Richard Connell byl jedním z nejvýznamnějších amerických autorů povídek své doby. Jeho díla, známá svou napínavou zápletkou a pronikavým pohledem na lidskou psychiku, se často objevovala v předních dobových časopisech. Connellův talent přesahoval hranice povídek, což dokazuje i jeho úspěšná kariéra novináře a scenáristy, za kterou získal nominaci na Oscara.

Richard A. Conn, Jr. demonstrates why all parents who value science and reason can help stop the centuries-old practice of religious indoctrination and offers advice on how to encourage children to discover the world and their place in it for themselves. Only by teaching them that we are in this world together and have a limited time to live can we truly enable them to flourish and build a peaceful world--not just for their generation but for the future.
