Saipan

Oral Histories of the Pacific War

By: Bruce M. Petty

The battle for Saipan is remembered as one of the bloodiest battles fought in the Pacific during World War II, and was a turning point on the road to the defeat of Japan. In this work, the survivors--including Pacific Islanders on whose land the Americans and Japanese fought their war--have the opportunity to tell their stories in their own words. The author offers an introduction to the volume and arranges the oral histories by location--Saipan, Yap and Tinian, Rota, Palau Islands, and Guam--in the first half, and by branch of service in the second half.

Fundamentals of Media Effects

Third Edition

By: Jennings Bryant,Bruce W. Finklea

Media permeate our lives and are so omnipresent that we take them for granted and overlook their impact. Mobile communication devices, the internet, and social networking sites have transformed the way we live. The media inform us about everything from a polarized electorate to a global pandemic. The potential of media to influence beliefs and behavior is a longstanding topic in media research. This thoroughly revised edition offers an up-to-date look at media effects literature. Fundamentals of Media Effects, 3/e begins with a historical overview of media effects and then covers foundational theories. Research spotlights throughout the text help readers understand how theories translate into specific studies. Understanding the history and theory behind media effects scholarship aids readers in navigating the media-saturated environment. The final section looks at effects in ten key areas: media violence, media sexual content, frightening media content, political communication, health, stereotyping, educational television, video games, the internet, and mobile communication. For more than two decades, the primary goal of Fundamentals of Media Effects has been to present the vitally important topic of media effects in an expansive yet comprehensible format. Compelling discussions include myriad examples from recent scholarship to engage reader interest. Through exploration of mass communication theories and major areas of research, readers develop media literacy skills and become better media consumers and producers.

Dear Cathy

By: Bruce Anders & Tom Swicegood

DEAR CATHY "The World's Longest Letter" Written by Bruce Anders * Edited by Tom Swicegood "Dear Cathy," an unintentional masterpiece originally three-thousand pages in length and years in the writing, has all the fun and good-humor of Guinness' World's Longest Letter. But would you read an American sailor's uncensored mail? Of course you would! This brilliantly edited version of Bruce Anders' hand-written letter reads like a peek into the "best parts" of a young man's personal diary. It is sexy and shocking - a candid series of increasingly dark and randy adventures on three continents. Patriotic Bruce candidly bares his soul about girlfriends, sailors, sex, drugs, and military action in the United States Navy, bitching and telling jokes all the way from boot camp in Orlando, to Iceland, to the volatile Middle-East. Then, when Bruce least expects it, the worst thing ever to happen to a man changes his life forever. Bruce, who once had hundreds of friends in the Navy, discovers that not all shipmates and senior officers can be trusted as he takes his reader with him on a strange and increasingly exciting ride. Almost twenty years later, he comes up from horrendous episodes of homoerotic persecution, adding valuable and explosive true details to this presentation of "Dear Cathy," the World's Longest Letter!
