'Literally impossible to put down' New York Times Book Review
Gordon Thomas has a grasp of history... this is one of the few
books to have captured the true nature of the Israeli Government
and the thorough process of the Israeli power elite. Ari
Ben-Menashe, Former Adviser on Intelligence to the Israeli
Government Created in 1951 to ensure an embattled Israel' s future,
the Mossad has been responsible for the most audacious and
thrilling feats of espionage, counterterrorism and assassination
ever ventured. Gideon' s Spies has been created from closed-door
interviews with Mossad agents, informants and spymasters, and
drawing from classified documentsand top-secret sources, revealing
previously untold truths about the Israeli intelligence agency.
Bang-up-to-date, this new paperback edition of this best-selling
book includes startling new information on subjects ranging from
Weapons of Mass Destruction, international terrorism, North Korea'
s bird-flu war games and ' ethnic bombs' . The riveting text is
supported by glossaries, appendices and shows a Mossad as it has
historically been: brilliant, ruthless, flawed but ultimately
fascinating.
Hazardous Air Pollutant Handbook: Measurements, Properties, and
Fate in Ambient Air provides a comprehensive review of the 188
compounds and compound classes designated as Hazardous Air
Pollutants (HAPs) by the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, with a
specific focus on their potential presence in ambient air. The
relevant chemical and physical properties of the compounds are
discussed and tabulated, and suitable methods for their measurement
in ambient air are identified. A survey of measurements of ambient
HAP concentrations is provided for use in historical comparisons
and for evaluating the current human health risks from these
chemicals. Finally, the book reviews the atmospheric reactions that
control the lifetime and fate of the HAPs in ambient air, and
summarizes the current knowledge about their transformation
products.
The early modern period inherited a deeply-ingrained culture of
Christian remembrance that proved a platform for creativity in a
remarkable variety of forms. From the literature of church ritual
to the construction of monuments; from portraiture to the
arrangement of domestic interiors; from the development of textual
rites to drama of the contemporary stage, the early modern world
practiced 'arts of remembrance' at every turn. The turmoils of the
Reformation and its aftermath transformed the habits of creating
through remembrance. Ritually observed and radically reinvented,
remembrance was a focal point of the early modern cultural
imagination for an age when beliefs both crossed and divided
communities of the faithful. The Arts of Remembrance in Early
Modern England maps the new terrain of remembrance in the
post-Reformation period, charting its negotiations with the
material, the textual and the performative.

Shadow Warriorsis a fascinating look at the women of the UK and US
secret service branches during the Second World War. These were
women of enormous cunning and strength of will, and many of the
Shadow Warriors' stories have remained untold until now. In a
dramatically different tale of espionage and conspiracy in the
Second World War, this book unveils the history of the courageous
women who volunteered to work behind enemy lines in Nazi Occupied
Europe. Sent by the United States' OSS and Britain's SOE into
Occupied Europe, these brave women wove a web of resistance groups
across the continent. So effective did the female agents become in
their efforts that the Germans often placed a bounty of a million
Francs on the heads of operatives disrupting their troops. Their
extraordinary heroism, initiative and resourcefulness contributed
to the Allied breakout of the Normandy beachheads and even
infiltrated Nazi Germany at the height of the war, into the very
heart of Hitler's citadel - Berlin. Young and daring, the female
agents accepted that they could be captured, tortured or killed,
even as others were always readied to take their place.
Topological analysis consists of those basic theorems of analysis
which are essentially topological in character, developed and
proved entirely by topological and pseudotopological methods. The
objective of this volume is the promotion, encouragement, and
stimulation of the interaction between topology and analysis-to the
benefit of both. Originally published in 1964. The Princeton Legacy
Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make
available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
A young woman named Deseray Underwood has been found dead, in her
London lodgings, by her finance Samuel Mortimer. The body itself
shows no signs of a struggle. Lestrade, baffled by the cause of
death, summons the aid of Sherlock Holmes and his great powers of
deduction. Holmes stumbles upon one single clue, a crystal blue
bottle, which sends him and Watson on a wild chase through the
streets of London in pursuit of answers to this young woman's
sudden demise. A death that would make any benefactor very wealthy.
