This timely work addresses sensitive issues and relations between Muslims and Christians around the world. The book uniquely captures the opportunity for Christians and Muslims to come together and discuss pertinent issues such as pluralism; governance; preaching; Christian missionary efforts; and general misperceptions of Muslim and Christian communities. Joint authorship and discussion within the book is used to offer dialogue and responses between different contributors. This dialogue reveals that Christians and Muslims hold many things in common while having meaningful differences.

What it is is the best collection of pictures taken at the Groom Lake Base. About half the book is dedicated early operations and the U2 program. The next third concerns the various Lockheed blackbird models; and the remainder is everything else. You won't find anything UFO related here. The pictures are well-annotated. Nobody knows this stuff better than Peter Merlin. He has been a dedicated aviation historian for more than two decades. There are plenty of pictures of Soviet planes that were evaluated at Groom. Until this book; I had never seen pictures of a stealth cruise missile called Senior Prom which was a contemporary of the F-117's predecessor; Have Blue. There are pictures taken inside two bars at the base; Sam's Place and the Conehead Bar. You don't need to worry about current military technology being compromised by this book. The only aircraft picture that dates since 1990 is of the Boeing 737-600 "Janet" aircraft; but that picture was taken at their terminal in Las Vegas. This fairly small book is a must-have for the wonk; and it would be an interesting read for any aviation enthusiast.Rumor has it that Peter Merlin is planning a more comprehensive Dreamland/Area 51/Groom Lake book. I'm looking forward to it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Another Sepia Toned Beauty.By Pvt. W. G. Kirby CustomerSee my review of the Edwards AFB book if you are unfamiliar with this series of books. They're all worth the price of admission. This book deals with the Groom Lake / Tonapah test range...the super secret Area 51! It rolls back the curtains a bit for us; talking about the past test programs conducted there that are now somewhat declassified; so photos are available to fill the book with unique illustrations of U-2s; A-12s; SR-71s; Stealth aircraft of all sorts; unknown of testbed equipment; and the now admitted to and declassified "secret" MiG squadrons flown by the USAF and USN pilots there during the times from 1968 to the late 1980s. Sure as can be; there are probably more foreign aircraft still there but under deeper classifications than any ever before; and many people believe the mythical "Hanger 18" is at Area 51; housing our otherworldly air vehicles being evaluated since the events at Roswell in 1947! Maybe so...maybe no! But; one thing I've noticed is that the U.S. military has never actually retired a weapons or flight system (read airplane) from service until we have a really superior replacement installed and perfected to take its place. If so; maybe the so called "Aurora" hypersonic recon bird that was supposedly being tested at Area 51really has taken the place of the SR-71 after all...if so; you can bet Area 51 has something to do with it... Anyhow; another nice book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Four StarsBy daisy girlinteresting story
