Positron Annihilation in Chemistry gives a critical review of the chemistry-oriented positron annihilation research. The only three light particles participating in low energy physics and chemistry are the electron, positron, and positronium. Positronium (Ps) is the most important "anomalous" atom. This volume gives the only available, critical discussion of the chemistry of the two "strange" light particles, the positron and positronium, while the excess electron has been much discussed. Many unusual phenomena in the reaction kinetics of the positron, positronium, and excess electron, and in radiation chemistry and physics, can be investigated in positron annihilation, which also gives important information on defects in solids.

On June 22, 1941, Hitler began what would be the most important campaign of the European theater. The war against the Soviet Union would leave tens of millions of Soviet citizens dead and large parts of the country in ruins. The death and destruction would result not just from military operations but also from the systematic killing and abuse that the German army, police, and SS directed against Jews, Communists, and ordinary citizens.In War of Annihilation, noted military historian Geoffrey P. Megargee provides a clear, concise history of the Germans’ opening campaign of conquest and genocide in 1941. By drawing on the best of military and Holocaust scholarship, Megargee dispels the myths that have distorted the role of Germany’s military leadership in both the military operations themselves and the unthinkable crimes that were part of them.
