Invisible Forces and Powerful Beliefs: Gravity, Gods, and Minds
It’s time for science and religion to stop shouting at each other and start talking with each other. This book leads the way. It is the result of an extraordinary ongoing conversation among a group of highly respected scientists, physicians, philosophers, and theologians. Together, they share profound insights into the deepest questions humans ask and explore the invisible forces and powerful beliefs that shape our lives.

Disney Educational - Bill Nye The Science Guy - Gravity
Gravity is a constant force affecting many aspects of our lives, but people seldom think of it. It is the reason the Earth, the moon, and other objects in the solar system are round. In Bill Nye the Science Guy: Gravity, the "standup scientist" talks about the importance of understanding the force that keeps mankind firmly on the ground.
"Physical Geodesy", published in 1967, has for many years been considered as the standard introduction to its field. The enormous progress since then has required a complete reworking. While basic material has been retained other parts are completely updated. However, there is a seamless welding of new ideas and methods (GPS, satellites, collocation). Highlights include: emphasis on global integration of geometry and gravity, a simplified approach to Molodensky's theory without integral equations, and a general combination of all geodetic data by least-squares collocation. In the second edition minor mistakes have been corrected.
