The United States Navy in World War II - Mark Stille

A comprehensive overview of the strategy, operations and vessels of the United States Navy from 1941 to 1945.Although slowly building its navy while neutral during the early years of World War II, the US was struck a serious blow when its battleships, the lynchpin of US naval doctrine, were the target of the dramatic attack at Pearl Harbor. In the Pacific Theatre, the US was thereafter locked into a head to head struggle with the impressive Imperial Japanese Navy, fighting a series of major battles in the Coral Sea, at Midway, the Philippine Sea, Leyte Gulf and Okinawa in the struggle for supremacy over Japan. Having avoided the decisive defeat sought by the IJN, the US increased industrial production and by the end of the war, the US Navy was larger than any other in the world.Meanwhile in the west, the US Navy operated on a second front, supporting landings in North Africa, Sicily, and Italy, and in 1944 played a significant part in the D-Day landings, the largest and most complex amphibious operation of all time. Written by an acknowledged expert and incorporating extensive illustrations including photographs, maps and colour artwork, this book offers a detailed look at the strategy, operations and vessels of the US Navy in World War II.

Norse Mythology - Finn D. Moore

The Norsemen of old Scandinavia were a tough and hardy people, best known today for their prowess in bloody combat and storytelling. Because they had no writing, the frightening reputation of warriors survives, but Norse mythology -- all storytelling -- is less known. This book documents the Norse myths that were sources of entertainment, comfort and explanations of the universe -- from animals to the seasons to the afterlife. Given that there are no surviving texts, the remaining myths have been changed through hundreds of years of oral tradition. Norse Mythology draws on Prose Edda and Poetic Edda, the two earliest and most faithful recordings of Norse myths. The chapters include: An introduction to Norse history and culture -- Vikings, long ships, and raiding Cyclical time: Runes, the creation of the Cosmos, First Gods Yggdrasil and the Nine Realms The Aesir Gods (Odin, Thor, Loki, Sif, Baldur, Idun) The Vanir Gods (Njord, Freyr, Freyja, The Mighty Thor) The Jotnar (Hela, Skadi, Skoll and Hati) Monsters and other creatures (Dwarves, light elves Sleipnir, Odin s eight-legged horse, Kraken, trolls) Other myths (why is the sea salty?) Ragnarok and the Rebirth of the World. Illustrated in color throughout and accompanied by maps and photos of archaeological treasures, this is a highly entertaining and informative read as the world of entertainment draws more stories from Norse mythology.

Working in the 21st Century - Mark Larson

From nurses and teachers to wildland firefighters and funeral directors—an intimate, honest, and illuminating collection of interviews that reveal what it’s like to work in America at this historic and volatile moment in time. Author Mark Larson sits down with more than one hundred workers from across the socioeconomic spectrum as they share their experiences with work and what it has meant in their lives—the good, the bad, the mundane, and the profound. Doulas, firefighters, chefs, hairstylists, executives, actors, stay-at-home parents, and so many more talk about what they do all day and how it aligns (or doesn t) with what they want to be doing with their lives. The pandemic, the ensuing “Great Resignation,” and the current reckonings with racial justice are among the forces that are now upending and reshaping our longstanding relationships with work. Larson’s interviews display how these forces collide in the lives of average Americans as they tell their own stories with passion, heartbreak, and, ultimately, hope.Working in the 21st Century asks why we show up—or don’t—to the jobs we’ve chosen, and how the upheaval of the past few years has changed how we perceive the work we do. It will be released to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of Studs Terkel s 1974 classic Working.

All the World on a Page - Andrew Kahn, Mark Lipovetsky

The rich and ongoing development of Russian lyric poetry, explored through close readings of thirty-four poems by poets ranging from Alexander Blok to Maria StepanovaThe Russian cultural tradition treats poetry as the supreme artistic form, with Alexander Pushkin as its national hero. Modern Russian lyric poets, often on the right side of history but the wrong side of their country⠙s politics, have engaged intensely with subjectivity, aesthetic movements, ideology (usually subversive), and literature itself. All the World on a Page gathers thirty-four poems, written between 1907 and 2022, presenting each poem in the original Russian and an English translation, accompanied by an essay that places the poem in its cultural, historical, and biographical contexts. The poems, both canonical and lesser-known works, extend across a range of moods and scenes: Velimir Khlebnikov⠙s Futurist revolutionary prophecy, Anna Akhmatova⠙s lyric cycle about poetic inspiration, Vladimir Nabokov⠙s Symbolist erotic dreamworld, Joseph Brodsky⠙s pastiche of a Chekhovian play set on a country estate, Maria Stepanova⠙s pandemic allegory of political repression, Galina Rymbu⠙s energetic manifesto ⠜My Vagina.⠝An introduction explores the abiding inspiration of modernism on the Russian lyric tradition. Kahn and Lipovetsky s separate chapter essays, informed by extensive knowledge of the existing scholarship and critical styles of interpretation, consider how the interplay of originality and tradition and form and voice work to engage the reader. The poems themselves, many of them in newly commissioned translations, operate outside state-mandated poetic styles to address the reader directly, ⠜tête-à -tête,⠝ as Brodsky said in his 1987 Nobel lecture. With each chapter devoted to a different poem, All the World on a Page allows readers to experience the richness of Russian poetry through poems and poets rather than through movements.

A History of the World in 100 Objects - Dr Neil MacGregor

Neil MacGregor s A History of the World in 100 Objects takes a bold, original approach to human history, exploring past civilizations through the objects that defined them. Encompassing a grand sweep of human history, A History of the World in 100 Objects begins with one of the earliest surviving objects made by human hands, a chopping tool from the Olduvai gorge in Africa, and ends with objects which characterise the world we live in today. Seen through MacGregor s eyes, history is a kaleidoscope - shifting, interconnected, constantly surprising, and shaping our world today in ways that most of us have never imagined. A stone pillar tells us about a great Indian emperor preaching tolerance to his people; Spanish pieces of eight tell us about the beginning of a global currency; and an early Victorian tea-set speaks to us about the impact of empire. An intellectual and visual feast, this is one of the most engrossing and unusual history books published in years. Brilliant, engagingly written, deeply researched Mary Beard, Guardian A triumph: hugely popular, and rightly lauded as one of the most effective and intellectually ambitious initiatives in the making of public history for many decades Sunday Telegraph Highly intelligent, delightfully written and utterly absorbing Timothy Clifford, Spectator This is a story book, vivid and witty, shining with insights, connections, shocks and delights Gillian Reynolds Daily Telegraph

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck / Everything Is F*cked Box Set - Mark Manson

Mark Manson’s smash New York Times bestsellers The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck and Everything is F*cked, now available together in one specially packaged box set. In his two groundbreaking books, celebrated anti-self-help authority Mark Manson shows us how to truly pursue a better life and gives us a better understanding of our world.The generation-defining self-help guide The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be “positive” and truly become better, happier people. Taking a much-needed, grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye approach, Mark Manson’s guide offers a dose of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor. Wise and genuine, it serves as a refreshing generational reset to help us all lead contented, grounded lives.In Everything Is F*cked, Manson shifts focus from overcoming individual flaws to the endless calamities occurring in the world around us. Drawing from the deep pool of psychological research on these topics, as well as the timeless wisdom of philosophers, including Plato, Nietzsche, and Tom Waits, he dissects religion and politics and the uncomfortable ways they have come to resemble one another. He explores our relationships with money, entertainment, and the internet, and how too much of a good thing can psychologically eat us alive. He openly defies our definitions of faith, happiness, freedom—and even of hope itself, teaching us to see the world and ourselves differently.
