Now a major motion picture directed by Clint Eastwood.
From 1999 to 2009, U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle recorded the most career sniper kills in United States military history. His fellow American warriors, whom he protected with deadly precision from rooftops and stealth positions during the Iraq War, called him "The Legend"; meanwhile, the enemy feared him so much they named him al-Shaitan ("the devil") and placed a bounty on his head.
Kyle, who was tragically killed in 2013, writes honestly about the pain of war—including the deaths of two close SEAL teammates—and in moving first-person passages throughout, his wife, Taya, speaks openly about the strains of war on their family, as well as on Chris. Gripping and unforgettable, Kyle's masterful account of his extraordinary battlefield experiences ranks as one of the great war memoirs of all time.
Includes new material by Taya Kyle about the making of the American Sniper film.
Inspired by the opportunities and challenges presented by rapid
advances in the fields of retrieval of chemical and other
scientific information, several speakers presented at a symposium,
The History of the Future of Chemical Information, on Aug. 20,
2012, at the 244th Meeting of the American Chemical Society in
Philadelphia, PA. Storage and retrieval is of undeniable value to
the conduct of chemical research. The participants believe that
past practices in this field have not only contributed to the
increasingly rapid evolution of the field but continue to do so,
hence the somewhat unusual title. Even with archival access to
several of the presentations, a number of the presenters felt that
broader access to this information is of value. Thus, the
presenters decided to create an ACS Symposium book based on the
topic, with the conviction that it would be valuable to chemists of
all disciplines. The past is a moving target depending on the
vagaries of technology, economics, politics and how researchers and
professionals choose to build on it. The aim of The History of the
Future of Chemical Information is to critically examine
trajectories in chemistry, information and communication as
determined by the authors in the light of current and possible
future practices of the chemical information profession. Along with
some additional areas primarily related to present and future
directions, this collection contains most of the topics covered in
the meeting symposium. Most of the original authors agreed to write
chapters for this book. Much of the historical and even current
material is scattered throughout the literature so the authors
strived to gather this information into a discrete source. Faced
with the rapid evolution of such aspects as mobile access to
information, cloud computing, and public resource production, this
book will be not only of interest but provide valuable insight to
this rapidly evolving field, both to practitioners within the field
of chemical information and chemists everywhere whose need for
current and accurate information on chemistry and related fields is
increasingly important.
