The Sherman tank served with most Allied armies during the Second World War and it is justly famous for the role it played in the Normandy landings and the subsequent drive into Germany. But the part played by the British commonwealth armored units in the Italian campaign is less well known and in his latest volume in the TankCraft series Dennis Oliver uses wartime photos, extensively researched text and highly-detailed color illustrations to cover the Sherman tanks of the Canadian, New Zealand and South African armies that battled their way up the Italian peninsula. Although it was often out-gunned by its opponents the Sherman’s ability to handle the worst terrain and its mechanical reliability ensured that it was at the forefront of every battle and contributed greatly to the final Allied victory. Examined in this book are both the 75mm armed version and the potent tank killer referred to toady as the Firefly, as well as a number of little-known field modifications.

The Pzkpfw III tank was the mainstay of the Panzer divisions during the Blitzkrieg era and made up the bulk of the armored force sent to North Africa. Although less heavily armored than many of its opponents it was sturdy and reliable and its main armament was the equal of any enemy weapon it was called upon to face. Operating in one of the most inhospitable environments on earth the Pzkpfw III was at the forefront of the dramatic advances of 1941 and the defensive efforts of the following year, all undertaken in the incredible vastness of the Libyan desert. This volume of the TankCraft series concludes the story of the tank’s North African service, examining the models that took part in the campaign beginning with the retreat from El Alamein and ending with the surrender of the last Axis forces in Tunisia in May 1943.

In modern naval warfare, offensive and defensive mine operations and the ships that perform them often take a back seat to the more glamorous carrier strike groups, strategic deterrence patrols and anti-submarine operations. Despite their relatively small size and numbers, minecraft have enormous strategic and tactical value. With more than 200 photos, this book details the histories and specifications of more than 2,200 vessels that have served as minelayers and minesweepers, from World War I to today. Rare examples include the U.S. Navy's only purpose-built mine-laying submarine, and the remarkable 36-foot "mini minesweeper."

Tanks are the symbol of modern warfare and the most important military innovation since gunpowder. Their development was a response to the static and trench warfare that characterised the First World War, where available military technology favoured the defenders over the attackers. Their introduction on the battlefields, and the impressive technological evolution that took place between the two wars, changed the way of conceiving combat forever, and Germany was the driving force behind this process with studies, research and designs churned out at a steady pace from the 1920s onwards. This book traces the history of the German Panzer from the first A7Vs to the studies carried out during the Weimar Republic up to the grand rearmament conducted by Adolf Hitler's regime. A history of military technology that made giant strides in little more than twenty years, able to catch up with France and England to finish ahead of even the United States and the Soviet Union. The book covers almost one hundred armoured vehicles in the time span from the First World War to the outbreak of the Second, which began with the invasion of Poland on 1 September 1939. A history of the Panzerwaffe told through its tanks, the real protagonists of the Blitzkrieg and of Germany's resounding victories in the early years of the conflict.

This book aims to increase the visibility of Data Science in real-world, which differs from what you learn from a typical textbook. Many aspects of day-to-day Data Science work are almost absent from conventional statistics, Machine Learning, and Data Science curriculum. Yet these activities account for a considerable share of the time and effort for data professionals in the industry. Based on industry experience, this book outlines real-world scenarios and discusses pitfalls that Data Science practitioners should avoid. It also covers the Big Data cloud platform and the art of Data Science, such as soft skills. The authors use R as the primary tool and provide code for both R and Python.
