I heard the author on the Kojo Namdi radio show on WAMU in Washington DC. He was uncommonly wellspoken. I didn't catch all of the interview, but what I heard caught my attention, and I wondered if anyone has had a chance to read the book, which is a recent publication. He presents his ideas as a way to avoid the reductionism of writers such as Dawkins and Dennett (though he appears to admire these writers). There is a good summary on the following link:

This might be a good non-fiction book to consider for BT.
