Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ever-Changing Sky provides a comprehensive and non-mathematical guide to spherical astronomy. The reader is guided through terrestrial and celestial co-ordinate systems, time measurement and celestial navigation, to the prediction of the rising and setting of the stars, Sun and Moon. It focuses on the geometrical aspects of the night sky without using complex trigonometry. The book progresses to a general study of the Earth and sky, including the stars and constellations (with useful star maps provided), the motions and appearance of the Moon, tides and eclipses, the orbits of the planets and the smaller bodies of the Solar System (asteroids, meteors, meteorites and comets). Finally, there is a brief overview of atmospheric phenomena (including rainbows and haloes). This text will be invaluable to students taking courses in naked-eye astronomy, amateur and professional astronomers, as well as more general readers wanting to know how the night sky changes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ever Changing Sky: Meditations on the Psalms, a book of lay meditations on the Psalms composed in fits and starts over a thirteen-year period, is for anyone struggling with the challenges of leading an authentic life in what poet John Keats termed an "arena of soul making." Special emphasis is given to the trials and fulfillments the author experienced while journeying to discover the indivisible connections among his roles as husband, father, grandfather, teacher, author, and Catholic. Although this book should appeal to a wide audience of readers seeking to uncover sacramental graces in everyday life, The Ever Changing Sky is especially meaningful for those wishing to contemplate their lives in a spirit of wakefulness.
