Hidden Unity in Nature's Laws

Book Description

One of the paradoxes of the physical sciences is that as our knowledge has progressed, more and more diverse physical phenomena can be explained in terms of fewer underlying laws, or principles. In Hidden Unity, eminent physicist John Taylor puts many of these findings into historical perspective and documents how progress is made when unexpected, hidden unities are uncovered between apparently unrelated physical phenomena. Taylor cites examples from the ancient Greeks to the present day, such as the unity of celestial and terrestrial dynamics (17th century), the unity of heat within the rest of dynamics (18th century), the unity of electricity, magnetism, and light (19th century), the unity of space and time and the unification of nuclear forces with electromagnetism (20th century). Without relying on mathematical detail, Taylor's emphasis is on fundamental physics, like particle physics and cosmology. Balancing what is understood with the unestablished theories and still unanswered questions, Taylor takes readers on a fascinating ongoing journey. John C. Taylor is Professor Emeritus of Mathematical Physics at the University of Cambridge. A student of Nobel laureate Abdus Salam, Taylor's research career has spanned the era of developments in elementary particle physics since the 1950s. He taught theoretical physics at Imperial College, London, and at the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, and he has lectured worldwide. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society and a Fellow of the Institute of Physics.

Download Description

As physics has progressed through the ages it has succeeded in explaining more and more diverse phenomena with fewer and fewer underlying principles. This lucid and wide-ranging book explains how this understanding has developed by periodically uncovering unexpected 'hidden unities' in nature. The author deftly steers the reader on a fascinating path which goes to the heart of physics - the search and discovery of elegant laws which unify and simplify our understanding of the intricate Universe in which we live. Starting with the Ancient Greeks, the author traces the development of major concepts in physics right up to the present day. Throughout, the presentation is crisp and informative and only a minimum of mathematics is used. Any reader with a background in mathematics or physics will find this book a fascinating insight into the development of our fundamental understanding of the world, and the apparent simplicity underlying it.

Worst Kind of Scientific Writing.......2005-09-08

I don't know whether it's because the author is British or else my expectations were too low, but this text presents several communication problems. The syntax is frequently poor. E.g., "It was Clairaut who also correctly predicted the return of Haley's comet in 1759." What happened in 1759? Clairaut's prediction or the return of Haley's comet? Words are frequently introduced early and explained later. Maybe most people in Great Britain know what a "parallax" is, but it is used five times before it's defined. Fortunately, an adequate, but by no means expansive, glossary is available. Many sentential structures are opaque, like "if the situation could exist, the work done on a particle in a closed curve would not be zero." Antecedently, curves aren't even mentioned, nor are particles. Whence this expression about conservation of energy? This text causes a lot of similar kinds of confusion; many passages had to be reread several times to get its sense. (It can be done, but it's extremely time-consuming and highly annoying.) Mathematical formulas are introduced pages before their explanations (if one is even given). Reading science can be fun, but this book was absolutely no fun at all. I've read scores of science books, but none was as convoluted and contorted as this one. Even when one perseveres, one is disappointed by the thesis. Pass.

Amazing Breadth and Depth of Knowledge of Physics.......2002-12-03

The author obviously has an amazing command of the complete range of his subject, physics. This book is both a an excellent history and an excellent narrative of the unfolding of man's search for the fundamental nature of the micro and macro nature of matter and the universe.
My only fault with this book is a paradox: the author assumes that the readers "don't know much about math" so for most of the book he painfully avoids writing equations, and substitutes wordy explanations. In doing so some of the beauty of his narrative is lost. The paradox is that anyone whe is going to plow into this book and get anything out of it, had better have a good handle on math at least algebra.

Hidden Unity in Nature's Laws.......2002-11-05

Hidden Unity in Nature's Laws written by John C. Taylor is a book about how physics and nature come together and how physics explains nature. Now, before you get all huffy and discount reading this book, let me say this, the author has taken great pains in explaining the mathematics in this book, making a very understandable and highly readable book.

This book has two major themes associated with its writing. First, there is a pattern of unification, the major example explained by the author is between magnetism and electricity, Research has showed that electricity and magnetism are interconnected... not that they are the same thing, but they are two aspects of a unified whole.

The other major theme the author brings out in the book is that quite often, different branches of physics have seemed to contradict each other when taken together. As the contradiction is resolved in a new, consistent, wider theory which include the two branches. This is called the resolution of contradictions.

