DAVID FROST

Published to coincide with the launch of Ron Howard's blockbuster film, and following on from the huge success of the eponymous West End and Broadway play, "Frost/Nixon" tells the extraordinary story of how David Frost pursued and landed the biggest fish of his career. When he first conceived the idea of interviewing Richard Nixon and trying to bring the ex-President to confront his past, he was told on all sides that the project would never get off the ground. Yet in the end he succeeded, and the resulting television series drew larger audiences than any news program ever had in the United States, before being shown all over the world.Including hilarious tales of the people Frost encountered along the way and fascinating insights into the making of the series itself, this book provides an account of the only public trial that Nixon would ever have, and a revelation of the man's character as it appeared in the stress of twelve grueling sessions before the cameras.Fully revised and updated with historical perspective, and including transcripts of the edited interviews, "Frost/Nixon" describes David Frost's quest to produce one of the most dramatic pieces of television ever broadcast.

In Blind Evolution?: The Nature of Humanity and the Origin of Life, Professor David Frost challenges the dominant worldview derived from Darwins evolutionary theories and perpetuated in Richard Dawkinss atheistic propaganda for Neo-Darwinism: that our universe has at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil and no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference. Frost deploys recent findings from a range of scientific studies that shake Neo-Darwinism to its foundation. Citing entertaining examples, from the inner workings of a single cell to the animal kingdom at large, from elephants and giraffes to the Japanese pufferfish, Frost maintains that Darwinian premises are wholly inadequate to engage with life or to provide a framework for our experiences of joy and sorrow, the problem of suffering, and the stark realities of good and evil. Reflecting on the nature of existence, Frost points to a mode of human understanding parallel to scientific enquiry through the path of vision accessed via the nous (or spiritual intellect). He argues that vision is as much essential to our understanding of creation as is scientific enquiry - reality is best approached through a complementary partnership of both.
