Circle Routes (Akron Series in Poetry)
(Circle Routes contains a recurring joyfulness that invite...)
Circle Routes contains a recurring joyfulness that invites us into those brightest of spaces: memory and meditation. The poet s feelings are sometimes sharp with deliberate and thoughtful sarcasm; they can also soar with lyrical sweetness. John Minczeski has a penchant for winged things---not only planes but mayflies, bats, as well as the engagements of the human heart. Even the simple niris that starts life / as boxing gloves and ends with the smell / of bridesmaids becomes, in his attentive poem, an object of weightlessness and wonder. Minczeski takes on many concerns: the personal past, history and its unsettlements, natural history, some poets that read like travel pieces though certainly they are about inner space as much as outer space. Circle Routes is a fine, sweet-spirited, ambitious, beautifully accomplished book.

GAUGE FIELDS, KNOTS AND GRAVITY (Series on Knots and Everything)
(This is an introduction to the basic tools of mathematics...)
This is an introduction to the basic tools of mathematics needed to understand the relation between knot theory and quantum gravity. The book begins with a rapid course on manifolds and differential forms, emphasizing how these provide a proper language for formulating Maxwell's equations on arbitrary spacetimes. The authors then introduce vector bundles, connections and curvature in order to generalize Maxwell theory to the Yang-Mills equations. The relation of gauge theory to the newly discovered knot invariants such as the Jones polynomial is sketched. Riemannian geometry is then introduced in order to describe Einstein's equations of general relativity and show how an attempt to quantize gravity leads to interesting applications of knot theory.

(When a disease ravages the population in a not too distan...)
When a disease ravages the population in a not too distant future, a group of scientists decide to break the law and travel back in time to try and fix the problem in an unusual way. But a Vietnam veteran refuses to cooperate with the time travelers plan.

A Journey into Gravity and Spacetime (Scientific American Library)
( Gravity is not a force acting at a distance. It is mass...)
Gravity is not a force acting at a distance. It is mass gripping spacetime, telling it how to curve, and spacetime gripping mass, telling it how to move. According to preeminent physicist John Archibald Wheeler, gravity makes the closest connection between the world we see around us and the inner-most workings of the universe. In this imaginative volume, Wheeler explores gravity and spacetime by applying Einstein's battle-tested theory to both familiar and exotic phomomena--everything from flying tennis balls, to hurling gravity waves from crashing stars, the motion of the planets, and the collapse of a star into a black hole. It's a provocative, revealing, fully engaging scientific journey led by a frontline participant in the most important work in physics in the last 50 years.
