M26/M46 Pershing Tank 1943-53 / Steven Zaloga


From the moment that the M4 Sherman had been matched against German Panther and Tiger tanks, the American tank crews had known that their vehicles were outclassed by the opposition. What was needed was a more powerful tank, more heavily armed and armored, that could take-on the powerful German panzers on a more equal footing.

Weapon Mounts for Secondary Armament / Detroit Arsenal


In 1957 a book was released in a very small printing (perhaps as few as 25 books) which had been commissioned by the Detroit Arsenal of the United States Army Ordnance Corps. It was an exhaustive collection of small arms mounts from WW1 to 1957, including an incredible array of experimental mounts, many of which led to the adopted version many of us collect today. Anyone who has had the rare privilege to see an original volume and browsed its 1157 pages has found it a jaw dropping experience. This is second edition printed 2007.

Engineering Principles of Combat Modeling and Distributed Simulation / Andreas Tolk


Engineering Principles of Combat Modeling and Distributed Simulation is the first book of its kind to address the three perspectives that simulation engineers must master for successful military and defense related modeling: the operational view (what needs to be modeled); the conceptual view (how to do combat modeling); and the technical view (how to conduct distributed simulation). Through methods from the fields of operations research, computer science, and engineering, readers are guided through the history, current training practices, and modern methodology related to combat modeling and distributed simulation systems. Comprised of contributions from leading international researchers and practitioners, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the engineering principles and state-of-the-art methods needed to address the many facets of combat modeling and distributed simulation and features the following four sections:

Bomb Scare: The History and Future of Nuclear Weapons / Joseph Cirincione


Since their inception, nuclear weapons have multiplied at an alarming rate, leaving everyone from policymakers to concerned citizens wondering what it will take to slow, stop, or even reverse their spread. With clarity and expertise, Joseph Cirincione presents an even-handed look at the history of nuclear proliferation and an optimistic vision of its future, providing a comprehensive survey of the wide range of critical perspectives.
Cirincione begins with the first atomic discoveries of the 1930s and covers the history of their growth all the way to current crisis with Iran. He unravels the science, strategy, and politics that have fueled the development of nuclear stockpiles and increased the chance of a nuclear terrorist attack.

Пару сотен лет назад, когда Западная Европа вступила в эпоху Возрождения, сверхмассивная черная дыра в центре нашей галактики была гораздо активнее – по крайней мере, в рентгеновском диапазоне. Только представьте: недалек тот день, когда бытовая техника станет умнее своих хозяев и начнет справляться со своей работой практически без посторонней помощи.
