John Morris

The classic work from the president of the prestigious Institute for Creation Research, this book details, in layman's terms, how we can have confidence in the plain-sense meaning of early Genesis. Morris studies geology, culture, and various creation theories to give a true picture of Earth history. Explodes popular misconceptions about the age of the earth by exposing the shaky reasoning behind radiometric dating; Morris's discussion of these fallacies alone is worth the price of the book. Helps readers understand that fossils are dated to vast ages by calculating that the soil they are found is is millions of years old--a startling "trade secret" among evolutionists. Includes a CD for PowerPoint presentations.

Written in the author's typically charming and self-effacing style, this book offers readers a fascinating insight into Japan and Japanese life at the eve of its fateful entry into the Second World War. The author tells of his struggle to teach English in a Japanese university, as well as his daily encounters with Japanese institutions and customs. Never dry or pedantic, the work is a balanced and intriguing portrait of political and social life in 1940s Japan.

A lifetime's scholarship enabled John Morris to recreate a past hitherto hidden in myth and mystery. He describes the Arthurian Age as 'the starting point of future British history', for it saw the transition from Roman Britain to Great Britain, the establishment of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales from the collapse of the Pax Romana. In exploring political, social, economic, religious and cultural history from the fourth to the seventh century, his theme is one of continuity. That continuity is embodied in Arthur himself: 'in name he was the last Roman Emperor, but he ruled as the first medieval king.'

This book provides a sound introduction to basic electronic concepts in a lively and practical format. It effectively meets the needs of both the electronics option of the advanced GNVQ in engineering and the BTEC National certificate in electronics and includes hands-on practical investigations and self-test questions which will appeal to a wide range of readers. Applied Electronics employs user-friendly text and a non-mathematical approach to develop the reader's ability and understanding of the principles of analogue and digital electronics. Beginning with the semiconductor devices themselves, it progresses through amplifiers and power supplies to combinational and sequential logic.

The author of this classic work took a "campaign" approach to Edward I's methodical reduction of Welsh independence, achieved through many years of building strategic castles, conducting "scorched earth" sweeps, and establishing loyal local nobles.
