The Natural Navigator, Tenth Anniversary Edition

The Rediscovered Art of Letting Nature Be Your Guide

By: Tristan Gooley

“A truly vital book for any outdoor adventurer.”—Cabin Life Before GPS, before the compass, and even before cartography, humankind was navigating. A windswept tree, the depth of a puddle, or a trill of birdsong could point the way home, and they still do—if you know how to look. With The Natural Navigator, his first book, Tristan Gooley invited us to notice the directional clues hidden all around: in the sun, moon, stars, clouds, weather patterns, lengthening shadows, changing tides, growing plants, and habits of wildlife. A decade after publication, this modern classic still reminds us that we can find south by joining the horns of the crescent moon—and find adventure in our own backyards.

Chronoscope 2004

By: Tristan MacAvery

In 1986, a handful of authors challenged each other to write new works every month, to be reproduced and shared for mutual criticism. Enter a graphic artist with a sophisticated reproduction equipment, and before they knew it, the literary magazine Chronoscope was born. Although producing only 14 issues over its two-and-a-half year run, Chronoscope had readers and contributors from a dozen countries around the world. Here are poems of love, terror, contemplation, merriment and sorrow. There is teasing of sacred cows, and a French town full of escaped chickens. From the tenderness of passion to the endless dull travel of a couple locked in an empty marriage, from the terror of the opening of a doorway into Hell to a riotously naughty look at the nature of statistics, Chronoscope always entertained, touched, tickled, and tore at the imaginations of its readers. Welcome to this, the anthology of the best that Chronoscope had to offer during its initial run, and the inauguration of the annual competition for other new, passionate voices to be heard. Come enjoy a time of creation, a time of expression, a time of the mind taking flight... Come take the measure of Chronoscope.

The Natural Navigator

The Rediscovered Art of Letting Nature Be Your Guide

By: Tristan Gooley

From the New York Times-bestselling author of The Secret World of Weather and The Lost Art of Reading Nature’s Signs, learn to tap into nature and notice the hidden clues all around you Before GPS, before the compass, and even before cartography, humankind was navigating. Now this singular guide helps us rediscover what our ancestors long understood—that a windswept tree, the depth of a puddle, or a trill of birdsong can help us find our way, if we know what to look and listen for. Adventurer and navigation expert Tristan Gooley unlocks the directional clues hidden in the sun, moon, stars, clouds, weather patterns, lengthening shadows, changing tides, plant growth, and the habits of wildlife. Rich with navigational anecdotes collected across ages, continents, and cultures, The Natural Navigator will help keep you on course and open your eyes to the wonders, large and small, of the natural world.

Visual Differential Geometry and Forms

A Mathematical Drama in Five Acts

By: Tristan Needham

An inviting, intuitive, and visual exploration of differential geometry and forms Visual Differential Geometry and Forms fulfills two principal goals. In the first four acts, Tristan Needham puts the geometry back into differential geometry. Using 235 hand-drawn diagrams, Needham deploys Newton’s geometrical methods to provide geometrical explanations of the classical results. In the fifth act, he offers the first undergraduate introduction to differential forms that treats advanced topics in an intuitive and geometrical manner. Unique features of the first four acts include: four distinct geometrical proofs of the fundamentally important Global Gauss-Bonnet theorem, providing a stunning link between local geometry and global topology; a simple, geometrical proof of Gauss’s famous Theorema Egregium; a complete geometrical treatment of the Riemann curvature tensor of an n-manifold; and a detailed geometrical treatment of Einstein’s field equation, describing gravity as curved spacetime (General Relativity), together with its implications for gravitational waves, black holes, and cosmology. The final act elucidates such topics as the unification of all the integral theorems of vector calculus; the elegant reformulation of Maxwell’s equations of electromagnetism in terms of 2-forms; de Rham cohomology; differential geometry via Cartan’s method of moving frames; and the calculation of the Riemann tensor using curvature 2-forms. Six of the seven chapters of Act V can be read completely independently from the rest of the book. Requiring only basic calculus and geometry, Visual Differential Geometry and Forms provocatively rethinks the way this important area of mathematics should be considered and taught.

Tea for Twenty

From the Files of the Tayan Research Network

By: Tristan MacAvery

From the archives of the Tayan Research Network...a worldwide institute researching the paranormal...comes a story of murder, mystery, and manifestations of incredible psychic and supernatural powers. The death of psychic researcher James Turner, while alone in one of the most haunted houses in Houston TX, has shocked the entire Network. Jims friends and co-workers cannot understand how it could have happened. Michael Morriset...a disturbed young man tormented by extraordinarily powerful psychic abilities that he can barely control...lives with the terror of having witnessed Jims death in a dream at the exact moment that it occurred. Or was it a dream? Could Michaels self-described inner demon have killed Jim without his realizing it? Against TRN directives, Michael assembles a team to move into the house and solve its mysteries. The only people who will accompany him have their own motives for going...fear, pride, greed, jealousy -- even another murder. As the malevolent power of the house grows stronger, reaching out to claim more victims, Michael and his team face a countdown to a terrible final conflict where the most dangerous opponent that they face might just be the renegade spirit of Jim Turner himself.
