Survivor
This is the true story of one of the underappreciated men of the British Merchant Navy.Jack Stringer had just turned 19 years old when the Second World War began on the 3rd of September 1939.Within seven hours of the declaration of war the first British ship, the liner SS Athenia, was sunk by the Germans in the Atlantic Ocean. At the same time, Jack was on board another liner the SS Arandora Star with a hidden cargo, sailing parallel to the Athenia. As Jack's route was further south, this was the first of many times that he was fortunate to avoid being attacked.Following training as a radio officer at his local college in Hull, he was thankful to survive the horror of being torpedoed on his first two trips in the Atlantic, only three months apart. After the safe completion of several hazardous return trips, Jack's next ship was attacked and sunk off the coast of West Africa. By pure chance he then evaded the destruction of the 'second Pearl Harbour' at Bari, Italy, in the Mediterranean. He lived in fear of being attacked throughout the five years he was at sea on predominantly old, poorly maintained cargo ships, with weather that was often atrocious. He then faced bombing raids on returning to his home city of Hull, Yorkshire.After the war, the Captain of U-Boat-123 which had sunk Jack for the final time in the Atlantic, provided his photos of this attack.This book showcases these photographs, along with more than 70 other photos and documents, mostly in colour, forming a unique collection.

String Theory
String Theory comprises two volumes which give a comprehensive and pedagogic account of the subject. Volume 1, first published in 1998, provides a thorough introduction to the bosonic string. The first four chapters introduce the central ideas of string theory, the tools of conformal field theory and of the Polyakov path integral, and the covariant quantization of the string. The next three chapters treat string interactions: the general formalism, and detailed treatments of the tree level and one loop amplitudes. Chapter eight covers toroidal compactification and many important aspects of string physics, such as T-duality and D-branes. Chapter nine treats higher-order amplitudes, including an analysis of their finiteness and unitarity, and various nonperturbative ideas. An appendix giving a short course on path integral methods is included. This is an essential text and reference for graduate students and researchers interested in modern superstring theory.

Tales from the Darker Side
We all love a good horror story. In this book there are plenty of them. Author Lucas Stringer has compiled some of his best stories into one volume and now wishes for readers to experience them...if they can handle them, of course.
