Brian M. is on page 56 of 384 of What Is Real?: The Unfinished Quest for the Meaning of Quantum Physics
So far, this is the Cliffnotes of Pais' 1991 book: Niels Bohr's Times, in Physics, Philosophy, and Polity. In places, the book look verbatim. More serious readers should select Pais, but beware, it is very dense.

Brian M. is on page 47 of 208 of Living with Darwin: Evolution, Design, and the Future of Faith (Philosophy in Action)
An exceptionally detailed argument against creation and intelligent design. His tone is not one of mocking, but attempting to give each a fair shake. Kitcher allows the their premises, facts, and common sense to ultimately delegitimize taking either seriously in contemporary society.

So far, an extraordinary argument about the decline in violence. Riveting historical documents that reveal how violent ordinary life used to be.
