This book is the first to describe a very successful objective unified field theory which emerged in 2003 and which is already mainstream physics - Einstein Cartan Evans (ECE) field theory. The latter completes the well known work of Einstein and Cartan, who from 1925 to 1955 sought to unify field theory in physics with the principles of general relativity. These principles are based on the need for objectivity in natural philosophy, were first suggested by Francis Bacon in the sixteenth century and developed into general relativity in about 1915. In this year, using Riemann geometry, Einstein and Hilbert independently arrived at an objective field equation for gravitation. Since then there have been many attempts to unify the 1915 gravitational theory with the other three fundamental fields: electromagnetism, the weak and strong fields. As described for the first time in this book, unification is achieved straightforwardly with the principles of standard Cartan geometry and the Evans Ansatz. The latter shows that electromagnetism is spinning spacetime, gravitation is curving spacetime and that they are unified with the structure (or master) equations of Cartan. Quantum mechanics is unified with general relativity using the Evans Lemma and wave equation. Technical appendices and charts are provided which show how all the major equations of physics are obtained from the ECE field theory, and two introductory chapers describe the background mathematics from an elementary level. The mathematical structure of ECE field theory is standard Cartan geometry, also known as differential geometry. The main topics of contemporary physics are covered in individual chapters, which also describe the conditions under which ECE theory reduces to Einstein Hilbert (EH) theory, and to Maxwell Heaviside field theory in classical electrodynamics. The Dirac equation is derived as a limit of the wave equation of ECE theory. The Schrodinger and Newton equations then follow as limits of the Dirac equation. It is therefore shown that ECE field theory provides, for the first time, a structure for the objective unification of field theory in natural philosophy.

In this third volume,ECE theory is extended to the Sagnac effect and Faraday disc generator to show that electrodynamics is spinning space-time in general relativity.These two effects are difficult to explain with special relativity.A simplified dielectric ECE theory is developed and applied for example to cosmology.One chapter is dedicated to a convenient summary of all the details of Cartan geometry needed to develop ECE theory.The important topic of spin connection resonance (SCR)is introduced and applied to new energy and counter-gravitation.Finally wave mechanics is developed in ECE theory.

Wars are now mediated in unprecedented ways and through a variety of communicative forms. Correspondingly, there is an increasing awareness among those involved in war of the need to gauge and manage what is communicated. Communicating War: Media, Memory and Military contextualises these developments by locating the emergence of recent wars and terrorist activity in a wider frame of global socio-political change, highlighting the social, political and historical aspects of 'communicating war'. This includes: . the remembering and forgetting of wars through cultures of collective memory and media selectivity; . the organization, practice and culture of media institutions in the mediation of war information; . and the strategic use of information by military institutions and terrorist organizations in the execution of war and terrorist acts. Remaining sensitive to the complexities of conflict, the book moves beyond a focus on UK and US interventions and reflects upon the communication of war in relation to all forms of conflict, particularly terrorism and under reported civil conflicts. Adopting a multi-disciplinary approach, Communicating War: Memory, Media, Military will be of interest to students in journalism, media, war and peace studies, international relations and international politics. Contributors include practitioners from within the journalistic and military communities and international scholars from a broad range of social sciences: Stuart Allan, David Altheide, Chris Atton, Oliver Boyd-Barrett , Nico Carpentier, Neal Curtis, Richard Keeble, Andrew Hoskins, Makram Khoury-Machool, Sarah Maltby, Donald Matheson, Lara Pawson, Ron Schleifer, Martin Shaw, Angus Taverner, John Tulloch, Howard Tumber and Jeremy Tunstall. - REVIEWERS COMMENTS - "Few topics of media research affect us more personally, and emotionally, than how media represents war, and the military's partly hidden role in that process. Communicating War is a wide-ranging and important contribution to that debate, which also has the advantage of being right up-todate. Essential reading!" Nick Couldry, Professor of Media and Communications, Goldsmiths University of London "We live in an age where the relationship between war and communications media is more complex and more urgent than ever before. Communicating War is, therefore, to be welcomed. Its rich collection sets the agenda, as does the War and Media Network, from which it emerges. Crucially, the collection reminds us of that which is 'forgotten', which can be as important in the war-media relationship today as those things embedded in memory." James Gow, Professor of International Peace and Security, Kings College London "A timely and hugely valuable contribution to the scholarly literature on news about conflict and war. The range of contributors, and the variety of themes covered, make this collection essential reading for students and researchers of conflict reporting in the post-9/11 world." Brian McNair, Professor of Journalism and Communication, University of Strathclyde. "Communicating War is a timely collection of great diversity, bringing both historical depth and theoretical sophistication to a range of urgent contemporary debates about the media's role in war." Philip Hammond, Reader in Media and Communications, London South Bank University

