The author is a freelance science journalist, writing regularly on astronomy and space science for New Scientist and the Observer. He is also closely associated with amateur astronomy, and for 7 years edited the astronomy magazine Hermes. Does life exist elsewhere in space? This is the single most important scientific question which we are currently capable of answering and certainly the most exciting. This book is an attempt to tell the story of the search for life in space, a story which should appeal to every human being. The book begins by looking at scientific basis for the belief in life elsewhere in space, and at the attempts by scientists to find such life, either by sending spacecraft such as Viking in search of lowly life forms on the planets of our own solar system, or by listening to radio telescopes for signals from advanced civilizations on planets circling other stars. The book also considers how we might colonize space and travel to the stars, as well as speculating upon the consequences of such actions.

The object of this collection of problems and exercises in elementary algebra is to provide teachers and pupils with material of a higher degree of difficulty than that in standard secondary school textbooks, so that pupils who wish to deepen their mathematical knowledge can do so. The exercises in the collection can be tackled by any reader who has studied elementary mathematics, but has not gone beyond it. Though some problems are in trigonometry, they are in fact all of an algebraic character. The problems are grouped, and each group is provided with notes on how to go about solving them. Answers are given for almost all problems, with a few exceptions. If the reader’s knowledge and appreciation of mathematics is fostered by working through the book, the author’s aim will have been justified. This is certainly one of the top ten books for high school competition mathematics study and preparation. There are 585 problems here in all, including complete coverage of algebra. But not just algebra - there is extensive material covering other relevant areas such as Trigonometry, Inequalities, Limits and - very importantly - in algebraic proof techniques, such as Mathematical Induction.

To become an expert swordsman, one must pay close attention to detail, be highly self-critical, and practice diligently every day under the guidance of a good teacher. Unfortunately, contact time with a worthy mentor is limited for most. Practice Drills for Japanese Swordsmanship fills this obvious gap in the training of the modern swordsman by providing bokuto (wooden sword) drills to supplement the formal class activity of forms practice. Both single and two-person drills are presented, some common to iaido and kenjutsu, others extracted from iaido forms by the author and used to teach his own students the proper ways of drawing, parrying, and cutting. Each drill is illustrated with step-by-step drawings to help students hone their techniques; together they provide a comprehensive system of general skills development for anyone interested in using the Japanese sword.
