A well-known British writer of adventure books for young readers, Percy F. Westerman is the author of "The Nameless Island: A Story of Some Modern Robinson Crusoes." The book, which was published in 1926, is in the line of survival stories similar to Daniel Defoe's "Robinson Crusoe." The plot is on a group of people, including boys and their instructor, who, after their ship, the Falcon, sinks, wind up stuck on an uninhabited island. The story keeps the island's name a secret, which heightens the sense of mystery. Using their creativity and cooperation, the survivors must negotiate the difficulties of their new surroundings in order to adjust and get over the barriers posed by the strange terrain. In order to survive, the protagonists construct shelter, obtain food, and deal with environmental challenges. As the castaways cooperate to create a new settlement on the unnamed island, the story tackles themes of resiliency, collaboration, and inventiveness. “The Nameless Island" was written by Percy F. Westerman, an adventure writer best known for his works set in military or maritime environments. Young readers will be enthralled with this gripping story of survival and friendship. The book offers its readers an interesting and creative journey while capturing the spirit of independence and discovery.

This book is a recounting of some of the experiences I had while serving in the Army and Army Air Corps during WWII. The events are as accurate as I could recall without embellishment. I took the pictures of Don Lawless and Gene Van Houten in Don Woerpel's book, The 79th Fighter Group. This is an expanded version of my original book, "Memoirs of Ken Thompson, A WWII Fighter Pilot." I have also added my views on some of the issues facing our society.

Some Modern Mathematics for Physicists and Other Outsiders: An Introduction to Algebra, Topology, and Functional Analysis, Volume 1 focuses on the operations, principles, methodologies, and approaches employed in algebra, topology, and functional analysis. The publication first offers information on sets, maps, and algebraic composition laws and systems. Discussions focus on morphisms of algebraic systems, sequences and families, cardinal numbers, ordered sets and maps, equivalence relations and maps, composite functions and inverses, operations with sets, and relations in sets. The text then ponders on special algebraic systems, topological spaces, and topological spaces with special properties. Topics include complete metric spaces, compact spaces, separable and connected spaces, homeomorphism and isometry, convergence, continuity, general structure of topological spaces, rings and fields, linear spaces, linear algebras, and nonassociative algebras. The book elaborates on the theory of integration and measure spaces, including measurable spaces, general properties of the integral, and measureable functions. The publication is a valuable reference for theoretical physicists, research engineers, and scientists who are concerned with structural problems.
