DR WALTER KELLERMANN - A PHYSICIST'S LABOURS IN WAR AND PEACE ISBN: 1904985092
The book is a tour de force of a ‘real‘ scientist‘s life. Dr Kellerman has had the privilege of associating with some of the big names in Physics during the 20th century, and he merges skillfully the description of his life in science with his ‘life‘. Kellermann's account makes fascinating reading, describing the frustrations and aspirations of a physicist who was not centre stage, but moved among a cast of famous names. These included not only Max Born and Patrick Blackett, but also Klaus Fuchs, best known as a spy. The book also presents a revealing view of the British university system, with some alarming examples of racism, in particular in the 1930s and 1940s when departments were keen to keep down the number of refugees.

ISBN13: 9780955606496 ISBN10: 0955606497 A casual walk through Silsden shows it to be a thriving town with a few shops, pubs and other amenities, and yet it has not always been as it now appears. Even as early as 1939, official surveyors were working their way through the streets checking bridge loadings, road widths and buildings. At the time these engineers may have seemed a curiosity for the local residents. However in the early 1940s various army trucks started to arrive in the town followed by a constant stream of troops from a variety of regiments whose tasks became apparent as the war progressed. For Silsden, its residents and the wider area bordering the Yorkshire moors were to see soldiers train and prepare for the Normandy landings. Curiously, the part these soldiers played in Silsden life, on D-Day and through the remaining war years has hitherto been unrecorded. This oversight has been addressed by a local, former soldier who has painstakingly contacted local residents and some soldiers who were stationed in the area during the war. This fascinating account places the various buildings occupied by troops and their vehicles and even traces evidence of curbside tank damage still evident today.

ISBN: 9781905823086 Every once in a while, a book comes along that stops you in your tracks, shocking both through the impact of its very difficult subject matter and your awareness of the courage that it must take to approach and write such a work. In Magical Sense, we have a book that is brave and human in almost every way. Dealing with the heartbreaking trauma of living with Multiple Sclerosis, Sue effortlessly invites us into her world as she talks to us about her background and the most recent four years of her life with this little-understood condition. The book works on many levels but it is clearly the heartfelt, gut wrenching and deeply personal account of a talented, bright and successful woman with a very full and gregarious life. Her professional achievements included co-founding a mainstream market research company followed by one that specialised in broadcasting research and then another focusing on children’s markets - all of which she had to leave behind due to ill health. On the positive side, this gave her more time for her loving family; on the negative, it meant that they too had to come to terms with her gradually deteriorating condition as the years passed. This is also the story of Sue’s battles with the disease’s symptoms and the psychological challenges that come with them - and of an increasing sense of isolation that even her own loving family and friends can barely alleviate. Written primarily as a narrative, the book is also a pragmatic source of help for others who are suffering in the same way. Magical Sense is funny – and also occasionally maudlin, angry, and even self-righteous. Part poetry, part diary monologue, it catches the painful monotony of this condition as she relentlessly explores every avenue of treatment. Sue’s quietly determined voice talks us through the highs and lows of the treatments, many of which she has sought out for herself - and we are with her at her darkest and her brightest moments.
