A useful scientific theory, claimed Einstein, must be explicable to any intelligent person. In Deep Down Things, experimental particle physicist Bruce Schumm has taken this dictum to heart, providing in clear, straightforward prose an elucidation of the Standard Model of particle physics -- a theory that stands as one of the crowning achievements of twentieth-century science. In this one-of-a-kind book, the work of many of the past century's most notable physicists, including Einstein, Schrodinger, Heisenberg, Dirac, Feynman, Gell-Mann, and Weinberg, is knit together in a thorough and accessible exposition of the revolutionary notions that underlie our current view of the fundamental nature of the physical world. Schumm, who has spent much of his life emmersed in the subatomic world, goes far beyond a mere presentation of the "building blocks" of matter, bringing to life the remarkable connection between the ivory tower world of the abstract mathematician and the day-to-day, life-enabling properties of the natural world. Schumm leaves us with an insight into the profound open questions of particle physics, setting the stage for understanding the progress the field is poised to make over the next decade or two. Introducing readers to the world of particle physics, Deep Down Things opens new realms within which are many clues to unraveling the mysteries of the universe.

Around a hidden lake in the mountains is a perfect place. The people there live long and contented lives. But not for much longer... Andrew, May and Ewan will destroy everything. Unless the mystery that awaits deep, deep down destroys them first...

In the tradition of Because of Winn-Dixie comes a charming story of a tomboy in love with the most popular boy in school. 6th-grader Jessie Lou is deeply, madly, passionately in love with Conrad Parker Smith. Too bad she's a tomboy with only one on-again, off-again friend, and hair so short you can't spit on it. Too bad he's the most popular boy in their small-town school. But then Conrad hurts his leg and suddenly can't keep up with his old pursuits anymore. Jessie Lou and Conrad start spending a lot more time together, but she can't help wonder -- is she just a substitute friend? And will Conrad forget her when his leg brace comes off and he's king of the school once again?

If it sounds outrageous, then Rob Gordon was involved. These stories are hilarious, viewed in a greater perspective, they represent true Canadiana But officer, if I was a real criminal, would I have just taken 3 teensy little bottles of Beer? Rob Gordon A must read for anyone who thinks that life is stressful! There are others out there that push the limits on decency, this is a man who tells it like it is with a Flashman Twist , perhaps a modern Flashman! My own work is far removed from the places and situations he goes, that is why I love them.. Dr. Kathleen Lundon , Author Orthopedic Rehabilitation Science