What is so nice about this book is this, you'll need some knowledge of mathematics and physics, but the explaination is very understandable. There is a fascinating insight into the development of our fundamental understanding of the world, and the apparent simplicity underlying it.

The author takes us on an interesting path that leads right to the heart of physics, but never forgettting that his readers are not as skilled at physics as he is. Therefore, he uses pictures in explaining the mathematical priciples associated with explaining the problem, translating the equations into words or pictures.

I found this book to be highly readable and very understandable, explaining physics in terms that a layperson can gain the concepts and have a workable knowledge of what physics is all about. This book will get you on the ground floor.

Book Description

Hot on the paws of his successful Scotch and Toilet Water: A Book of Dog Cartoons, beloved New Yorker cartoonist Leo Cullum returns with a whole menagerie of creatures faced with surprisingly human predicaments. Tequila Mockingbird brings us a passel of chickens and ducks, assorted fowl and fish, cows, monkeys, penguins, snakes, sharks, and others in 125 hilarious cartoons that show just how highly evolved even the lowliest creatures have become.

Whether they portray two black widows chatting over tea ("Of all my husbands, I believe the first one tasted best"), a bewildered-looking therapist diagnosing his latest manic-depressive patient ("Apparently you're a bi-polar bear"), or a chicken and an egg in a new take on the which-came-first controversy, the cartoons in this book will have Cullum fans laughing out loud, and also provide tidbits of advice from the animal kingdom that even the wisest humans can benefit from.

great book.......2007-01-31

This book will make you laugh. A nice easy read. Great to have where someone might need to read just a little at a time. Hospitals and bathrooms come to mind. This was a great book for the money !!

Buy Two Copies - One for Yourself and One for a Good Friend.......2005-03-08

Readers of THE NEW YORKER or even individuals who occasionally just peruse the magazine's wonderful cartoons will be familiar with the talent of Leo Cullum, who has had over five hundred of his cartoons published there since 1977. This marvelous collection of his animal cartoons from the pages of that magazine provides the reader with 124 separate opportunities (including the cartoons on the front and back cover) to smile, chuckle, laugh out loud and occasionaly sympathize and commiserate with the animals portrayed. As the author states in his introduction, "animals are masters of metaphor...[and] the area of the cartoonist [is] to take an animal's personal cliche and blow it out of all reasonable proportion" or to cause us to see it in a new light. Of course we have the chicken crossing the road and the early bird ordering the worm, but we also have the unexpected grazing buffalo on his cellphone confiding that "I love the convenience, but the roaming charges are killing me".

It's impossible for me to pick a favorite from among this universally good collection, but I will mention a few others to provide some further flavor. While difficult to choose among the several which include political commentary, my favorite is probably the lion looking with regret at his paw and exclaiming to his mate - "He damaged a nerve when he pulled ther thorn out. I'd have a surefire malpractice suit if I hadn't eaten him." There are also several that simply include marvelous wordplay, such as the cowpoke explaining to his sidekick as he stands over the hogtied calf while brandishing his branding iron, "this part is easy. The tough part is instilling brand loyalty". But is is hard to top the title cartoon on the front cover, the TEQUILA MOCKINGBIRD dressed in Mexican garb and enjoying his drink at Jose & Rosa's Cantina.

As I hope it is clear, this book is highly recommended whether you are an avid reader of THE NEW YORKER or just one of the multitude of us who engage in anthropomorphism with regard to our coinhabitants of the animal kingdom. Warning: this book does not include any of Cullom's cartoons involving dogs; those are in the companion volume SCOTCH AND TOILET WATER (review 10/18/2004), which captures the essence of dogdom and which dog lovers will enjoy but is not quite as highly rated due to the more uneven quality of that collection. in summary, as the title of this review advises, this is a book to share with others. If you need a gift that will bring a smile to the face of the recipient, this is a wonderful choice. But you'll want a copy for yourself after perusing it, so you might as well just purchase two now.

It's a Cartoon Jungle Out There and Leo's the King.......2004-10-02

I was thrilled to discover this new volume of animal cartoons by New Yorker cartoonist Leo Cullum!

Like Scotch & Toilet Water?: A Book of Dog Cartoons, Tequila Mockingbird is further evidence that Cullum's first name is so appropriate. It's a cartoon jungle out there, and Leo's the king.

A wonderful 128 page volume, the book is stuffed with wonderful animal cartoons from Smokey the Bear on the witness stand testifying that "Absolutely! Where there's smoke there's fire," to a businessman commenting to his suit clad simian counterpart "You've had enough 'monkey see,' Edwards. We want some 'monkey do.'"

