A revealing account of Swiss intelligence operations during WWII, including a secret backchannel between Switzerland and Nazi Germany. During World War II, Col. Roger Masson, the head of Swiss Intelligence, maintained a secret link to the German Chief of Espionage, SS Gen. Walter Schellenberg. With access to previously inaccessible documents, including newly discovered material in American archives, historian Pierre Braunschweig fully illuminates this connection for the first time, along with surprising new details about the military threats Switzerland faced in March 1943. During World War II, Switzerland was famous as a center of espionage fielded by Allies and Axis alike. Less has been known, however, about Switzerland’s own intelligence activities, including its secret sources in Hitler’s councils and its counterespionage program at home. In Secret Channel to Berlin, Braunschweig details the functions of Swiss Intelligence during World War II and sheds new light on conflicts between Swiss Intelligence and the federal government in Bern, as well as within the intelligence service itself.

Machine Gun Jelly is a cynical black comedy thriller. A small time hustler and Tiger Woods lookalike named Monsoon Parker is compelled to borrow money from a pitiless Vegas mobster, and is unable to pay the Vig. In desperation he ransacks an old suitcase that belonged to his father who was killed in Vietnam. What he discovers, the titular Machine Gun Jelly, triggers a sequence of increasingly bizarre events, and entangles a picaresque cast of characters in a dangerous farce. Only man knows what they are really dealing with, and he doesn ́t even know which planet he ́s on. Pretty soon, people start dying. The action moves from Vegas to Vietnam to Australia, before coming to a chaotic and explosive conclusion, and the ones that survive will never be the same again. "Deal we make as follows. You tell me what is MGJ, what it do, and how much it worth, and I don't cut both you Achilles tendon and drop you off in gay leper colony." Monsoon weighed his options. They didn't weigh very much.
This is a book about structures that shows students how to "see" structures as integral to architecture, and how knowledge of structures is the basis for understanding both the mechanical and conceptual aspects inherent to the art of building. Analyzing the structural principles behind many of the best known works of architecture from past and present alike, this book places the subject within a contemporary context. The subject matter is approached in a qualitative and discursive manner, and is illustrated by many photographs of architectural projects and structural behaviour diagrams. This new edition is revised and updated throughout, includes worked-out examples, and is perfect as either an introductory structures course text or as a designer’s sourcebook for inspiration.
