John D. Frey leads readers on a fascinating journey in this book that seeks to prove that Albert Einsteins theory of special relativity is all wrong. He begins by sharing an overview of special relativity, including its history, principles, and how these principles bring about time dilation and length contraction. The author examines six experiments that show that the theorys claims and principles can disqualify themselves by producing impossible, opposing results. He also explains how experiments that supposedly have verified special relativity and its claims actually help prove that the theory is flawed. Behind this book was over 10 years of research by the author concerning every aspect of special relativity. In addition, the author consulted with over 30 professors of physics concerning his ideas and experiments and their feedback was extremely important in the creation of this book. Written in everyday, nontechnical language, the book will make sense to those without a background in physics. No matter what you do for a living, you can participate in a vital discussion about our universe and join the author in Challenging the Unchallengeable.

A road trip novel of three desperate souls fueled by drugs, alcohol, and delusions—from the New York Times–bestselling author of Legends of the Fall. The author of thirty-nine books of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry, Jim Harrison was one of our most beloved and acclaimed writers, adored by both readers and critics. His novel, A Good Day to Die, centers on an unlikely trio: a poet with a tendency to lapse into beatific reveries of superb fishing in cold, fast streams; a Vietnam vet consumed by uppers, downers, and violence; and a girl who loved only one of them—at first. With plans conceived during the madness of one long drunken night, the three of them leave Florida, driving west to buy a case of dynamite, determined to save the Grand Canyon from a dam they believe is about to be built. A Good Day to Die is an unrelenting tour de force, and a dark exploration of what it means to live beyond the pale in contemporary America. “Mr. Harrison’s perceptions are jagged and cutting . . . A remarkably well-plotted story.” —Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times
