Battle Climb


Richard Townshend Bickers - 2015
     Three squadrons - two Hurricane and one Spitfire - are recovering at RAF Longley from the battles of the British retreat from France. Pilots such as Officer Roy Taylor spend their days waiting for the telephone to ring and for someone to shout 'Scramble!'. But they will not be kept waiting for long. The enemy is preparing for a special mission, one that will hurt the Tommies close to home. In the eyes of the enemy, the British did not have the planes to replace those destroyed, or the pilots to take the place of those killed, in battle. It was time to deliver a final crushing blow. Major Sepp von Hondorf delivers the orders: a hit-and-run raid, concentrating on the aerodromes and the radar stations on the South-East of England. Their target: the Longley base. Their weapon: the deadly Ju 87 Stake dive-bomber. But in the ensuing battles between the Allies and the Enemies, Officer Taylor is shot down, landing in occupied France. His fellow pilots must set out to find and retrieve their lost friend. Can the Spitfire squadron exact vengeance against the Stuka men before they are hit once more? It will be a dangerous mission - one that will teach them the truth meaning of total war. 'Battle Climb' is an action-packed military thriller set during the build-up to the German invasion of England, and told with authentic and well-researched detail.

Algorithms in C++, Parts 1-4: Fundamentals, Data Structure, Sorting, Searching


Robert Sedgewick - 1998
    Christopher Van Wyk and Sedgewick have developed new C++ implementations that both express the methods in a concise and direct manner, and also provide programmers with the practical means to test them on real applications. Many new algorithms are presented, and the explanations of each algorithm are much more detailed than in previous editions. A new text design and detailed, innovative figures, with accompanying commentary, greatly enhance the presentation. The third edition retains the successful blend of theory and practice that has made Sedgewick's work an invaluable resource for more than 250,000 programmers! This particular book, Parts 1n4, represents the essential first half of Sedgewick's complete work. It provides extensive coverage of fundamental data structures and algorithms for sorting, searching, and related applications. Although the substance of the book applies to programming in any language, the implementations by Van Wyk and Sedgewick also exploit the natural match between C++ classes and ADT implementations. Highlights Expanded coverage of arrays, linked lists, strings, trees, and other basic data structures Greater emphasis on abstract data types (ADTs), modular programming, object-oriented programming, and C++ classes than in previous editions Over 100 algorithms for sorting, selection, priority queue ADT implementations, and symbol table ADT (searching) implementations New implementations of binomial queues, multiway radix sorting, randomized BSTs, splay trees, skip lists, multiway tries, B trees, extendible hashing, and much more Increased quantitative information about the algorithms, giving you a basis for comparing them Over 1000 new exercises to help you learn the properties of algorithms Whether you are learning the algorithms for the first time or wish to have up-to-date reference material that incorporates new programming styles with classic and new algorithms, you will find a wealth of useful information in this book.
