This reader-friendly book presents the fundamental principles of physics in a clear and concise manner. Emphasizing conceptual understanding as the basis for mastering a variety of problem-solving tools, the book provides a wide range of relevant applications and illustrative examples.  Insight boxes and references to real-life applications. One-third of the Insight boxes are new to this edition, covering topics such as “More Broken Records: The Clap Skate,” “Space Explorations: Gravity Assists,” “Human Body Temperature,” “Electric Potential and Nerve Signal,” and more. The real-life applications cover topics such as nutrition labels, reaction time, transverse and longitudinal seismic waves, sky diving and terminal velocity, and more.  For anyone interested in Physics.

Steinbeck could have learned a lot from this book. Its stories bring us American history in living color (real people, in white, black, and red), from Oklahoma land runs of 1889-92 down through the Dust Bowl, World War Two, Viet Nam, and the invasion of Iraq. We meet homesteaders, bootleggers, revival preachers, rich oil men and failing farmers, children of slaves working for freedom, a WW2 veteran who trades his phantom arm for a farm, a  dying WWII vet whose son peddles smart bombs that are killing Iraqi children. In the first story, we are there for the much-mourned death of a grandmother who homesteaded; in the last story, which brings us full circle, a man and woman make a new beginning, leaving behind her redneck husband to (as Huck Finn put it), set out for "The Territory." -Carter Revard, author of How the Songs Came Down, Winning the Dust Bowl, & Cowboys and Indians Christmas Shopping

"Like the Cimarron River itself, Jerry Wilson's novel teems with life and beauty and movement. Across the Cimarron bears you along on the currents of Time and Memory, and begs you to ponder one of the most fundamental questions of human existence: How deep is your claim to the earth?" --Brad McLelland, author of Bruisers Across the Cimarron is a fine, fine novel, that deserves a broad readership-of those interested in the history of the American West-and of lovers of powerfully engaging fiction. The narrative voice is generally spare and direct, with moments of great passion and deep feeling. The story is mainly one of hardship and struggle, interspersed with scenes of neighborliness and developing community. What brings the story to life is the beautiful, effective use of historical and geographical detail-and language. Wilson's deep knowledge of the story he is telling is evident on every page, as when he describes the homesteaders who failed as having been "starved out." Like the great novels in the realist tradition whose ranks it deserves to join, Across the Cimarron displays a strong social conscience, especially with regard to the Cheyenne and Arapaho people on whose ancestral land the Land Run settlers made their lives-and the Black settlers, who almost immediately experienced discrimination and segregation that barred their children from the little log-framed school they had helped build. This is a gripping, compelling work of historical fiction. I loved it, and was sorry to see it end. --David Gross, Professor Emeritus of English, University of Oklahoma

Across the Cimarron

Genre Fiction

While bands such as Switchfoot and Jars of Clay are household names, the artists who paved the way for their success by first introducing modern rock to Christian music are all but forgotten by the very industry they created. Now, they are telling their story from the beginning to the present day, with additional updates bringing the content into 2019 from its original 2009 release. This book isn't about where are they now, but who are they now as with frank and sometimes shocking openness the ones who went before talk about their lives and times... a time that is not yet past.

An Introduction to Physical Science

Consistent with previous editions of An Introduction to Physical Science, the goal of the new Thirteenth edition is to stimulate students' interest in and gain knowledge of the physical sciences. Presenting content in such a way that students develop the critical reasoning and problem-solving skills that are needed in an ever-changing technological world, the authors emphasize fundamental concepts as they progress through the five divisions of physical sciences: physics, chemistry, astronomy, meteorology, and geology. Ideal for a non-science majors course, topics are treated both descriptively and quantitatively, providing instructors the flexibility to emphasize an approach that works best for their students.

This Laboratory Guide contains 55 experiments in the five major divisions of physical science: physics, chemistry, astronomy, geology, and meteorology. Each experiment includes an introduction, learning objectives, a list of apparatus, procedures for taking data, and questions. In addition, many experiments call for calculations and the plotting of graphs, and this guide provides space and graph paper for those purposes.

Lab Guide for Shipman/Wilson/Higgins' An Introduction to Physical Science, 13th

This market-leading manual for the first-year physics laboratory course offers a wide range of class-tested experiments designed specifically for use in small to mid-size lab programs. A series of integrated experiments emphasizes the use of computerized instrumentation and includes a set of "computer-assisted experiments" that allow you to gain experience with modern equipment. By analyzing data through two different methods, learners gain a greater understanding of the concepts behind the experiments. The Eighth Edition is updated with four new economical labs and thirty new Pre-Lab Demonstrations, designed to capture interest prior to the lab and requiring only widely available materials and items.
