At the tender age of 16, Canadian Will Miles enlisted to fight in the Great War. Through his letters, Will revealed a harrowing time spent in the trenches. There he battled Flanders mud, lice, hunger and poison gas. Juxtaposed among these horrors was a teenager wanting leave for a good time in London. In a narrative compiled by his two sons, Will's story reveals the universal and personal aspects of a soldier's life in the war that set the stage for the rest of the 20th century." -- back cover.
This book contains a discussion, with a new perspective, on the old string-theory problems. With respect to where all those extra dimensions are, we need to make the theory work mathematically. It has been said by many scientists that we may need to look at the string-theory problem with a fresh perspective or find new ways of thinking to resolve its challenges. Let's have a little fun with open minds and a new way of looking into reality with our imaginations turned on as we discuss possible new solutions to resolving the string-theory challenges. Exercising the mind is one way to look into things that are out of the reach of direct experimentation. Einstein utilized the thought experiments to revolutionize modern physics by means of imagination, insight, and logic. This discussion proceeds in a language that anyone can follow, regardless of background. This is an intuitive discussion, with respect to known and accepted foundational science principles, focused on solving the string-theory challenges.

Imprinted on license plates, plastered on billboards, stamped on the tail side of the state quarter, and inscribed on the state map, the peach is easily Georgia's most visible symbol. Yet Prunus persica itself is surprisingly rare in Georgia, and it has never been central to the southern agricultural economy. Why, then, have southerners - and Georgians in particular - clung to the fruit? The Georgia Peach: Culture, Agriculture, and Environment in the American South shows that the peach emerged as a viable commodity at a moment when the South was desperate for a reputation makeover. This agricultural success made the fruit an enduring cultural icon despite the increasing difficulties of growing it. A delectable contribution to the renaissance in food writing, The Georgia Peach will be of great interest to connoisseurs of food, southern, environmental, rural, and agricultural history.
At the end of World War I, the U.S. Army 339th Infantry--nicknamed the "Polar Bears"--was deployed to northern Russia to prevent Allied supplies stockpiled near the port city of Archangel from falling into the hands of the Bolsheviks. Drawing on firsthand accounts from men in the regiment, their 18-month campaign is narrated from the point of view of the riflemen, NCOs and officers of companies I and M. Each chapter highlights an individual soldier's experience fighting the Red Army and the Arctic winter, a quarter century before the Cold War.
