Download or read book Ice Steel and Fire written by Linda Parker and published by Helion and Company. This book was released on 2013-07-19 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The generation that reached maturity in the inter war years had grown up in the shadow of the heroic age of Polar exploration and the sacrifices of a generation in the Great War. Their own adventures were to prove as astonishing and heroic as those of a previous generation. The members of the British Arctic air route expedition to Greenland, including Martin Lindsay, Quintin Riley and Freddie Spencer Chapman, were to pioneer the weather research methods necessary for Trans-Atlantic Flight. The university expeditions to Spitsbergen led by George Binney in the 1920s and Sandy Glen in the 1930s traversed and surveyed unexplored ground and contributed to developments in polar flight and radar. Glen's expeditions added to the knowledge of Arctic conditions by over-wintering. Other pre-war exploits of these adventurers included a voyage around the world the wrong way, and participation in the British Graham Land Antarctic expedition. Peter Fleming, brother to the creator of James Bond - Ian Fleming - spent the 1930s exploring Brazil, China and Tartary. Fleming's exploits are recounted in detail in this book. The character, skills and endurance obtained in these years set these adventurers and explorers apart as men who were to play a distinguished and heroic role in the Second World War. Their expertise in Arctic conditions, small boat handling, and exploring in all climatic conditions resulted in their participation in all aspects of warfare and arenas of battle, particularly as exponents of 'special operations', and as key members of Britain's first special forces. Their war service took them from the fjords of Norway and Spitsbergen to the jungles of Burma and Malaya and the beaches of Normandy and Italy. They were involved in blockade running, covert operations in Yugoslavia, Corsica and France and took part in major initiatives such as Ian Fleming's Intelligence gathering force, No 30 Assault unit, and the raid on St Nazaire. Most of these men had known each other before war came in 1939. In some cases they ended up serving alongside one another in wartime. The intertwined stories of these characters in peace and war are examples of how the spirit of adventure shown by men in the inter war years contributed to Britain's outstanding role in the Second World War. Linda Parker has written an important study that is equally relevant to both the history of British exploration and the genesis and early days of Britain's special forces 1939-45 - a quite unique and hitherto unexamined relationship. Linda Parker combines teaching History on a part time basis with her writing, and is currently completing a PhD at Birmingham University. Her main areas of interest are 20th Century Military History, Church History and the History of Polar exploration. She is a member of the Western Front Association. She was born and educated in Wales, but now lives in Oxfordshire with her husband and their dog. She enjoys walking and travelling, ideally together, and her ambition is to visit Antarctica. Her first book published by Helion was The Whole Armour of God: Anglican Army Chaplains in the Great War (2009).
Download or read book The Strait written by Robert Melley and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2005-12-29 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE STRAIT is a novel about Al Queda linked terrorists planning to sink super tankers in the Strait of Malacca. It is an action/adventure novel written by a man who’s carefully researched his subject and is very familiar with the US Navy’s newest ships, weapons systems and tactics. The plot’s right out of today’s headline news i.e., the real threat of the sinking of a fully loaded super tanker in the narrow choke point of one of the world’s busiest waterways, the Strait of Malacca. Desperate for funds since their traditional sources dried up, Islamic terrorists based in Southeast Asia decide to attack oil tankers to force Gulf nations friendly to the west to pay millions of dollars in tribute to keep their ships safe from attack. The terrorist leader, El Shaba, the Ghost, has issued a call for terrorists groups in the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia to join him and unite millions of Muslims in Southeast Asia under his banner. The US counters his move by sending the USS Virginia, a new stealthy nuclear powered attack submarine and the new Advanced Seal Delivery System (ASDS), a mini-sub, which carries a SEAL Team in a safe, dry environment into the enemy’s shallow water littoral area. Her top-secret mission is the assassination of the leaders of three terrorist groups. The killers are three CIA agents, well trained in “black ops.” One’s a raven-haired Asian beauty with nine confirmed “kills” to her credit. In the course of the mission the USS Virginia uses her stealth and new sonar systems to track a Chinese sub sent to disrupt a US Carrier Strike Group’s exercises in the South China Sea and halts a Chinese effort to occupy offshore oil platforms of a US ally. With the help of a Mossad agent, the CIA agents land in Indonesia. The plot of THE STRAIT leaps from today’s headlines and holds the reader’s attention from the first page until the last. The story’s fast paced and the actions straight forward. The book has been well received by several high ranking US naval officers and uses the navy’s newest weapons to their best advantage.
Download or read book Mapping the Darkness written by Kenneth Miller and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2023-10-03 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023 BY THE NEW YORKER NEW YORK TIMES EDITOR'S CHOICE SELECTION "A propulsive, utterly engrossing history... None of it is simple and all of it is captivating."—The New York Times "Mapping the Darkness offers two narratives at once: a sweeping journey of discovery about dreams, sleep and the terra incognita of unconsciousness; and a wake-up call about the dangers of chronic exhaustion. It’s time, Mr. Miller tells us, to take our sleep back."—The Wall Street Journal From award-winning journalist Kenneth Miller comes the definitive story of the scientists who set out to answer two questions: “Why do we sleep?” and "How can we sleep better?” A century ago, sleep was considered a state of nothingness—even a primitive habit that we could learn to overcome. Then, an immigrant scientist and his assistant spent a month in the depths of a Kentucky cave, making nationwide headlines and thrusting sleep science to the forefront of our consciousness. In the 1920s, Nathaniel Kleitman founded the world’s first dedicated sleep lab at the University of Chicago, where he subjected research participants (including himself) to a dizzying array of tests and tortures. But the tipping point came in 1938, when his cave experiment awakened the general public to the unknown—and vital—world of sleep. Kleitman went on to mentor the talented but troubled Eugene Aserinsky, whose discovery of REM sleep revealed the astonishing activity of the dreaming brain, and William Dement, a jazz-bass playing revolutionary who became known as the father of sleep medicine. Dement, in turn, mentored the brilliant maverick Mary Carskadon, who uncovered an epidemic of sleep deprivation among teenagers, and launched a global movement to fight it. Award-winning journalist Kenneth Miller weaves together science and history to tell the story of four outsider scientists who took sleep science from fringe discipline to mainstream obsession through spectacular experiments, technological innovation, and single-minded commitment. Readers will walk away with a comprehensive understanding of sleep and why it affects so much of our lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policing Gangs in America describes the assumptions, issues, problems, and events that characterize, shape, and define the police response to gangs in America today. The focus of this 2006 book is on the gang unit officers themselves and the environment in which they work. A discussion of research, statistical facts, theory, and policy with regard to gangs, gang members, and gang activity is used as a backdrop. The book is broadly focused on describing how gang units respond to community gang problems, and answers such questions as: why do police agencies organize their responses to gangs in certain ways? Who are the people who elect to police gangs? How do they make sense of gang members - individuals who spark fear in most citizens? What are their jobs really like? What characterizes their working environment? How do their responses to the gang problem fit with other policing strategies, such as community policing?
