This book introduces a new graphs-based language called Formal Graphs for representing the mathematical equations found in a large number of scientific domains, including mechanics, physicochemistry, dynamics, solid state physics, rheology, surface energy, electrochemistry, and chemical reactivity. This elementary approach consists of drawing links and nodes on a graph, instead of writing algebraic equations. The graphs encourage a visual, unified comprehension of the relationships between physical concepts and variables, properties, and operators. Minimize

A surreal new collection from an acclaimed poet Hallucinogenic plants chant in chorus. A thoughtful dog grants an interview. A caterpillar offers life advice. Amy Gerstler's newest collection of poetry, Dearest Creature, marries fact and fiction in a menagerie of dramatic monologues, twisted love poems, and epistolary pleadings. Drawing on sources as disparate as Lewis Carroll and Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein," as well as abnormal psychology, etiquette, and archaeology texts, these darkly imaginative poems probe what it means to be a sentient, temporary, flesh-and- blood beast, to be hopelessly, vividly creaturely.
