A battle for the top of the Billboard charts pits Shuichi against his favorite idol, Sakuma Ryuichi--now his biggest rival! As the spotlight intensifies and tensions rise, Yuki suddenly leaves for New York. Left behind, will Shuichi move on to someone else?

A sequel to the shonen-ai manga series featuring members of the Bad Luck band. Author Eiri Yuki and his lover, vocalist Shuichi Shindou, travel to New York to visit the grave of Yuki's first love, but once there, they make a startling discovery.

Determined to become a rock star, Shuichi Shindou is discouraged by some harsh criticism he receives, and must find the strength to overcome his fears and keep trying.

Just when Shuichi's rock star dreams are becoming a reality, it all starts to fall apart. His gifted guitarist quits the band, the new manager wants to move him off the keyboards, and the producer is constantly berating him. The one person he can fall back on in this time of crisis is also his greatest critic--Yuki.

Rockstar wannabe Shindo Shuichi is determined to top the charts with his best friend and their rising band. But Shuichi's ego takes a hit when a handsome romance novelist, Yuki Eiri, bashes his lyrics. As Shuichi attempts to make Yuki eat his words, he unexpectedly develops a crush on the harsh critic--and the cold and prickly Yuki even seems to like him back! As they continue to gravitate toward each other, Shuichi discovers that success in the music biz may cost him his very soul.

This text provides a quantitative introduction to general relativity for advanced undergraduate and graduate students.

Untie the string and unwrap the brown paper to reveal . . . Journal 3 Limited Edition! This 288-page book contains all of the content of the regular edition, plus all-new top-secret black light pages on real parchment; a cover with leather texture and shiny metallic pieces; a magnifying glass; a tassel bookmark; and removable photos and notes. This $150 limited edition will also include a signed note from the creator of Gravity Falls and co-writer of Journal 3, Alex Hirsch himself.

Covering all aspects of gravitation in a contemporary style, this advanced textbook is ideal for graduate students and researchers in all areas of theoretical physics. The 'Foundation' section develops the formalism in six chapters, and uses it in the next four chapters to discuss four key applications - spherical spacetimes, black holes, gravitational waves and cosmology. The six chapters in the 'Frontier' section describe cosmological perturbation theory, quantum fields in curved spacetime, and the Hamiltonian structure of general relativity, among several other advanced topics, some of which are covered in-depth for the first time in a textbook. The modular structure of the book allows different sections to be combined to suit a variety of courses. Over 200 exercises are included to test and develop the reader's understanding. There are also over 30 projects, which help readers make the transition from the book to their own original research.

This book describes a paradigm change in modern physics from the philosophy and mathematical expression of the quantum theory to those of general relativity. The approach applies to all domains - from elementary particles to cosmology. The change is from the positivistic views in which atomism, nondeterminism and measurement are fundamental, to a holistic view in realism, wherein matter - electrons, galaxies, - are correlated modes of a single continuum, the universe. A field that unifies electromagnetism, gravity and inertia is demonstrated explicitly, with new predictions, in terms of quaternion and spinor field equations in a curved spacetime. Quantum mechanics emerges as a linear, flatspace approximation for the equations of inertia in general relativity.

A collection of reviews by prominent researchers in cosmology, relativity and particle physics commemorates the 300th anniversary of Newton's Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica.
