An Orthodox Understanding of the Bible with Physical Science
For centuries, the Christian world and the scientific world have supposedly been at odds. Those who strictly believe that God created the universe have had difficulty accepting such scientific concepts as the speed of light, the immense distances of astronomy, and the long ages of radioactivity and earth science.This book bridges the gap between scientific and Christian beliefs by asking the reader: What if both sides are parallel revelations by God? An Orthodox Understanding of the Bible With Physical Science is a mixture of Biblical exposition and explanation of modern physical science, including relativity and quantum theory. The book also includes a chapter of scientific parables for children.
Light Revolutions
This book outlines the history thus far of a novel scientific project started in 1999, in Christchurch New Zealand and has proceed with help from German scientific agencies and scientists. The project is unique it resulted in the largest known ring lasers to monitor fluctuations in earth rotation including novel lunar and seismic effects, also in that the laboratory was a disused military bunker at Cashmere in Christchurch built in case of Japanese invasion of New Zealand during WWII the mirror technology used was developed for military purpose in the U.S.A. in recent decades, although the project has never had military support.
Explaining the Universe
In this fascinating book, John Charap offers a panoramic view of the physicist's world as the twenty-first century opens--a view that is entirely different from the one that greeted the twentieth century. We have learned that the universe is billions of galaxies larger than we imagined--and billions of years older. We know more about how it came to be and what it is. Because of physics, we live in a world of greater danger and more convenience, smaller particles and bigger ideas. Charap introduces these ideas but spares us the math behind them. After a review of the twentieth century's thorough transformation of physics, he checks in on the latest findings from particle physics, astrophysics...

The Emergence of Geophysics: A Journey into the Twentieth Century
How did geophysics begin? Who were the pioneers of this new science? What instruments did they devise to measure the Earth-related phenomena they were interested in? This Memoir attempts to answer such questions in a well-illustrated, and largely non-technical, account. The seventeenth century saw magnetism used as an aid to prospecting for iron ore in Sweden, and Isaac Newton’s derivation of the law of gravitational attraction. A gradually increasing interest in ‘physics of the Earth’ brought forth the new discipline of ‘geophysics’ in the early nineteenth century and, by the end of the following century, airborne and satellite-based investigations had become routine. The Emergence of Geophysics explores this evolution in several parallel strands: terrestrial magnetism and electricity, gravity, seismicity, heat, geodynamics and radioactivity, broadly reflecting the timing of their introduction as tools aiding geophysical studies. Biographical information is included for many of its practitioners and the book should be of interest to both geophysicists and to anyone interested in the history of Earth science.
Dark Matter
A terrifying 1930s ghost story set in the haunting wilderness of the far north. January 1937. Clouds of war are gathering over a fogbound London. Twenty-eight year old Jack is poor, lonely and desperate to change his life. So when he's offered the chance to join an Arctic expedition, he jumps at it. Spirits are high as the ship leaves Norway: five men and eight huskies, crossing the Barents Sea by the light of the midnight sun. At last they reach the remote, uninhabited bay where they will camp for the next year. Gruhuken. But the Arctic summer is brief. As night returns to claim the land, Jack feels a creeping unease. One by one, his companions are forced to leave. He faces a stark choice. Stay or go. Soon he will see the last of the sun, as the polar night engulfs the camp in months of darkness. Soon he will reach the point of no return - when the sea will freeze, making escape impossible. And Gruhuken is not uninhabited. Jack is not alone. Something walks there in the dark...
The Cross of Sacrifice: Officers Who Died in the Service of British, Indian and East African Regiments and Corps, 1914-1919
A tremendous piece of research, conducted over ten years, in which are listed, in alphabetical order, the names of over 60,000 officers of the British Empire who died during the Great War, including nurses and female aid workers. Based on the CWGC Registers, the information provided includes not only that shown in ‘Officers Died' but also the place of burial or commemoration. The alphabetical listing means that looking up a name does not require prior knowledge of the regiment (as in ‘Officers Died') though this information is given, as well as cross-reference to the relevant page number in ‘Officers Died’.
