Most of this book was at some point or other written as articles which could be read as stand-alone items so one way of reading this book would be to simply read it - a section at a time and hopefully with Bible in hand, looking up the passages I have used. Would that all walked with God and acknowledged his sovereignty! It is one of the great human tragedies that people generally choose to go their own way and that the relationship with their Maker is broken. If we are to 'put the world to rights' we must start with ourselves and ensure that our relationship with God is put right first and then we must continue to search out a path which will keep us in step with Him and ultimately bring us upon a path which will lead to a time and place on earth where all is right with God. First we must get to know God. Second understand the nature we have and how we are separated from Him. Thirdly it is necessary to understand that God has provided a way by which sin's breach has been resolved through the saviour God has provided; Jesus Christ. And finally, we need to know where we are headed. And who is going with us. It is important to acknowledge at this point that the answers to all our questions are in the Bible. How should we regard this book?

Electricity is all around us: cars, telephones, computers, lights -- the modern world runs entirely on electrons. But what are electrons? How do they behave? How do we control them? This book will show you how to build a battery, detect static electricity and construct a basic current meter, all using common items from your kitchen. Along the way you'll learn about the meaning of "voltage" and "current," what makes an LED work and the difference between AC and DC. The last chapter uses transistors -- the basic building blocks of every computer -- for lots of interesting experiments. With plenty of colorful illustrations, historical stories and an easy, accessible style, "A Kitchen Course in Electricity and Magnetism" will be a great start for budding and amateur scientists who want to learn more about how the world works.

Suitable for a one-semester course in general relativity for senior undergraduates or beginning graduate students, this text clarifies the mathematical aspects of Einstein's theory of relativity without sacrificing physical understanding. The text begins with an exposition of those aspects of tensor calculus and differential geometry needed for a proper treatment of the subject. The discussion then turns to the spacetime of general relativity and to geodesic motion. A brief consideration of the field equations is followed by a discussion of physics in the vicinity of massive objects, including an elementary treatment of black holes and rotating objects. The main text concludes with introductory chapters on gravitational radiation and cosmology. This new third edition has been updated to take account of fresh observational evidence and experiments.
