A Rumor of War: The Classic Vietnam Memoir

A Rumor of War: The Classic Vietnam Memoir

Philip Caputo

Picador USA
2017
nidottu
The 40th anniversary edition of the classic Vietnam memoir--featured in the PBS documentary series The Vietnam War by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick--with a new foreword by Kevin Powers In March of 1965, Lieutenant Philip J. Caputo landed at Danang with the first ground combat unit deployed to Vietnam. Sixteen months later, having served on the line in one of modern history's ugliest wars, he returned home--physically whole but emotionally wasted, his youthful idealism forever gone. A Rumor of War is far more than one soldier's story. Upon its publication in 1977, it shattered America's indifference to the fate of the men sent to fight in the jungles of Vietnam. In the years since then, it has become not only a basic text on the Vietnam War but also a renowned classic in the literature of wars throughout history and, as the author writes, of "the things men do in war and the things war does to them." "Heartbreaking, terrifying, and enraging. It belongs to the literature of men at war." --Los Angeles Times Book Review

A determined reporter and a reluctant FBI agent face off against fascist elements in this gripping historical thriller set in World War II-era Boston. Reporter Anne Lemire writes the Rumor Clinic, a newspaper column that disproves the many harmful rumors floating around town, some of them spread by Axis spies and others just gossip mixed with fear and ignorance. Tired of chasing silly rumors about Rosie Riveters' safety on the job, she wants to write about something bigger. Special Agent Devon Mulvey, one of the few Catholics at the FBI, spends his weekdays preventing industrial sabotage and his Sundays spying on clerics with suspect loyalties--and he spends his evenings wooing the many lonely women whose husbands are off at war. When Anne's story about Nazi propaganda intersects with Devon's investigation into the death of a factory worker, the two are led down a dangerous trail of espionage, organized crime, and domestic fascism--one that implicates their own tangled pasts and threatens to engulf the city in violence. With vibrant historical atmosphere and a riveting mystery that illuminates still-timely issues about disinformation and power, Thomas Mullen delivers another powerful thriller.

A young rogue resolves to reinvent himself. Through hard work and perseverance, he attains the ability to pass for a respectable member of the bourgeoisie, to ape their mannerisms, and simulate their enthusiasms. Thus equipped, he enters a respected university. His enjoyment of his new academic milieu - the material comforts, the feminine company - is immense, but as he becomes integrated into their social structures, he begins to discern the deviousness and dishonesty of the mandarins who compose this privileged group. The discovery leads him through a maze of deception, right wing philosophy, seduction, and violence. Internally at war with the malevolence that surrounds him, his choices are few: he can rely on the tools of his life of respectability - or he can fall back on the skills that he attained and perfected in his previous existence.

The Ruler's House

The Ruler's House

Harriet Fertik

Johns Hopkins University Press
2020
sidottu
How Romans used the world of the house to interpret and interrogate the role of the emperor.The Julio-Claudian dynasty, beginning with the rise of Augustus in the late first century BCE and ending with the death of Nero in 68 CE, was the first ruling family of the Roman Empire. Elite Romans had always used domestic space to assert and promote their authority, but what was different about the emperor's house? In The Ruler's House, Harriet Fertik considers how the emperor's household and the space he called home shaped Roman conceptions of power and one-man rule. While previous studies of power and privacy in Julio-Claudian Rome have emphasized the emperor's intrusions into the private lives of his fellow elites, this book focuses on Roman ideas of the ruler's lack of privacy. Fertik argues that houses were spaces that Romans used to contest power and to confront the contingency of their own and others' claims to rule. Describing how the Julio-Claudian period provoked anxieties not only about the ruler's power but also about his vulnerability, she reveals that the ruler's house offered a point of entry for reflecting on the interdependence and intimacy of ruler and ruled. Fertik explores the world of the Roman house, from family bonds and elite self-display to bodily functions and relations between masters and slaves. She draws on a wide range of sources, including epic and tragedy, historiography and philosophy, and art and architecture, and she investigates shared conceptions of power in elite literature and everyday life in Roman Pompeii. Examining political culture and thought in early imperial Rome, The Ruler's House confronts the fragility of one-man rule.

The Rumen Protozoa

The Rumen Protozoa

Alan G. Williams; Geoffrey S. Coleman

Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
2011
nidottu
All ruminants are dependent on the microorganisms that live in their forestomach - the rumen - to break down ingested feed constituents into a form that the host animal can utilize. Protozoa are part of this complex ruminal population and are essential for the nutritional well-being and productivity of the host ruminant. Over 30 different genera (nearly 300 species) of protozoa from the rumen ecosystem have been described since their initial discovery nearly 150 years ago. This book brings together, for the first time, the available information on these protozoa. It comprehensively describes the characteristic anatomical features of value for their identification and includes detailed sections on techniques and methodologies for the isolation and cultivation of these fastidious, oxygen-sensitive microorganisms. Their occurrence, biochemistry, physiology, and role in the ruminal ecosystem are fully reviewed. Particular emphasis is given to potential improvement of the nutrition and productivity of the host ruminant through manipulation of the protozoal population and its activities.

A Ruler's Consort in Early Modern Germany

A Ruler's Consort in Early Modern Germany

Judith P. Aikin

Routledge
2014
sidottu
The wives of rulers in early modern Europe did far more than provide heirs for their principalities and adornment for their courts. In this study, Judith Aikin examines the exceptionally well-documented actions of one such woman, Aemilia Juliana of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt (1637-1706), in order to expand our understanding of the role of ruler’s consort in the small principalities characteristic of Germany during this period. Aikin explores a wide range of writings by her subject, including informal letters to another woman, hundreds of devotional song texts, manuscript books both devotional and practical, and published pamphlets and books. Also important for this study are the plays, paintings, and musical works that adorned the court under Aemilia Juliana’s patronage; the books, poems, and sermons published in her honor; and the massive memorial volume printed and distributed soon after her death. This material, when coupled with the more scanty record in official documents, reveals the nature and scope of Aemilia Juliana’s role as full partner in the ruling couple. Among the most important findings based on this evidence are those related to Aemilia Juliana’s advocacy for women of all social classes through her authorship and publications, her support for the education of girls, her efforts to ameliorate the fear and suffering of pregnant and birthing women, and her contributions to female support networks. In examining the career of a consort whose various activities are so well documented, this study helps to fill in the blanks in the documentary record of numerous consorts across early modern Europe, and serves as a model for future research on other consorts at other courts.

A Rumor of Justice

Tom Bernstein

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2014

The Flathead Valley in northwest Montana may look like a paradise, but beneath the pastoral surface it has all the drama - both tragic and comic - of any other place. A Rumor of Justice paints a portrait of small town life that is universal. It is a story of several people caught up in a conflict of truth - and consequences: Eli March - a young man falsely accused of a crime, struggling to prove his innocence in a place rife with gossip, where most minds are made up long before he gets his day in court. Jennifer Lawson - a public defender with a tragic past that drives her to succeed, even if she must publicly humiliate and destroy anyone who gets in her way. Flathead County Sheriff Mike Montgomery - a man torn between duty to his community and commitment to his family. Dexter Ksunka - Eli's uncle - skilled in many areas, yet unbound by ethics, willing to employ whatever measures are necessary to confirm his nephew's innocence. These are people we work with, and who live in our neighborhoods. We attend the same church, and shop in in the same supermarket. Our children go to school together. We all travel the same road. But their lives have taken a very ill-fated detour. And the truth can be told in countless ways.
