The Spitfire Log: Sixtieth Anniversary Tribute
Of all the aircraft that defended Britain's shores so gallantly during World War II, none inspired affection as did the Spitfire, the fighter that became a symbol of courage and determination during the Battle of Britain. Today, more than sixty years since its first flight, the Spitfire is still airborne, a star attraction at air shows and flypasts—one of the world's most famous and best-loved planes. This splendidly illustrated tribute to the fighter and the men who piloted her is essential reading for Spitfire fans of all generations. Published to mark the sixtieth anniversary of the death of the plane's creator, R.J. Mitchell, it brings together a fascinating collection of writings by those who flew, admired or simply loved the Spitfire. Famous Allied aces and war heroes such as Air Vice Marshal James "Johnnie" Johnson, Group Captain Sir Douglas Bader, and Flight Lieutenant Richard Hillary; novelists like Gavin Lyall and H. E. Bates; enthusiasts including Quentin Reynolds, Richard Dimbleby, and Alexander McKee—all these and many more record their memories and experiences of the fighter. Even German flying ace General Major Adolf Galland pays tribute to the plane that was once his sworn opponent. .

Logical Methods: In Honor of Anil Nerode's Sixtieth Birthday (Progress in Computer Science and Applied Logic (PCS))
Anil Nerode, Director of the Mathematics Institute at Cornell, USA, is one of the most influential logicians in the world. This volume, published in his honour, contains much new and significant work. The papers in this book are principally concerned with mathematical logic and some of its applications in computing. The book contains papers on recursion theory, intuitionism, computability in group theory, recursive model theory, reverse mathematics and the extraction of programs from proofs. A survey of Nerode's technical achievements over the last 30 years is also included. In particular, the book features papers on new developments in the understanding of the properties of intuitionistic set theory and intuitionistic analysis, the extension of computability in ordinary mathematics pioneered by Marian Boykan Pour-El and Ian Richards, the proof-theoretic strength of a long-standing conjecture of Fraisse and an extension of, and further account of, the Curry-Howard method of extracting programs from logical proofs. The papers in general arose from the conference, "Logical Methods in Mathematics and Computer Science. A Symposium in Honor of Anil Nerode on the Occasion of his Sixtieth Birthday", held at the Mathematical Sciences Institute at Cornell University, from June 1-3, 1992..
