"The PP Mi-D mine is a Czechoslovakian copy of the German Second World War Schu-mine 42 anti-personnel mine. It consists of a simple wooden box with a hinged lid that acts as the trigger mechanism. A slot is cut into the side of the lid which rests on the striker retaining pin. The main charge is a block of cast TNT into which a variety of fuzes may be placed, typically either the RO-1 or an MUV series fuze. The mine is triggered by pressure on the lid forcing the retaining pin out of the striker which then hits the detonator. It can be used with a tripwire connected to the fuze acting as a crude anti- handling device. There are also sometimes two holes drilled in the front of the box that accept wooden pins, either to prevent accidental detonation when laying or to increase the operating pressure. The wooden construction of the mine results in a short field life, with the box rotting or splitting preventing the mine from functioning. Specifications * Height: ** With fuze: 72 mm ** Without fuze: 59 mm * Width: 102 mm * Length: 136 mm * Weight: 500 g * Explosive content: 200 g of TNT * Sensitivity: 1 to 10 kg Users The mine was deployed in Angola and Namibia during the 1970s and 1980s.

"Miles Harvey is an American journalist and author. He is best known for his 2000 book, The Island of Lost Maps, which recounted the story of a Floridian named Gilbert Bland, who stole old and precious maps from libraries across America. Harvey graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1984 with a B.S. degree in journalism and earned an M.F.A. degree in English from the University of Michigan in 1991. He worked for United Press International, In These Times and Outside. While at Outside he wrote a 1997 story on Gilbert Bland, which was the origin for The Island of Lost Maps. Harvey states that he has had a lifelong fascination with maps, which he partially attributes to his father's similar interest. The Island of Lost Maps doesn't just tell the story of Bland's crimes, but also relates much cartographic lore and legend and includes material on Harvey's own life and family. He lives in Chicago and received a 2004 fellowship for fiction from the Illinois Arts Council. In 2008, Harvey published his second book, Painter in a Savage Land: The Strange Saga of the First European Artist in North America. This is a non-fiction work that chronicles Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues's adventures with the French expedition to Florida led by Jean Ribault during the sixteenth century.
