America's Fighting Admirals

Winning the War at Sea in World War II

By: William Tuohy

American naval actions of World War II comprise the most widespread, complex, and dramatic battles in the history of sea warfare. The fighting took place over vast distances in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, as well as in the constricted spaces of the Mediterranean and Solomon seas. Each of the major actions had an admiral, the commander in charge, who led the battle. In combat, the abilities and determination of these commanders at sea were put to the most severe test. Americas Fighting Admirals describes the course of U.S. sea action in World War II. It examines the skills, strengths, weaknesses and personalities of the American admirals who fought the battles at sea. It examines the effect that stress, tension, and responsibility have on commanders making vital decisions in the red-hot crucible of battle. And it reveals the changing nature of the responsibilities of flag officers as the war progressed and became enormously complex.

Whispers in the Cedars

Port Gibson, Mississippi’s Wintergreen Cemetery

By: William Sanders

Whispers in the Cedars: Port Gibson, Mississippi's Wintergreen Cemetery by William L. Sanders “The purpose of this book is not only to list those laid to rest in this beautiful, historic burial ground, but also to provide an easy and accurate way to locate specific graves, by using the maps and locations referenced within.” In this, author Sanders has admirably succeeded. Thoroughly researched, Whispers in the Cedars provides a systematic guide to this revered resting place in Port Gibson, Mississippi. Wanting “to let the stones speak” for themselves, Mr. Sanders records the information contained on each gravestone. And an extensive Index of Last Names offers ready access to the contents. “It is my sincere wish that the reader will find this book not only valuable as a genealogical reference tool, but may find it entertaining as well. I hope you enjoy it!” Again, a wish fulfilled in this book of remembrance and dedication.

Down In The Weeds - Close Air Support In Korea

By: William Y’Blood

Before the Korean War, the primary mission of Lt. Gen. George E. Stratemeyer’s Far East Air Forces was air defense of the Japanese homeland. Most of the aircraft constituting Stratemeyer’s inventory were interceptors, not designed for the type of combat that would be required now that the United States was joining in the UN effort to end the war in Korea. The Joint Army/USAAF doctrine of 1946, known as Field Manual 31–35, Air Ground Operations, was also considered outdated in the present circumstance. A new approach to warfighting had to be developed in response to the strong influence of General Douglas MacArthur and other of his air officers in the Army-dominated General Headquarters Far East Command. Close air support of the ground forces as provided by Fifth Air Force came at some cost, and tempers flared in the process, but the air commanders in Korea never deprived the ground commanders of close air support if it was needed. Indeed, without the close air support provided to the airmen, the ground campaign would have been a much more bloody and difficult affair than it was.

Admiral Halsey’s Story [Illustrated Edition]

By: Fleet Admiral William F. Halsey

Contains more than 30 illustrations of the Author, his ships and the engagements. The term Legend is bandied about far too much these days to describe anyone who has achieved even limited prominence in their chosen field; however Legend is quite the accurate one for Fleet Admiral William “Bull” Halsey. Although a modest man who once said that “There are no great men, just great challenges which ordinary men, out of necessity, are forced by circumstances to meet.”; it is clear that the challenges that he met were extraordinary in the Pacific theatre during the Second World War. Bold, brash and determined Halsey led the first offensive against the Japanese Navy in command of the carrier group that launched the Doolittle raid; his aggressive thrusting style led to him spearheading nearly every major US Navy attack on the Japanese. In this age of soundbites Halsey is still continually quoted for the pithy wit that he often coined such as his slogan for the Navy -“Hit hard, hit fast, hit often”. Halsey left his imprint across the entire Pacific War and his autobiography is sure to interest any Naval or History buff.

African Americans of Calvert County

By: William A. Poe

Nestled between the Chesapeake Bay and the Patuxent River, this tiny peninsula county is home to one of the oldest African American communities, established when the first settlers arrived. Located just south of Washington, D.C., Calvert County's African American community can be traced back to the county's beginning in the 17th century. From a time when Calvert County's black population grew to approximately 60 percent of the populace, to its present-day residents representing the national average of 12 percent, Calvert's African Americans have attempted to hold on to many of their rich cultural traditions. Although their livelihoods as farmers and watermen have mostly ceased to exist these days, they continue to maintain strong ties to the land and an unwavering commitment to family values and community. The beautiful photographs and documents in this volume give a glimpse into the past of these proud people who continue to flourish while holding onto their distinctive identity.

Admirals of the World

A Biographical Dictionary, 1500 to the Present

By: William Stewart

This work provides biographies of more than 500 men and women who have served as admiral, vice admiral, or rear admiral. While officers from the U.S., British, French and Japanese navies make up the bulk of the work, officers from 22 countries, including Australia, Canada, Germany, India, Italy, the Netherlands, Russia, and Spain, are also included. The main criterion for inclusion is that each person must have actively served in the rank of at least rear admiral, but not necessarily in enemy action. This effectively rules out people who were granted the rank on retirement, as a courtesy title or posthumously. The book also includes lists of admirals organized by nationality and by year of birth.

The Art of Scientific Writing

From Student Reports to Professional Publications in Chemistry and Related Fields

By: Hans F. Ebel,Claus Bliefert,William E. Russey

Fur die meisten Wissenschaftler hei?t es: "Schreib' oder stirb!", aber nur die wenigsten wurden sich deshalb als passionierte oder gar brilliante Schreibkunstler bezeichnen. Um all jenen zur Hilfe zu kommen, die beim Abfassen wissenschaftlicher Texte auch auf den Schreibstil achten mochten, haben sich drei erfahrene Vielschreiber zusammengetan und diesen einzigartigen Leitfaden uber das Verfassen wissenschaftlicher Texte erstellt. Das Schwergewicht liegt dabei auf der richtigen Schreibtechnik, der Verwendung formaler Standards und vor allem einer klaren und unmissverstandlichen Darstellung wissenschaftlicher Sachverhalte. Diese lang erwartete neue Auflage eines Klassikers wurde von den Autoren vollstandig uberarbeitet, um den zum Teil dramatischen Veranderungen in der Form wissenschaftlicher Kommunikation des letzten Jahrzehnts gerecht zu werden. Durch seinen umfangreichen Anhang und ausfuhrlichen Index ist dieses Buch daruber hinaus ein unverzichtbares Nachschlagewerk, das jeder Verfasser wissenschaftlicher Texte, egal ob angehender Student oder etablierter Wissenschaftler, immer zur Hand haben sollte. "Ein Schatz an Informationen in einem einzigen Buch von handhabbarem Ausma?en. Studenten, die ein Experiment protokollieren, sowie Ihre Lehrer, die eine Veroffentlichung oder Vorlesung vorbereiten, werden in diesem Buch einen standigen Begleiter finden." (European Science Editing)