By far my favorite though is one in which a doctor with his stethoscope on a giant raven's back is asking the bird to "quoth." Its cartoons like that that continue to challenge me to write better.

Please pick this up in hardcover (my mother-in-law and I agree that the only real books are hardcovers) as soon as your cartoon book budget will allow. And if you don't currently have a cartoon book budget, then shame on you.

Witty fun.......2004-08-19

You know who you are -- those of you out there who pick up "The New Yorker" only to read the cartoons. There have been priceless collections through the years, from James Thurber to volumes such as "The New Yorker Book of Dog Cartoons", and so on.

Leo Cullum fits into that group of cartoonists for the thinking person, inspiring everything from a wry grin to a burst of laughter. Typical is the mouse on the psychiatrist's couch who says, "Do people go 'eek!' when you enter a room?" or the cow in the lone ranger mask who proclaims that he is mystery meat.

A fine group of cartoons, as is his other collection, "Scotch and Toilet Water" (picture a dog at a bar...).

Customer Reviews:

One of Nick's best efforts........2004-07-22

Nick has long been known for his well written and funny novels but this collection of short Mystery and SF stories is way over the top. Loving and spot-on sendups ranging from Arthur Conan Doyle to Robert B. Parker, a shaggy dog story of a rap star and even a new take on his own Bureau 13 books, this is not to be missed.

Highly entertaining.......2004-05-28

Nick Pollotta has vampires on the brain and that's a pretty good thing since he writes the Bureau 13 novels and has a couple of stories about them in this volume. These are not your ordinary vampire stories; they are laced with a heavy dose of humor and topped with a pun or two.

"Upgrading" is a Bureau 13 story about one of their members getting his talents upgraded so he can become better at his job. "The Incredibly Civil War" is a tale that reads like an old Harold Lloyd or Three Stooges movie. "The Collar" features a contract killer who finds another calling after meeting a demon. "Raw Terra" is a science fiction tale of cleaning up Titan and a new look at terraforming. "A Matter of Taste" and "The Really Final Solution" are detective tales with Holmes and Watson appearing in the latter. "Power to the People" is another futuristic tale of a war ravaged Earth and one mans attempt to help out.

Pollotta has written an entertaining collection of tales that will bring a chuckle and a grin to show his talent and versatility.

Painfully pun abound.......2004-05-10

"Never heard of Nick Pollotta? Join the club. Specializing in SF, mystery and humor - and with sixty published titles under his belt, Nick Pollotta has been plugging away just under the mainstream radar for the last fifteen years, earning a living as a writer and having fun doing it.
Tequila Mockingbird is his first collection of humorous (and often painfully punny) short stories. Pollotta's style is a sort of Monty-Python-meets-Raymond-Chandler pastiche. He writes with teenage enthusiasm - there's definitely no tortured, angst-filled artiste behind the gleeful storytelling. This guy obviously loves what he does!
The collection contains eleven stories, all of them bridged with an increasingly preposterous (but informative) "radio interview" with the author.
Tequila Mockingbird is a pie in the face of all the self-important genre fiction that takes itself too seriously. This collection is a delight, playfully lampooning everything we've come to love - and hate - about genre fiction. Tequila Mockingbird probably won't win any awards - but it will give you a few belly laughs!

Great Title--Better Book.......2001-08-04

Being a Southern California-based mystery writer, I recently sat beside Paul Bishop during the first Men of Mystery Day in Orange County. During that hour or so, one person after another asked Mr. Bishop to sign TEQUILA MOCKINGBIRD, most praising the title. The book does have a great title, but it is also a fine mystery. The plot involves the murder of a member of LAPD's anti-terrorism unit, and Fey Croaker's search for the truth. The plot takes many unexpected twists and turns, and soon Fey is struggling to protect Los Angeles from an international terrorist attack. Paul Bishop is a pro, and TEQUILA MOCKINGBIRD is a top-notch book. There is much to savor in TEQUILA MOCKINGBIRD in addition to its clever title.

Cardboard characters.......1999-10-12

I thought the writing was cliche-ridden and the characters were one-dimensional. I suggest Mr. Bishop read some Ridley Pearson or James Lee Burke to see how characters should be drawn. I will admit the plot idea was pretty good.

Bishop has once again done it........1998-11-18

Bishop's value has writier has hit the bull's eye with this one. As always, he speaks the truth about fiction. A great work by L.A.'s finest.

