Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inventive study of relations between the National Guard and the Regular Army during World War II, Guard Wars follows the Pennsylvania National Guard's 28th Infantry Division from its peacetime status through training and into combat in Western Europe. The broader story, spanning the years 1939--1945, sheds light on the National Guard, the U.S. Army, and American identities and priorities during the war years. Michael E. Weaver carefully tracks the division's difficult transformation into a combat-ready unit and highlights General Omar Bradley's extraordinary capacity for leadership -- which turned the Pennsylvanians from the least capable to one of the more capable units, a claim dearly tested in the Battle of the HÃ1⁄4rtgen Forest. This absorbing and informative analysis chronicles the nation's response to the extreme demands of a world war, and the flexibility its leaders and soldiers displayed in the chaos of combat.

Download or read book I Carried a Bloody Bucket on My Shoulder written by Thomas Floyd and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-06-12 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WWII Veteran, Thomas Floyd, Jr., describes surviving the Battle of the Bulge. His frozen boots struggled through chest high snow to remove the swastika from the flag at German Headquarters. Thomas Floyd joined the army in 1943. He trained with the 66th Infantry Division. Due to the casualties from Normandy, and the battle of the hedgerows, replacements were needed. Thomas was sent into the 28th Infantry Division as a replacement. The 28th Division was originally a Pennsylvania Guard unit known as the Keystone Division. Their patch was a red keystone. As a result of their victorious experiences in battle, the Germans referred to their division as the "Blutiger Eimer," meaning "Bloody Bucket," due to its shape and color. The Bloody Bucket became a name associated with pride for the men who fought in their Division. They served in two of the toughest battles in which the Americans were engaged in the European Theatre: Hurtgen Forest and the Battle of the Bulge. For their part in the Battle of the Bulge, the 112th Regimental Combat Team (in which Thomas Floyd served) was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation. Col. Floyd, serving twenty-seven years, also received two Bronze Stars, the European Theater Medal with four Campaign Stars, the American Campaign, American Defense, Good Conduct, and the Combat Infantryman's Badge. Members of the 28th Division are also entitled to wear a number of foreign awards.

Download or read book Singleness written by Michal Glowala and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2016-06-20 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is a systematic study of the issue of self-individuation in the scholastic debate on principles of individuation (principia individuationis). The point of departure is a general formulation of the problem of individuation acceptable for all the participants of the scholastic debate: a principle of individuation of x is what makes x individual (in various possible senses of ‘making something individual’). The book argues against a prima facie plausible view that everything that is individual is individual by itself and not by anything distinct from it (Strong Self-Individuation Thesis). The keynote topic of the book is a detailed analysis of the two competing ways of rejecting the Strong Self-Individuation Thesis: the Scotistic and the Thomistic one. The book defends the latter one, discussing a number of issues concerning substantial and accidental forms, essences, properties, instantiation, the Thomistic notion of materia signata, Frege’s Begriff-Gegenstand distinction, and Geach’s form-function analogy developed in his writings on Aquinas. In the context of both the scholastic and contemporary metaphysics, the book offers a framework for dealing with issues of individuality and defends a Thomistic theory of individuation.

Book excerpt: Amidst the darkest days of antiquity, mankind discovers a new kind of hero: a necromancer born of gods and men. For thousands of years, mankind warred without magic. Peculiar abilities were buried in history along with the storied paladins and the mysterious dark elves who rarely ventured into human towns. That all changes at the end of the Tranquility Era, when a young man named Ashton accidentally raises his murdered best friend Clayton from the grave. Because of his mistake, Ashton becomes the focus of manhunts, armies, and the King’s judgement, but Ashton is not the biggest problem in the Kingdom of Surdel. The golden age of man is coming to a close and enemies surround the civilized world. Lulled into a false sense of security by isolation and pervasive peace, human lords hatch petty schemes to weaken their rivals and gain favor with the throne. Meanwhile, an ancient darkness stirs beneath the Great Northern Mountains and the orcish hordes grow restless just beyond the Southern Peaks. Out of the chaos at the end of the Tranquility Era, a new breed of hero arrives to forge an age of sorcery and mayhem. And into this chaos comes the Necromancer!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can the fine-grained phenomenology of conscious experience arise from neural processes in the brain? How does a set of action potentials (nerve impulses) become like the feeling of pain in one's experience? Contemporary neuroscience is teaching us that our mental states correlate with neural processes in the brain. However, although we know that experience arises from a physical basis, we don't have a good explanation of why and how it so arises. The problem of how physical processes give rise to experience is called the 'hard problem' of consciousness and it is the contemporary manifestation of the mind-body problem. This book explains the key concepts that surround the issue as well as the nature of the hard problem and the several approaches to it. It gives a comprehensive treatment of the phenomenon incorporating its main metaphysical and epistemic aspects, as well as recent empirical findings, such as the phenomenon of blindsight, change blindness, visual-form agnosia and optic ataraxia, mirror recognition in other primates, split-brain cases and synaesthesia.

Book excerpt: Red Panda: Biology and Conservation of the First Panda provides a broad-based overview of the biology of the red panda, Ailurus fulgens. A carnivore that feeds almost entirely on vegetable material and is colored chestnut red, chocolate brown and cream rather than the expected black and white. This book gathers all the information that is available on the red panda both from the field and captivity as well as from cultural aspects, and attempts to answer that most fundamental of questions, "What is a red panda?" Scientists have long focused on the red panda's controversial taxonomy. Is it in fact an Old World procyonid, a very strange bear or simply a panda? All of these hypotheses are addressed in an attempt to classify a unique species and provide an in-depth look at the scientific and conservation-based issues urgently facing the red panda today. Red Panda not only presents an overview of the current state of our knowledge about this intriguing species but it is also intended to bring the red panda out of obscurity and into the spotlight of public attention. - Wide-ranging account of the red panda (Ailurus fulgens) covers all the information that is available on this species both in and ex situ - Discusses the status of the species in the wild, examines how human activities impact on their habitat, and develops projections to translate this in terms of overall panda numbers - Reports on status in the wild, looks at conservation issues and considers the future of this unique species - Includes contributions from long-standing red panda experts as well as those specializing in fields involving cutting-edge red panda research.

Download or read book Alexander Fighting Elleck Hays written by Wayne Mahood and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-06-08 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although he never achieved the renown of Ulysses S. Grant or Robert E. Lee, General Alexander Hays was one of the great military men of the Civil War. Born July 8, 1819, in Franklin, Pennsylvania, Hays graduated from West Point and served with distinction during the Mexican War. When the Civil War began a few years later, it was no surprise that Hays immediately volunteered and was given the initial rank of colonel with a later meritorious promotion to general. Hays was also known for his concern for his men, a fact that no doubt contributed to the acclaim which he received after his death on May 5, 1864, at the age of 44. From West Point to the Civil War, this biography takes a look at Hays's life, concentrating--with good cause--on his military career. Personal correspondence and contemporary sources are used to complete the picture of a complex man, devoted husband and father, and gifted and dedicated soldier.
