...invited to learn about ancient history from an archaeological perspective; in another about the energetics of muscle contractions: in still another the scientific influence of Islam. There are in those 55 pages, descriptions of courses on cosmology and developmental psychology on quantitative methods for political science and quantum mechanics...
Montgomery's game plan was sort of quantum leapfrog. On Sept. 17, 1944, a Sunday, the afternoon skies over Holland were filled with 5,000 planes and 2,500 gliders. Executing phase one of Operation Market-Garden, an airborne Allied army of 35,000, complete with vehicles and artillery, dropped onto Dutch countryside still occupied by Germans...
