Books with author Daniel Fleisch

Waves are an important topic in the fields of mechanics, electromagnetism, and quantum theory, but many students struggle with the mathematical aspects. Written to complement course textbooks, this book focuses on the topics that students find most difficult. Retaining the highly popular approach used in Fleisch's other Student's Guides, the book uses plain language to explain fundamental ideas in a simple and clear way. Exercises and fully-worked examples help readers test their understanding of the concepts, making this an ideal book for undergraduates in physics and engineering trying to get to grips with this challenging subject. The book is supported by a suite of online resources available at www.cambridge.org/9781107643260. These include interactive solutions for every exercise and problem in the text and a series of video podcasts in which the authors explain the important concepts of every section of the book.

It would be a giant step in silencing Zack Wannamaker, a weed-smoking pot head whose only joy in life is making fun of gays.Zack is living with one kidney and that one is failing. When Barry finds out he is a match he is faced with the biggest decision in his life. Should he donate his kidney to the boy who has made his life miserable? His friends say no. What would you say?

Malcolm Maguire, a senior at all white Clinton High, gets an unusual surprise on the first day back after Christmas break. A gay Negro, Lionel Lemmons, shows up in his Homeroom, and he is as out of place as a brown beer mug in a collection of china tea cups. Malcolm and his girlfriend, Carrie Crawford, accept Lionel hoping to set an example that others will follow. It's not long before Malcolm and Carrie are getting anonymous hate notes. Gay prejudice is spread wide but racial prejudice runs deep. The reality is that the races are separated by an unyielding wall. Both Malcolm and Lionel are talented painters. Malcolm's greatest dream is to win the distinguished High School Art Competition, and Lionel has also entered. When Lionel wins, Malcolm is devastated. It is the mother of all sucker-punches. Then Lionel is disqualified on a technicality, and Malcom's painting is chosen as the winner. Now, Malcolm needs to do some some serious soul-searching. If you believe the races are equal, you will be shocked. If you believe it's okay to be gay you will be disappointed. But if you believe one person can make a difference you will be inspired.