Chalk Whispers: A Fey Croaker LAPD Crime Novel (Fey Croaker Novels)

ASIN: 0684830094

Book Description

Paul Bishop is one of Los Angeles's most respected cops. For over twenty years he's played hardball on the streets in what is perhaps the best-known police division in America, and he brings to his Fey Croaker novels the kind of authenticity that only an insider could achieve.

The murder of Alex Waverly, a highly decorated detective assigned to the LAPD's clandestine Anti-Terrorist Division, appears to be an open-and-shut case of domestic violence turned deadly.

Circumstances are not exactly what they seem, however, as Fey Croaker discovers when the chief of police removes responsibility for the investigation from the department's Robbery-Homicide Division and assigns it to her with instructions to wrap it up "quick and tidy. No muss, no fuss."

Dropped into the middle of a power struggle between the chief of police and Vaughn Harrison, the department's deputy chief in charge of overseeing specialized investigation units -- including Robbery-Homicide Division and Alex Waverly's Anti-Terrorist Division -- Fey is torn between her loyalty to the Old Guard and following the razor's edge of integrity in a world filled with lies and deceptions.

Struggling to overcome her personal demons, especially the death of her lover, Fey and her appealing crew, the dynamic Arch Hammersmith and Rhonda Lawless (a.k.a. Hammer and Nails), Brindle Jones, Abraham Cohen (a.k.a. Alphabet), and Fey's second-in-command Monk Lawson, courageously search for the truth, no matter what the cost. Racing to stay ahead of the rising body count, they quickly become moving targets in their struggle to stop a south-of-the-border terrorist from striking at the very heart of Los Angeles.

Riveting in its plausibility, Tequila Mockingbird confirms Paul Bishop's place among the best of the police thriller writers and shows Fey Croaker and her team at the top of their form. Welcome aboard, fans of Joseph Wambaugh and William Caunitz. Paul Bishop has arrived.

So-so.......2006-02-26

A lot of good things can be said about `Tequila Mockingbird.' As I read the book, the characters and stories struck me as being a somewhat original twist on a very old story. Granted, its hard to write an original police procedural, and it was not Paul Bishop's intent to do so. But while I was reading this book, something kept nagging at the back of my mind that was bothersome. It was not until I was just about done and reading the Sunday New York Times that an article suddenly made it clear as to what it was that I found somewhat bothersome about the book. In the Times, I ran across an article on day times soaps. It was a look back at the decades of `General Hospital' and all of the `highlights' plot wise during its time. And it struck me that the histrionics going on here in `Tequila Mockingbird' were not in the vein of the hardboiled classics from Hammett and Chandler to Leonard and Elroy. Instead Bishop seems to have based the interactions of his characters and the squirming plot line of the story on day time soap operas. And for myself, that was kind of bothersome. The intensity is not here in the book, instead it is sort of like a day time confessional.

All of that aside, I did like the story. It is the first Bishop book that I have read. I think that it might have made an enormous difference if I had read the earlier books, so I would say not to start with this one if you have not read the author before. Time after time Bishop introduced characters and plot threads that seemed to have started long before the first page here and I felt a little out of the loop.

The twists are all good and strong.......1998-12-01

Very talented writer. Only wish Mr. Bishop could make Det. Crocker and her wolfpack both live up to what he claimed they should be. This problem continuously nagging behind my neck when I read "T.M." Bishop didn't give too much credit to make Crocker's team members look quite resourceful, capable and iniative enough, always one step behind like closing the stable after the horses run off, always one step behind. Neither making partners as lovers was quite a good arrangement. But in general, wonderful story, nicely twisted plot, fluent dialogue, and with down-to-earth people doing The Job.

Kind Of Flat.......1998-06-14

This book starts off with a good hook, but then the story starts to drag. I really tried to like these characters, but they just seemed a little flat. A complex plot flies off in too many directions. If you are into police procedure and conspiracy, this one might appeal to you, but I found it to be rather tedious.

From a Source I Respect. . ........1998-05-29

A few years ago in the mining town of Grass Valley, CA, I came across a wrinkled copy of Bishop's "Citadel Run" and thought it an interesting novel with some characters that could have received more fleshing out -- but all in all an "interesting read."

Yeah. Real easy for me to put it in the "interesting read" category. Not knowing, of course, the probable years of rejections, agony, re-writing, editorial snippings, and general crap that Bishop had to endure just to get his first novel into print.

