Publisher: DigiCat

Summary

In "Visual Signaling," the United States Army Signal Corps presents a comprehensive examination of the methods and techniques employed for visual communication in military operations. This meticulous work emphasizes the importance of non-verbal cues, flags, and light signals, aiming to establish a standardized protocol during times of war. Written in an instructional and precise style, the text not only serves as a practical guide for military personnel but also situates itself within the broader historical context of military communications, where the clarity and effectiveness of signals can mean the difference between success and failure on the battlefield. The United States Army Signal Corps has a rich legacy in communication technology, evolving from its inception during the Civil War through two World Wars and beyond. The focus on visual signaling reflects a deep understanding of the strategic necessities of military operations, as well as the innovative spirit within the Corps to adapt to the challenges of warfare. The authors' collective experience and knowledge underline the significance of communication in achieving operational excellence. I highly recommend "Visual Signaling" to scholars, military historians, and anyone with a keen interest in the evolution of communication methods in military contexts. This book not only provides practical knowledge but also enriches our understanding of the critical role that effective signaling plays in strategic military operations.

Follow the Science? - But be...

David Galloway, Alastair Noble

This book comes from two authors with scientific backgrounds. It recognises the huge advances made through science and their beneficial impact on society. However, it also expresses concern that the essentially tentative nature of scientific conclusions is being replaced by a growing tendency to accord to science the last word on a range of subjects. While the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic of 2020 has shown some of the uncertainties associated with scientific research, this book demonstrates that these become more apparent in such fundamental areas as the origin of both life and the universe, as well as the abiding mystery of mind and consciousness. The authors argue persuasively that we should recognise the limitations of science as well as its unquestionable strength.  
David Galloway MD DSc was a Consultant Surgeon and is currently Honorary Professor of Surgery at the University of Glasgow, Scotland. He was, until recently, the President of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons in Glasgow.  
Alastair Noble PhD spent most of his career in science education and educational management and was latterly the Field Officer for School Leaders Scotland. Both are committed Christians.

Green Greenwich

Candy Blackham

Green Greenwich reveals the many green spaces in the Royal Borough of Greenwich in south east London. Candy Blackham has spent three years exploring the woods, flowery meadows, parks and nature reserves with her camera. She shares with us her enjoyment of the many sites which are found around almost every corner, and all within forty minutes of central London. Each site has a brief historical description and photographs which tempt us to go walking every day of the year as the trees change from bare branches to green leaves, and then the brilliant jewel-like colours of autumn. As you walk in the parks discover herons, foxes, many varieties of butterflies and other insects, and of course the ever-present ring-necked parakeets. Walk along the Thames, enjoy views from hilltops, explore the canals of Thamesmead, and take time to enjoy the calm of the natural surroundings. Candy Blackham has given us another unique book which invites us to go walking beyond our usual haunts and reminds us how fortunate we are to have these green spaces and how much they depend on our protection and vigilance so that they are not lost in London's growth.

Flint - a lithic love letter

Joanne Bourne

'A very British love-letter to the beauty of flint' Daily Telegraph
Joanne Bourne has been in awe of flint as long as she can remember.
It was all around her where she grew up in Kent: used for garden walls, to edge drives and weight dustbin lids, as well as to build pubs, churches, Roman villas and castles. For centuries it was the only building stone available.
It is also magical. Made from the remains of plankton and sea sponges, it is second only in hardness to a diamond and can be used to make fire. Part of human development for three million years, it was used as a weapon to hunt and in war, and hung as protection against thunderbolts and fairies.
In a deeply personal love letter to this extraordinary 'biogenic' rock, Bourne traces its geological, architectural and social history and invites us to roam with her in search of it on her beloved North Downs.
Fusing science, poetry, history and a profound love of landscape, this is her heartfelt, thoroughly persuasive tribute to the stone she calls 'an art project of the great divine'.