"The Ideal and the Real should prove valuable to two particular sets of readers: (i) those with an interest in Kant and little or no background in the philosophy of mathematics, or (ii) those with an interest in the philosophy of mathematics and little or no background in Kant...The book contains much that is suggestive which should promote further discussion...(and) offers more than a simple examination of Kant's philosophy of mathematics. Of particular interest is his suggestion that Newton's thought experiments have been changed and idealized by commentators." R.R.Wojtowicz, (Canadian Philosophical Review) This book argues that Kant's theory of space, time and mathematics has contemporary significance principally because of its roots in the ideas of construction and schematism. These concepts are analysed in the light of the central Kantian distinction between the ideal and the empirically real. A reassessment of Newton's arguments for absolute space is followed by an examination of Leibniz's theory of space, time and continuity. The metaphysical frameworks of these theories are presented as essential precursors of Kant's critical programme. The ideas of construction and schematism illuminate all aspects of Kant's philosophy of mathematics, and have important implications for understanding both the task and the achievement of the critical philosophy. Through an analysis of these concepts, the role of intuition, and in particular the argument from incongruent counterparts, is given added significance. "While he intends The Ideal and the Real as a limited commentary on space, time, and mathematical construction, it also brings the reader into contact with a whole series of problems treated by Kant in the First Critique and the Prolegomena....While the discussion of Newton displays a sensitivity to the complexity of Newton's position, Winterbourne's own exposition develops clearly....(and) advances with such sensitivity both to primary and secondary sources that one could hardly find a better summary of the issues surrounding the Leibniz-Clarke controversy....The discussion of incongruent counterparts provides the most interesting part of the monograph....Winterbourne avoids technical jargon and obscure explanation in an admirable way...(and) gives us one of the best treatments of the Schematism available. Kantian scholars would do well to take note of Winterbourne's conclusions." John Treloar, (The Modern Schoolman) "One of the main strengths of Winterbourne's book is his treatment of Kant's philosophy of mathematics....and (it) offers an interesting overview of the ideas of Leibniz and Newton..." Grant West (Isis)

Einstein was Right! Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity are the two main theories of physics that describe the universe in which we live. Attempts at combining them have been made since the 1920's with no success. Albert Einstein spent much of his later years searching for the key to unification. He never fully accepted quantum theory and maintained it was incomplete. Quantum theory has supplied answers to questions involving basic particles and electromagnetism. Relativity has explained gravity and the unity of space and time. However, the two have not, until Evans developed a new paradigm and the equations to prove it, been combined. Einstein showed that gravitation is the curving of spacetime, not an attractive force between masses. Evans has showed that electromagnetism is the spinning of spacetime. It is not a force superimposed upon the spacetime rather it is a property of spacetime itself. Using Cartan differential geometry, Evans describes Einstein's gravitation and quantum electromagnetics in the same equations. All the basic equations of physics emerge from General Relativity using Cartan's geometry. This book describes the basics of special relativity, quantum mechanics, general relativity, and the geometry used to describe them. Then it details the basics of Evans' discoveries and their implications. Laurence G. Felker is a controls engineer and has studied physics for his whole professional career. His previous published work has been in technical journals and this is his first physics book.

Steven Berkoff was asked to direct Shakespeare's Richard II in New York early 1994. It was a project he found fascinating: performing an Elizabethan play within the scrapers of Manhattan and the still rotting slums of the Lower East Side, between the steaming breath oozing out from the cracked pipes and the brutality of modern New York speak. New York became the backdrop and the energy centre which charged him each day and fed his inspiration. This book offers a wonderful insight into the many characters, challenges and places that were integral to the project and details how gradually the production took form. Served by a first-rate company that worked incredibly hard, the achievement was a critically acclaimed production and the fulfilment of a personal goal to direct the Bard. NEW YORK POST This morning I have joy to report - so let the trumpets sound and the canons roar! Last night at the Anspacher Auditorium of the Joseph Papp Public Theater, there opened a production of The Tragedy of Richard II which can hold its own with the world's best in Shakespearean stagings. NEW YORK SUNDAY TIMES The Tragedy of Richard II now being given an exceptionally stylish production by Steven Berkoff. Mr Berkoff's production, which, among many virtues, is so well and clearly spoken and so clean of dramatic line that it's accessible from start to finish... THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER NEW YORK - They'll be talking about this Richard II for years.

This book examines the Christian thinking expressed in monastic gardens in the mediaeval period and specific types of monastic garden and the plants contained therein. It follows with an account of known gardens and what became of them. The book concludes with reflections on the lessons that modern times can take from the monks. Francis Beswick is a semi-retired schoolteacher and is a writer on Religious Studies. He has passionate interests in Religious Studies, History and gardening, so this book grew out of these interests. He is deeply concerned about the environment and believes that the way to save the Earth from ruin is for people to address the spiritual faults that give rise to materialism. He is married with four children, one of whom is still at home.
