Tokyo Rose / An American Patriot explores the parallel lives of World War II legend Tokyo Rose and a Japanese American woman named Iva Toguri. Trapped in Tokyo during the war and forced to broadcast on Japanese radio, Toguri nonetheless refused to renounce her U.S. citizenship and surreptitiously aided Allied POWs. Despite these patriotic actions, she foolishly identified herself to the press after the war as Tokyo Rose. An examination of U.S.-monitored English language radio transcripts from Japan between December, 1941 and April, 1942 shows only one innocuous broadcast by a female. Yet in April, 1942 a news correspondent with the U.S. Navy reported that sailors in the Pacific theater routinely listened to Tokyo Rose's propaganda. This book assembles for the first time a collection of images from American pre-war popular culture that provided impetus for the legend. It analyzes the wartime situation of servicemen, which caused their imaginations to create the mythical femme fatale even though no Japanese announcer ever used the name Tokyo Rose. Using interviews conducted over decades, this dual biography also explores Toguri's character and decisions by placing her story and conviction for treason in the context of U.S. and Japanese racial views, Imperial Japan, and Cold War politics. New research findings prompt a different perspective on her sensational trial, the most expensive in U.S. history up to that time. Misguided strategy by Toguri's defense attorney and her deceptive testimony about a key event led to the jury's verdict as surely as the perjury suborned by prosecutors.
Quasiconformal Teichmuller Theory

Quasiconformal Teichmuller Theory

The Teichmuller space $T(X)$ is the space of marked conformal structures on a given quasi conformal surface $X$. This volume uses quasi conformal mapping to give a unified and up-to-date treatment of $T(X)$. Emphasis is placed on parts of the theory applicable to non compact surfaces and to surfaces possibly of infinite analytic type. The book provides a treatment of deformations of complex structures on infinite Riemann surfaces and gives background for further research in many areas. These include applications to fractal geometry, to three-dimensional manifolds through its relationship to Kleinian groups, and to one-dimensional dynamics through its relationship to quasi symmetric mappings. Many research problems in the application of function theory to geometry and dynamics are suggested.

In this study, author Frederick P. Thieme presents data on biological characteristics of the population of Puerto Rico. He includes data on nutrition, dental status, intestinal infestation, blood types, and more: data he gathered during fieldwork in 1948 and 1949. Thieme’s goals were to set up a baseline as a point of comparison; to study the relationship between physical variability and environment; and to pave the way for establishing medical standards for Puerto Rico.

Cadet Gray: A Pictorial History of Life at West Point as Seen Through Its Uniforms is a book that explores the history of the United States Military Academy at West Point through the evolution of its uniforms. Written by Frederick P. Todd, the book is a comprehensive guide to the uniforms worn by cadets at West Point, from the early days of the academy to the present day.The book is divided into chapters that cover different periods in the academy's history, with each chapter focusing on the changes and developments in the uniforms worn by cadets during that time. The book features over 200 illustrations, including photographs, drawings, and paintings, that showcase the different uniforms and their variations over time.In addition to the visual history of the uniforms, the book also provides context and background information on the events and people that shaped the academy's history. It covers topics such as the Civil War, World War I and II, and the Vietnam War, as well as the important figures who have attended West Point, such as Robert E. Lee, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and Colin Powell.Overall, Cadet Gray: A Pictorial History of Life at West Point as Seen Through Its Uniforms is a fascinating and informative book that provides a unique perspective on the history of the United States Military Academy at West Point. It is a must-read for anyone interested in military history, uniforms, or the history of West Point.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
