Good Coverage About The War In The Pacific
I've been reading World War II history for over 30 years, and I've read books on just about every battle fought in the Pacific.I thought this book did a good job of covering the basic aspects of the major battles in the Pacific.Let me preface this statement by saying that the author does not go into a great amount of detail involving each battle.Rather, he provides the reader with more of a thumbnail sketch, along with hitting the high notes of the battle.The historical accuracy is good for the most part (there are some misspellings along the way), and the maps help out, too.

What I did enjoy about this book was the discussion on code-breaking as well as the Americans' decision to use the island-hopping strategy to isolate Japanese garrisons and let them "whither on the vine" instead of assaulting them directly.This strategy worked out well against such places as Rabaul and Truk, where the Japanese were simply cut off by the advancing Americans.Unable to be reinforced or re-supplied, the Japanese on these isolated islands were left to fend for themselves.The analysis of code-breaking was handled well, too.The inclusion of the Navajo code talkers and how they frustrated the Japanese was interesting to read about.

The strategy used by Nimitz, MacArthur, King, Marshall, and Roosevelt is another interesting part of the book.Many times, the various battles are just discussed, but I enjoyed the way Mr. Hopkins incorporated strategy into the context of his book.There are discussions on all of the major conferences which took place during the Pacific war, from Arcadia to Potsdam.The outcomes and decisions made are explained by Mr. Hopkins as well as how these decisions ultimately affected the Pacific war.

I highly recommend this book.The reader needs to remember that this book is a one-volume overview of the war in the Pacific.That being said, the content is very good, and the book does a good job of covering all aspects of the Pacific war.Don't read this book for an in-depth analysis of a certain battle; use it as a tool to get a general understanding of the Pacific war.

Rather uneven
I suppose if you haven't read much about the Pacific War, this would be a good short book.But the treatment is rather uneven and the book can never quite decide if it wants to be a review of high-level strategy or a series of snippets of low-level fighting.A paragraph about the Joint Chiefs of Staff, for instance, may be followed by a paragraph on the adventurers of a submariner getting out of a wrecked vessel, and there's no real sense of linkage between the two events.There's some useful comparison of "what they thought then" versus "what we know now", but I didn't find much new in this book.

One of the best Pacific War books I have read
This book gives an extremely good bu short overview of the strategy and progress of WWII in the Pacific, particularly in explaining why there were two different drives across the Pacific, and why the US invaded the Phillippines after capturing Saipan, Tinian, and Guam, instead of going straight for Japan through Iwo Jima and Okinawa.

Virtually every aspect of the war gets at least a sentence or two in the book.There is particular emphasis on Allied codebreaking, as perhaps the key to Allied victory.About the only omissions I noticed were that the carrier encounters of Eastern Solomons and Santa Cruz were not specifically mentioned, though the other carrier battles were well covered.

I should also point out that the author is no fan of MacArthur, to the point of perhaps even belaboring MacArthur's failings.This repeated emphasis might not sit well with readers who have strong positive feelings about MacArthur's generalship.

The book that ties it all together
Hopkins has assembled a commendable work that links the most important battles of the Pacific with the US strategy, the politics, and the personalities that shaped the Pacific theater.He provides the backgrounds for each major step and takes you through the events at a level sufficient to put it into the broader perspective.

You won't find content regarding technology or the tactics of specific battles.Hopkins puts a timeline to these seemingly disparate events of this theater to give the reader appreciation for the decisions of MacArthur, Nimitz, Halsey, Marshall, and Roosevelt. But he does it in a very readable way. The many maps help as well. I also enjoyed the brief descriptions of the smaller battles which haven't yet warranted their own books (which made me feel sorry for the many who perished fighting these battles without any real historical recognition).

Having read individual personal recounts of individual battles or campaigns in the Pacific, I was pleased that Hopkins has delivered a very readable history that brings it all together.I'm not a historian who remembers each fact, so I can't comment on Hopkin's accuracy.But its sufficient for a reader to "get" the US Pacific strategy and timeline, and to enjoy doing so.

