"This book brings together in an easy-to-use format the essential facts of the Civil War. Its purpose is to be quickly and precisely informative rather than comprehensive. It provides concise overviews of individual topics such as the battles, armies and commanders of both sides; a chronology of the events of the war; a glossary of terms; an alphabetical listing of ships from both navies; and basic biographical information on all commanders."--BOOK JACKET.

"Four hundred years after Kepler discovered his third law of planetary motion, disproving the Pythagorean notion of 'the music of the spheres', music was discovered in the Sun. With this discovery the science of helioseismology was born." "In Music of the Sun, renowned helioseismologist William Chaplin tells the story of this discipline's origins and gives us invaluable insight into its implications - not only for better understanding the distant sun and stars - but for climate change, particle physics, and the very relationship between the Sun and the Earth."--BOOK JACKET.

"In 1996, successful businessman and certified pilot, Scott Griffin, decided to break from the comfortable routine of his life to go to work for the Flying Doctors Service, an African organization that flies doctors and nurses to remote areas to administer medical assistance. Griffin also made the daring decision to fly his small, single-engine Cessna 180 solo from Canada to Africa and back again." "My Heart is Africa is the engaging, personal story of his two-year aviation adventure throughout Africa. It is also the story of Africa - its problems and people, its landscapes and limitations, its culture and courage. Griffin's intrepid flying odyssey not only takes the reader on a journey across Africa but into the lives of the doctors, nurses, aid workers and eccentric characters that crossed his path along the way."--BOOK JACKET.

First published in 1990. A country’s development does not take place in a vacuum and it was therefore essential in this earlier work that the main subject (the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s development) should be set into an historical, political and social context. The original edition includes a summary of this background information, starting with the Kingdom’s geographical location and proceeding with a brief account of its history, its political importance and its role in the world economy. Within this context, is described the development and progress of what the Kingdom had achieved, outlining the country’s governmental structure, its administrative divisions, its available investment potential, its prevailing legal and commercial regulations, and its future plans and ambitions. This new book, which has been structured to encompass all aspects of the Kingdom’s development, contains the latest statistical data on the Kingdom’s progress, together with the newly revised background information of the former book. Thus each of the books complements the other, for each records the relevant information at a particular stage in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s continuing developmental process.
