Dear Folks

A Soldier's Letters Home 1941-1961

By: Carol E. Yorke

Before computers and the internet, letter writing was a labor of love. They could make you laugh or cry, holding untold mysteries within a quaint, many-times-over postmarked envelope. When the letter writer is a strapping lad of twenty-four who is blind in one eye and gets into the Army by faking the eye test, his letters home span the hysterically funny to the downright absurd. Meet Hal, Harold W. Yorke, Jr., a tall young man with coal black hair, a strikingly pale moustache, tanned complexion, and intelligent blue eyes that speak volumes. What started as a lark, turns into an interesting career in the Army spanning twenty years. The military took him all over the United States and to exotic locales like Korea and Puerto Rico. Hal’s journey of sepia-tinted World War II memories relates how he makes do with a not-so-handsome salary, yet his sharp mind and will to succeed has him fixing cars and planes, as well as just about anything broken that needs repairs during wartime. His letter home on how to score a cake from the base kitchen without getting caught is hilarious, while his letter about a terrifying fire will chill hearts. Presented by his daughter in this nostalgic compilation, each day in the military produced something new for Hal, and all those outpourings are captured as if on cellulose.

Brain Attack

By: Carol E. Yorke

Fifteen million people worldwide suffer strokes each year. Five million die and another five million are permanently disabled. While recovering from a major stroke in 2009, the author, a successful certified public accountant, grew to understand how much her positive attitude helped her cope and ultimately accept the significant losses brought on by her stroke. Focusing on the positive effects of optimism in her own recovery, she shares the valuable techniques she uses to maintain her can-do attitude, so other stroke survivors can use them for their own journey of recovery. Carol E. Yorke wrote this book so others can better understand strokes and the potential devastation that they can wreak on so many lives. Focusing on the positive effects of optimism, the author shares what has helped her to survive and thrive. She truly believes “every day is a new discovery.”

Compounds with Rare Gases and Hydrogen

By: Jörn v. Jouanne,Vera Haase,Hannelore Keller-Rudek,Dieter Koschel,Peter Kuhn,Peter Merlet,Ulrike Ohms-Bredemann,Joachim Wagner,Hildegard List,Astrid Wietelmann,Sigrid Ruprecht,Carol Strametz

Some years ago the Gmelin Institute started to supplement the volumes on halogens and halogen compounds. For the elements chlorine and fluorine these supplementary volumes have already been finished. For the element bromine the volume A 1 is also available. Now the volume B 1 will be published starting with the description of the compounds of bromine. The present volume describes the compounds of bromine with rare gases and with hydrogen. The volume is dominated by the description of HBr and its aqueous solution, hydrobromic acid. Chemical and physical properties of the diatomic molecule HBr are extremely well studied by modern methods. Thus detailed descriptions are given of gas-phase properties, spectra, and properties of condensed phases. Emphasis is laid on elementary reaction processes such as energy transfer and single reaction steps for HBr formation and decomposition. These studies have become classics of modern reaction kinetics. Likewise, elementary reactions of HBr and Br- with nonmetallic compounds are described comprehensively.
