Paperback. Condición: Very Good. 1958 UK paperback. Unmarked pages and firm binding. Minimal edge wear to the paper cover. A very good, sturdy copy. "Alpine Partisan recounts the extraordinary wartime experiences of British soldier Alfred Southon during World War II. After serving in North Africa, Southon returns from a patrol in May 1942 only to find his unit?s base overrun by Axis forces. Captured by the Italians, he is interned in a prisoner-of-war camp in northern Italy. Following the Italian armistice in September 1943, Southon seizes the opportunity to escape and makes his way into the Italian countryside, where he connects with local partisans and joins their resistance efforts against the occupying German forces. As German strength grows and the situation worsens, Southon and a group of fellow escapees and partisans resolve to cross the Alps into southeastern France in hopes of reaching Allied lines. A party of 39 men?26 of them English?sets out on this perilous trek. Harsh weather, including violent snowstorms and avalanches, soon engulfs the group as they navigate the treacherous mountain terrain. The journey turns into a harrowing test of endurance and survival. Most of the men succumb to the brutal conditions; only two ultimately survive the crossing, Southon among them. His survival comes at a heavy cost, having endured extreme hardship and suffering along the way. Based on Southon?s own testimonies as recorded by author Vivian Milroy, the book combines elements of personal memoir, wartime history, and the broader narrative of resistance and human resilience in the face of overwhelming adversity.". …

Condición: New. 2020 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1930) Hardback 255pp The book details the author's experiences at the Battle of Mons with the 4th Bn Middlesex Regiment. After being slightly wounded and separated from his unit he teams up with eight fellow stragglers from various units and, being of the most senior rank, he finds himself in command of the 'Phantom Brigade' as they call themselves, and with the Germans never far behind - and sometimes in front of them - they try and find their way back to the main body of the BEF.After recovering from wounds received at Mons, Vivian returned to France in March 1915, was wounded again in May 1915 and returned to England. A few months later he went back to France and was commissioned and then wounded again in June 1917. He then transferred to the RAF, in which he served until the end of the war.Review of the original edition from "The Great War Forum"When the war clouds gathered in early August 1914 Alfred Percival George Vivian was in his Twenty First year of life and a Lance Corporal in the FourthBattalion of the Middlesex Regiment based at Devonport , he had already served seven years in the army having enlisted in May 1907 at the tender ageof just Fourteen. He was in charge of a stretcher section of eight men but being a first class shot he was rueing his luck that he was not in a fighting unitnow that the chance of action was near.Soon the Reservists were arriving and the battalion was up to strength and sailing for France, arriving in Boulogne they were greeted by jubilant crowds.After a short stay in the town of Taisinieres where Vivian managed to swop his non-combatant role for that of a fighting soldier ( ironically the chap heexchanges duties with is killed in the battalion's first action).The book goes on to describe in exciting detail the author's experiences at the Battle of Mons, where after being slightly wounded andseparated from his unit he teams up with eight fellow stragglers from various units and being of the most senior rank he finds himself in command ofthe 'Phantom Brigade' as they call themselves, and with the Germans never far behind and sometimes in front of them they try and find their way backto the main body of the B.E.F.The book only covers the opening month but it is a well written, absorbing and at times humorous account of an Old Contemptible's adventures duringthat turbulent August.Written in 1930 and long out of print but well worth looking out for, especially if you are interested in the B.E.F of 1914.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'Fundamentals of Organic and Biological Chemistry' serves as a comprehensive introduction to the essential principles governing the chemical composition of living organisms and carbon-based matter. Written by Thomas Guthrie Phillips and Alfred Vivian, this foundational work bridges the gap between general chemistry and the complex biochemical processes that sustain life.The text explores the structure, properties, and reactions of organic compounds, detailing how these elements interact within biological systems. It covers critical topics such as the chemistry of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins, as well as the metabolic pathways that define the functioning of plants and animals. Designed with clarity in mind, the book provides a systematic approach to understanding the molecular building blocks of the natural world.Valuable for students of the life sciences, agriculture, and medicine, 'Fundamentals of Organic and Biological Chemistry' offers a clear perspective on the early twentieth-century understanding of biochemistry.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, a valuable guide to soil fertility, examines the essential plant nutrients and their sources. Initially establishing that plants derive their carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen primarily from air and water, the author emphasizes that soil fertility largely depends on nitrogen, explored in detail. The author also examines phosphoric acid and potash, demonstrating why these, along with nitrogen, are so critical to plant life. Concluding with insights into how crops can deplete the soil, the author offers a thought-provoking examination of the complex relationship between soil health and agricultural practices. Delving into the fundamentals of soil fertility, the author provides an accessible foundation for understanding the complex science of plant nutrition. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
