In April 1965, Che Guevara set out clandestinely from Havana to Congo to head a force of some 150 veteran Cuban soldiers to assist the Congolese Patrice Lumumba Battalion, four years after the assassination of the democratically elected socialist president of Congo, Patrice Lumumba. Because this diary deals with what Che admits was a “failure”, he examines every painful detail about what went wrong in order to draw constructive lessons for planned future guerrilla movements.
Unique among his books, Congo Diary gives us Che’s brutal honesty and his story-telling ability as he recounts this fascinating episode of guerrilla warfare unblinkingly and without sugar coating or jargon.
Considered by some to be Che’s best book, it is also one of the few that he had a chance to edit for publication after writing it.
Encyclopedia of Animal Behavior, Second Edition, Four Volume Set

foundation established in the first edition. Updated sections
include Host-parasite interactions, Vertebrate social behavior, and
the introduction of 'overview essays' that boost the book's
comprehensive detail. The structure for the work is modified to
accommodate a better grouping of subjects. Some chapters have been
reshuffled, with section headings combined or modified.

Multi award-winning author Chae Strathie teams up with illustrator
Francis Martin for this fabulously funny story about a feisty
little girl, her toy monkey and the mischievous adventures they get
up to. Francis's vibrant, quirky illustrations bring this story to
life capturing the wonders of the imagination and the chaos that
ensues when Pinkie and Boo get together. Pinkie loves being the
smallest in her family, but the arrival of a baby means everything
is about to change. It seems like the tiny new addition to the
family will get all the attention . . . and Pinkie isn't happy
about that. To cheer her up Mum and Dad give her a lovely toy
monkey called Boo. But it turns out there's much more to him than
meets the eye - at least in Pinkie's imagination. Their outrageous
efforts to regain some attention lead to a whole lot of mess and
mayhem, but everything works out happily in the end

Ferrite Nanostructured Magnetic Materials: Technologies and
Applications provides detailed descriptions of the physical
properties of ferrite nanoparticles and thin films. Synthesis
methods and their applications in numerous fields are also
included. And, since characterization methods play an important
role in investigating the materialsâ phenomena, various
characterization tools applied to ferrite materials are also
discussed. To meet the requirements of next-generation
characterization tools in the field of ferrite research,
synchrotron radiation-based spectroscopic and imaging tools are
thoroughly explored. Finally, the book discusses current and
emerging applications of ferrite nanostructured materials in
industry, health, catalytic and environmental fields, making this
comprehensive resource suitable for researchers and practitioners
in the disciplines of materials science and engineering, chemistry
and physics.
Applications of Nanostructured Ferrites provides an overview of
materials design and characterization of ferrite nanomaterials for
a diverse array of applications. In particular, the book
investigates the large-scale use of ferrite materials, an important
category of magnetic materials for environmental remediation such
as waste water treatment. In addition, it considers ferrites to
enable new technologies in energy, sensing, flexible and conductive
electronics, and MEMs applications. This book is suitable for
researchers and practitioners in the disciplines of materials
science, engineering, chemistry and physics.
