Lost Over Laos

A True Story Of Tragedy, Mystery, And Friendship

By: Richard Pyle,Horst Faas

In 1971, as American forces hastened their withdrawal from Vietnam, a helicopter was hit by enemy fire over Laos and exploded in a fireball, killing four top combat photographers, Larry Burrows of Life magazine, Henri Huet of Associated Press, Kent Potter of United Press International, and Keisaburo Shimamoto of Newsweek. The Saigon press corps and the American public were stunned, but the remoteness of the location made a recovery attempt impossible. When the war ended four years later in a communist victory, the war zone was sealed off to outsiders, and the helicopter incident faded from most memories. Yet two journalists from the Vietnam press corps -- Richard Pyle, former Saigon Bureau Chief, and Horst Faas, Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer in Vietnam-pledged to return some day to Laos, resolve mysteries about the crash, and pay homage to their lost friends. True to their vow, twenty-seven years after the incident the authors joined a U.S. team excavating the hillside where the helicopter crashed. Few human remains were found, but camera parts and bits of film provided eerie proof of what happened there.The narrative of Lost Over Laos is framed in a period that was among the war's bloodiest, for both the military and the media, yet has received relatively little attention from historians. It is rich with behind-the-scenes anecdotes about the Saigon press corps and illustrated with stunning work by the four combat photographers who died and their colleagues.

Common Fragrance and Flavor Materials

Preparation, Properties and Uses

By: Horst Surburg,Johannes Panten

This 6th edition is thoroughly revised and updated, and now additionally includes all commercially important flavor and fragrance materials that entered the market over the past 10 years. In one handy and up-to-date source, this classic reference surveys those natural and synthetic materials that are commercially available, produced, and used on a relatively large scale, covering their properties, manufacturing methods employed, and areas of application. For this new edition the chapter on essential oils has been completely revised with regard to production volumes, availability, and new product specifications, while new legal issues, such as REACH regulation aspects, are now included. Finally, the CAS registry numbers and physicochemical data of over 350 single substances and 100 essential oils have been updated and revised.

Security Architecture for Hybrid Cloud

By: Mark Buckwell,Stefaan Van daele,Carsten Horst

As the transformation to hybrid multicloud accelerates, businesses require a structured approach to securing their workloads. Adopting zero trust principles demands a systematic set of practices to deliver secure solutions. Regulated businesses, in particular, demand rigor in the architectural process to ensure the effectiveness of security controls and continued protection. This book provides the first comprehensive method for hybrid multicloud security, integrating proven architectural techniques to deliver a comprehensive end-to-end security method with compliance, threat modeling, and zero trust practices. This method ensures repeatability and consistency in the development of secure solution architectures. Architects will learn how to effectively identify threats and implement countermeasures through a combination of techniques, work products, and a demonstrative case study to reinforce learning. You'll examine: The importance of developing a solution architecture that integrates security for clear communication Roles that security architects perform and how the techniques relate to nonsecurity subject matter experts How security solution architecture is related to design thinking, enterprise security architecture, and engineering How architects can integrate security into a solution architecture for applications and infrastructure using a consistent end-to-end set of practices How to apply architectural thinking to the development of new security solutions About the authors Mark Buckwell is a cloud security architect at IBM with 30 years of information security experience. Carsten Horst with more than 20 years of experience in Cybersecurity is a certified security architect and Associate Partner at IBM. Stefaan Van daele has 25 years experience in Cybersecurity and is a Level 3 certified security architect at IBM.

Common Fragrance and Flavor Materials

Preparation, Properties and Uses

By: Kurt Bauer,Dorothea Garbe,Horst Surburg

Get a good start in flavor and fragrance chemistry! This book presents a survey of those natural and synthetic fragrance and flavor materials which are isolated and produced commercially on a relatively large scale because of their organoleptic characteristics. It provides information on their properties, methods employed in their manufacture, and their areas of application. '...The excellent and concise introduction to this unique industry is followed by extensive information on nearly 500 of the most used fragrance and flavor compounds. Names, molecular formula, physical data, odor and flavor descriptions, uses, and a number of processes for the larger volume chemicals are all included. Successive chapters deal with essential oils, animal secretions, quality control, toxicology and literature. The formula, name and CAS registry number index is an invaluable and timely addition.' Parfumer and Flavorist '...This book provides a lot of useful information in one place, and it is an especially good resource for somebody just entering the flavor and fragrance industry.' Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 'You'll find much information in this book not found in other works.' Foster's Herb Business Bulletin 'Particularly useful for natural product chemists, those in the product development and the curious.' Herbalgram
