A refreshingly humorous and effective cartoon explanation of the principles of physics.You don’t have to be a scientist to grasp these and many other complex ideas, becausethis book explains them all: velocity, acceleration, explosions, electricity and magnetism, circuits — even a taste of relativity theory — and much more, in simple, clear, and, yes, funny illustrations. Physics will never be the same! PB 224p, 310g.

Body by Design defines the basic anatomy and physiology in each of 11 body systems from a creational viewpoint. Every chapter explores the wonder, beauty and creation of the human body, giving evidence for creation, while exposing faulty evolutionistic reasoning.
Special explorations into each body system look closely at disease apsects, current events, and discoveries, while profiling the classic and contemporary scientists and physicians who have made remarkable breakthroughs in studies of the human body.
* Good for Christian highscool or college students
*Graphs, tables, focus sections, diagrams and illustrations to provide clear examples and explanations of ideas presented.
*Questions at the end of each chapter challenge the student to think through the evidence presented.

Some astronomers look at the stars and planets through a telescope. In this unique book, author Danny
Faulkner views them through a biblical perspective. Written for the well-read layman, high school through
adult age, Universe by Design explores and explains the historical development of this science, including
current ideas in the field. From a creationist standpoint, Faulkner also addresses common misconceptions,
difficulties, and critiques about relativity and cosmology. This book would be an excellent
supplement to any home school curriculum. Includes: • Contributions of Ptolemy, Galileo, Brahe,
Newton, Hubble, Einstein, and other famous scientists to the field of cosmology • Many diagrams
and illustrations • Theories and facts on the origin and expansion of the universe • Thorough discussion
of the big bang and the problems with it • Many examples and analogies to help understand
concepts of cosmology. God’s awesome power is reflected in every star and planet in the universe around us!
Challenging questions at the end of every chapter. Grades 7-12. +

This is an excellent reader for all students as they learn about geometry. It has been out-of-print for 34 years. Students and teachers have used photo copies rather than not being able to experience the beautiful illustrations by Corydon Bell and have their own copy to refer to and cherish throughout the years.
Using only three simple tools-the string, the straightedge, and the shadow-men discovered the basic principles and constructions of elementary geometry more than two thousand years ago.
This engrossing book reveals how Read the rest of this entry »
