My Publication Journey: Purposeful and Peripateic
Gregory L. Baker was born in Toronto, Canada, and educated primarily in Canadian schools. He recieved his Doctorate in physics from the University of Toronto in 1970. Moving to the Huntingdon Valley area of Southeastern Pennsylvania, Gregory began his almost four decade career as a professor of physics and mathematics at Bryn Athyn College of the New Church. This volume contains almost the entirety of Dr. Baker's published papers (exclusive of his books). For completness, it also includes those co-authored with colleagues. Beginning with publications supporting his Ph.D. work, this collection comprises scientific, philosophic, and religious areas, as well as more personal statements addressed to students and public recollections of colleagues and friends.
My Piecewise Continuous Life
"Gregory L. Baker was born in Toronto, Canada, and educated primarily in Canadian schools. He received his Doctorate in physics from the University of Toronto in 1970. Moving to the Huntingdon Valley area of Southeastern Pennsylvania, Gregory began his almost four decade career as a professor of physics and mathematics at Bryn Athyn College of the New Church. This memoir is the story of his early life, his education, his professional career, hi various interests, and his family life. The title of the work is a mathematical metaphor for some of the sudden shifts in his education and upbringing. The tone is both descriptive and reflective. This memoir is written for his children and grandchildren. It is part of their family history." -- From back cover.
Seven Tales of the Pendulum
The pendulum is a unique physical system which exhibits remarkably varied and complex behavior under many different conditions. It is also a system which, in its many manifestations, has left a significant imprint on human thought and culture. Using graphs, figures, and narrative to explain scientific ideas and models, Gregory Baker gives a lucid account of the physics of the pendulum, showing the reader how the context of the pendulum progresses over four centuries from that of a simple system of classical physics, to that of a chaotic system, and eventually to that of a modern quantum system. He also describes its fascinating presence in cultural history, from its role in timekeeping and measurements of the earth to its importance as a literary symbol of doom. Seven 'tales', detailing different important facets of the pendulum, show the exciting diversity of the science of the pendulum, and its untold significance in the history of human intellectual development.
The Pendulum
The pendulum: a case study in physics is a unique book in several ways. Firstly, it is a comprehensive quantitative study of one physical system, the pendulum, from the viewpoint of elementary and more advanced classical physics, modern chaotic dynamics, and quantum mechanics. In addition, coupled pendulums and pendulum analogs of superconducting devices are also discussed. Secondly, this book treats the physics of the pendulum within a historical and cultural context, showing, for example, that the pendulum has been intimately connected with studies of the earth's density, the earth's motion, and timekeeping. While primarily a physics book, the work provides significant added interest through the use of relevant cultural and historical vignettes. This approach offers an alternative to the usual modern physics courses. The text is amply illustrated and augmented by exercises at the end of each chapter.
Chaotic Dynamics
The previous edition of this text was the first to provide a quantitative introduction to chaos and nonlinear dynamics at the undergraduate level. It was widely praised for the clarity of writing and for the unique and effective way in which the authors presented the basic ideas. These same qualities characterize this revised and expanded second edition. Interest in chaotic dynamics has grown explosively in recent years. Applications to practically every scientific field have had a far-reaching impact. As in the first edition, the authors present all the main features of chaotic dynamics using the damped, driven pendulum as the primary model. This second edition includes additional material on the analysis and characterization of chaotic data, and applications of chaos. This new edition of Chaotic Dynamics can be used as a text for courses on chaos for physics and engineering students at the second- and third-year level.

Healing the Scars of Emotional Abuse
This helpful guide reveals how those who have been emotionally abused can overcome the past and rebuild their self-image.
The Pendulum
"The Pendulum: A Case Study in Physics" describes one physical system - the pendulum - and its manifestations in classical and modern physics. While being a technical work, this remarkable study is set within the context of the technological, historical, and cultural developments to which the pendulum has contributed.
