Practically Over - Anglo-Boer War 1899-1902 by Robin Smith
Each of the parts of Practically Over is an account of a particular action during the Anglo Boer war of 1899-1902. Both English and Afrikaans sources, both primary and secondary, have been used to write the narrative but each and every one of the battle sites of the clashes reported here have been physically visited by the author, in some cases a number of times.Many of the maps and diagrams have been drawn by hand, but from sources such as the modern survey maps and also from the Imperial maps of 1900 which bear the signature of Colonel G.F.R. "Frank" Henderson.Political aspects are largely avoided as many aspects of the war remain sensitive for some of South Africa's population groups. Even so not everyone will agree with the conclusions drawn. There are at least two sides to every question - and often many more.Professor Robin Smith is the Director of the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology's (UMIST) Centre for Process Integration. Prior to joining UMIST, he worked in industry with Rohm & Haas in process analysis and design, as well as ICI in computer-aided design and process integration. He was a member of the ICI Process Integration Team, which was one of the first to use process integration design approaches in industry. He has vast experience as a consultant in process integration projects since joining UMIST. He is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, a Fellow of the Institution of Chemical Engineers in the United Kingdom, and a chartered engineer who has published substantially in the topic of chemical process design and integration. For his contributions in clean process technology, he received the Hanson Medal from the Institution of Chemical Engineers in the United Kingdom in 1992.
