Paperback. Condición: Very Good. A chance meeting between two twelve-week-old puppies in a Manchester park leads to a series of letters from young Stanley to his new friend Clementina. Based on true events viewed through canine eyes, this work is a collection of that correspondence, and reflects upon the quirky world of humans, dogs and the interaction between the two. With a comic perception that is perhaps only afforded to innocent observers, each letter stands alone as a testimony to Stanleys efforts to comprehend the mysteries of life that confront young pups in their carefree progress throughout their first year. From human vanity to intrusive vets to pesky cats, from basic bodily functions to the high-blown appreciation of modern art, Stanley keeps Clementina in the picture as he steers his way relentlessly, if not always smoothly, through the challenges that life throws at him, culminating in his first birthday party. In this deliciously humorous work, wittily illustrated by W.H. Mather, readers will delight not only in recognising their own pets, but also themselves and their fellow dog walkers. But you dont have to be a dog-owner to appreciate Stanleys letters as their comedy will appeal to everybody. And anybody contemplating getting a puppy should take advantage of Stanleys wit and insight to help them in taking that fateful step of joining the ranks of the dog-owning fraternity. Pick up Stanleys narrative and immerse yourself in the humorous, blossoming friendship of two adorable Border Terrier puppies! The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Octavo, black boards (hardcover), gilt lettering, xxix, 272 pp. Fine in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: Reams have been written about the success of the British "Ultra" program in cracking the Germans' Enigma code early in World War II, but few people know what happened in 1942 when the Germans added a fourth rotor to the machine that created the already challenging naval code -- and tracking German U-Boats once again became impossible. Joe Desch, an unassuming but brilliant thirty-five-year-old engineer at the National Cash Register Company in Dayton, Ohio, was given the task of creating a machine to break the new Enigma settings -- an assignment whose secrecy rivaled that of the atom bomb project, and that was perhaps just as daunting. Not only was Desch under unrelenting pressure to build the machine before the Battle of the Atlantic was lost, but because he was the son of a German immigrant mother, his own life was pinned under a microscope. The Desch Bombe, as the codebreaking machine was called, was a mammoth electromechanical marvel that stood seven feet high, eleven feet long, and two feet wide. Row upon row of commutator wheels imitated the rotors of the Enigma machine at extremely high speeds, attempting to crack the code. But an earthshaking scandal erupted late in 1943, when it was discovered that one of the engineers at NCR was in touch with German and Japanese embassies. This engineer and his wife were seized immediately, but the story of what happened to them has never been revealed untiol now. Joe Desch suffered a nervous breakdown from the pressure of his work; still, he was given the National Medal of Merit, our country's highest civilian honor. When he died in 1987, even his daughter had no idea how important his career had been to the Allied victory in World War II. The Secret in Building 26 brings Desch's story, and the entire story of the war against Enigma, to vivid, thrilling life. Espionage, World War II, Second World War, WWII, Codebreaking bslic.
