This book highlights multiple perspectives related to the Cold War presented by scholars from almost all continents. They discuss a variety of consequences of the Cold War for various countries and regions focusing on politics, economy, culture, and memory - according to their own professional interests.

This book examines the question of rational belief about God through evidence from natural religion and then from revealed religion. Evidence from science supports belief that the first causes of the Universe and life were powerful intelligent beings and revealed religion tells us much more about God's nature and purposes.
