Greenhorn, a humorous, mildly derisive term, often was applied to Eastern European immigrants in the early 20th century. Joseph Werlin, American-born, well-mannered and university-educated, might not seem to fit the image. But, on this journey, he even referred to himself as a greenhorn, an innocent abroad. Joe initially meant his diary only for family interest when he sent handwritten pages to his fiancée -- an aspiring journalist -- in Texas. Later, he recognised wider appeal. He interviewed Muscovites for their responses to the new Red order and offered insights into the 1928 German elections, noting the weak showing of the famous (or infamous) Hitler. Related correspondence, documents and photos illuminate dimly-lit places and stirrings in 1928. He senses no gathering winds of war, but he reveals tensions in this precarious post-WWI period, which a decade later will erupt with unimagined calamity. Joella Werlin, his daughter, develops this story and reveals his life as it turned out.
Claude has an intuitive faith in something splendid and feels at odds with his contemporaries. The war offers him the opportunity to forget his farm and his marriage of compromise; he enlists and discovers that he has lacked. But while war demands altruism, its essence is destructive
Much has been written in the West on the history of the Soviet space program, but few Westerners have read direct first-hand accounts of the men and women who were behind the many Russian accomplishments in exploring space. The memoir of academician Boris Chertok, translated from the original Russian, fills that gap. Chertok began his career as an electrician in 1930 at an aviation factory near Moscow. Thirty years later, he was deputy to the founding figure of the Soviet space program, the mysterious "Chief Designer" Sergey Korolev. Chertok's 60-year-long career and the many successes and failures of the Soviet space program constitute the core of his memoirs, Rockets and People. In these writings, spread over four volumes (volumes two through four are forthcoming), academician Chertok not only describes and remembers, but also elicits and extracts profound insights from an epic story about a society's quest to explore the cosmos. This book was edited by Asif Siddiqi, a historian of Russian space exploration, and General Tom Stafford contributed a foreword touching upon his significant work with the Russians on the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project. Overall, this book is an engaging read while also contributing much new material to the literature about the Soviet space program.

The role of fossil planktonic foraminifera as markers for biostratigraphical zonation and correlation underpins most drilling of marine sedimentary sequences and is key to hydrocarbon exploration. The first - and only - book to synthesise the whole biostratigraphic and geological usefulness of planktonic foraminifera, Biostratigraphic and Geological Significance of Planktonic Foraminifera unifies existing biostratigraphic schemes and provides an improved correlation reflecting regional biogeographies.Renowned micropaleontologist Marcelle K. Boudagher-Fadel presents a comprehensive analysis of existing data on fossil planktonic foraminifera genera and their phylogenetic evolution in time and space. This important text, now in its Second Edition, is in considerable demand and is now being republished by UCL Press.
