A Whiff of the Past
A Whiff of the Past is a memoir of James Henry Smith, written in his own hand in and around 1968. A strong family man, Smith writes in great detail concerning his parents and where they come from. He also describes his courtship with Erma Fischer, who he married, and with whom he fathered six children, including my mother, Nancy, and Carl Smith, who compiled and preserved this manuscript. James Smith lived through extraordinary times and he did extraordinary things. We see history through his eyes and we see people as he saw them. This memoir was typed originally one letter at a time, as James Smith had arthritic hands at the time, was later transcribed by Carl Smith, who preserved it and other documents. It is presented now in an electronic and paperback form in the hope of preserving it for future generations.

Read on and take a trip into High Strangeness which means Unusual Accounts and Inside Information. You may never be the same after you follow Carl Smith into many areas about the way the mainstream sees things as opposed to what may be really going on. Enjoy, ponder and learn!

Residential Landscape Sustainability
This valuable resource for developers and designers will help to develop design solutions sympathetic to the environment and improve the sustainability of residential landscapes. The landscapes around housing have a crucial role in creating a more sustainable future with carbon-neutral homes. This book shows how to improve the sustainable profile of new residential developments through landscape planning, design and management – by conserving resources and minimising pollution, and by enhancing ecological diversity. This may be achieved without significant additional capital outlay. The residential landscape sustainability checklist gives housing developers, landscape architects, architects and planners a tool with which to assess the environmental implication of their schemes throughout the design process – from site planning to detailed design. The checklist focuses on residential housing developments but many features of the tool - including improving energy efficiency, materials selection, planting design and management - can also be applied to a wide range of different types of development, from school grounds to retail parks.
Urban Disorder and the Shape of Belief
The Great Chicago Fire of 1871, the Haymarket bombing of 1886, and the making and unmaking of the model town of Pullman—these remarkable events in what many considered the quintessential American city forced people across the country to confront the disorder that seemed inevitably to accompany urban growth and social change. In Urban Disorder and the Shape of Belief, Carl Smith explores the imaginative dimensions of these events as he traces the evolution of interconnected beliefs and actions that increasingly linked city, disorder, and social reality in the minds of Americans. Examining a remarkable range of writings and illustrations, as well as protests, public gatherings, trials, heari...

US Paratrooper 1941–45
In Sicily, Normandy, and in the frozen hills of the Ardennes, America's airborne warriors proved themselves some of the toughest and most determined soldiers of World War 2. What made these soldiers so special? How were they recruited, how did they learn to jump and fight? What special tactics and equipment did they use? This title looks at what it was like to be one of the United States' airborne elite, through the experiences of the soldiers themselves. It is the story of the men who invariably led the way; the soldiers who flew to battle and walked home.
