Military Order of World Wars
In this ambitious study of the intense and often adversarial relationship between English and American literature in the nineteenth century, Robert Weisbuch portrays the rise of American literary nationalism as a self-conscious effort to resist and, finally, to transcend the contemporary British influence. Describing the transatlantic "double-cross" of literary influence, Weisbuch documents both the American desire to create a literature distinctly different from English models and the English insistence that any such attempt could only fail. The American response, as he demonstrates, was to make strengths out of national disadvantages by rethinking history, time, and traditional concepts of the self, and by reinterpreting and ridiculing major British texts in mocking allusions and scornful parodies. Weisbuch approaches a precise characterization of this "double-cross" by focusing on paired sets of English and American texts. Investigations of the causes, motives, and literary results of the struggle alternate with detailed analyses of several test cases. Weisbuch considers Melville's challenge to Dickens, Thoreau's response to Coleridge and Wordsworth, Hawthorne's adaptation of Keats and influence on Eliot, Whitman's competition with Arnold, and Poe's reshaping of Shelley. Adding a new dimension to the exploration of an emerging aesthetic consciousness, Atlantic Double-Cross provides important insights into the creation of the American literary canon.

"Although the United States and the Soviet Union never met in combat, the Cold War and its looming threat of a nuclear apocalypse left a profound and permanent mark on North America's built environment. Hanson uses cases studies from Bikini Atoll, the Nevada Test Site, and the NIKE Hercules Missile Battery Site in Alaska, among others, to synthesize the major methodological, theoretical, and substantive contributions to the field of Cold War archaeology and to consider the numerous economic, political, and cultural issues related to the preservation of Cold War heritage sites"--Provided by publisher.

The Skyhawk first entered service with the US Navy almost 50 years ago. It first flew 22 June 1954 and is still in service with various US units and remains the backbone of many of the air forces of those countries to which it has been exported. It was originally conceived as a carrier-borne fighter bomber, but as the aircraft has evolved it has taken on other roles. It is renowned for its strength and survivability in combat. This is an in-depth look at the design, production, evolution, operation and performance of the aircraft. It will also include first-hand accounts of flying the Skyhawk in action. It is written for those enthusiasts and historians who are seeking the ultimate reference to this legendary aircraft.
