Since 1940, when Dr. J.C. Boileau Grant created the first lab manual based on Grant’s method of dissection, Grant’s Dissector has clearly established its authority and preeminence as the "gold standard" of gross anatomy dissection manuals. In the last edition, the material was streamlined to focus on more accurate, specific and clear steps, based on market conditions and feedback. This edition continues to focus on the trend of reduced lab hours yet maintains the quality and reliability of Grant’s original manual. Grant’s Dissector, Fourteenth Edition features over 40 n

My Tank is Fight! is a humorous look at more than 20 unusual or insane inventions of the Second World War. Each chapter features a detailed examination of the real history and technology behind each invention. All 19 chapters are linked by a fictional narrative that explores what might have happened had the inventions been put to use during the War. The book is also lavishly illustrated, with 18 full-color illustrations and more than two dozen detailed black and white illustrations. My Tank is Fight! is not a dry analysis of the forgotten weapons of war, it brings those weapons to life.

From tearing roads through the jungle to blasting out Viet Cong positions, from convoy escort to rescue operations, the tank crews in Vietnam did it all. Here is the best account ever of this fascinating aspect of the Vietnam War: Sgt. Ralph "Zippo" Zumbro’s evocative, action-packed memoir of a year with A Company, 1st Battalion, 69th Armor. Always bold, sometimes reckless, the "tread heads" who manned "The Ape," "Assassin," and "The A-Go-Go" devised new combat tactics -- often in the heat of battle. Cut off from supply lines, they became master jury riggers and scroungers. They shared

Reacting to the lightning successes of Germany’s blitzkrieg, the U.S. War Department began to develop a series of fast-moving, high velocity anti-tank guns on a variety of chassis, ranging from the Jeep to self-propelled armored vehicles, for use by the Army’s Tank Destroyer Command. Tank destroyers were also supplied to U.S. allies and served in almost every theater of World War II, and post-war in Korea and even later in Bosnia. More than 100 photos, 10 color profiles, black-and-white line drawings, color covers. 50 pages, soft cover, landscape format. Originally published 1998.

Amongst the first ever mass-produced tanks in history, the British Mk IV has been classified as one of the most successful heavy tanks to have fought in World War I. Mechanically similar to its predecessors, the Mark IV embodied various improvements, suggested by experience with earlier variants, including better armour, improved weapons and easier transportation.It proved its worth at the landmark battle of Cambrai in November 1917, when 460 Mark IVs were deployed for the first time against the enemy with great effect. Arguably changing the nature of war on the Western Front, the Mark IV was

In America’s island-hopping war against Japan, the U.S. Marines were our cutting edge. Yet, until now, little has been written about the desperate combats fought by the Marines’ own spearheads - their tanks. It is a story of trial and error, incredible courage, and finally, triumph. In the early island campaigns, Marine tankers went into battle inexperienced and inadequately trained. In a series of costly battles and jungle campaigns - Guadalcanal, New Georgia, Bouganville, Cape Gloucester, Tarawa, Marianas, Peleliu, Saipan and Okinawa - Marine tankers proved beyond doubt that t
