The Greek and Macedonian Art of War

By: Frank E. Adcock

This informal history traces battle tactics and military strategy from the time of the city-states' phalanxes of spearmen to the far-reaching combined operations of specialized land and sea forces in the Hellenistic Age. The author first describes the attitude of the Greek city-state toward war, and shows the military conventions and strategies associated with it. He then recounts how the art of war gradually evolved into new forms through the contributions of such men as the great commander Epaminondas, Philip of Macedon, his son Alexander the Great, and others. He also discusses the independence of land and sea power, describes the first use of calvary, and tells of the ingenious Greek devices of siegecraft, including the "fifth column." This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1962.

Ge Organogermanium Compounds

Part 2: Ge(CH3)3R and Ge(C2H5)3R Compounds

By: Frank Glockling

The significance of organometallic chemistry has constantly increased during the second half of this century. The Gmelin Institute recognizes this fact in publishing an entire series on organometallic compounds. This series has now started with the description of the organogermanium compounds. The present second volume in the organogermanium series continues the description of Ge(CH3)3R compounds, beginning with R=alkenyl and concluding with R=heterocycle. The remaining part of the volume covers completely the type Ge(C2H5)3R, which is the most voluminous of the GeR3R compounds. The volume concludes with an empirical formula index.
