An Introduction to the Theory of Elasticity
This introductory volume offers upper-level undergraduates a perspective based on modern developments that also takes into account the limited mathematical tools that students are likely to have at their disposal. It also places special emphasis on areas that students often find difficult upon first encounter, providing an accessible guide that will instill a firm foundation for more advanced study. The topics covered include a general discussion of deformation and stress, the derivation of the equations of finite elasticity with some exact solutions, and the formulation of infinitesimal elasticity with application to some two- and three-dimensional static problems and elastic waves. Answers to examples appear at the end of the book. 1980 ed. 256pp. 53/8 x 81/2.

Essence of the Tarot: Modern Reflections on Ancient Wisdom
Essence of the Tarot differentiates itself from other Tarot books by interlacing ancient wisdom with modern insight. The first section, "Ancient Wisdom," explores the major themes of each card or archetype of the Tarot. It contains insight from many sources, including astrology, mythology, the Kabbalah, and modern psychology, and focuses on the more meditative aspect of each card. It also includes a traditional divination and ways to interpret the cards in an easy, approachable manner.
The second section, "Modern Reflections," reads similar to a diary, drawing analogies from modern cultural experiences such as literature, film, and daily life in the 21st century. It presents the stories behind the images, which help to make the cards real and alive, removing them from the realm of metaphysics and placing them squarely into everyday reality. It also encourages the reader to develop his or her own unique perspective.
