do), so that was not new to me, but what was new to me were the details of that fact and the impact that such a phenomena has on living creatures like me. Buy the book, you will not be disappointed!

An inspiring perspective of the Creator. Alibrando opens your senses to the wonder and amazement of intelligent design and offers a compelling set of observations and research which simply speaks for itself. This book will forever change the way you view this world.

Excellent book! I started reading a chapter a night to my son. It inspired some thought-provokinig conversations. Now he won't let me go to bed without reading him at least one chapter. This book has promoted some good time together for us. Great stuff!

We have two young girls that we teach at home and we are looking forward to sharing this book. My one daughter is filled with questions and wonder why about everything. This is a great book to cuddle up with your kids in your bed or on the sofa and get lost in the wonder and joy of creation.

Nature Never Stops Talking is from a popular newspaper column created by Mr. Alibrando to celebrate and explore "Intelligent Design". Each article in this book is an eye-opening, fascinating, wonderful treat for the mind and the senses. The author used scientific truths--not personal opinions or bias--to prove the ingenuity of nature. Unlike the tedious nature shows from Discovery or the Science channel that is fraught with boring details and personal agendas, Mr. Alibrando has taken many of these same subjects and presented them in an enlightening, fascinating way that makes me want to keep exploring and learning.

Highly recommended. I liked one reviewer's suggestion to read a chapter each night with the young person in your life. Great way to explore the amazing ways of creation without feeling like you've been force-fed the writer's ideas and agendas. Must have book for anyone of any age who's ever experienced a moment of fascination about the world around us.
