This monograph has arisen out of a number of attempts spanning
almost five decades to understand how one might examine the
evolution of densities in systems whose dynamics are described by
differential delay equations. Though the authors have no definitive
solution to the problem, they offer this contribution in an attempt
to define the problem as they see it, and to sketch out several
obvious attempts that have been suggested to solve the problem and
which seem to have failed. They hope that by being available to the
general mathematical community, they will inspire others to
consider-and hopefully solve-the problem. Serious attempts have
been made by all of the authors over the years and they have made
reference to these where appropriate.
A Southern officer's war
This is a valuable Civil War memoir from a regimental officer of
the Army of the Confederacy. Its author, Richard Taylor has taken a
well rounded view of his experiences relating them against the
events of the opening phases of the war to his military life on
campaign during the Peninsula and Valley Campaigns through to
Berwick's Bay, the Red River and the closing operations of the
armed conflict. As a Southerner Taylor had to experience the
hardships of occupation and reconstruction under Johnson and Grant
and his book provides interesting perspectives on this period
immediately following the cessation of hostilities. The Leonaur
edition is available in soft cover and cloth bound hard cover with
dust jacket, head and tail bands and gold foil lettering to the
spine-a credit to the bibliophile's library!
British Second World War tanks performed so badly that it is
difficult to bring to mind any other British weapon of the period
that provokes such a strong sense of failure. Unfortunately, many
of the accusations appear to be true - British tanks were in many
ways a disgrace. But why was Britain, the country that invented
them, consistently unable to field tanks of the required quality or
quantity throughout the conflict? This perceived failure has taken
on the status of a myth, but, like all myths, it should not be
accepted at face value - it should be questioned and analysed. And
that is what Dick Taylor does in this closely researched and
absorbing study. He looks at the flaws in British financial policy,
tank doctrine, design, production and development before and
throughout the war years which often had fatal consequences for the
crews who were sent to fight and to be murdered' in mechanical
abortions'. Their direct experience of the shortcomings of these
machines is an important element of the story. He also considers
how British tanks compared to those of the opposition and contrasts
tank production for the army with the production of aircraft for
the RAF during the same period. His clear-sighted account goes on
to explain how, later in the conflict, British tank design improved
to the point where their tanks were in many ways superior to those
of the Americans and Germans and how they then produced the
Centurion which was one of the best main battle tanks of the
post-war era.
