Book excerpt: A history of the First World War told through the letters exchanged by ordinary British soldiers and their families.??Letters from the Trenches reveals how people really thought and felt during the conflict and covers all social classes and groups Ð from officers to conscripts and women at home to conscientious objectors.??Voices within the book include Sergeant John Adams, 9th Royal Irish Fusiliers, who wrote in May 1917:'For the day we get our letter from home is a red Letter day in the history of the soldier out here. It is the only way we can hear what is going on. The slender thread between us and the homeland.'??Private Stanley Goodhead, who served with one of the Manchester Pals battalion, wrote home in 1916: 'I came out of the trenches last night after being in 4 days. You have no idea what 4 days in the trenches means...The whole time I was in I had only about 2 hours sleep and that was in snatches on the firing step. What dugouts there are, are flooded with mud and water up to the knees and the rats hold swimming galas in them...We are literally caked with brown mud and it is in all?our food, tea etc.'??Jacqueline Wadsworth skilfully uses these letters to tell the human story of the First World War Ð what mattered to Britain's servicemen and their feelings about the war; how the conflict changed people; and how life continued on the Home Front.

Download or read book The Hodgkiss Mysteries Volume 10 written by Peter Sinclair and published by Sid Harta Publishers. This book was released on 2019-05-01 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hodgkiss and the Deadly Seance Hodgkiss and the Meaningful Message Hodgkiss and the Old Flame Hodgkiss doesn't miss a trick. Three new adventures of that cranky, obnoxious, insufferable but remarkably observant and astute senior citizen. A man who has accumulated incriminating information about members of the notoriously corrupt Kanundda Council dies in mysterious circumstances. Local legend had it that the man kept this information in a black box hidden in his house. Then his wife, who attends a seance to contact her newly departed husband, also dies mysteriously and the contents of the black box disappear. When Hodgkiss becomes involved he soon locates the contents of the box in a most unlikely place. When Kanundda Council's newly-elected mayor is found murdered at his desk there is an apparently meaningless jumble of letters left on the screen of his computer. But when Hodgkiss and his companion, Pat Strong, look into the matter Pat, quite by accident stumbles on the surprising solution that enables them to reveal a killer from the dead mayor's last desperate message. Travelling in the train one day Hodgkiss notices a young girl who bears an uncanny resemblance to a girl he knew years ago. After an awkward meeting they soon realise that there are dark secrets in the girl's family that must be explored and brought into the light no matter what the cost. 'Edgar Hodgkiss is the scourge of the Kanundda Council. Thanks to 'leaks' from within the council, he is awake up to all the rorts, the skullduggery and the point scoring ... on this heavily factionalised council. And when he exposes them in the letters to the editor column of the local free newspaper, The Star, the trouble starts: murder, blackmail, backstabbing - the lot. The stories move quickly, hold your interest and are so easy to read.' - Harvey Grennan, Local Government writer for the Sydney Morning Herald. 'The author's style is charming and clever, with plenty of clues and red herrings to make an enjoyable read for all whodunit fans.' - Robin Fleming, Acres Australia

Download or read book Letters from Rifka written by Karen Hesse and published by Henry Holt and Company (BYR). This book was released on 2009-01-06 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Newbery media winner Karen Hesse comes an unforgettable story of an immigrant family's journey to America. "America," the girl repeated. "What will you do there?" I was silent for a little time. "I will do everything there," I answered. Rifka knows nothing about America when she flees from Russia with her family in 1919. But she dreams that in the new country she will at last be safe from the Russian soldiers and their harsh treatment of the Jews. Throughout her journey, Rifka carries with her a cherished volume of poetry by Alexander Pushkin. In it, she records her observations and experiences in the form of letters to Tovah, the beloved cousin she has left behind. Strong-hearted and determined, Rifka must endure a great deal: humiliating examinations by doctors and soldiers, deadly typhus, separation from all she has ever known and loved, murderous storms at sea, detainment on Ellis Island--and is if this is not enough, the loss of her glorious golden hair. Based on a true story from the author's family, Letters from Rifka presents a real-life heroine with an uncommon courage and unsinkable spirit.
Download or read book Literature 1974 Part 1 written by S. Böhme and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 589 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Astronomy and Astrophysics Abstracts, which has appeared in semi-annual volumes since 1969, is de voted to the recording, summarizing and indexing of astronomical publications throughout the world. It is prepared under the auspices of the International Astronomical Union (according to a resolution adopted at the 14th General Assembly in 1970). Astronomy and Astrophysics Abstracts aims to present a comprehensive documentation of literature in all fields of astronomy and astrophysics. Every effort will be made to ensure that the average time interval between the date of receipt of the original literature and publication of the abstracts will not exceed eight months. This time interval is near to that achieved by monthly abstracting journals, com pared to which our system of accumulating abstracts for about six months offers the advantage of greater convenience for the user. Volume II contains literature published in 1974 and received before August IS, 1974; some older literature which was received late and which is not recorded in earlier volumes is also included. Begin ning with this volume some minor changes of our classification scheme have been made. We acknowledge with thanks contributions to this volume by Dr. J. BouSka, who surveyed journals and publications in the Czech language and supplied us with abstracts in English, and by the Common wealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (C.S.I.R.O.), Sydney, for providing titles and abstracts of papers on radio astronomy.

Book excerpt: This book on Robust Speech Recognition and Understanding brings together many different aspects of the current research on automatic speech recognition and language understanding. The first four chapters address the task of voice activity detection which is considered an important issue for all speech recognition systems. The next chapters give several extensions to state-of-the-art HMM methods. Furthermore, a number of chapters particularly address the task of robust ASR under noisy conditions. Two chapters on the automatic recognition of a speaker's emotional state highlight the importance of natural speech understanding and interpretation in voice-driven systems. The last chapters of the book address the application of conversational systems on robots, as well as the autonomous acquisition of vocalization skills.
