Describing Einstein's work is not easy. For such a diverse subject, 'difficult' is misleading, for it depends as much on the recipient as on the content, yet based on 'selective impressions' relativity has a daunting reputation, which deters many, and has gone unquestioned for years. This book takes a critical look at that image, and by ignoring the practical needs of professionals, places relativity in a very different perspective; harder parts are less common, but often matter least for general purposes; no knowledge of mathematics at all is necessary to fully understand what relativity says and means (contrary to popular belief), and on that basis, understanding Einstein should be within the grasp of every student interested to try, and with the motivation to succeed. To achieve this aim, an approach has been adopted which places emphasis on meaning over content, with the ultimate objective that understanding is what matters most, rather than provision of facts and information. The book is aimed at a very wide range of potential readers, from complete novice to university level, with format and content material adapted accordingly. The general layout is modular, with topics classified under three categories of difficulty, to meet different levels of interest and aptitude, and these grades are identified in the contents section preceding each chapter. Readers can thus customise their choice of reading, while cross referencing and frequent summaries facilitate moving between levels. Little mathematics is included in the text (and can all be skipped), but for advanced readers, a very full selection of equations (most with derivations from first principles) has been included in a series of appendices which follow each chapter. An unusual feature is a chapter on cosmology, for those who wish to follow the logical consequences of general relativity. There is a very extensive glossary.
A white man has been lynched two months before twenty-three-year-old Donald Gambell returns to his New Jersey hometown. As the first black member of the police force, Gambell learns the routines of his new work—the traffic stops and domestic quarrels, the bullying and bragging—from his partner Frank Butras, who refuses to discuss the murder that has left the town shaken. For Gambell, life near his father and sister is familiar in both its comforts and confusions, but his home has changed in ways he finds difficult to understand.

A Vietnam sniper tells his story and reveals the battles he fought even after the war was over... In 1968, Gary Mitchell enlisted in the Army and was sent to Vietnam, where he earned a reputation for keeping his head in extreme situations. This caught the eye of his superiors, who trained him in long-distance shooting, setting him on the path to becoming a sniper. Over a twenty-four-year career, Mitchell had twenty-four confirmed kills, most of these in Vietnam, where intelligence agents “borrowed” him from his Army unit. This is not just the story of a man at war; it’s also about the war within the man, because the memories of his sniper missions followed him home, throughout his career and into civilian life. And as the years went by, the full realization of what he’d done in the line of duty came back to haunt Mitchell’s scarred conscience. With the love and support of his wife, Ellen, he struggled to understand what had happened to him, and what his actions revealed about him. And though the immediate horror of Vietnam was long past, he found himself facing a different kind battle—one that nearly destroyed him.

He has over 20 years of experience on the fields of management, sales and the financial services sector, coupled with a thriving ministry for the Lord, enables Rev. Light and his wife, Min.
