Operation Desert Storm was a war like no other. Soldiers of the Gulf War were given thorough physical examinations, pronounced "fit for combat," trained to fight, and sent into a hostile environment to defeat Saddam Hussein's forces. Upon arrival, most were forced to wait and watch as technology did their job. After months of exposure to biological and chemical warfare, and only 100 hours of ground fighting, most soldiers returned to civilain life without so much as a token physical exam. What they brought with them as a result of experimental vaccines, radioactive depleted uranium, and pent-up rate, is just beginning to surface. The Unexpected Storm is Steven Manchester's personal account of his experiences before, during and after the Gulf War. A compelling tale of friends made and lost, battles anticipated but never fought, and promises broken.

Homeric Conversation is the first full-length study of conversation in the Homeric poems. Deborah Beck argues that conversation should be considered a traditional Homeric type scene, alongside recognized types such as arrival, sacrifice, battle, and hospitality. Drawing on both linguistics and previous work on type scenes and oral aesthetics, the book describes the typical conversational patterns that characterize a range of situations, including one-on-one conversation, formal assemblies, battlefield encounters, and laments. Departures from these typical patterns for conversation provide the basis for a wide-ranging, closely argued aesthetic analysis of repetition and variation in the Homeric epics.

From the Preface by H. Halberstam: “The unexpected arrival of Loo-Keng Hua in Europe in the fall of 1978 was for many of us a romantic event, a legend come to life. What had long been (and had seemed destined to remain) merely a revered name in the mathematical annals of our times assumed suddenly the handsome presence of the man himself, dignified yet jovial, youthful yet wise, serene yet ever questing for new achievements; and we realized how very much we had missed by his thirty years’ absence from the international scene. While the publication of theses “Selecta” from his writings needs no justification beyond what is in them, it will, I hope, serve also as a way of saying a most cordial “welcome back”. It has been an honor for me to play a small role in producing the Selecta. To select only parts from the imposing whole is automatically to be wrong, and it may well seem in the long run (to quote loosely from a poem of Hua himself) that I have repaid gifts in jade with artifacts of wood. ...”
