For 30 years, Bayly wrote Eternity magazine's popular "Out of My Mind" column. Now, for the first time, the best of those much-talked-about columns--plus sermons, interviews, poems, and letters--has been collected in a book that's sure Kenneth Taylor, and C. Everett Koop.
Universities and colleges are in a unique position to take a leadership role on global warming. As communities, they can strategize and organize effective action. As laboratories for learning and centers of research, they can reduce their own emissions of greenhouse gases, educate students about global warming, and direct scholarly attention to issues related to climate change and energy.
