What if World War II never happened? What if a group of daring individuals conspired to keep the world from being engulfed in senseless, tragic war? The Interwar (1918-1936) Period is often glossed over in many history classes, and it is characterized by the foolish policy of appeasement. This Alternate History novel explores the possibility of using historical events and figures to prevent the Second World War altogether. It is widely known that most of the populace of Western nations during the Interwar Period were opposed to war and that large numbers of people were disillusioned by the First World War shattering their perception of "honorable" or "glorious" war. Please keep your criticism constructive, as I am just a high schooler writing alternate history novels out of interest for the genre.

Fundamental of Engineering Electromagnetics not only presents the fundamentals of electromagnetism in a concise and logical manner, but also includes a variety of interesting and important applications. While adapted from his popular and more extensive work, Field and Wave Electromagnetics, this text incorporates a number of innovative pedagogical features. Each chapter begins with an overview which serves to offer qualitative guidance to the subject matter and motivate the student. Review questions and worked examples throughout each chapter reinforce the student's understanding of the material. Remarks boxes following the review questions and margin notes throughout the book serve as additional pedagogical aids.

Respected for its accuracy, its smooth and logical flow of ideas, and its clear presentation, Field and Wave Electromagnetics has become an established textbook in the field of electromagnetics. This book builds the electromagnetic model using an axiomatic approach in steps: first for static electric fields, then for static magnetic fields, and finally for time-varying fields leading to Maxwells equations. This approach results in an organized and systematic development of the subject matter. Applications of derived relations to fundamental phenomena and electromagnetic technologies are explained.
