Books with author John W.R. Taylor

Graduation has finally arrived for three friends in Donnington, Virginia. Thinking they’ll have time to enjoy their summer and go fishing in the Chesapeake Bay, they unearth a 100-year-old secret that could shatter lives, risk millions of dollars, and possibly lead to murder. Danger lurks in the shadows around this quaint community where people raise families and go to church on Sundays. Faced with three of the seven deadly sins, they’re quickly tossed into a world of wrath, greed and gluttony, a lot of responsibility for three young men embarking on new lives. Knowing they’re about to turn lives upside down, the three friends wonder who can be trusted to save them. Or will they have to save themselves? Join Reed, Nick and Jess as they stumble down the rabbit hole and hopefully find a safe way out!

Principles of Aerostatics presents the complete theory of static lift for airships, aerostats and balloons. Concepts are laid out, and building on the derivation of temperature, pressure, density and humidity in the atmosphere and the gas laws, formulas for static lift are derived. The variation of lift with atmospheric and airship parameters, climb and descent, and flight above pressure height are then explored. Both SI and United States Customary Units are employed throughout, and worked examples and calculator programs are provided. The mathematical processes can followed by a reader with an understanding of high school algebra."This is an excellent and unique work bringing the strands of basic theory together and rendering them into a workable series of mathematical expressions which can be used by any individual with a hand held scientific calculator. It is a most significant contribution to the LTA industry." - Dick Chadburn - Former Chairman, The Airship Association

Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. It is also an endless scientific panorama. Every movement by the players and each interaction with the ball involves physics, fluid mechanics, biology, and physiology, to name just a few of the scientific disciplines. In a book that targets middle and high school players, Taylor begins with a history of soccer and its physical and mathematical aspects. He then addresses important questions such as how and why a ball bounces, how the ball spins, and what these dynamics mean for the game. He introduces readers to the science of kicking, heading, and trapping and looks at the sources of the energy required to run, jump, and kick for an entire game. Taylor then puts it all together by following a sequence of plays and describing the science behind tactical maneuvers. Sidebars and appendices allow those with a more mathematical bent to follow the physics and perform experiments to see the effects of phenomena like drag, bounce, and spin. In addition, key terminology is highlighted, explained in the text, and summarized in the glossary.

The game also features some in-app purchase to help players to unlock some features much faster. For you to locate the Pokémon, you have to walk around since the Pokémon are located in random places. The phone’s camera gets activated as soon as a nearby Pokémon is located after which it shows you the Pokémon.Are you wondering what this app is all about and what the craze about it is?

This book represents an introduction to the human senses for kids. It might be your child’s first “read about your own problems” guide. It explains what can go wrong when the brain inappropriately magnifies the messages sense organs send to it. Making inappropriate responses to sensory input from various senses is commonly referred to as sensory processing disorder, or SPD. The child avoids, resists, or becomes emotionally upset about experiencing sensory awareness, to a level that significantly interferes with a child’s ability to perform the necessary major functions of daily living. This book is a therapy guide for any child with sensory issues.
