Rudolf Schneider's The Artillery of the Middle Ages (translated)
In the early 20th century, Erwin Schramm began a comprehensive study of ancient artillery. When he and his partner Rudolf Schneider published the results of their almost decade long series of experiments, Dr. Schneider continued their work beyond the Fall of Rome. Schneider started, much as he and Schramm had with the ancient era, by analyzing the extant period sources. This literary survey work became this book.Containing both a wealth of late ancient, medieval, and early modern sources and an insightful analysis thereof, Dr. Schneider's work is intended to broaden understanding of the final development of artillery prior gunpowder. With descriptions of the construction and use of trebuchets from as early as the Crusader are and as recently as the Second French Empire, the period sources are masterfully presented. Further, Dr. Schneider's analysis is one of the great literary feats of the 20th century, combining sources from 8 separate language variations.For the student of artillery wishing to develop and use their own medieval engines, this work will provide the best possible grounding in the capabilities and designs of Medieval artillery.
Elite of the Third Reich
Until now, this essential reference book has only been available in its hard-to-find German version - Helion are pleased to announce not only a complete translation of this important source. The text lists all known recipients (over 7,000 of them), giving name, rank, unit, and date of award for each. Recipients of the higher classes of this decoration, such as the Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves, are also included. Elite of the Third Reich is destined to become a standard reference work on the Second World War German Armed Forces - Army, Kriegsmarine, Luftwaffe and Waffen-SS. The publication of occasional updates is planned, containing corrections and amendments.
German Literary Culture at the Zero Hour

Hyperbolic Problems: Theory, Numerics, Applications
Hyperbolic partial differential equations describe phenomena of material or wave transport in physics, biology and engineering, especially in the field of fluid mechanics. The mathematical theory of hyperbolic equations has recently made considerable progress. Accurate and efficient numerical schemes for computation have been and are being further developed. This two-volume set of conference proceedings contains about 100 refereed and carefully selected papers. The books are intended for researchers and graduate students in mathematics, science and engineering interested in the most recent results in theory and practice of hyperbolic problems. Applications touched in these proceedings concer...

This book covers the latest scientific knowledge in a uniquely structured format and is specifically designed to link chemistry with health and nutrition to provide a broad, appealing book. Coverage begins with caffeine in relation to nutrition focussing on beverages, then concentrates on chemistry, crystal structures of complexes in caffeine and biochemistry. In the analysis chapters, assays are conducted by LC-MS, capillary electrophoresis, automated flow methods and immunoassay methods. The effects of caffeine on the brain, cognitive performance, sleep, oxidative damage, exercise and pulmonary...
