United States Army Aviators' Equipment, 1917-1945 - C.g. Sweeting - Bog - McFarland & Co Inc - Plusbog.dk

United States Army Aviators' Equipment, 1917-1945 - C.g. Sweeting - Bog - McFarland & Co Inc - Plusbog.dk

Seven decades after World War II, we now know that the margin between Allied victory and defeat was often narrower than many realized. The decisive actions of leaders, generals and war heroes have been well documented, but less well known are the technological developments that made victory possible and laid the groundwork for postwar progress. Based on more than ten years of research, this book describes how American airmen became the best-outfitted aviators of the war, tracing the development of virtually every piece of personal equipment used by United States air forces. Drawing on original sources including formerly classified documents, the author details the myriad types of respirator equipment, parachutes, body armor, pressure suits and other flying and survival gear that were instrumental in making U.S. pilots and air crews effective. Personal anecdotes bring to life the design and testing of combat flight equipment. More than 160 photographs are included, most published here for the first time.

Dog of the Decade - Deborah Thompson - Bog - McFarland & Co Inc - Plusbog.dk

Dog of the Decade - Deborah Thompson - Bog - McFarland & Co Inc - Plusbog.dk

What do dogs mean in America? How do Americans make meaning through their dogs? The United States has long expressed its cultural unconscious through canine iconography. Through our dogs, we figure out what we''re thinking and who we are, representing by proxy the things that we don''t quite want to recognize in ourselves. Often, it''s a specific breed or type of dog that serves as an informal cultural mascot, embodying an era''s needs, fears, desires, longings, aspirations, repressions, and hopeless contradictions. Combining cultural studies with personal narrative, this book creates a playful, speculative reading of American culture through its canine self-representations. Looking at seven different breeds or types over the last seven decades, readers will go on an intellectual dog walk through some of the mazes of American cultural mythology.

The Cold War Defense of the United States - John E. Bronson - Bog - McFarland & Co Inc - Plusbog.dk

The Cold War Defense of the United States - John E. Bronson - Bog - McFarland & Co Inc - Plusbog.dk

During the Cold War, as part of its defense strategy against the Soviet Union, the U.S. was forced to establish means of massive long-range attack in response to Soviet advancements in weaponry. These defenses detected and tracked manned bomber aircraft, hostile submarines and missiles launched from the other side of the world. This book shows how these defenses evolved from fledgling stop-gap measures into a complex fabric of interconnected combinations of high-tech equipment over 40 years. Maps illustrate the extent of the geographic coverage required for these warning and response systems and charts display the time frames and vast numbers of both people and equipment that made up these forces.

Man Writes Dog - William Farina - Bog - McFarland & Co Inc - Plusbog.dk

Man Writes Dog - William Farina - Bog - McFarland & Co Inc - Plusbog.dk

Over the millennia, many great writers, from Pliny and Plutarch to C.S. Lewis and John Steinbeck, have addressed diverse canine themes in their work, usually in a broader, human context. Late in the 20th century it was conclusively established by modern science that all dogs, without exception, are descended from wolves. Viewed through the dynamic lens of this new model, the constantly evolving relationship between humankind and canines, both wild and domesticated, appears more complex and intertwined than ever before. This survey reviews what 20 selected authors from the Western tradition have had to say on the same subject matter leading up to our present times.

Dogs of the Railways - Jill Lenk Schilp - Bog - McFarland & Co Inc - Plusbog.dk

Dogs of the Railways - Jill Lenk Schilp - Bog - McFarland & Co Inc - Plusbog.dk

This is the story of the vagabond canines that hopped on railroads across the United States, often becoming celebrities and national heroes. Chapters introduce canines like Owney, guardian of the railway mail service; Fala, FDR''s beloved dog and train-companion; Annie, the Colorado railway ambassador; the K9 patrols who watch over the tracks; and many more. As railroads were changing America, these raildogs were changing the people who lived and worked in rail communities. For the dogs of the railways, home became the hearts of the people of the railroad. More than the dogs themselves, this book is about the human-animal relationship between a dog and a community and moments in history where that relationship symbolized the quest for home and belonging, a search that humans often share with our canine travelers.

The Sporting Goods Industry - Richard A. Lipsey - Bog - McFarland & Co Inc - Plusbog.dk

The last 20 years have brought remarkable growth and change to the sporting goods industry. The term "sporting goods" once comprised only equipment like golf clubs, basketballs and tennis rackets.

This work, both a valuable text for students and an indispensable handbook for professionals, offers insight into every major function of the sporting goods industry. Chapters cover the development of the industry; the industry''s structure and size; manufacturers'' products and market shares; channels of distribution; sports medicine and product liability; sports marketing, including licensing, endorsement and sponsorship; the use of traditional media and market research; sales trends and profitability; and e-commerce. Each chapter includes discussion questions and exercises. Appendices provide directories of sporting goods vendors, retailers, and multi-sport media and trade associations.

The Force-Free Dilemma - Nicola Ferguson - Bog - McFarland & Co Inc - Plusbog.dk

The Force-Free Dilemma - Nicola Ferguson - Bog - McFarland & Co Inc - Plusbog.dk

Dog training methodology is an increasingly hotly contested topic. A number of vocal trainers insist that dogs should be instructed through exclusively positive reinforcement, and that training should be totally force-free. Popularized through social media, the force-free training movement has grown into a lucrative, billion-dollar industry, but the consequences may outweigh the positives. This book examines the current state of dog training and discusses ethical alternatives to force-free methods. Chapters cover the history of dog training, common myths, equipment, and the merits of balanced training methods that don''t dogmatically avoid occasional force.

Hoplites at War - Fred Eugene Ray Jr - Bog - McFarland & Co Inc - Plusbog.dk

Hoplites at War - Fred Eugene Ray Jr - Bog - McFarland & Co Inc - Plusbog.dk

It has been 2500 years since the Greek heavy infantry known as hoplites dominated the battlefield. Yet they still capture the imagination today, through a wave of successful action films, novels and documentaries. The mass-media popularity of these famed warriors has, however, helped spawn a number of misconceptions about them. Drawing on classical literature, archaeology and the latest data from physical, behavioral and medical science, this study of hoplite equipment, tactics and command seeks to separate modern myths from observable facts. The authors resolve some persistent controversies and advance new theories about the nature of ancient Greek warfare.

Scientifical Americans - Sharon A. Hill - Bog - McFarland & Co Inc - Plusbog.dk

Scientifical Americans - Sharon A. Hill - Bog - McFarland & Co Inc - Plusbog.dk

In the 21st century, reality television and the Internet have fed public interest in ghosts, UFOs, cryptozoology and other unusual phenomena. By 2010, roughly 2000 amateur research and investigation groups formed in the U.S.--ghost hunters, Bigfoot chasers and UFO researchers, using an array of (supposedly) scientific equipment and methods to prove the existence of the paranormal. American culture''s honorific regard for science, coupled with the public''s unfamiliarity with scientific methods, created a niche for self-styled paranormal experts to achieve national renown without scientific training or credentials. The author provides a comprehensive examination of the ideas, missions and methods promoted by these passionate amateurs.
