Immediately following the Civil War, the United States Ordnance Department reported it had purchased 128,575 Remington revolvers during the conflict. During the Franco-Prussian War in 1870-71, Samuel Remington acted as an agent to acquire arms for the French War Ministry. Fifteen to twenty thousand Remington New Model Army revolvers were purchased from the Ordnance Department and sent to France. Donald Ware devoted twenty-five years of research in the Ordnance Department archives, the Remington factory's records, and Army and Navy records to assemble this detailed examination of the development and evolution of Remington revolvers from the beginning of the Civil War through the end of the Indian wars. In addition to information about the revolvers themselves, Ware shares tidbits that he uncovered along the way. For example, part of the equipment issued the Civil War soldier was a bullet mold for his revolver. During the War, the Ordnance Department issued combustible ammunition for revolvers, making the mold a superfluous appendage. To avoid carrying the extra weight, the mold was usually tossed away. In 1863 the Ordnance Department notified Remington there was no need to furnish molds with the revolvers and therefore saved the government eighteen cents on each revolver.

The authors decided to write this book when they could find no other texts for a course on non-relativistic nuclear reactions. It combines a thorough theoretical approach with applications to recent experimental results. The main formalisms used to describe nuclear reactions are explained clearly and coherently, and the reader is led from basic laws to the final formulae used to calculate measurable quantities. Topics include quantal and semi-classical potential scattering; the formal theory of nuclear reactions, including the theory of the optical model; and direct reactions and coupled-channel systems. Also included are compound nucleus reactions and fusion, dissipation fluctuations in deep-inelastic collisions, fusion, and heavy-ion induced fission. The book will be welcomed by graduate students and researchers in nuclear and atomic physics.

The Mounted Troops of the British Army: 1066-1945 gives the history of the cavalryman's service from the days when the Normans brought the war horse to England, till garages replaced stables in military barracks. It deals with his uniform and equipment, his weapons and horses, and his life in peace and war. No attempt has been made to describe campaigns or battles, except to provide such background as is required to show the conditions under which the horse soldier fought, and the methods he used. The description of one regiment in 1836 is: the two right troops had bays, the third from the right chestnuts, the fouth duns, the fifth piebalds, skewbalds and horses of all colors, the sixth blacks, and the seventh and eighth grays. All these horses had long tails. The book consists of 256 pages plus 33 plates of illustrations, and line drawings. One drawing shows the encampment of a regiment of light dragoons; most illustrations and drawings show different uniforms, weapons and horse outfitting.

Preface: ...Although there are several excellent texts available on the quantum theory of scattering, I felt it necessary to include Chapters 2 and 3 which introduce in a non-rigorous way the basic, formal framework of theory within which most models of direct reactions are embedded. Chapters 4 through 8 are concerned with the often tedious but very necessary matter of constructing detailed formulae for reaction amplitudes. Chapter 9 studies the structure of reaction amplitudes in a more general way, especially their symmetry properties. The description of polarization phenomena in terms of spherical tensors is developed in chapter 10. The remaining chapters are devoted to the various models of direct reactions and their application to the interpretation of experimental data...
