I Will Love You, Forever! --The Quantum Mechanics of Love

By: James H. Williams, Jr.

In this memoir for the ages, the internationally renowned MIT professor James H. Williams, Jr. poses the breathtaking question What happens to the love between two people when they die?" To answer his question, he explores four very different loving relationships with four very different females and plumbs the depths of modern cosmology and physics. Via lovions quantum packets of love Professor Williams concludes that mutually intense love can indeed be eternal. Advance Praise (Short Version) ]a beautifully written memoir] ]powerful and creative] ]A brilliantly thought-provoking masterwork. Advance Praise (Extended Version) When so much writing about love is cheap or superficial, it is a great and overdue pleasure to have this book by James H. Williams, Jr. Though his book is startling and exciting in its implications and clearly written from the heart, Professor Williams has also trained his powerful intellect and impressive scientific training on the vexed issue of love's essence and its sources to argue plausibly and scientifically! that love is eternal. I have never read a book like this before. It is truly one-of-a-kind, but the magic of the book is to leave you feeling more powerfully bound to those you love. If you have ever loved anyone deeply, you will not forget this book. A brilliantly thought-provoking masterwork. Andrew Szanton, coauthor of Have No Fear, the acclaimed memoir of civil rights leader Charles Evers This is a beautifully written memoir by an esteemed engineering professor at MIT that offers a fascinating, plausible and accessible scientific explanation of a subject that for thousands of years has been deemed the province not of science but of the arts love. To do so, he examines the rich relationships he shares with four women and then uses his unique perspective and impressive education to bridge the gap between philosophy and science. In doing so, he suggests a surprising explanation for some of the greatest mysteries of the universe and answers one of the most perplexing questions of all: What is love? Mitchell Zuckoff, Professor of Journalism, Boston University, and author of Ponzis Scheme (and the forthcoming Robert Altman: An Oral Biography) This book is powerful and creative, exploring aspects of the human condition that require courage and sensitivity rolled into one. Professor Williamss vast and eclectic talents make such an exploration possible for readers whose minds will be stretched. Intrafamilial love is complicated and complex, yet Professor Williams has taken our understanding to a new plateau. D. H. Lawrence dealt with similar themes in his Sons and Lovers, but not as adeptly or artfully in my estimation. Kenneth R. Manning, Thomas Meloy Professor of Rhetoric and the History of Science, MIT, and author of Black Apollo of Science: the Life of Ernest Everett Just

Fundamentals of Applied Dynamics

By: James H. Williams, Jr.

An introductory engineering textbook by an award-winning MIT professor that covers the history of dynamics and the dynamical analyses of mechanical, electrical, and electromechanical systems. This introductory textbook offers a distinctive blend of the modern and the historical, seeking to encourage an appreciation for the history of dynamics while also presenting a framework for future learning. The text presents engineering mechanics as a unified field, emphasizing dynamics but integrating topics from other disciplines, including design and the humanities. The book begins with a history of mechanics, suitable for an undergraduate overview. Subsequent chapters cover such topics as three-dimensional kinematics; the direct approach, also known as vectorial mechanics or the momentum approach; the indirect approach, also called lagrangian dynamics or variational dynamics; an expansion of the momentum and lagrangian formulations to extended bodies; lumped-parameter electrical and electromagnetic devices; and equations of motion for one-dimensional continuum models. The book is noteworthy in covering both lagrangian dynamics and vibration analysis. The principles covered are relatively few and easy to articulate; the examples are rich and broad. Summary tables, often in the form of flowcharts, appear throughout. End-of-chapter problems begin at an elementary level and become increasingly difficult. Appendixes provide theoretical and mathematical support for the main text.

Wave Propagation

An Introduction to Engineering Analyses

By: James H. Williams, Jr.

An engineering-oriented introduction to wave propagation by an award-winning MIT professor, with highly accessible expositions and mathematical details—many classical but others not heretofore published. A wave is a traveling disturbance or oscillation—intentional or unintentional—that usually transfers energy without a net displacement of the medium in which the energy travels. Wave propagation is any of the means by which a wave travels. This book offers an engineering-oriented introduction to wave propagation that focuses on wave propagation in one-dimensional models that are anchored by the classical wave equation. The text is written in a style that is highly accessible to undergraduates, featuring extended and repetitive expositions and displaying and explaining mathematical and physical details—many classical but others not heretofore published. The formulations are devised to provide analytical foundations for studying more advanced topics of wave propagation. After a precalculus summary of rudimentary wave propagation and an introduction of the classical wave equation, the book presents solutions for the models of systems that are dimensionally infinite, semi-infinite, and finite. Chapters typically begin with a vignette based on some aspect of wave propagation, drawing on a diverse range of topics. The book provides more than two hundred end-of-chapter problems (supplying answers to most problems requiring a numerical result or brief analytical expression). Appendixes cover equations of motion for strings, rods, and circular shafts; shear beams; and electric transmission lines.

The Challenges of Roger Williams

Religious Liberty, Violent Persecution, and the Bible

By: James P. Byrd

Among those banished was Roger Williams, the advocate of religious liberty who also founded the colony of Rhode Island and established the first Baptist church in America. Williams opposed the Puritans' use of the Bible to persecute radicals who rejected the state's established religion. In retaliation against the use of scripture for violent purposes, Williams argued that religious liberty was a biblical concept that offered the only means of eliminating the religious wars and persecutions that plagued the seventeenth century.

A New History of Kentucky

By: James C. Klotter,Craig Thompson Friend

When originally published, A New History of Kentucky provided a comprehensive study of the Commonwealth, bringing it to life by revealing the many faces, deep traditions, and historical milestones of the state. With new discoveries and findings, the narrative continues to evolve, and so does the telling of Kentucky's rich history. In this second edition, authors James C. Klotter and Craig Thompson Friend provide significantly revised content with updated material on gender politics, African American history, and cultural history. This wide-ranging volume includes a full overview of the state and its economic, educational, environmental, racial, and religious histories. At its essence, Kentucky's story is about its people -- not just the notable and prominent figures but also lesser-known and sometimes overlooked personalities. The human spirit unfolds through the lives of individuals such as Shawnee peace chief Nonhelema Hokolesqua and suffrage leader Madge Breckinridge, early land promoter John Filson, author Wendell Berry, and Iwo Jima flag--raiser Private Franklin Sousley. They lived on a landscape defined by its topography as much as its political boundaries, from Appalachia in the east to the Jackson Purchase in the west, and from the Walker Line that forms the Commonwealth's southern boundary to the Ohio River that shapes its northern boundary. Along the journey are traces of Kentucky's past -- its literary and musical traditions, its state-level and national political leadership, and its basketball and bourbon. Yet this volume also faces forthrightly the Commonwealth's blemishes -- the displacement of Native Americans, African American enslavement, the legacy of violence, and failures to address poverty and poor health. A New History of Kentucky ranges throughout all parts of the Commonwealth to explore its special meaning to those who have called it home. It is a broadly interpretive, all-encompassing narrative that tells Kentucky's complex, extensive, and ever-changing story.
