Bøker av Robert J. Spitzer

?Spitzer blends research on the impact of the New York-based Right to Life Party (RTLP) with questions of representation. He includes an analysis of four 18th-century third parties: Liberal, Free Soil, Greenback, and Prohibition. He develops a dynamic model of party development, which recognizes the nexus between the mobilization of discontent outsiders and the structure of political opportunities in election laws.... Based on the New York experience, Spitzer advocates a nationwide multiparty system to compel the major parties to address new issues and promote party renewal.... A valuable addition to college libraries.?-Choice

With the incredible popularity of recent books championing agnosticism or atheism, many people might never know that such books almost completely ignore the considerable evidence for theism uncovered in both physics and philosophy over the past four decades. New Proofs for the Existence of God responds to these glaring omissions. From universal space-time asymmetry to cosmic coincidences to the intelligibility of reality, Robert Spitzer tackles a wealth of evidence. He considers string theory, quantum cosmology, mathematical thoughts on infinity, and much more. This fascinating and stunning collection of evidence provides solid grounding for reasonable and responsible belief in a super-intelligent, transcendent, creative power standing at the origins of our universe.
