This innovative new text presents quantum mechanics in a manner that directly reflects the methods used in modern physics research—making the material more approachable and preparing students more thoroughly for real research. Most texts in this area start with a bit of history and then move directly to wave-particle problems with accompanying heavy mathematical analysis; Quantum Mechanics provides a foundation in experimental phenomena and uses a more approachable, less intimidating, more powerful mathematical matrix model. Beginning with the Stern-Gerlach experiments and the discussion of spin measurements, and using bra-ket notation, the authors introduce an important notational system that is used throughout quantum mechanics. This non-traditional presentation is designed to enhance students’ understanding and strengthen their intuitive grasp of the subject.

The sudden demise of arguably the world's greatest empire in the years following the Second World War was a momentous event in global history. After nearly four centuries of colonial activity, the British relinquished their empire in a little more than twenty years. In this comprehensive new survey, David McIntyre narrates the sequence of decolonisation, summarises the historical controversies surrounding its causes, and considers what was distinctive about the way events unfolded. The author argues that although colonial self-government had a long pedigree going back to the American colonies (and Dominion status had become a peaceful evolutionary route to independence), the upsurge of colonial nationalisms after 1945 meant that policy-makers were overtaken by events. The great speed at which the numerous dependencies in Asia, Africa, the Caribbean and Pacific were relinquished is analysed and the Commonwealth since decolonisation reconsidered, revealing an association displaying surprising vigour in its post-Britannic years.

EMILE GAUGUIN’S TALE (SOLDIER OF FORTUNE, CEO OF AN ELECTRIC COMPANY, AND HOMELESS VAGRANT) HAS A HAPPY ENDING: THAT IS WHEN HE MET COAUTHOR FRANK. What they are saying:“Will prove to be one of the most comprehensive accounts of the Gauguin family.” Michelle, Gauguin specialist and book author.“Loved reading this … the story, the flow.” Jonas Gauguin, great-grandson.“Information-packed … fascinating.” Englewood Sun.“Amazing book.” Jacob Gauguin, great-grandson.“Well researched, engaging.” Joseph Diamond, (federal attorney).“A little gem.” Thomas Sullivan, best-selling author.“They upset the apple cart.” Philippe Gauguin, grandson, talking about the family’s preconceived opinion.”Ambitious work is an excellent resource.” S. Madiq, website designerEmile Gauguin repeatedly told his cousin, Maria Elena, he was a failure. A famous father was the cause. He just could never measure up.Still he remained a proud, engineer-adventurer-warrior leading rebel combatants, cheating death in the northern Andes, constantly searching for work on three continents, continually facing financial collapse, fighting off hunger as a homeless transient in the American Great Depression, having to deal with three colossal marital breakups and reconciliations.And yet, suddenly, at his life’s darkest hour, most likely suicidal, when he wrote his cousin, detailing page-after-page his pathetic existence … almost as a miracle … his life two thirds over … changed to one of happiness and peace."Loved reading this ... the story, the flow." Jonas Gauguin, great-grandson.

Private or secret prayer is the life-blood of the Christian. The great men and women of God down through the ages have testified to the effectiveness of this in their lives. Some like Martin Luther, have said that they could not survive a busy day without spending 2-3 hours alone with God. Drawing on the experiences of people like Luther, Spurgeon, Muller, Whitefield and Wesley, the author presses the case for a greater commitment to prayer. His advice may not only transform your life, it could be a catalyst towards a change in the world around you.
