A major introduction to the theory and practice of warfare in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

World War II remains the largest conflict humanity has ever seen, both in terms of scale and loss of life. The war involved virtually every part of the world during the years 1939–1945. A perfect introduction to the conflict, A Chronology of World War II is an authoritative, accessible, and short narrative giving a history of events as they occurred. This book is divided into two parts, structured chronologically. Part I follows the European, Mediterranean, and African theatres of war, while Part II examines the conflict in the Pacific. Throughout the book, there is a timeline putting key events into historical context. Expertly and objectively told by Dr. David Jordan, A Chronology of World War II provides an excellent account of the causes of the war, how it developed into a global conflict, how its campaigns fared, and how it changed the map of the world.

This revised standard for object database management systems serves as a crucial guide to emerging trends in object-oriented and database technology. It reflects a significant industry consensus on component technology for database products and languages, facilitating the widespread adoption of object database technology. ODMG 2.0 aims to achieve what SQL did for relational databases by ensuring application portability across various platforms and products. The standard seeks to merge programming languages with database systems into a unified environment, enhancing performance and enabling more robust representations for complex database applications. ODMG 2.0 builds on related efforts from ANSI SQL92 and the OMG Object Model and Interface Definition Language. Key enhancements include a new binding for Sun's Java programming language that merges the safety and pure object orientation of Smalltalk with the robust data and syntax of C++, along with security and automatic program transfer capabilities over the Internet. Additionally, the ODMG object model has been thoroughly rewritten and expanded to provide a detailed specification of object database semantics across multiple programming languages. A standard external form for data and data schema has also been established to facilitate data interchange between databases, alongside updates to the chapters on C++, Smalltalk, and Object Query Language.
