All the packaged lots of books I offered here last evening are taken. The
only books still available are the individual ones listed below. I've
added some descriptive comments.
These can be had individually, for the price in parentheses, which
includes postage, shipping and handling.
Private replies only; don't respond to the entire list. First request gets
the book(s).

Eastman, Phil. A Decade of SIN (Plus Eight). University of Waterloo, 1987.
Compilation of problems from the Sir Isaac Newton (SIN) Exam for Canadian
high school students. Good performance could earn students a scholarship
to U. Waterloo. ($10) ==> Did I forget to mention that this book has very
complete solutions/answers to each problem? Also clever drawings,
including a cartoon by yours truly. Put some SIN in your life!<==
Miller, Franklin. College Physics, 4th ed. Harcourt Brace Jovanovich,
1977. One of the best non-calculus intro physics books, IMO. ($10) Well,
maybe I'm alone in that opinion.
Weidner, Richard T. and Robert L. Sells. Elementary Classical Physics,
2 vols. Allyn and Bacon, 1973. ($10) A no-nonsense calculus-physics intro
text.
Gregory, R. L. Eye and Brain, the Psychology of Seeing. Mc-Graw-Hill World
University Library, 1966. ($8) Hardbound. Vision is more than optics, and
any teacher who discusses the eye needs this broader perspective. For the
general reader, but even teachers will learn some new things.
Zachariasen. Theory of X-Ray Diffraction in Crystals. 1945, Dover 1967.
($8) Paperbound.
Brewster, Sir. David. The Stereoscope, Its History, Theory, and
Construction. 1858. Facsimile Edition. Morgan & Morgan, 1971. Hardback
with dust cover. A classic of interest to 3-D photographers. ($15) (That
is, photographers who take 3D pictures. Of course all photographers are
3-dimensional)
Dewey, Fred. M. Understanding Chemistry, an Introduction. West, 1994.
($8) Textbook. What can I say? I never liked chemistry, either.
Pierce, J. R. Symbols, Signals and Noise, the Nature and Process of
Communication. Harper, 1961. ($7) A non-technical introduction to
communication theory, very well-written.
