Differential Geometry and Relativity Theory: An Introduction (Monographs and Textbooks in Pure and Applied Mathematics #76)

<p>Differential Geometry and Relativity Theory: An Introduction approaches relativity asa geometric theory of space and time in which gravity is a manifestation of space-time curvature, rather than a force. Uniting differential geometry and both special and general relativity in a single source, this easy-to-understand text opens the general theory of relativity to mathematics majors having a background only in multivariable calculus and linear algebra. The book offers a broad overview of the physical foundations and mathematical details of relativity, and presents concrete physical interpretations of numerous abstract concepts in Riemannian geometry. <p>The work is profusely illustrated with diagrams aiding in the understanding of proofs and explanations. Appendices feature important material on vector analysis and hyperbolic functions. <p>Differential Geometry and Relativity Theory: An Introduction serves as the ideal text for high-level undergraduate courses in mathematics and physics, and includes a solutions manual augmenting classroom study. It is an invaluable reference for mathematicians interested in differential and Riemannian geometry, or the special and general theories of relativity.</p>

The Peaceable Kingdom: A Primer in Christian Ethics

While this book is meant to be a primer or introduction to Christian ethics which I hope can be used both in introductory courses in college and by adult study groups, I am not providing a survey of what various ethicists think on current issues in the field. Nor will I offer any extensive analysis of past and current figures in Christian ethics. Instead this book is an introduction in the sense that it attempts to present one straightforward account of a Christian ethic.

Dracula (A Stepping Stone Book(TM))

Since its publication in 1897, Dracula has enthralled generation after generation of readers with the same spellbinding power with which Count Dracula enthralls his victims. Though Bram Stoker did not invent vampires, and in fact based his character's life-in-death on extensive research in European folklore, his novel elevated the nocturnal creature to iconic stature, spawning a genre of stories and movies that flourishes to this day. But a century of imitations has done nothing to diminish the power of Stoker's tale. As his chilling, suave monster stalks his prey from a crumbling castle in the Carpathian Mountains of Transylvania to an insane asylum in England to the bedrooms of his swooning female victims, the drama is infused with a more and more exquisite measure of sensuality and suspense.Dracula is a classic of Gothic horror, an undying wellspring of modern mythology, and an irresistible entertainment.From the Hardcover edition.

The Glorious Cause: The American Revolution, 1763-1789 (Oxford History Of The United States Ser. #Vol. Iii)

The first book to appear in the illustrious Oxford History of the United States, this critically acclaimed volume offers an unsurpassed history of the Revolutionary War and the birth of the American republic. Beginning with the French and Indian War and continuing to the election of George Washington as first president, Robert Middlekauff offers a panoramic history of the conflict between England and America, highlighting the drama and anguish of the colonial struggle for independence. Combining the political and the personal, he provides a compelling account of the key events that precipitated the war, from the Stamp Act to the Tea Act, tracing the gradual gathering of American resistance that culminated in the Boston Tea Party and "the shot heard 'round the world." The heart of the book features a vivid description of the eight-year-long war, with gripping accounts of battles and campaigns, ranging from Bunker Hill and Washington's crossing of the Delaware to the brilliant victory at Hannah's Cowpens and the final triumph at Yorktown, paying particular attention to what made men fight in these bloody encounters. The book concludes with an insightful look at the making of the Constitution in the Philadelphia Convention of 1787 and the struggle over ratification. Through it all, Middlekauff gives the reader a vivid sense of how the colonists saw these events and the importance they gave to them. Common soldiers and great generals, Sons of Liberty and African slaves, town committee-men and representatives in congress--all receive their due. And there are particularly insightful portraits of such figures as Sam and John Adams, James Otis, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and many others.

This collection of significant documents in American history now goes from Lincoln's Proclamation on the Wade-Davis Bill on July 8, 1864, to Reagan's Address on Arms Control Negotiations on November 18, 1981.
