Sinopsis

Unrealistic Movie Physics explores the fascinating gap between Hollywood's portrayal of physics and the reality of scientific laws. The book examines how filmmakers often bend or break these laws to enhance drama and action, resulting in scenes that defy possibility. For instance, the book might explore how explosions in films are often far larger and more destructive than what physics would allow or analyze the impossibility of characters surviving falls from extreme heights without injury.

 
The book uses a blend of qualitative analysis of film scenes and quantitative calculations to highlight these discrepancies. It progresses from introducing fundamental physics concepts like gravity and momentum to analyzing specific cinematic tropes such as exaggerated explosions and impossible stunts. It also considers how these unrealistic portrayals impact audience perception and expectations, encouraging viewers to think critically about the science they see on screen.

 
Ultimately, Unrealistic Movie Physics offers a unique perspective on both film and physics, fostering critical thinking and a deeper appreciation for scientific accuracy. By dissecting the physics of cinema, it encourages viewers to distinguish between plausible portrayals and pure fantasy, enhancing their understanding of both the art of filmmaking and the fundamental principles of the universe.

Becoming Free Indeed - My Story...

Jinger Vuolo, Corey Williams

Read by the author.
New York Times Bestseller on disentangling faith but keep your belief in Jesus intact. Jinger Vuolo, the sixth child in the famous Duggar family of TLC's 19 Kids and Counting and Counting On, recounts how she began to question the unhealthy ideology of her youth and learned to embrace true freedom in Christ.
When Jinger Duggar Vuolo was growing up, she was convinced that obeying the rules was the key to success and God's favor. She zealously promoted the Basic Life Principles of Bill Gothard,fastidiously obeying the modesty guidelines (no shorts or jeans, only dresses),eagerly submitting to the umbrella of authority (any disobedience of parents would place her outside God's protection), promoting the relationship standard of courtship, andavoiding any music with a worldly beat, among others.
Jinger, along with three of her sisters, wrote a New York Times bestseller about their religious convictions. She believed this level of commitment would guarantee God's blessing, even though in private she felt constant fear that she wasn't measuring up to the high standards demanded of her.
In Becoming Free Indeed, Jinger shares how in her early twenties, a new family member—a brother-in-law who didn't grow up in the same tight-knit conservative circle as Jinger—caused her to examine her beliefs. He was committed to the Bible, but he didn't believe many of the things Jinger had always assumed were true. His influence, along with the help of a pastor named Jeremy Vuolo, caused Jinger to see that her life was built on rules, not God's Word.
Jinger committed to studying the Bible—truly understanding it—for the first time. What resulted was an earth-shaking realization: much of what she'd always believed about God, obedience to His Word, and personal holiness wasn't in-line with what the Bible teaches.
Now with a renewed faith of personal conviction, Becoming Free Indeed shares what it was like living under the tenants of Bill Gothard, the Biblical truth that changed her perspective, and how she disentangled her faith with her belief in Jesus intact.

Exodus: The Shanghai Jews

Kate McAll

As Jews tried to escape Nazi Germany in the 1930s, they faced unthinkable roadblocks in obtaining exit visas. And while they were denied entry in one country after another, a bureaucratic oddity enabled some of them to flee to an unlikely destination: Shanghai, China.  
 
In this LATW original commission, playwright Kate McAll used the survivors’ own words to create a narrative of people starting their lives over in a completely new land.
