The Nuking of Happy Valley and Other Tales Told in the Mess
Throughout his 36-year career in the Canadian Army, the author saw some wonderful sights and met hundreds of interesting people, some of whom appear in this collection of anecdotes. From the first sergeant major at cadet camp to the witty and erudite professor at the staff college, they all enlightened and amused the impressive youngster who grew into an ancient and, at times, cynical old colonel. Along the way there were adventures galore at places with unusual names: Canoe River, the Imjin, Shilo, Kophinou and at others better known: England, Labrador, Ottawa and Washington. Those adventures are the stuff of stories that old soldiers tell when they gather in the mess and the emphasis is on the good times. These are the stories.

Fatigue and Fracture Mechanics of High Risk Parts
In the preliminary stage of designing new structural hardware that must perform a given mission in a fluctuating load environment, there are several factors the designers should consider. Trade studies for different design configurations should be performed and, based on strength and weight considerations, among others, an optimum configuration selected. The selected design must be able to withstand the environment in question without failure. Therefore, a comprehen sive structural analysis that consists of static, dynamic, fatigue, and fracture is necessary to ensure the integrity of the structure. During the past few decades, fracture mechanics has become a necessary discipline for the sol...
Turning Your Defeat Into Victory
This book is about prayer. I realize that as a child of God, we have the victory, but many of us are struggling with strongholds that have been passed down from generation to generation, and as a result those strongholds are keeping us from living victoriously in certain areas of our lives. This book, when the principles are applied will help us to Turn Our Defeat Into Victory, and the weapon that we are going to use is PRAYER. Once we realize that behind every situation that we face, there are spiritual powers and rulers of darkness at work, and before we can tear down the strongholds that the enemy has built, we must be able to recognize who he is. The Bible lets us know in Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places, and now that we know who the enemy is we can move our weapons into place, and that weapon is PRAYER.
Memoirs of Montparnasse
Memoirs of Montparnasse is a delicious book about being young, restless, reckless, and without cares. It is also the best and liveliest of the many chronicles of 1920s Paris and the exploits of the lost generation. In 1928, nineteen-year-old John Glassco escaped Montreal and his overbearing father for the wilder shores of Montparnasse. He remained there until his money ran out and his health collapsed, and he enjoyed every minute of his stay. Remarkable for their candor and humor, Glassco’s memoirs have the daft logic of a wild but utterly absorbing adventure, a tale of desire set free that is only faintly shadowed by sadness at the inevitable passage of time.
