Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In teaching an introduction to transport or systems dynamics modeling at the undergraduate level, it is possible to lose pedagogical traction in a sea of abstract mathematics. What the mathematical modeling of time-dependent system behavior offers is a venue in which students can be taught that physical analogies exist between what they likely perceive as distinct areas of study in the physical sciences. We introduce a storyline whose characters are superheroes that store and dissipate energy in dynamic systems. Introducing students to the overarching conservation laws helps develop the analogy that ties the different disciplines together under a common umbrella of system energy. In this book, we use the superhero cast to present the effort-flow analogy and its relationship to the conservation principles of mass, momentum, energy, and electrical charge. We use a superhero movie script common to mechanical, electrical, fluid, and thermal engineering systems to illustrate how to apply the analogy to arrive at governing differential equations describing the systems' behavior in time. Ultimately, we show how only two types of differential equation, and therefore, two types of system response are possible. This novel approach of storytelling and a movie script is used to help make the mathematics of lumped system modeling more approachable for students.

Book excerpt: A series of vicious attacks by the enigmatic M'Dok Empire has devastated the planet Tenara -- bringing the U.S.S Enterprise™ and another Federation starship, the Centurion, to the planet's aid. The Centurion's captain is Lucius Sejanus -- a powerful, magnetic man who favors taking a far stronger stance against the M'Dok than Captain Picard. And as the conflict escalates, Sejanus's instincts seem to be correct...for it appears only extreme measures can stop the murderous raids on Tenara. Now the people of Tenara must decide which pathe they will follow -- the way of peace, or the road to war. But unknown to any one of the Centurion's officers has made that decision for them -- and plans to provoke a full-scale war between the Federation and the M'Dok Empire!

Like that song you've heard a hundred times and can't get tired of because it connects to who you are. In just the first few notes, it taps into something deep within you that makes sense, takes you home, and seems to give you strength. As you sail the pages of The Captain's Pen, Patch Spears reveals an original perspective and thought-provoking answers to life's most elusive questions. His honesty is contagious, and as He exposes the intimate details of his journey, you'll find yourself comfortably connected to recognizable lyrics with a surprising bridge of clarity and soul-bending notes that will stretch the mind. Wrestling with God over painful loss and suffering in our world you are taken down a familiar path to all of us. Patch is personally acquainted with the desperate need of every human heart to know "Why? Why this pain?" If God is all-powerful, and He really loves me, then "What am I missing?" If you've ever asked that question or know someone who is, then grab this book and allow its unique view of God's truth to help you find the answers. Knowing the answers to tough questions is one thing. Being able to convey those answers to someone in pain is another thing entirely. Find out what The Captain's Pen revealed to Patch and what He longs to reveal to you. If you feel misunderstood, then you're in good company and much closer to the heart of God than you think. Come into this voyage with Patch and meet the God you never knew. See His love for you in ways you won't expect and behind doors you never opened. See your world through His eyes and with His heart and finally understand the compassion behind the wisdom of the Captain.
