Centrum
This novel follows the stories of three young adults from America, France and Belgium as they live through the upheavals of war and revolution. The narrative spans many locales from the Bronx to the Sahara, the vineyards of France to the streets of Paris, the cafes of Europe to the mines of the Borrinage and tugboats of the Schelde. There is murder in Switzerland, betrayal in Belgium, and insurgency in Algeria. From the final stages of World War II, the Hungarian Revolution, the Suez War, the FLN terror campaign in France and the French reprisals, the lives of ordinary people are swept into the whirlpool of history. This is a story of individuals. And through their lives we experience the story of their times. But also we begin to recognize a theme that recurs throughout history: that we are all related in the crucible of events.
A First Course in Computational Physics
Computers and computation are extremely important components of physics and should be integral parts of a physicist’s education. Furthermore, computational physics is reshaping the way calculations are made in all areas of physics. Intended for the physics and engineering students who have completed the introductory physics course, A First Course in Computational Physics, Second Edition covers the different types of computational problems using MATLAB with exercises developed around problems of physical interest. Topics such as root finding, Newton-Cotes integration, and ordinary differential equations are included and presented in the context of physics problems. A few topics rarely seen ...

Betrayal at Little Gibraltar
"A painstakingly researched account of World War I's violent Meuse-Argonne Offensive and the 100-year-old cover-up at its center traces the efforts of AEF Commander-in-Chief John J. Pershing to capture the near-impregnable German Montfaucon and the inside betrayal that cost untold lives"--NoveList.
When Gay People Get Married
."..Badgett offers a rare look at how gay marriage is actually working, by taking readers to a land where it has been legal for same-sex couples to marry since 2001: the Netherlands. Through interviews with married gay couples we learn about the often surprising changes to their relationships, and the reactions of their families and work colleagues. Moreover, Badgett shows how the institution itself has been altered, exploring how the concept of marriage itself has changed in the United States and the Netherlands." "The evidence from around the world shows both that marriage changes gay people more than gay people change marriage and that it is the most liberal countries and states making the first moves to recognize gay couples. In the end, Badgett demonstrates that allowing gay couples to marry does not destroy the institution of marriage and that many gay couples do benefit, in expected as well as surprising ways, from the legal, social, and political rights that the institution offers."--From publisher description.
