Reading list
- The Silmarillion (still)
- The Importance of Being Earnest (still – I lost it two weeks ago)
- Start Taking Great Landscape Photographs
- Better Picture Guide to Portrait Photography
- Landscapes (Camera Craft series)
- Photographing Landscapes and Gardens
- Learning Python (O’Reilly)
- Advanced Physics (Oxford University Press)
- The Shadow at Evening (yet again – looking forward to book three with more eagerness than HP6, and I’ve read the first draft. Why Tyndale count it as teen fiction I do not know. One reviewer speculates similarly.)
- Systematic Theology – Wayne Grudem’s tome is fascinating if long.
- Flanimals – after Grudem I need something lighter.

It is standard practice when talking about academic books to refer to a book by the author’s name, e.g. “in Stuart and Tall, p. 67…”. The title would be given in the appendix.
There must be dozens of books called Physics, even out of those published by OUP.

Mr E
For “appendix” read “bibliography”.

Mr E, Matthew’s not an academic. And it would just be a hassle if his blog had an appendix.

My point was that referring to the book “Physics” is not helpful. There must be dozens of books with this title. He could have written: Physics (Smith and Jones) or something.

…especially as I actually misremembered the title. It’s Advanced Physics, the only one of its kind from OUP. I remembered that it was the only book with its title, then forgot the title…

Think i had a flick through that in the library (where i’m guessing you saw it too) for physics revision. Thought it was pretty good.

There are many books with the title Historical Linguistics. I one day intend to write the parody, Hysterical Linguistics.

Find a university that will accept it as a PhD thesis and you’re sorted, really.
Owen: I actually managed to find it on Amazon. At the time I bought it it was the only A level physics text book with only positive reviews.
