The Sun, the Earth, and Near-earth Space
" ... Concise explanations and descriptions - easily read and readily understood - of what we know of the chain of events and processes that connect the Sun to the Earth, with special emphasis on space weather and Sun-Climate."--Dear Reader.
THE SUN, THE EARTH, AND NEAR-EARTH SPACE (Illustrated)
This brilliant book by John A. Eddy gives brief clarifications and portrayals effectively read and promptly comprehended of what is currently known about the chain of occasions and cycles that interface the Sun to the Earth, with extraordinary accentuation on space climate and sun-environment.
The New Solar Physics
Our concepts of the sun have been altered by four new developments--the discovery of apparent global solar oscillations, an unsettled and unsettling deficit of neutrinos from the center of the sun, a new elucidation of the role of solar wind, and some disturbing historical facts that shake old concepts of solar constancy and regularity. This volume brings together summaries of these four developments in solar physics, written by the four scientists whose work has prompted our new assessment of the sun.

The Unfair Advantage
The Unfair Advantage is the edge-of-your-seat story of John "Robby" Eddy, a former federal prisoner whose crimes made national headlines. But that conviction was just the tip of the iceberg. "I had done far worse," Robby writes, "and with far worse people. I had been arrested forty-five times, almost died a violent death on several occasions (including once by a contract killing), ravaged my mind and body with powerful drugs and nonstop drinking for years, and OD'd twice, once to the point of looking down on my coding body as the paramedics frantically applied the defibrillator paddles in the ambulance."All before his twenty-ninth birthday. Then one night, on a cold jail cell floor, he found...
John Hick's Pluralist Philosophy of World Religions
According to John Hick's model of religious pluralism, all the world's great religions present equally valid ways of understanding and responding to the same ultimate Reality. This book offers an exposition of, and critical response to, Hick's model. Following an introductory chapter that surveys dominant approaches to religious diversity, the rise and development of Hick's pluralist interpretation of religions is traced. Finally, a critical assessment of Hick's mature pluralist model is offered. The conclusion: Hick's model is ultimately unsuccessful in overcoming the pluralist's most difficult conceptual problem, namely providing an adequate account of the fact that the world's religions understand the divine Reality in often contradictory ways. Ultimately, Hick's own solution threatens two of his long-cherished goals: a robust religious realism and a tradition-neutral religious pluralism.
