How do you mend a broken heart? Hint--not by looking for love in all the wrong places. Jason Harrison is in recovery mode after being massively dumped by the man he considered the love of his life. An empty apartment, no note, no messages and no calls leave him adrift, desolate and desperate for a shoulder to cry on. There are plenty of those around, but where's the man who can heal his broken heart?There's Matt, a bartender, an eager lover with a giant libido, and Joey, a cute and understanding cab driver. Plus, there are sundry elegant businessmen, all of them ready to show Jason a good time. But good-time Charlies are not what Jason craves.When he meets Noah, an old school friend, he appears to be a likely contender. He's hot and sweet--and just happens to be a male escort. Through him, Jason is drawn into that line of business and finds solace for a time in helping others get over their sexual insecurities.But is this what the future holds for Jason, or is it in the smile and the arms of ruggedly handsome David Farmer, a man who offers Jason love and stability?Jason is ready to accept David's offer, but a threat to disclose Jason's recent past might be the catalyst that destroys their happiness.

Introducing Quantum Theory

Introducing Quantum Theory

J.P. McEvoy; Oscar Zarate

Icon Books Ltd
2007
nidottu
Quantum theory confronts us with bizarre paradoxes which contradict the logic of classical physics. At the subatomic level, one particle seems to know what the others are doing, and according to Heisenberg's "uncertainty principle", there is a limit on how accurately nature can be observed. And yet the theory is amazingly accurate and widely applied, explaining all of chemistry and most of physics. Introducing Quantum Theory takes us on a step-by-step tour with the key figures, including Planck, Einstein, Bohr, Heisenberg and Schrodinger. Each contributed at least one crucial concept to the theory. The puzzle of the wave-particle duality is here, along with descriptions of the two questions raised against Bohr's "Copenhagen Interpretation" - the famous "dead and alive cat" and the EPR paradox. Both remain unresolved.

Introducing Stephen Hawking

Introducing Stephen Hawking

J.P. McEvoy

ICON BOOKS
2009
nidottu
'An ideal introduction [to Stephen Hawking]' - Independent 'Astonishingly comprehensive - clearer than Hawking himself' - Focus Stephen Hawking was a world-famous physicist with a cameo in The Simpsons on his CV, but outside of his academic field his work was little understood. To the public he was a tragic figure - a brilliant scientist and author of the 9 million-copy-selling A Brief History of Time, and yet spent the majority of his life confined to a wheelchair and almost completely paralysed. Hawking's major contribution to science was to integrate the two great theories of 20th-century physics: Einstein's General Theory of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. J.P. McEvoy and Oscar Zarate's brilliant graphic guide explores Hawking's life, the evolution of his work from his days as a student, and his breathtaking discoveries about where these fundamental laws break down or overlap, such as on the edge of a Black Hole or at the origin of the Universe itself.

Selected and New Poems

Selected and New Poems

J.P. Ward

Seren
2004
nidottu
This substantial book features poems from the five decades of John Powell Ward's career. It opens with early, uncollected pieces – some of which were experimental and concrete – moves on to the traditionally styled poems of the 70s and 80s and then towards a late flowering in the 90s, which features a startling shift in style and a new focus on letters and the alphabet. His wider concerns: history, the human peril to the natural world, tragic public events (such as the King's Cross Fire), are played out across a formal grid of beautiful complexity. These strikingly original, ambitious poems are both profoundly moving and technically adroit. This volume offers the reader a wide selection from the author's six published books, along with several new poems."In no other time but our own, perhaps, would a poet feel obliged to wrap up his moralizing in such delicate phraseology, or make such a backdoor affair of his faith. Ward, however, manages brilliantly, combining an uncompromising integrity with a contemporary flair for understatement... One is left with the impression of having been told the truth cleanly and with warmth." The Times Literary Supplement"A major contribution to late twentieth century poetry."Bulletin of the Welsh AcademyJohn Powell Ward was born in Suffolk and educated at the Universities of Toronto, Cambridge and Wales. Editor of Poetry Wales from 1975 to 1980, he is the author of critical works on Wordsworth and R.S. Thomas among others, and editor of the Border Lines series. He has also published several volumes of poetry.

The Campaign in Alsace 1870 presents an excellent military history of two important battles during the opening rounds of the Franco-Prussian war in 1870. On 4 August 1870, General Abel Douay's French division was surprised and virtually destroyed by Bavarian and Prussian troops at Wissembourg. Two days later, at one of the decisive battles of the war, McMahon's I Corps was heavily defeated by the Germans at the Battle of Worth. This defeat caused the irreparable splitting of the French Imperial Army, which was to have fatal consequences for Napoleon III. The author offers an incisive and well-organised account of these two important actions. Full orders of battle are included for both French and German forces, with a number of maps tracing the action from beginning to end. About the Author J.P. Du Cane has spent many years researching the Franco-Prussian wars. This is Du Cane’s first book on the subject.

Faces of Pilot Mountain

Faces of Pilot Mountain

The 1.6 billion year old Pilot Mountain appears like a sailing ship on the ocean in the Piedmont of North Carolina. This landmark has been dubbed the "great guide." From the top of the Big Pinnacle at Pilot Mountain State Park you can see an unobstructed view of three thousand square miles. It was an important smoke signal location during the day and fire beacon at night for the twelve Native American tribes of North Carolina known to traverse the region.This recognized Natural National Landmark has been called a Natural Curiosity.Things you will learn and view with both modern and historic images in this book: You will take a fascinating private guided tour of the mountain with the grandchildren of the last owner of the mountain, Pearle Beasley, for the entire first chapter of the book. There is enough information in this first chapter to give your own family and friends an informed tour of the mountain that was known as Mount Pilot on the Andy Griffith Show.Pilot Mountain State Park features a pyramid from one perspective that is roughly three times the size of the Great Pyramid in Giza. It might be the only pyramid on earth where you can drive your car most of the way to the top. Walking the trails you see the view of the 99% pure crystal top made of quartzite. You can actually put your hands on the truncated apex of the pyramid at Pilot Mountain State Park.Stone faces are found on nearly all the trails of Pilot Mountain State Park. Some can only be seen from nearly a mile away because they are so large. The unique geology makes it difficult to tell if the stone faces are natural or man-made? Is it the Mt. Rushmore of the Native American Mound Culture that descriptively called it Stonehead Mountain in oral history and on the first detailed map by Fry and Jefferson?There is an interesting phenomena that happens at sunset on the equinox that reminds the viewer of the stairway shadow of Chichen Itza in the Yucatan.Journals written within a dozen miles of the mountain since 1753 were published in German and are now available in English. They describe the Pilot Mountain State Park neighborhood well. The second chapter is mainly from the Moravian perspective.The interesting lives and unique stories of the previous private owners of Pilot Mountain are featured in the book.Do you know the card game, "Seven Up"? That game plays an important role in the history of Pilot Mountain State ParkIf you are one of the travelers who have gone by this amazing landmark your entire life wondering about it with each pass on U.S. Route 52, this book is for you. These pages will help orient you and point out amazing features to look for on your first visit. You will appreciate the spiritual beauty and ancestry of this beloved North Carolina landmark. Begin your journey into the deep mysteries by reading the book and then visiting Pilot Mountain State Park in person.