I've avoided other books spanning the Pacific theater that are tomes with small print and too much detail, or those which seem to have the authors political slant."Retribution" comes to mind. If you've enjoyed reading books about Tarawa, Guadacanal, Peleliu, Okinawa, Iwo, then you'll appreciate what Hopkins has accomplished. ... Read more

Product Description

In the mid-nineteenth century, Baltimore businessman William Thompson Walters began to patronize the artists of Maryland. Today, the museum that bears his name -- Baltimore's Walters Art Gallery -- excels in fields as diverse as Egyptian bronzes, Byzantine silver, illuminated manuscripts, medieval carved ivories, early Renaissance paintings, Sèvres porcelains, Islamic metalwork, and Chinese ceramics. Surprisingly, the story of how William Walters and his son Henry created one of the finest privately assembled museums in the United States has not been told.

With this new book, William Johnston, the Walters's curator of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century art, restores William and Henry Walters to their rightful place among America's great art collectors. Drawing upon the knowledge of the early museum staff and gathering valuable information from the few other available sources, Johnston has painstakingly recreated the life and world of the Walterses.

Though Henry Walters moved easily in Baltimore and New York social circles, Johnston explains, he kept much to himself and generally purchased art away from the public's eye. Despite the Walterses' reticence, they had a significant influence on the development of American tastes and museums -- William in his role as the first chairman of the Committee on Works of Art for the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, D.C., and Henry as the second vice-president of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Their personal collection differs from those of other, more familiar collectors, such as J. P. Morgan and Henry Clay Frick, in that Henry Walters intended from the very first that the collection form a museum to serve the public. When the museum first opened its doors in 1934, Johnston relates, many visitors were surprised by the collection's size and by its comprehensive representation of the history of art from the third millennium b.c. to the early twentieth century.

Richly illustrated with black-and-white photographs and sixteen pages of full color, this book will fascinate anyone interested in Baltimore history, the history of museums and art collecting in America, and the art and culture of nineteenth-century America.

Product Description

Linguistics, or the science of language, emerged as an independent field of study in the nineteenth century, amid the religious and scientific ferment of the Victorian era. William Dwight Whitney, one of that period's most eminent language scholars, argued that his field should be classed among the social sciences, thus laying a theoretical foundation for modern sociolinguistics.

William Dwight Whitney and the Science of Language offers a full-length study of America's pioneer professional linguist, the founder and first president of the American Philological Association and a renowned Orientalist. In recounting Whitney's remarkable career, Stephen G. Alter examines the intricate linguistic debates of that period as well as the politics of establishing language study as a full-fledged science. Whitney's influence, Alter argues, extended to the German Neogrammarian movement and the semiotic theory of Ferdinand de Saussure.

This exploration of an early phase of scientific language study provides readers with a unique perspective on Victorian intellectual life as well as on the transatlantic roots of modern linguistic theory.

Product Description

William Jay Smith has been one of the most respected figures on the literary scene for more than half a century. Two of his thirteen poetry collections were finalists for the National Book Award, and the present volume is clearly the work of a true American master.

The volume opens with a poetic sequence, "The Atoll," concerning the tiny coral island of Palmyra during World War II. Finding himself on the narrow rim of an extinct volcano at almost the exact center of the Pacific, water on all sides, breakers pounding the reef, the poet evokes the distinct sensation that he had of being at the heart of Herman Melville's "oceans vast." In lines resonant and memorable, he recalls the "terrifying beauty" of standing at night on what seemed then the very edge of the earth.

The poet next addresses our current daily terror -- war and destruction. In "Invitation to Ground Zero" he presents a moving tribute to a victim of the September 11 disaster, while in "Willow Wood" a soldier, having recently lost both his legs in a roadside blast, utters without a trace of self-pity strong words on future wars. Tragedy marks many of these pages, but Smith does not forget his lifelong commitment to witty and satiric verse. To introduce several hilarious pieces, he reprints the celebrated poem "Dachshunds." Simplicity and musicality have given his wedding songs a wide audience. Several of them are here, including an extraordinary new one, "The Bouquet."

Variety has always characterized Smith's work. Words by the Water is particularly varied and unusually youthful and fresh.

