The Encyclopedia of Evolution by Richard Milner

A compendium of information on evolution which encompasses, in over 500 entries, every aspect of thought on the subject, from the scholarly to the popular. The work also relates scientific ideas to major themes in Western thought and their impact on literature, politics and popular culture.

Author Richard Milner combined his early experience of Aikido and Zen Buddhism with his later practice of Krav Maga to create an original, hybrid philosophy and martial art for usage in Vessel of Kali, which the students of Kali practice in the book. A single image of the goddess Kali seen in a religious art book inspired the tale. The story's primary plot points, main characters, and ultimate goal all came to life at that point. It was composed over a six-year period, including a full year of near-isolation while traveling and completing a post-graduate degree. Vessel of Kali is a deeply intimate work that chronicles a spiritual struggle to transcend institutional and individual power abuses. It's written as a work-in-progress, a set of events that will be recounted as an allegory of ancient times by future generations.
