This book illustrates through five examples how certain square roots, which initially seemed impossible or meaningless, have been achieved. In each case the achievement has opened up a whole new vista of mathematics or physics. In each case our understanding and our intellectual power has been dramatically increased as a result. This is a maths book, a book about maths, and also in its later parts a physics book. But, undoubtedly because I am...

All "Western" societies have become deeply divided, and the divisions have become ever more acrimonious. The reason is that the differences of opinion stem from differences of moral perspective. Where existing works fall short is in explaining why and how this dichotomous morality has arisen, a question which is related to who benefits from it. One of the purposes of this book is to address that question: why has a radically different view ...

As with all his books, J.C. Ryle writes nothing complicated, yet with his deep insight he makes everything about the gospels very clear. J.C. Ryle's extraordinary ability in making seemingly old ideas be felt as when they were realized the first time in our old days makes many readers claim this work to be the best book on Christian life. Since he is strongly against nominal faith, throughout his aptly titled book he discusses the real practic...

One of J.C. Ryle's main works 'Thoughts For Young Men' was first published in 1865. This book's legacy has endured for more than 150 years because Christian readers still find it relevant and helpful for its profound practical wisdom. In this book, J.C. Ryle offers heartfelt and practical advice about the temptations that plague most young men such as sloth, lust and love of pleasures, and peer pressure. Any Christian readers in their youth, a...

J.C. Ryle's best-known book, "Holiness" is considered by many the best book ever written on Christian life. Throughout its 21 chapters, the reader will not find difficulties in reading and understanding, but the challenges he's giving to the reader are in a direct and clear way to follow Christ with true faith. He states 'real practical holiness does not receive the attention it deserves', which is his essential teaching in this book he delive...

A thorough, clear, and concise style characterized many Puritan works, and Watson's The Ten Commandments is no exception. Watson very sensibly divides his commentary into four sections: first, he discusses themes central to the Decalogue, second, he examines each commandment one by one, third, he explores the relationship between God's law and sin, and finally, he shows his readers the way of salvation, enabled by Christ through faith and the ...

What is leadership? There are probably as many definitions of leadership as there are different types of trout flies. And each definition tends to be fit for the specific situation and context a leader is facing. The same is true for which fly to use. It depends on the condition of the water, the weather, the time of year, the temperature, and various other factors. No one leadership approach fits every situation, just as there is no one fly f...

The Bruised Reed is far from a scholarly treatise. It was originally published as 'Some Sermons contracted out of the 12 of Matthew 20.' It was not written in the heat of academic debate, but in the heat of pastoral concern, as the title page continues: 'At the desire, and for the good of weaker Christians.' But Sibbes writes armed with more than just a pastor's concern. He writes with a physician's skill, for he knows the true cause of his re...

The Nature of True Virtue, which has survived about three centuries, is considered by many as the work which has greatly contributed to the Christian theology. As for this work, Tim Keller once praised the great value of this book as one of the most profound treatises on social ethics ever written. And, it is extensively studied by many modern theologians such as John Piper who credited the work with awakening in him a "deep longing to be a go...

Watson's devotional answers the many who ask, "Why do bad things happen to good people?" The author meditates on this passage from Romans 8: "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." As the passage implies, Watson reminds his readers that while the godly may face harm, God uses that harm for their ultimate benefit according to his purposes. Even hardship and...

This is not another quantum mechanics text on conventional lines. Most topics covered in undergraduate quantum physics courses are notable for their absence. Instead this book concentrates upon understanding the intriguing conceptual issues raised by quantum mechanics. It is neither a book for experts nor a "popular physics" book. It is intended for the serious student, but at undergraduate or early postgraduate level. The aim is to demystify ...