An anthology of one of the great American minds of poetry, William Jay Smith
Chosen by the government as a consultant on poetry, "Words by the Water" is an anthology of one of the great American minds of poetry, William Jay Smith. Drawing on his massive experience as a man and a scholar of poetry, he presents some of his own, and fails to disappoint. "Words by the Water" is very much recommended reading for poetry fans. "Contemplation of Conspiracy":Where the table-leg projects into the yellow autumn/sunlight/like the poor premise of an argument,/the plotters gather, rotting wood at a creek's end/tirelessly planning the devastation of the spirit,/wiring the heart for a final explosion.//Where can they lead you but over the bridges of beetroot/into the country of spiders?//Do not follow them to their camp pitched in a cranny; bring your fist down hard on the table .../ and send them flying.

Heroism and The Some
Any student of the Korean War and the epic battel of the Marines at the Chosin Reservoir must read this book.Hopkins tells the story from his Roanoke, Virginia origins through the historic encirclement when the Chinese suddenly entered the war.Since he was the commander of the Headquarters Company of a battalon, his perspective is a step broader than that of the rifle companies in the line.First read "Breakout" by Martin Russ, then this detailed account of one unit of Marines who are at the center of it all.The courage and fighting spirit of these guys is truly inspirational.In the face of the worst weather faced by American troops in history, and outnumbered as badly as The Alamo, they endured and they won.Extraordinary!

Close observation at Chosin, although not under fire
In general, this is about (part of) Chosin operation.The author was thecommander of H&R company of 1st Battalion, 1st Marine during Chosinoperation.He gave a good account about the hardship the marines enduredduring the operation.Mind that his battalion was assigned the task oftaking Hill 1081 and wrestled the control of Funchilin Pass out fromsuperior Chinese Communist Part (CCP) forces.Unfortunately, he was insuch a position that he spent most of his time staying very close tobattalion HQ and could not provide more details about the fighting. (Interesting readers should look up S.L.A. Marshall's "Battle atBest".There is a chapter dedicated to the battle of Funchilin Pass.) But, it is still a good book with the first hand account of the Chosin. Of course, nobody who are interesting in Korea War would want to miss thetwo very valuable reports about CCP troops' attack patterns, written byS.L.A. Marshall himself, attached at the end of the book. ... Read more

In this age of managed care, it's likely that you have morequestions when you leave the doctor's office than when you walk inthe door. Who better to turn to for a remedy for that than the folksfrom Johns Hopkins, the hospital ranked at the top of U.S. News &World Report's list for eight years running. A joint effort of theuniversity's schools of Medicine, Hygiene & Public Health, andNursing, the Family Health Book includes more than 1,600 pagesof medical guidance, from basic first aid and emergency care to theintricate (but clearly explained) workings of the body's systems andorgans, to--possibly most importantly--ways to prevent illness inthe first place.

While many of the 500 illustrations are not forthe squeamish, this reference is incredibly useful, especially for theelderly or couples who are expecting or have small children. For eachdisorder and illness, the editors have included information on typicaland rare symptoms, tests a doctor may request for diagnosis, what youcan do for home treatment, when to call the doctor, and prognoses. The"Preparing for Surgery" section should calm the worries of anyoneabout to go under anesthesia. The only gripe? A pronunciation guidewould have been nice (leishmaniasis and paronychia don'texactly roll off the tongue), especially given that one of the bestchapters is called "Becoming a Partner in Your Health Care" andfocuses on doctor-patient communication. ...

I ran into this book by chance. I got it by mail from those book clubs that sent out stuff, and you can either pay it or return it.

Compelling story of a place few could even imagine...
This book conveys the words of a young Union soldier who was captured and taken to the Southern prison they called Andersonville.This detailed account taken from the diary of Charles Hopkins tells a story of survival and horror.It makes you imagine trying to survive in a disease riddened prison with barely any food or fresh water.Read this book because it will be one you will never forget

Involving, enlightening, and uplifting--a "must read"!
This first person account provides a wealth of insight into the day-to-day rituals of "life" in one of the most forbidding Civil War prison camps.Throughout his trials, however, Charles Hopkins never loses his faith in humanity and even manages to endure with a sense of humor.His uplifting story bears testimony to the strength of the human spirit under fire.Hopkins' style of writing is descriptive and conversational, and works well with the enlightening information and photos supplied by editors Mr. Styple and Mr. Fitzpatrick.I highly recommend this book to all who are interested in the Civil War and in becoming acquainted with one of its many unsung heroes. ...
