This textbook is suitable for a one-semester introduction to General Relativity for advanced undergraduates in physics and engineering. The book is concise so that the entire material can be covered in the one-semester time frame. Many of the calculations are done in detail, without difficult mathematics, to help the students. Though concise, the theory development is lucid and the readers are exposed to possible analytic calculations.

In the second edition, the famous twin paradox with acceleration is solved in full from the accelerated observer's frame. The findings of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration, who captured the first ever image of a black hole, are discussed in detail. The geodetic and frame drag precessions of gyroscopes in orbit about a rotating Earth are worked out and the Gravity Probe B (GPB) experiment is discussed. Also in the second edition are some new exercise problems.

Looks decent but is slightly under engineered
Size: 41 Inch Extra Long, Color: White Faux Marble, Size: 41 Inch Extra Long, Color: White Faux Marble
Five stars for packaging, quality of materials and instructions. It's a really good looking product out of the box. No scratches or defects in workmanship. Material fit and finish is very good. If you've ever assembled anything from Ikea, the hardware will seem familiar. The problems that led to me giving it 3 stars occur in the engineering. All of the weight transfer to the center with just four corner anchor points creates a sag. If you drop a 4' level across the top after installing, it's a noticeable 1/8" dip in the middle as gravity pulls on the unsupported center. If you're one of those people that notices an out of level picture on a wall from fifty paces, this is going to be a problem for you. Being that I knew it would only get worse with time and eventually make me insane, I installed a very small L bracket in the middle under the bottom shelf, pushing the entire thing up until the deflection was gone. I also tossed the anchors that came with it as those are for concrete/block walls and used metal EZ anchors that are rated for drywall. If you use the included anchors in 1/2“ drywall, there's a good chance they'll pull out. Toggle bolts would also be a good alternative. Another small detail that's missing is the lack of a plug or cover for the four exposed cams making up the vertical center support. Depending on your viewing angle and how much stuff you'll store will determine if these are visible or not. Including a simple white decal would have been reasonable. I used some white, stick-on melamine screw covers I had lying around to try and hide the cam locks better. Lastly, I wish this were made in plain white. While the faux marble somewhat matches our dining table, The veining is too pronounced. Plain white would have been better.

Revelation for the serious Bible student
Format: Hardcover
The most complete discussion of Revelation I have read. Be aware it is written in a very academic style, so not for casual reading.

Interesting!
Format: Hardcover
I was surprised to see Schreiner in Revelation. I unfairly had him as a Paul guy only in my mind. It turned out those skills that he is well known for on Paul are found here. This commentary is, without doubt, a major work on Revelation. It walks in the room and joins the big boys. But just like the other champions of the modern major academic, exegetical commentaries this one takes an “eclectic” viewpoint. That’s the rage of the hour. Doesn’t make anyone too happy, but then again not too angry either. Like me, you may not take an eclectic approach but rather a specific viewpoint in one of the major categories. Will you still be helped by this commentary? I think you definitely will. What are its strengths? Impeccable scholarship stands out. Sometimes that’s a pile of dry bones, but here it has life. Here the scholarly “interacting” pays off. It begins in the Introduction and continues in the commentary proper. Here the interaction necessarily involves the different perspectives and that enlightens no matter where you come from. Another asset of this commentary is its tone. He fairly represents other viewpoints and humbly assesses and shares his own. I often don’t exactly agree, but he’s easy to follow. It’s easy for me to weigh as I’m looking at a fairly represented picture. I wouldn’t call the structure of Revelation as a whole a strength here. Perhaps that’s the collateral damage of an eclectic position, though he gives a serviceable outline. He does give, however, some nice thoughts on structure in the smaller periscopes. I’m convinced he sheds light in each passage no matter your overall prophetic outlook. Outside of one that lines up perfectly for you (rare), what more could you ask for? I received this book free from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.
