Summary

Sun Stands Still tackles the fascinating question of whether science can explain the biblical account of Joshua's long day. It bridges Physics and Biblical Studies, exploring if atmospheric refraction could account for the perceived extended daylight.

 
The book uniquely aims to reconcile faith and science by investigating the scientific plausibility of this event, rather than dismissing it outright. One intriguing aspect explored is how light bends through atmospheric layers, potentially distorting our perception of time.

 
The book begins by establishing the historical and biblical context of the event in Joshua. It then transitions into a detailed examination of atmospheric refraction, explaining how it works and how it might have affected the perception of time during Joshua's battle. Theoretical models and meteorological principles are applied to the biblical narrative.

 
This approach allows for a balanced perspective, appealing to those interested in Science and Religion, and those engaged in Biblical Prophecy.

 
The analysis culminates in a discussion of the implications of either validating or refuting a scientific basis for the event. This exploration touches upon the ongoing debates surrounding miracles and offers a nuanced approach to navigating the intersection of scientific and religious explanations.

 
The book encourages informed skepticism and a deeper understanding of both scientific principles and religious beliefs.

    For any sailor, in a yacht or motorboat, the passage from one place to another is relatively easy, particularly with modern navigation equipment. What can be more of a challenge (and a potential source of anxiety for skipper and crew) is the start and end of a passage – how to leave and arrive safely, particularly if it's a cramped marina or crowded anchorage. In Illustrated Seamanship, Ivar Dedekam takes you through the techniques required to achieve a safe departure and arrival. Starting with the fundamentals of ropework he then moves on to manoeuvring, berthing, making fast and then leaving. All types of berthing are covered from coming alongside, stern to, bow to, between finger pontoons and using piles and buoys. There is advice about dealing with different wind and current directions as well as using springs. Ivar then turns to anchoring and offers guidance on setting and weighing anchor in many different circumstances: under sail and under power, using one or two anchors and coping with changes in wind and tide while anchored. You probably won't experience all the scenarios that Ivar so carefully describes, but you will certainly come across quite a few. Knowing what to do when a new situation comes up could be invaluable, increasing your confidence and leading to greater enjoyment and use of your boat. With over 500 diagrams, this slim volume is a perfect reminder of frequently used techniques and could be your get-out-of-jail card when a new circumstance arises. This new edition has an improved layout and the eBook's functionality has been improved significantly.
