Miles from Nowhere
"In this splendid book a gifted observer and a terrific idea have come together in a real love match. In 1990, a century after the census bureau's famous observation of the frontier's imminent end, Dayton Duncan set out in an aging GMC Suburban to visit a large sampling of counties outside Alaska that have fewer than two persons per square milethe bureau's old standard for places still in a frontier condition. There are 132 such counties. All are in the West. . . . The result of his tour is an insightful and entertaining book, troubling and funny and consistently illuminating. . . . Much of the book's charm comes from Duncan's sketches of people who choose to live 'miles from nowhere'rancher...

Publisher Description
Questioning the Universe
WINNER 2009 CHOICE AWARD OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC TITLE! The typical introduction to physics leaves readers with the impression that physics is about 30 different, unconnected topics such as motion, forces, gravity, electricity, light, heat, energy, and atoms. More often than not, these readers are left to conclude that physics is mostly about boring,
Mock the Haggard Face
This is a honestly realistic novel graphically describing the experiences of a representative group of young Canadians volunteering to fight an unknown enemy in an obscure Asian peninsula for reasons as varied as their ethnic and social backgrounds. The author accurately portrays their motivations and experiences along with a convincing picture of the actual fighting avoiding unwarranted heroics and sensationalism, portraying a truthful account of what Korea was like to the men in the front lines as well as the loves they left behind in Canada and the United States. Written in a chronological form emphasizing its historical perspective centering on the activities of a Canadian battalion, in its build up, training in Canada and the United States, finally indoctrination in battle. The incidents are real for the most part, also indicating for soldiers death and tragedy often occurring unexpectedly, not necessarily confined to the battle field. The contribution of Canada to the United Nations effort halting Communist aggression in the Far East is not as well known as it deserves to be; this book is intended to make up for it.
Electricity and Magnetism
By covering the basics of static electricity, current electricity, and magnetism, this book develops a scientific model showing that electricity and magnetism are really the same phenomenon in different forms. As author Bill Robertson writes, "The book you have in your hands is not a textbook. It is, however, designed to help you 'get' science at a level you never thought possible, and also to bring you to the point where tackling more traditional science resources won't be a terrifying, lump-in-your-throat, I-don't-think-I'll-survive experience."
The Physics of Capitalism
A comprehensive blueprint for a new post-capitalist order—which values our collective future over immediate economic gains The fate of all economic systems is written in the energy flows they obtain from the natural world. Our collective humanity very much depends on nature—for joy, for comfort, and for sheer survival. In his prescient new book, The Physics of Capitalism, Erald Kolasi explores the deep ecological physics of human existence by developing a new theoretical framework for understanding the relationship between economic systems and the wider natural world. Nature is full of complex and dynamic systems that are constantly interacting with our societies. The collective physical...
Perfect Grace!
Tom Hughes, a pastor for over forty years, knows first-hand the discouragement that comes from the endless pursuit of perfection. Many have only heard the gospel of Jesus PLUS our good works. A gospel all about what we do for God, rather than a gospel of what God has done for us. He has given us the blessed gift of His Son, whose perfection is there to cover us all. We can't add anything to God's perfect grace, we just gratefully accept his glorious gift of salvation full and free! Finally, off the treadmill of working our way to heaven, we can make the gospel the basis for our worship and have the rest that only comes through trusting in the accomplishments of Jesus Christ on our behalf.
