One of the most imaginative mathematicians of the nineteenth century, Sir William Rowan Hamilton (1805-1865) changed the course of modern algebra with his discovery of quaternions in 1843. Although Hamilton's work was largely theoretical, his ideas came to have invaluable practical applications with the advent of quantum mechanics in the twentieth century. In this acclaimed biography, Thomas L. Hankins brings together the many aspects of Hamilton's life and work-from his significant contributions to mathematics, optics, and mechanics to his passion for metaphysics, poetry, and politics-fully portraying the brilliant man whose faith and idealism guided him in everything he did.

Smokey Joe and the General is a combination of my autobiography and a biography of my first boss John Elliott Wood. Wood was considered the best trainer in the Army. Wood gave me ever increasing responsibilities which resulted in me being promoted ahead of my contemporaries. Wood's examples of professionalism and character had a profound influence over my entire career. Rich with historical facts and fascinating photos, highlights of this exciting story include: Pre-World War Two Why attending the 1936 Olympics changed the course of my life World War Two My first assignment in the 41st Singing Engineers My experiences in Italy commanding Buffalo Soldiers of the 92nd Division Korea How I became General Douglas MacArthur's spokesman An account of how the Marine Corps was saved from extinction An inside look at the planning of the Inchon Invasion How dropping an air bridge rescued our troops at the Chosin Reservoir How 100,000 North Koreans were saved during the evacuation of Hungnam Vietnam The tale of resistance against equipping helicopters with weapons in Vietnam Detente My actions as military representative of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for the SALT II Treaty How Col. Wood's example of moral courage convinced me to retire in protest after the signing of the unequal and unverifiable SALT II Treaty Reagan Era Earning the Presidential Citizens Medal in which President Reagan cited me as one of the chief architects of "peace through strength." What People Have To Say About Smokey Joe & The General: "The remarkable General Edward Rowny has written the story his superior career entails. This is a wonderful account of service, intrigue, and military accomplishments of the highest degree. Page by page it takes the reader through a series of events that are in many senses spellbinding. A terrific read. Highly recommended. Television personality Larry King "General Ed Rowny knows about many things; especially selfless service, integrity, and leadership. Thus his rich, nuanced and modest memoir is at the same time a valuable treatise on principled leadership as learned from General John E. Wood, Rowny's long-time mentor. It is a great story, begun in days of the Old Army but with much to teach those serving today and tomorrow. "Lewis Sorley, author of Pulitzer Prize nominated "A Better War" "Smokey Joe and the General is no ordinary military memoir. It covers the story of an astonishingly varied career that includes service in the combat engineers, commander of an infantry division, pioneering in the new techniques of armed helicopters, and finally Military Representative to the SALT Treaty with the Russians. Throughout this odyssey the General never forgets his first boss and mentor, Colonel "Smokey Joe" Wood. Written informally with plenty of humor and wisdom, Ed Rowny's book is both fascinating and informative". John Eisenhower, son of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Brigadier General U.S. Army (ret.) & former Ambassador to Belgium. "A captivating book by a superb combat leader."- Hal Moore, . General, USA (Ret.), author of best-selling book: "We Were Soldiers Once and Young", (made into a movie). "This is a personal recollection of lessons General Rowny learned from his role model General Wood when serving in the Army. Written with passion, the book shows how inspiration leads to a better understanding of military duties, professional perfection and success. History is made by people of such a persisting vision." Radoslaw Sikorski, Minister of Foreign Affairs
We want the thousands of hours we will work over our lifetime to matter. But how do we know they're really significant? How do we go from being defined by what we do to having our work become an expression of who we are?There is not a quick fix but a progressive solution: it begins with surrendering our whole lives and then every moment of our lives to God. In The Spiritual Art of Business, "corporate mystic" Barry Rowan invites us to be transformed by God that he might transform the world through us as we begin to see our work as an extension of our faith. He says, "We don't derive meaning from our work; we bring meaning to our work." Relating his extensive past in high-ranking executive roles, Rowan beckons us into a connection with God that will infuse our lives, our offices, and our world with meaning.With forty short chapters, this is not just a book to be read but instead is an invitation into an experience with God. Here's an opportunity to ponder new perspectives and see business as a chance to serve God by contributing to a better society.
Psychiatrist and sex therapist Edward L. Rowan, M.D., has written this unique book to encourage us all to come out of the closet. Masturbation is surely one of the most common human activities, and yet most of us react to the subject with embarrassment. Americans are generally so uncomfortable with the topic that former Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders was fired for indiscreetly suggesting in public that high school kids masturbate as a way of avoiding HIV infection. Dr. Rowan points to the Elders incident as evidence that we are still victims of a negative cultural attitude spawned by the sin and sickness models of early Church fathers and medical practitioners who did not know any better. Unfortunately, they established a pattern of shame and guilt that is difficult to overcome in spite of our current knowledge. Although masturbation is now recognized as a therapeutic tool in addressing sexual dysfunction and problematic arousal patterns, Rowan argues that it can be much more. Good orgasms, whether alone or with a partner, provide a sense of well-being and personal autonomy. Relationships are better when one does not have to depend solely on a partner to make them whole. Masturbation is also the safest form of safe sex. While masturbation is a universal behavior, there are differences in motivation, frequency, technique, and fantasy patterns between men and women. Rowan discusses these differences while emphasizing that masturbation can be good sex and should be experienced for pleasure not just as a tension release. Our attitudes are due for a change, says Dr. Rowan, and The Joy of Self-Pleasuring is designed to promote that change while offering the reader information, insight, and humor as well.
We have now sunk to a depth where the restatement of the obvious is the duty of intelligent men. George Orwell's words are worth repeating as climate-warming alarmists promote doomsday scenarios that have no basis in science. L. Rowand Archer examines the lie of global warming-and the motivations for it-in this treatise that exposes the socialist agenda and fear mongering of the liberal left. Lost in the propaganda is the fact that man-made CO2 emissions have greened Earth, transforming some former desert regions into verdant oases of greenery, and contributing to record crop yields. Instead of demonizing CO2, we should be praising CO2 for helping to feed the world. Because weather is familiar to all, it seems that everyone has a theory about what causes climate change, and that makes it difficult to argue rationally about the real science behind climate change. This book is intended to provide a nontechnical understanding of climate skepticism as argued by over 300 knowledgeable authors in their fields who question the notion that humankind is the major influence of climate change.
