Splinter Fleet

The Wooden Subchasers of World War II

By: Theodore R Treadwell

Hastily built at the onset of World War II to stop German U-boats from taking their toll on Allied shipping, the 110-foot wooden subchasers were the smallest commissioned warships in the U.S. Navy, yet they saw as much action as ships ten times their size. In every theater of war these “expendable” workhorses of the fleet escorted countless convoys of slow-moving ships through submarine-infested waters, conducted endless mind-numbing antisubmarine patrols, and were used in hundreds of amphibious operations. Some subchasers worked as gunboats to search for and destroy enemy barges. Others rescued downed airmen and retrieved drowning soldiers under heavy enemy fire. During the German occupation of Norway, three American-built subchasers and their Norwegian crews came to be known as “The Shetlands Bus” for their clandestine work as ferries—the only link between Norway and the free world. This book, written by the commander of one of the subchasers, defines their place in naval history and gives readers a taste of life on board the wooden warships. Ringing with authenticity, it describes the cramped quarters and unforgiving seas as well as the tenacious courage and close bonds formed by the men as they sought out the enemy and confronted nature. Long overshadowed by the larger, faster warships and more glamorous PT boats of World War II, subchasers have been mostly forgotten. This work restores the plucky little ships to their hard-earned status as significant members of the fleet.

Self-Injurious Behavior in Intellectual Disabilities

By: Johannes Rojahn,Stephen R. Schroeder,Theodore A Hoch

Self-Injurious Behavior in Intellectual Disabilities gives a broad overview of the literature in the area of self-injurious behavior in people with intellectual disabilities, but most of the text is dedicated to the review of the behavioral and biological research in this field. In fact, it is our view that the most promising heuristic approach for the advancement of our understanding of this phenomenon and for its management and treatment is likely the bio-behavioral perspective in which behavior can be studied at the intersect of learning and the biological bases of behavior. We propose an overarching heuristic model, which we call the Gene-Brain-Behavior Model of Self-Injurious Behavior that presents a platform to integrate disparate, and previously isolated scientific approaches. - Written by 3 authors to provide cohesive coverage - Bridges the gap between psychological behavior and psychiatry - Examines the overlap between intellectual disabilities and developmental disabilities

Taste of Salt

A WWII Skipper Looks Back

By: Theodore R. Treadwell

Taste of Salt brings to life the World War II years in a captivating style that rivets the reader and solidifies the author's role as historian of the WWII subchasers. With fascinating photographs and text, Ted Treadwell describes the parallel lives of himself and his ship during the war years. Though Treadwell was an officer, he says his true rating at the start of the war should have been "Landlubber 1/c." He knew nothing about ships or the sea. In addition, he had a history of childhood motion sickness. But he wanted to be "where the action was." His romantic notion was that a proper naval officer should be on the high seas blazing away at the enemy. Today, he admits, "I was pretty dumb and reckless back then." Managing to wangle an assignment to U.S.S. SC 648, a 110" wooden subchaser, the smallest commissioned warship in the navy, he served on this vessel in the Southwest Pacific for two years, the last nine months as her commanding officer. "It was enough sea duty to last a lifetime," he says today. As in Treadwell's book, Splinter Fleet-The Wooden Subchasers of World War II, the people and the stories are all true.

Biosynthesis

By: Theodore Albert Geissman

Annotation. Specialist Periodical Reports provide systematic and detailed review coverage of progress in the major areas of chemical research. Written by experts in their specialist fields the series creates a unique service for the active research chemist, supplying regular critical in-depth accounts of progress in particular areas of chemistry. For over 80 years the Royal Society of Chemistry and its predecessor, the Chemical Society, have been publishing reports charting developments in chemistry, which originally took the form of Annual Reports. However, by 1967 the whole spectrum of chemistry could no longer be contained within one volume and the series Specialist Periodical Reports was born. The Annual Reports themselves still existed but were divided into two, and subsequently three, volumes covering Inorganic, Organic and Physical Chemistry. For more general coverage of the highlights in chemistry they remain a 'must'. Since that time the SPR series has altered according to the fluctuating degree of activity in various fields of chemistry. Some titles have remained unchanged, while others have altered their emphasis along with their titles; some have been combined under a new name whereas others have had to be discontinued.
