Introductory Physics is the ideal text for a non-vector-based physics course. Full of rich, intelligent graphics, lucid prose and well-integrated discussions of the history of science, mathematics, and the role of faith in scientific investigation, this book is the first of its kind. This book was designed for grade-level freshmen, but it is also suitable for physics in the sophomore or junior year. In fact, optional chapters are added for the benefit of schools where physics occurs in 10th or 11th grade and students can move more quickly through the material. Mathematical problems are rigorous and challenging, but only assume that students are taking Algebra I concurrently. The text is not suitable for an upper-level vector/trig physics course, but NSM plans to publish a vector-based text to be ready for Fall 2015. One implementation strategy for schools is to use Introductory Physics for the grade-level science course, while steering honors-level students into an accelerated student track using our book Accelerated Studies in Physics and Chemistry (with accelerated science placement tied to accelerated placement in mathematics). Alternatively, the book may serve as the science text for all students in either eighth or ninth grade, depending on the preparation of the students in the school. As an aside, the “physics first” approach of placing physics in the 9th grade is a programing strategy that Novare Science and Math recommends because of the preparatory benefits that physics has for the other sciences. Energy, work, heat transfer, the atomic model, for example, are concepts that the student will already have learned when a she or he enters chemistry or biology. Such a program lends itself especially well to a mastery-based science curriculum as concepts learned earlier are rehearsed and reinforced in the later courses. As with all NSM texts, Introductory Physics is written from the perspective of the historic Christian faith. Each chapter exercise and calculation problem is carefully designed to effect real science learning and assimilation. Resource materials support a mastery-oriented pedagogy. The history of science is placed front and center, not in a sidebar when it can be ignored. Student instructions for five complete laboratory experiments are included in the appendix

A Solutions Manual to accompany Principles of Chemistry. Principles of Chemistry uses a mastery-learning paradigm designed to bring students to a excellent grasp of concepts and skills. The author’s conversational style is a favorite with students, and combined with a special skill for lucidity and detail, this text is what has been sorely missing from education. Students also appreciate the smaller profile and lighter weight of our books—something everyone notices immediately. This is possible because of the text covers an amount that can reasonably be covered in one year, rather than being stuffed with unnecessary chapters. The history of modern chemistry, mathematics and technical communication is emphasized throughout to effect the integration of chemistry with other subjects. Integration preserves a course from feeling compartmentalized and not relevant to other subjects. That’s certainly not how the real world is. Real chemists use math and writing skills, and their field is greatly enhanced by their knowledge of the lineage of great scientists upon whose shoulders they stand. All Centripetal Press texts are rigorously reviewed and vetted by professional scientists. The mission of Centripetal Press is to transform the way science and math are taught by producing materials and advocating teaching methods based on the core principles of Mastery and Integration, and by fostering the natural Wonder of scientific study.

ASPC is an ideal first science course designed for honors-level or accelerated high school students. It can be used for other high school grade science as well.Teachers may be familiar with IPC courses (integrated physics and chemistry). ASPC is similar but goes deeper into topics so that students get a more enduring introduction. ASPC also moves along a little faster than our other physics offering, Introductory Physics.This accelerated text is for students who love science, are motivated, and are quick on the uptake. Typically, these are students who at least took Algebra I in the 8th grade. They also are organized and know how to study. They also will read the text.As with all Centripetal Press curriculum, ASPC is a "mastery-oriented" text. Mastery learning means different things to different people. To us, it means a series methods and strategies that dramatically improve student retention of content. And Centripetal curriculum has a proven history of accomplishing this.For a full explanation of mastery methods and a philosophy of science education that will transform your school or home learning context, read our forthcoming book From Wonder to Mastery. In short, mastery learning begins with cumulative weekly quizzes (available on the Resource CD for this book). Next, the text is designed to require students to utilize skills and rehearse concepts throughout the school year so that they become a permanent part of the student's knowledge. This is explained further in the introduction.Some of the skills students will learn permanently include unit conversions, scientific notation, significant digits, metric prefixes and more. They will also learn measurement and lab experiment stills through the 6 lab experiments for this text, which can be explored in the book Experiments for Introductory Physics and ASPC.ASPC challenges students to write and speak scientific information accurately and succinctly in their lab reports and chapter exercises. No multiple choice here. As in the real world, exercises and quiz questions consist of either calculation problems or short answer. This course consists of roughly 70% physics and 30% chemistry (see the Table of Contents by clicking the button on this page for more information). As described on our article Sequencing the Secondary Science and Math Curriculum, we recommend the "physics first" approach to high school science because of the great advantages it offers over the standard biology-chemistry-physics sequence. Energy, work, Newton's Laws of Motion, substances, electrical circuits, the atomic model, the periodic table, atomic bonding, and other subjects can be closely investigated with Algebra I proficiency.

"Mays's passion for art electrifies fascinating sketches of Beuys." -Quill and Quire A brooding fugitive hides out in a crumbling hotel that was once filled with celebrities enjoying the successes of postwar America. He is a racist with a criminal past, an anti-hero who reflects on the ruins of the South and simultaneously on the life of a German performance artist called "Jupp". The fictional Jupp is a thinly-veiled cipher for the late real-life German artist, Joseph Beuys, and the photos in the novel are photos of the performances by the controversial Beuys. At once echoing the moody worlds of W. G. Sebald and incorporating outrageous elements of pulp fiction, this novel of dark romanticism is not for optimists seeking redemption, but for those willing to take a look into a searing heart of darkness.
