Book Description
Jan Critchett challenges some of strongly held opinions about Aboriginal culture: that their only shelters were frail mia-mias, that they were nomadic and had no attachment to a particular area of land, and that they were simple hunters and gatherers. With a particular focus on the Western District of Victoria, known under the Squatting Act as Portland Bay, Critchett begins and ends the book with the story of Hissing Swan or Kaawirn Kuunawarn.

Book Description
2019 Winner, Military Fiction, Independent Press Awards 2019 Gold Medal Winner, Historical Fiction, Military Writers Society of America 2019 Finalist, Military Fiction, American Fiction Awards This harrowing journey through World War I begins aboard the RMS Lusitania and ends on the edge of the world. For the Scots-American McReynolds brothers, World War I began with a German torpedo that slammed into the Lusitania. Despite frantic rescue efforts, they watch their family drown in front of their eyes. Having escaped the doomed ship in frigid waters off Ireland, they are rescued by four young Irishmen and together they vow to strike back in the war that was cutting a bloody swath through Europe in 1915. Searching for a unit that was bound to see action, they enlist with the vaunted Seaforth Highlanders, a Scottish regiment with a fearsome reputation. Soon they are tossed into the bloody cauldron of Gallipoli, where they must learn to fight and struggle to survive in one of the most ill-conceived and brutal campaigns of the war. Under a baking Aegean sun, surrounded by dead and maimed comrades, and facing a brutal and determined enemy sworn to Jihad, the brothers discover crucial differences in their reactions to the carnage of infantry combat. In the reeking, bloody trenches of Gallipoli, war becomes a very ugly school—where few live long enough to graduate. “From the sinking of the Lusitania to the battlefield cauldron of Gallipoli, RJ MacDonald weaves an action-packed story that leaves the reader breathless.” Military Writers Society of America “To fans of the genre of military fiction, RJ MacDonald’s, ‘A Distant Field’ might well be the book of the year." World War Media “... the battle sequences are both horrifying and exciting. This is a well-written novel, and if you are a collector of books on the First World War, I suggest you add this novel to your collection.” Historical Novel Society “It’s straight in at the deep end, as it opens with two brothers and their family on board the Lusitania when it gets torpedoed. This is breathless stuff... It’s all well written and a good yarn...” Militaria & History: The Armourer Magazine “RJ MacDonald's writing is vivid and gripping. Excellent historical fiction.” Professor Jonathan P. Roth, San Jose State University, Director, Burdick Military History Project “His mastery of descriptive art is reminiscent of some of John Steinbeck’s stories..." Professor Hal Elliott, Weber State University and Scots American Military Society “...a very compelling story... attention to detail sentence-for-sentence is stunning, and really builds the world while leaving the reader enough to imagine with."

Book Description
A Story of Simple Faith and TrustFollow the journey of a man of faith. This is the story of a simple man from the North American Midwest, whose not-so-simple journey led him and his family into the urban centers of Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan. ?George was a tremendous example. When I think of him, more than anything, I think of simple faith, simple trust. A proof of a man?s ministry is when his children continue on in some work and expand it.?Pastor Chuck Smith?Founding Pastor, Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa?It was God?s love through George that opened the doors in Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan.?Pastor David Guzik?Calvary Chapel of Santa Barbara ?There was no guile with George. No angle. He was never trying to put on a show. He was filled with love. I miss him.? Pastor Joe Focht?Calvary Chapel of Philadelphia ?Jesus said, ?You will know them by their fruits.? George Markey was a man of fruitfulness and integrity. It is amazing to see how God used him in the lives of people around the world.?Pastor Raul Ries?Calvary Chapel Golden Springs?George was one of the most servant-hearted men I have ever met.?Jeremy Camp?Grammy-Nominated Singer/Songwriter

Book Description
"Hubble Deep Field and the Distant Universe describes a watershed event in the history of astronomy, in addition to recounting the development of space astronomy. Aimed at a wide-ranging audience including amateur astronomers, science historians, researchers, Hubble Space Telescope (HST) aficionados and students interested in science, this book recounts the progression of events that led to the deep field exploration of Robert Williams and the Hubble Deep Field (HDF) team. Giving a fascinating insight into the processes by which astronomical research projects are carried out and unique discoveries are made by HST, this book describes the momentous image that has enabled astronomers to piece together the evolution of the largest structures in the universe."--Source : résumé de l'éditeur.

Book Description
This book is a pioneering exploration of a new form of high-frequency attenuation chamber that has the potential to revolutionize antenna measurement techniques. The authors present an innovative concept that leverages the classical principle of changing the polarization of radio waves, eliminating the need for traditional non-reflection chambers. By analyzing experimental results and searching for the optimal shape and composition of a depolarization panel, this monograph provides valuable insights into creating a non-reflective environment for accurately measuring the directional properties of antennas. The book delves into the methodology of frequency analysis, optimization of the depolarization panel, and the creation of a measuring workplace using this panel. It highlights the crucial attenuation phenomenon of suppressing cross-polarization coupling between transmitting and receiving antennas, enabling antenna measurements in any laboratory environment. With its promising results and practical applications in antenna technology, this publication offers a compelling and cutting-edge approach to antenna measurement that will captivate researchers, engineers, and professionals in the field.
