If you want to understand how our world works, the periodic table holds the answers. When the seventh row of the periodic table of elements was completed in June 2016 with the addition of four final elements—nihonium, moscovium, tennessine, and oganesson—we at last could identify all the ingredients necessary to construct our world.In Elemental, chemist and science educator Tim James provides an informative, entertaining, and quirkily illustrated guide to the table that shows clearly how t...

Going Crazy (Left foot, right foot, breathe) is a candid look at the inner workings of professional songwriting. It is also an honest, vulnerable memoir about overcoming life's trials and tribulations. James has lived an inspiring story of going from a small-town country boy to living and thriving in the big city of Los Angeles, then back again. Revealing his own faults and missteps along with subsequent lessons learned, James shares his journey rich with poignant details about how he not ...

Guiding us through Einstein's theory of relativity, quantum mechanics, and string theory, Astronomical explains the baffling mysteries of the cosmos: from alien life to the zodiac; from white holes to wormholes; from quasars to quark stars—all within a narrative that is as entertaining as it is edifying.Does the Big Bang prove the existence of God? What's the Universe expanding into? Is Earth the only planet which supports life?Space is the biggest...

A brilliantly diverting and mind-expanding guide to quantum and particle physics.At the start of the twentieth century, our knowledge of science appeared complete and it seemed that the laws of nature were almost all discovered, but then we woke a sleeping giant—we discovered quantum mechanics. In the quantum realm, objects can be in two places at once. It’s a place where time travel is not only possible, but necessary. It’s a place where cause and effect can happe...

La science est d'une lenteur déconcertante. Elle progresse au rythme de quelques centimètres par décennie, en vérifiant chaque fait trois fois, de sorte que lorsqu'une hypothèse est confirmée ou infirmée, les personnes qui l'ont proposée à l'origine sont souvent à la retraite ou décédées. Cependant, de temps en temps, les lunes du destin s'alignent et nous font dévier de notre trajectoire vers une victoire inattendue et involontaire. Laissez-vous conter par Tim James comment des découverte...

Le Big Bang prouve-t-il l’existence de Dieu ? Dans quel espace l’Univers se déploie-t-il ? Savez-vous qu’il neige du métal sur Vénus et des diamants sur Neptune, qu’il y a d’immenses lacs souterrains sur Mars et des rivières de pétrole sur Titan ?Le cosmos est l’objet le plus grand, le plus ancien, le plus chaud, le plus froid et le plus étrange qu’un humain puisse étudier. En nous guidant à travers la relativité d’Einstein, la physique quantique et la théorie des cordes, Tim James ...

Au début du XXe siècle, la science semblait complète et les lois de la nature presque toutes découvertes, mais des chercheurs intrépides ont réveillé un géant endormi en découvrant la mécanique quantique.Dans le monde quantique, les objets peuvent se trouver en deux endroits à la fois, le voyage dans le temps est non seulement possible, mais nécessaire, la cause et l'effet peuvent s’inverser, et la simple observation d'un objet change son état.Des univers parallèles à l'antim...

In 1978, Tim James sold his butcher shop in Ogburn Station, NC and moved with his wife, Debbie, to Cherokee, North Carolina. A small group on the reservation had invited him to pastor their church. Over 42 years later, Tim continues to pastor at Sequoyah Sovereign Grace Baptist Church. For all of those years, Tim has preached expositorily through books of the Bible, having preserved his notes in large three-ring binders. Although visitors to his home have seen them, none had read them. In ...
