corrections as of May 2017 as well as an updated back cover. Roger
Wagner's Assembly Lines articles originally appeared in Softalk
magazine from October 1980 to June 1983. The first fifteen articles
were reprinted in 1982 in Assembly Lines: The Book. Now, for the
first time, all thirty-three articles are available in one complete
volume. This edition also contains all of the appendices from the
original book as well as new appendices on the 65C02, zero-page
memory usage, and a beginner's guide to using the Merlin Assembler.
The book is designed for students of all ages: the nostalgic
programmer enjoying the retro revolution, the newcomer interested
in learning low-level assembly coding, or the embedded systems
developer using the latest 65C02 chips from Western Design Center.
"Roger Wagner didn't just read the first book on programming the
Apple computer-he wrote it." - Steve Wozniak
Join Harriet, Darwin's pet tortoise, and Milton, Schrodinger's
indecisive cat on a time-travelling quest of discovery, unravelling
scientific exploration and religious beliefs and how they fit
together. Throughout the centuries humans have been looking for
answers to BIG questions - how did the universe start? Is there a
God behind it? Has science explained away the need for a God, or
can faith enhance scientific discovery? On this adventure Harriet
and Milton are investigating who the first scientists were. Step
into Harriet and Milton's time machine, bring some snacks, and
enjoy this curious quest of discovery - become a Mesopotamian
stargazer, cast your vote in 'Greece has Scientific Talent', and
meet Pythagoras! Written by Julia Golding, winner of the
Waterstones Children's Book Prize 2006, and the Nestle Smarties
Book Prize 2006.

When young children first begin to ask 'why?' they embark on a
journey with no final destination. The need to make sense of the
world as a whole is an ultimate curiosity that lies at the root of
all human religions. It has, in many cultures, shaped and motivated
a more down to earth scientific interest in the physical world,
which could therefore be described as penultimate curiosity. These
two manifestations of curiosity have a history of connection that
goes back deep into the human past. Tracing that history all the
way from cave painting to quantum physics, this book (a
collaboration between a painter and a physical scientist that uses
illustrations throughout the narrative) sets out to explain the
nature of the long entanglement between religion and science: the
ultimate and the penultimate curiosity.

Roger Wagner is one of the most significant Christian artists and
poets working today. This collection combines his poems and
paintings in pairs to explore specific places and familiar biblical
narratives, inviting us to see them from new and unexpected angles.
Roger's poems and pictures range over a wide terrain. Some are
located in particular places in Oxfordshire and Suffolk and in
particular moments of spiritual autobiography. Others take their
starting point from biblical stories or moments in church history.
Together, they show that to grasp spiritual truths we often need to
approach them from different directions at the same time.

Artist and poet Roger Wagner presents a selection of Psalms as they
have never been seen before, newly translated and each accompanied
by an illustration inviting the reader to pause and contemplate.
Roger Wagner's translations faithfully evoke the world of the
Psalms and the experience of those who composed and sang them,
while his illustrations interpret their rich imagery against the
backdrop of our world. In the Hebrew bible the psalms are entitled
Sepher Tehillim - 'The Book of Praises', and praise is the fixed
song that sounds throughout the collection. Though praise is
surrounded by many other voices that contradict and challenge,
whether complaint, lament, anger, pain, guilt, desolation or
longing, its underlying note remains unshakeable. Demonstrating the
continuing beauty, honesty and power of the Psalms through the
centuries, The Book of Praises is the work of one of today's
outstanding religious artists and poets.
