Again
"Repetition is the only form of permanence that nature can achieve, says philosopher George Santayana in his Soliloquies in England. The rhythm of the novel Again is, so to speak, based on a pattern of three, four, and five. There are three intertwined stories of repetition involving four men and five women. The men are Greek-Americans, three brothers and their cousin. Of the five women, two are deceased when the novel's action begins. The novel's action spans about half-a-year. I have conflated days of the late 1940s and mid-1980s, which permits the aging Greek immigrant community that I knew in the 1940s to be present for events occurring in the 1980s"--Back cover.
CarathŽodory and the Second Law
"The Carathéodory formulation of the second law of thermodynamics is elegant and economical. The thirty page exposition lays out the essentials, both conceptual and mathematical, of his formulation. The nine appendices provide additional detail and depth if the reader wants it, and can be read independently of one another"--Back cover
Days of '68 and '69
"Days of '68 and '69" is about the destructive power of anger. It is about a tumultuous time in the university and the opposition to the war in Vietnam. It is about the perpetual interplay between theory and observation in science. It is about the confusion of youth, about love found and then destroyed, and about the steadfastness of love. It is about the days of the author's youth in a watershed period in American social history.
The Midnight Swan
"The myth of Orpheus is of loss and recovery. There seems to be nothing mythic about the American protagonist, Frederic Baras, of this novella, and apparently the only traits that he shares with the Orpheus of legend are his musicianship and his roots in Thrace, northern Greece, from which his grandfather immigrated. But the Orphic element resides not in the personality of any man or woman, but in the rhythm of coming-to-be and passing-away in the kingdoms of life. The Orphic theme arises from the entangled lives of the three principal characters: Frederic Baras; Dree Vreelan, a naturalist searching for the legendary Midnight Swan, and conservationist attempting to save Oak Knoll from commercial development; and Louise Loeffler, a virtuoso pianist who shares Baras's passion for music. The time is now, the place Lost Isle University adjacent to the city of Fort Clark in the northern steppe of the United States" (from back of book)
