Dear Jack:
“This book is a readable tour de force of some amazing discoveries of science, not a boring chemistry book written by a leading scientist.” A reviewer at Amazon.com wrote those words last year about the book Foresight, published by Discovery Institute Press.
Since 2001, Discovery Institute Press (DI Press) has published insightful, well-researched, and critically acclaimed books that challenge mainstream thinking about evolution and intelligent design. Nearly 200,000 copies of our books have been sold or distributed for free to readers in English-speaking countries. And a growing number are being translated into Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Arabic, and other languages.
DI Press books are increasingly influential, too. One was endorsed by three Nobel Prize-winning scientists. Another was recognized as a book of the year in the prestigious London Spectator. And a third helped persuade a prominent Yale scientist to become critical of Darwinian evolution.
Unfortunately, because of the stranglehold of Darwinism on academic elites, many of these books would never see the light of day with traditional publishers. That’s why your support of Discovery Institute Press is so important.
Generous donors made it possible for us to publish an updated and expanded version of The Mystery of Life’s Origin in January. In May, Evolution and Intelligent Design in a Nutshell will be released, followed by Michael Denton's Miracle of the Cell in the summer, and a yet unnamed book by Michael Behe in the fall.
But have you ever considered what it takes for Discovery Institute to bring one book to the market each year, let alone four books?
From reviewing book proposals to editing drafts, and from creating beautiful covers to planning promotional campaigns, every step of the process consumes the time and talent of many.
That’s where you come in. Your support is vital to the creation, production, and promotion of books that are changing minds of young and old alike.
Your generosity is especially needed this month as we finalize the production of Evolution and Intelligent Design in a Nutshell. This up-to-date and easy-to-read guide to origins science explores some new scientific discoveries that have revived the conversation about the origin of living things and the Universe. The book is geared to high school seniors and college-age students new to the ID movement, but even veterans have lots to gain from the new information unveiled. We are excited to have it join our catalog of offerings!
If you donate $10 or more right now, you will receive a link to download Chapter 2 of this new book ("Information and the Origin of Life") and can read it weeks before anyone else!
So what difference will your gift make to Discovery Institute Press?
$25 purchases one social media ad to promote a book
$75 funds the distribution of a book to four reviewers
$1,000 offsets the costs of cover design and the licensing of images
$5,000 underwrites the costs of editing and proofing a book
Discovery Institute Press provides vital resources to those searching for the truth about evolution and intelligent design. You are also vital to our success, as you come alongside our writers, editors, designers, and social media promoters to make these books a reality!
