Bletchley Park's Secret Source
A captivating history of the highly secret group of women who helped win the Second World War. The World War II codebreaking station at Bletchley is well known and its activities documented in detail. Its decryption capabilities were vital to the war effort, significantly aiding Allied victory. But where did the messages being deciphered come from in the first place? This is the extraordinary untold story of the Y-Service, a secret even more closely guarded than Bletchley Park. The Y-Service was the code for the chain of wireless intercept stations around Britain and all over the world. Hundreds of wireless operators, many of them who were civilians, listened to German, Italian and Japanese ...

This primer describes the range of NMR techniques commonly used in modern research, and explains how these experiments actually work, giving a unique perspective on this powerful experimental tool.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy is the only "tool" available for the determination of high-resolution biological molecule structure in solution. This volume includes methods for expeditiously analyzing the vast amount of data produced by the new 3D and 4D NMR techniques and for generating structures from the data and for assessing the quality of those structures. Application to various classes of important proteins and protein-ligand complexes illustrate uses of the methodology presented. Examination of techniques to explore the dynamic nature of proteins complete the volume.
Lindell's List
Already a decorated heroine of the First World War, British-born Mary Lindell, Comtesse de Milleville, was one of the most colourful and courageous agents of the Second World War, yet her story has almost been forgotten. Evoking the spirit of Edith Cavell, and taking the German occupation of Paris in 1940 as a personal affront, she led an escape line for patriotic Frenchmen and British soldiers. After imprisonment, escape to England, a secret return to France and another arrest, she began to witness the horrors of German-run prisons and concentration camps. In April 1945, a score of British and American women emerged from the Women's Hell – Ravensbrück concentration camp – who had been ...

Henry Harwood
Henry Harwood is best known for his destruction of the Admiral Graf Spee at the battle of the River Plate in December 1939 about which Winston Churchill, then First Lord of the Admiralty, said: 'This brilliant sea fight takes its place in our naval annals and in a long, cold, dark winter it warmed the cockles of the British hearts'. Despite that great victory Harwood remains, until now, one of three great British naval commanders of the Second World War who is without a biography. Admiral Sir Henry Harwood's wider naval career was remarkable and epitomised the Royal Navy in the first half of the twentieth century. He became a naval cadet in 1903, specialised as a torpedo officer in 1911, and...
