Book Description
The reader will notice that we have confined ourselves in the treatment of this work almost exclusively to what is termed the "scientific method." We have not only regarded home itself as an institution of nature, but in the treatment of almost every subject we have tried to involve the exposition of some related natural law, because every relation of the home life is an outgrowth of some law of our nature or of our surroundings. It has been our aim to make this book a scientific treatise on the various phases of the home, and in this respect, so far as we know, it stands alone. - Preface

Hearts
Author: Henry Shockley
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1412069793
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 524
Book Description
‘Hearts’ is a two-year adventure that takes place during the middle years of the Vietnam War, 1969 and 1970. From Draft Notice to Discharge, this book leads the reader on a journey from the Army Induction process to Basic Training and Advanced Infantry Training, then to Non-Commissioned Officer’s School, On-The-Job Training, and Vietnam. Through the good and the bad, the funny and the sad, you’ll sense love and hate, joy and pain. You’ll know the inner despair of young men as they unwittingly transform into young soldiers, and you’ll laugh at their artful acts of defiance. You’ll struggle with them as their idealistic notion of proudly serving their country pales to the reality that they are merely political pawns forced to participate in a senseless war. You’ll feel the helplessness of being bound by oath to follow orders, to accept peril and to commit to a war that has already been lost, and in which your only resolve will be to survive. You’ll learn what it is to sleep with ticks, leeches, and scorpions, and you’ll eat with ants and rats. You’ll share the torment of helicopter insertions into jungle landing zones, and you’ll join in the revelry of extraction while dangling in the doorways of the airborne roller coasters. You’ll endure long jungle nights in torrential monsoon rain and be thankful that it’s helping to ward off the mosquitoes. You’ll experience the silence and anxiety of sitting in ambush. You’ll tense at the sound of chattering voices, glimpse movement through thick jungle, and realize the explosiveness of combat. You’ll sense the boredom, the exhaustion, the fear, the uncertainty, the hopelessness, and the loneliness, and yet, you’ll feel invincible and brave—a recipe for the adrenalin-induced state of insanity in which the combat soldier exists.