Caught my eye: his background. He'd been there. I've been there. Still am there, so to speak. Verisimilitude. I look for it, bond with it. Joseph Wambaugh broke the barrier and God bless him for it. Bishop continues. God bless him, and more cheques forthcoming for you in your future, Mr. Bishop.

This current novel? Hardback, and about time. Bishop has come into his own with this novel and I can only support his cast and background. I very much enjoy his central character, Fey Croaker (the last name: a tad hard to take, but on the other hand, tongue firmly, for a second, planted in cheek. . .) and the support characters he has designed. The plot? I can more than identify with trying to design an ingenious plot. It takes quite some time, writing, re-writing, more re-writing and then, for those who just tuned in, more re-writing. My hat is off to you, Mr. Bishop.

I am a homicide investigator with a larger California agency. I, therefore, respect those who write from a position of experience. I will not denigrate the writings of, for example, John Sandford (nee John Camp) or Michael Connelly -- both most EXCELLENT authors. I continously purchase and WILL purchase any further books these two publish -- not to mention anything by James Ellroy, simply for the black torture of his soul and the ragged tips of his fingers on a keyboard.

But for Bishop, Wambaugh, Petievich (Gerald Petievich, where the HELL are you!?), I have the utmost respect. I know the! y know the dues they have paid, the price in terms of physical and, mostly, mental writhings. When they sleep at night, I know that, sometimes, yes sometimes, whether they admit or not, a case, a time, a date, a smell, a scene like a poor photograph, will come cascading back.

More power to you, Paul Bishop. I have not, but would, like to meet you. I have designs on the writing world as well -- in my own fevered dreams. They are restless amorphic things which, quite frankly, appear to have plans of never leaving me alone. There is, for me, then, the only option of putting them down on paper.

Keep writing, Mr. Bishop. You and only you know why, ultimately, you must continue.

A very good read.......1998-02-11

There are a lot of surprises in Tequila Mockingbird. Just when I'd settle in to decide where the plot was going, off it would go in an unexpected direction. This was a very good read that started off with April Waverley, pregnant and distraught, shooting her husband, Detective Alex Waverly, as he sat in his automobile outside the West L.A. police station. This seems straightforward enough, wouldn't you say? But it's not. And the reason it's not you'll have to find out for yourself when you read the book because I'm not about to give away the first surprise! Even though it was told right out in the blurb in Mystery Writers Guild, in which this book is an "Editor's Choice" selection. One of the best parts about reading this well-plotted, well-written, police procedural is knowing that Paul Bishop has spent 20 years with the L.A. Police department, so he knows whereof he speaks. The reader is there, following the subsequent, ever more complicated investigation, wherever it leads, which is into some unexpected locations. Fey Croaker is the name of Paul Bishop's LAPD homicide unit supervisor. As far as I'm concerned a writer can write in any kind of viewpoint he or she wants to. But there's always a problem when you try to write a strong woman, or a sensitive man, whether you are of the same gender or not. How far do you go? I felt Fey Croaker started out just right. Later, I felt some of her actions and reactions were more "manly" than "womanly." She takes a beating like a man, for example. In my opinion, and having known several women this applied to, the problem with being a woman taking over what has traditionally been a man's job is that the woman has to become more like a man in her actions and reactions. Also in my opinion, then, Paul got Fey exactly right! If Fey were to keep on acting and reacting in a "womanly" way, not being quite as tough as a woman would be expected to be in that situation --then she'd seem too "womanly" for the job. It's a dilemma that affects a woman writing in a man's viewpoint also. How sensitive can a guy get before being perceived by some readers as more "feminine" than "masculine?" I think the best any of us can do when writing in the viewpoint of a gender not our own is to strive to portray the character as honestly as we can and hope that at least some readers are going to perceive the character the way we did. stores. There's no one typical male or typical female out there. So I'm not being critical of the way Paul Bishop developed Fey Croaker. I think she's a strong character in a strong story. But I do think it's a difficult task to convince readers that a woman can be this strong--or that a man can be as sensitive as I sometimes make one. I liked that Fey grabbed her shoulder holster and ran out and took control of the situation, and then did the "womanly" thing by putting her arms around the woman who had shot her husband. I think this is the sort of sensible response a woman needs to bring to a job like Fey's. But it sure is a hard line to draw. All in all, I thought Paul drew the line well. I'd classify Tequila Mockingbird as a suspense story--the bad guys are known pretty early, it's a case of whether or not Fey can prevent them from winning, rather than any mystery about who is involved. I enjoyed it. Meg Chittenden
