    The Under-Standing of Eclipses 2016

    The Under-Standing of Eclipses 2016

    This book, now in an enlarged 5th edition, methodically explains why eclipses of the Sun and Moon happen, their intricate patterns in time and space - and why they are so exciting. There are page-spreads, with dynamic globe diagrams, for examples of the main kinds of eclipse and several curious cases, such as a "broken-ring eclipse", a "geometrically tight eclipse", a "globe-skimming eclipse"; and the cross-USA total solar eclipse of August 2017. Rich illustrations, including the 12-page "bead curtain" chart of all eclipses from 1901 to 2116; "Eclipse stories" (with some cartoons); eclipses of the future; tables; index. 8½ x 11 in., 96 pages, many illustrations. 1991; 2nd edition 1991; 3rd edition 2004; 4th edition 2013; 5th edition 2016, with recent updates.

    ISBN 978-0-934546-74-4.

    The Troy Town Tale

    The Troy Town Tale

    The mass of legends about Troy, in the form of a novel.
    Homer's Iliad (the fountainhead of European literature) recounts just a few days in the tenth year of the war of Troy. Later writers added other episodes - onward to the end of the siege and its aftermath, back many generations to its roots - until it became the collective dream of the Western world. This novel for the first time weaves the great story mass into a unified whole. The famous characters teem (Helen, Hector, Paris, Achilles, Agamemnon, Ajax, Priam, Cassandra . . .) but the narrator is a surprising one, a female captive.

    Hardbound, 6 x 9 in., 410 pages; color painting on jacket, sketches, maps, genealogical tables, 39-page appendix on the Greek names . 1999. ISBN 978-0-934546-38-6.

    Approval Voting

    Approval Voting

    This is the system in which you can vote for more than one candidate. It is a surprisingly simple costless reform that solves the acute problems of the "split" vote, the "spoiler," the "voter's dilemma," which plague so many elections. And it makes clear the underlying wishes of the voting population.
    First published in 1977, this was the original description of approval voting, though it did not then have that name. The latest edition is enlarged, with pages on examples of elections that cried out for the reform; examples of places and times at which approval voting has been used; campaigns for it; and exit polls that have shown what the results would be if people were allowed to vote in this way.

    29 pages; illustrations.

    ISBN 978-0-934546-78-2.

    A Bemerton Anthology

    A Bemerton Anthology

    Poems by George Herbert and Barbara Murray.
    Eleven poems of George Herbert selected by Barbara Murray, and twenty-one poems by Barbara Murray. With drawings by Guy Ottewell of Bemerton near Salisbury in England, where George Herbert was parish priest from 1630 to 1633.
    “Most of [Barbara Murray's] poems are, as true poetry is, driven by real feeling and crafted out of surprisingly found words. The first few . . . seem the most necessitated, meant, in any language; beside them, many other poems seem to be acts of play that could have been left undone.”

    6 x 9 in., 43 pages, drawings, color cover. 2010. ISBN 978-0-934546-57-7.

    Ten-Minute History of the World and, Queen Guinevere's Rules

    Ten-Minute History of the World and, Queen Guinevere's Rules

    Two essays: Ten-Minute History of the World, and Queen Guinevere’s Rules.
    These were originally talks given extemporaneously to human-rights groups. The Ten-Minute History is an attempt to answer the question as to whether things are really better or worse than in the past, whether they will ultimately get better, whether there is point in our struggle - what the curve of history is. Queen Guinevere's Rule is a fair way of conducting discussions.

    5½ x 8½ in., 24 pages. 1996; reprinted 1997, 2002, 2004; new edition 2013 with added section. ISBN 978-0-934546-65-2.
