Backbeat: A Novel of Physics

Undulating waves, colliding particles, trapped energy -- quantum physics is a wellspring of images for fiction, yet Backbeat: A Novel of Physics goes well beyond science as metaphor. Point of view depends on the reader’s frame of reference, plots resonate through time, characters superimpose as waves of energy, and sentences seem to vibrate on the page.

Backbeat is all of the following and more!

* The universal story of an orphan’s quest for family told in the language of physics
* The first novel that brings quantum physics to bear on human relationships
* A coming-of-age novel in which an orphan learns spiritual maturity through his mother’s lost letters
* A novel of physics that celebrates the 100th anniversary of Einstein’s theories: 1905-2005
* An inspirational story in which readers share five insights through an understanding of physics
* A murder mystery in which the solution involves investigating universal questions of life
* A love story told in light of an eternal and timeless physics of love

Don't miss this one-of-a-kind novel that brings the new language and insights of quantum physics to bear on the way we live and die. You comments will be appreciated!

The Synthesis

This novel eerily predicted the use of a terrorist threat to centralize power by a government that will do anything to destroy the opposition, even abandon the beliefs and morality of democratic tradition. The Synthesis is an international techno-thriller with a philosophic twist that is even more relevant today as we contemplate our response to increasing violence.

Sailing Free: Physics and the Open Sea

A novice sailor and his family fight overwhelming obstacles to find in the open sea a natural ally in a search for deep creativity. An updated Walden tale of deliberate living, the family overcomes a dangerous lack of sailing experience and sometimes numbing personal fear to achieve a freedom many seek, but few realize. Arment discovers in the roiling Atlantic waves the natural state of spontaneity that enables and necessitates our drive to create.
