During World War II, the submarine service of the U.S. Navy suffered the highest percentage of losses of any branch of the American armed forces, with almost one in five vessels failing to return. Despite these heavy losses, however, submarines accounted for more than fifty-five percent of Japanese shipping losses. This book, first published in 1994 in hardcover, chronicles the careers of all fifty-two U.S. submarines lost during the war--their successes, failures, and fates. With some thirty photographs and a wealth of first-hand material, it offers a compelling look at a legendary fleet.

English | 1991 | ISBN: 0292746636, 029272926X | PDF | pages: 347 | 34.2 mb
The Inka empire, Tawantinsuyu, fell to Spanish invaders within a year's time (1532-1533), but Quechua, the language of the Inka, is still the primary or only language of millions of Inka descendants throughout the southern Andes. In this innovative study, Bruce Mannheim synthesizes all that is currently known about the history of Southern Peruvian Quechua since the Spanish invasion, providing new insights into the nature of language change in general, into the social and historical contexts of language change, and into the cultural conditioning of linguistic change.

There is now a long tradition of academic literature in media studies and criminology that has analysed how we come to think about crime, deviance and punishment. This book for the first time deals specifically with the role of language in this process, showing how critical linguistic analysis can provide further crucial insights into media representations of crime and criminals. Through case studies the book develops a toolkit for the analysis of language and images in examples taken from a range of media.
